Bonjour,

So I've been thinking about grabbing myself V-Modas for quite some time now actually .. matter of fact for few years now but for one reason or another it just kept getting delayed and even at this date I don't know why.
I've ordered quite a bunch of stuff from Canada and had it brought to me over a month ago, full suitcase filled with stuff that I'll be putting up on PG with unboxings and reviews as time goes by after I give them enough time to actually write a review about it including stuff like monitor arms, gaming keyboard, noctua fans etc.
I will be keeping this thread sweet and short with lots of pictures as the review of this will come after some time when I'm done testing it enough because right now I have yet to even use them to hear songs, movies or anything actually. I just tested them to make sure they work and that's about it. So without any further ado, I bring to you,
V-Moda Crossfade LP2 (Please look for pictures in the spoiler tag as there are so many, thank you.)

Spoiler: show






































Oh and I also bought CableDrop by Bluelounge and here are some of the pictures, very nifty product to say the least if you're into keeping things neat and tidy.

So there you have it guys, the review should be coming in near future InshaAllah as I use it for a while and will put some more picture of it and Beats Executive comparing it head to head for those interested until then, Sayonara.

P.S. @abobobilly I figured since there are so many pictures best make use of the Spoiler Tag, eh? Did I do it right? ;)

Congrats Man those headphones are looking great.
They certainly do! I started using them for a bit while on my phone using Spotify (thank you, [MENTION=38771]Anurin[/MENTION] for getting me hooked up on this app.) and the sound so far is just .. impeccable so will do more testing with various different kind of music but I know it'll come out on top with all and then I will have to test it in gaming and put it against Razer Megalodon and Beats Executive that I have so it's gonna be a while until I put up a review.

Congrats......................
Thank you.

Sounds quality is great too but they definitely do look sexy and I love how you can customize them with any kind of shields that you can buy from their website or give them your design and have them 3D print it on the shield, definitely a cool thing if you like things personalized.

Behtareen umer bhai :)
Thanks, brother.

mabrooook mabrooook :)...

the headphone case looks like a reptile
Yeah they call the it Exoskeleton Case :)

whats the Price
It's listed as $170 right now on their site but retails for ~$200 usually. Very nice performance and sturdy in this price point, I'd definitely call them best budget audiophile headphones.

Congrats. They look pretty unique. Will be unboxing my own pair of headphones pretty soon.
They definitely are man! You gotta check their website and how they offer 3D Design on their shields that you can customize and install on your headsets if you're into that sort of thing.
I have yet to use them more but I'll tell you right now that they're the best ones I've ever used so far. Since they're my first audiophile headphones so I can't compare them to abominations like Razer Megalodon 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound and Beats Executive but in my review I'll compare it anyway specially for gaming and stuff.

lol @ abominations...well ..pro headphones quite tend to get bigger in sizes :D
Not necessarily, there are some great IEMs that can beat the hell out of headphones such as the offerings from Shure but yeah in general they can get bigger but as you can see the ones I have right now, they're perfect on the head without giving me headaches for using it for over an hr unlike Beats Executive that can give you migraine after a long session. Definitely interested to use them though, had them for a while on my head for few hours I'd say listening to Spotify on my phone and it was great so far.

You can use it for free on your phone and it'll only let you play music via "Shuffle Play" like .. if you pick out an album to play, it'll shuffle the songs one after another for you and you cannot pick a single song like normally.
I have yet to see any ad on my iPhone Spotify App but on PC Spotify Software you can end up getting some ads specially if you're logged in via VPN and that can get annoying.

But I really like it, you should give it a shot and if you're on Android I think you can download .apk file off Google and be good with it and enjoy all the premium features without paying otherwise it's $9.99 / month or $4.99 / month for students but I have to say .. using it for few hours only, it's definitely worth it specially if you're traveling and don't want to carry around all the songs with you and such. [MENTION=9907]ammarzubair[/MENTION] did the same with his Android phone and he's all happy now #AndroidMasterRace

Got these for my mom a couple of years back, these have been her daily drivers, the Crossfades do not disappoint.

Although $170 is a bit too steep for these, hell I got them for $70 sometime back....

Do note that the free version of Spotify streams in 96kbps where as the paid version offers 320kbps. Not doing expensive headphones justice playing songs at 96kbps.

Wow...congrats bro, on your another mind blowing purchase.
Thanks, mate.

Lo..asal baat to reh hi gaye :D
Actually, Free Mode will let you change your Streaming Quality up-to "High" which will be equivalent to approximately 160 kbit/s but to get 320 kbit/s you need Premium and that's where these headphones should shine, nothing less.

Normal: 96 kbit/s
High: 160 kbit/s
Extreme: 320 kbit/s

Hope it helps, [MENTION=69152]MonoQ[/MENTION].

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
