Crossfade M-80 On-Ear Pure Noise Isolating : METAL : Headphones

Explosive Sound. Sleek Size.
Half the size of the rock solid leading Crossfade LP, M-80 fuses Pure Noise Isolating
Sound, Military-Level Durability and Timeless Materials.

	Superior Sound
	40mm Dual-Diaphragm drivers (biggest in class) Vibrant Bass, Vivid Mids, Vivacious Highs V-PORT V3 Soundstage BLISS™ Noise Isolation Ergonomic Utilitarianism
	Military-Level Quality
	Lightweight, steel construction Ergonomic Steelflex Headband Exoskeleton hard case Military-Level quality (MIL-STD-810G) Kevlar^® reinforced cables pass 1 million flex cycles

Masterfully Created
Authentically tuned by a legion of legendary musicians, Grammy-Award winning producers and DJs, Crossfade M-80 packs unique materials, professional acoustics, natural noise isolation, ultimate ergonomics and military-level ruggedness into a design 53% smaller than its now legendary, over-ear sibling. Refusing to conform to the sound-age of over-processed digital compression and disposable products, M-80 is a salute to the true masters of music, machines and materials.

Pure Sound
The nucleus of M-80 is its patent-pending and biggest-in-class 40mm Dual-Diaphragm Drivers that deliver multi-driver sound with the energy efficiency and consistent quality of a single driver. To recreate a pure balanced sound analogous to Vinyl, M-80 uses no batteries or artificial sound processing and instead relies on immortal acoustic techniques.
No batteries needed

Natural BLISS Isolation
Supple BLISS memory foam ear cushions naturally isolate noise and immerse you into your own world of sound. The specially tuned V-PORT V3 and memory cushions create a true 3D sound stage versus fully closed-back headphones by directing air out of the ports to maintain tranquility. It's the perfect balance of isolation, staging and ergonomics that makes M-80 the essential companion for long play sessions on smartphones, notebooks, and tablets. V-PORT

V-PORT V3 Airflow System Sophisticated Style
M-80's first-class materials are virtually indestructible including a steel frame, STEELFLEX headband, interchangeable brushed metal shields, durable microfiber suede and replaceable memory foam cushions. The M-80 also comes fully loaded with two Kevlar-reinforced microphone cables for universal smartphone compatibility and an exoskeleton carry case for added road warrior armor.

Material Edge

Custom Shields
V-MODA believes in the ability to be unique and remix your headphone. With the M-80's interchangeable custom metal shields, you can choose from a selection of colors, designs, and even submit your own artwork.

Military-Level Durability
Using strict military testing guidelines (MIL-STD-810G), no company puts their product through more punishment and duress than V-MODA to ensure quality.

The M-80 is tested under strict MIL-STD-810G military testing and V-MODA's even tougher VMQA guidelines, of which a few are listed below.

MIL-STD-810G and V-MODA Quality Tests

Kevlar reinforced detachable cables and 45-degree plug strain relief can each bend over 1 million times, over 100x industry standards
Survives 70+ drops on concrete from 6 feet, approximately three times the industry standard
Headband can bend 10+ times flat, not break and retain its memory and shape
Virtually inaudible sound variances across the spectrum of less than 2dB from unit to unit versus 10-30dB+ of inferior products
MIL-STD-810G environmental tests including high and low temperatures, humidity, salt spray and UV exposure

The Fit is the Sound
To make supernatural sound required supernatural ergonomics, as the fit can alter the sound up to 50dB with on-ear headphones. Additionally, most on-ear headphones are so uncomfortable they can only be worn for a few minutes, which is unsuitable for watching your favorite shows or jamming to your favorite mix in our modern mobile lifestyle.

The M-80's tailored fit is balanced enough to create a natural sound with a proper on-ear seal, and ensures there's never too much pressure on any part of the head at any time, so you can rock on deep into the night.

"Every genre of music and all the videos we tested with the
new Crossfades sounded pretty close to great right away."
- iLounge (Crossfade M-80 and V-80 review)

TrueHertz
Did you know that not all headphone drivers are created equally? Without rigorous quality testing, many headphones have variances from unit to unit of up to 30dB, even on the left to right channels. But V-MODA's strict driver testing program guarantees consistent quality and critically-acclaimed sound in every single pair of M-80 headphones, every time.

