Review on 🎧 Gunmetal Black V-MODA Crossfade Wireless Over-Ear Headphone by Stacey Woodard

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Don't worry about the PC (or anything that needs to be synced to video)

I know what you're thinking. Tired of people tripping over the cord from your computer to your comfy seat on the couch; You're tired of being abused by your limited USB connections. You want to improve the sound. You need something good for gaming, music, and movies. You will literally not fill any of these needs. Because they are BT. Windows 10 and BT don't work well. At least not with BT on these phones. Don't even try. And I know what you're thinking right now, "Yeah, this guy's just too dumb to find out." But. no Pairs but does not connect. Connects but no sound. It will connect and have sound, but only intermittent OS; then it will be disabled immediately. Just look, you'll see tons of threads and no real solutions other than the standard "Start Troubleshooter" (LOL) and "Reinstall Drivers" which are the standard answers to everything that usually doesn't help, especially in this one Case. The best I could do was hook them up to my display. and the delay is so severe that you don't even have a fragment of the brain from the separation to watch movies with them. I have no idea if there will be any lag when plugged directly into a PC since, as I said, after a few weeks of trying to get it to work, there are no dice. It seems to me that if it's connected to a display and the display, as you know, is showing video at the moment, the audio should be in sync, but the latency is just awful, up to 50ms easily. Clearly noticeable. Obviously because of the BT connection. And now you're wondering which high-end wireless audio kit you should buy for your PC. And I have no idea - anything with decent sound seems to be strictly BT, which is crazy considering how low the bandwidth is for BT. BT can't even transmit voice from the microphone and play HD audio at the same time, even when properly connected. I was willing to ignore it, but I just mean one moot point: Why the heck only BT? Make a damn version with a dedicated 2.4GHz USB adapter for PC people or just for gamers. Our market is 100% unsupplied. They return. They are designed for those who want to walk around with their phone and listen to music. The sound is good. Very clearly. Bass is weak af.

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
