I tried the v-moda m100 a few months ago when I purchased it and deciding between them and the hd 650. In the end I kept the 650, these headphones are without a doubt pretty overpriced for the sound quality.
Pros: The m100 is pretty stylish is it one of the most stylish heaphones out there, build quality seems somewhat solid though I am not a big fan of those metal hinges it just seems a bit delicate for my tastes. These headphones are without a doubt for bass heads they are pretty v-shaped but it also seems like it is lacking or a bit rolled off on the treble. Bass extension is great but just a tad bit farty and uncontrolled (stock pads).
Cons: The m100 is pretty overpriced for what it does perhaps not Bose overpriced but around there. My kevlar cable had these little white wires coming out of it, after a week of use and to be honest the sound quality is not that great. The mids are really recessed, with the bass basically overwhelming them bass it is not as controlled or defined as it should be it sounds bloated and slightly farty. The soundstage is extremely closed in there is basically no sound stage with these headphones. Due most likely to the slight roll off on the treble, this headphone is missing a ton of detail and resolution in the mids. The bass doesn't help much as it overpowers them. Basically for what this headphone retails for $300 it is not worth it at all, at that price point you are better off getting a deal on an hd 650 or 600 and if you just care about bass heavy music I would suggest the he-400 instead. If you want something portable the momentum sounds better than this heck even the m50 is better.