When it comes to the frequency response curve, the traditional old-school specifications people judge headphones by, such as 5Hz-30kHz does not paint a full picture. V-MODA sculpts the sound at every step along the entire frequency response range by utilizing a 31-band EQ, lab and subjective testing during the tuning stages.

Sound Curve

*Verified by independent lab technicians.
Guaranteed Satisfaction
V-MODA's commitment to quality stays with you: Each M-80 is backed by an unrivaled two-year premier warranty. And if you're rough on your headphones, don't worry. With the M-80's Immortal Life replacement program, you get a 50% off lifetime replacement guarantee. (See package insert for details.) V-MODA even offers an unrivaled 60-day test drive guarantee.

Universal Compatibility and Communication
M-80 is universally compatible with all audio devices, smartphones and tablets with a standard 3.5mm port. It works perfectly on all iPhone®, Android®, Blackberry^TM, iPod®, tablets, notebook, MP3 and audio devices.

Included are two detachable cables, a 1-button microphone and a 3-button cable for Apple products. Also, it's great for gaming and fully Skype compatible on smart phones, tablets and latest generation Apple products without the need for an adapter. Additional cables and pro audio 1/4" adapters are also available.

What's Included?
V-MODA Crossfade M-80 headphones, exoskeleton hard case, detachable Kevlar reinforced 1-button mic/audio cable, detachable Kevlar reinforced 3-button mic/audio cable, carabineer bag clip, 2-year warranty. V-MODA's immortal life program.

Have to ship to V-Moda at my own expense to have it replaced for warranty. Will update if possible when replacement is received. Did you find this review helpful?

TrinityDark 1/18/2012 2:33:31 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 1/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5So far so good Pros: I really like the slick design and the handy carrying case that comes with the headset. The sound has been very nice and have heard no irregularity from any audio that I have tried so far. Very sturdy design which is great since I can be a klutz sometimes. Noise cancellation is another plus its good to have a headset that gives you some immersion with whatever you are doing since I cant hear people when I am listening to music or playing a game it is a blessing. Cons: The headset doesn't seem to have an adjustable head phones area so I have to wear the headset one way which is ok but the wire the plugs into the headset stretches from the left ear to the computer over to the right. Really just a placement issue. Hard to figure out the in line voice chat thing at first glance. Not to many negatives to go off of with this headset. Did you find this review helpful?

Tyler Roy 11/27/2011 11:10:21 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5	Rating: 5/5Excellent sound; unbelievably durable Pros: Excellent mid and high end response. Bass is very well balanced and not overwhelming like the Crossfade LPs. These are without a doubt the most durable headphones I've ever tried. V-Moda included THREE cables with microphones inline -- even more than advertised! These things are SMALL! I have no problem sticking the awesome hard case they include into a book bag. Everything about these things screams quality Cons: The memory foam earpieces are not for everyone, and they take a while to mold to your hears. During this process, your ears can hurt after extended listening sessions. If I listen to them for a very long time, I always come away with sore ears as my ears stick out. My girlfriend, who has flatter ears, has no problem with them over long periods of time. The in-line microphone leaves much to be desired, as it rubs against your clothing and makes a lot of noise. It seems more like an afterthought than anything else, and I would have appreciated a little more effort going into the design. A clip, perhaps? Other Thoughts: For the first couple of weeks of ownership, the sound quality on my M-80s was actually quite bad. I was disappointed after how much I loved the Crossfade LPs. The more I listened to them, however, the better they got. These babies need time to warm up. I highly recommend that you plug these headphones into your computer and run them on classical music for 48 hours to break them in. The bass is not nearly as strong as the Crossfade LPs. If you love artificially heavy bass, try those, but the bass in the M-80s is very accurate and not boosted. After the very good Crossfade LPs and the stellar M-80s, V-Moda is now my favorite audio company. I'll never buy another company's over-ear headphones. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful.
