Good quality product, I rate this purchase excellent.

I took the headphones precisely because of the ability to connect both by wire and without. Perfect for home and non-lossless music. If you need bass-bass to directly "rock" like in a basin - maybe you should look in the direction of the synchs, but for electronic music - it's perfect. For movement outside the house I would take earplugs, these headphones are not easy. PS: nevertheless, the difference with the wireless mode is felt, although not always - in some cases in the wireless mode…

Pros
  • Sound I use headphones exclusively at home and connect to a Mac - in this case everything is great, the sound is 9 out of 10 points - the sound is balanced, the bass is more natural and not as pronounced as "shaking" as on sinhas (although I would not refuse such ones), in general presses normally and it is ideal for electronic music - a very good stage and a "meaty" sound. Wireless mode I also doubted whether to take bluetooth or radio, like in radio headphones from some manufacturers a custom protocol that provides a wider bandwidth, but if you do not listen to lossless, there is absolutely no difference. Before that, there were radio headphones from a well-known brand and they had a drawback - a slight hiss in the headphones when the music was turned off, there is no such thing at all, perfect silence (practically, when connected via bluetooth, there is a very light background, but it is imperceptible, probably this is noise reduction) . The control buttons are rather inconvenient. Wired Mode Although I heard many times that there is a huge difference in sound between apt-x / aac and sbc, but again - in fact, listening to music in normal bitrate through iTunes, I didn’t notice the difference between wired and without wired, probably the difference will be if you listen to lossless. Also, in wired mode, the headphones do not seem to waste a charge. Assembly Well, it's just ecstasy - weighty headphones, nothing creaks, the packaging is just trash - both the box and the case. The wire is also cool, fabric and pleasant. Ear pads The earbuds are fairly snug and the ear cushions are compact and will probably not completely cover the ears of those with very large ears; but with normal ears. The ear cushions are "type" leather (or actually leather) and the ears sweat a little after a long listening session, I would change to fabric ones.
Cons
  • Among the shortcomings - I couldn’t connect via aac / apt-x to the poppy, although I tried the well-known option via the console and using apple bluetooth explorer. However, this actually does not matter much, because. even in SBC, there is no difference with wired mode (at least when listening to music in tuna bitrate).

The product is of poor quality, I do not advise.

In the first days, after switching from inexpensive Sony to current headphones, I did not notice the difference and thought: "Why did I take such expensive ones?" I'll be back! The sound of the V-Moda is much better, starting from a better bass, ending with the overall stage, they play better, but these headphones have a huge minus, this is the “left earpiece dump” when listening via bluetooth. My first pair worked for a couple of months and the left earpiece began to gradually fail and after a

Pros
  • The sound is good, before that there were no expensive headphones, only Sony MDR-XB450, which I bought for 2.5 so in V-moda crossfade 2 the sound is completely higher.
Cons
  • The model is very bad: Already in my second pair of V-Moda Crossfade 2, the left (L) earphone fails when listening to music via bluetooth connection (both phones and a laptop were the source, the result is the same, the (L) earphone does not work)!

High-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

Otherwise, the headphones are great! Sound! Add up! Mechanical control (this is an amateur). Appearance (+ possibility of customization). Availability of Aptx codec (in ROSE GOLD and CODEX Edition versions

Pros
  • I liked everything except the battery life.
Cons
  • Depends, of course, on the volume of listening (and they have it - God forbid), but not always enough for the evening. And another boring warning that the battery will soon be completely discharged and you can not turn off the warning.

The best thing for the money, Im glad I chose this option.

I bought a month ago with delivery for 18 thousand Rose Gold with Aptx. The houses were Xena's 580s paired with Lehman, Bluedio Faith 2 and lots of plugs over $100: dynos, armatures, hybrids. After the appearance of these, got rid of all. Briefly about the sound with tested connections. Normal bluetooth - from the first sound the difference with F2 is clear, but not a fountain. Aptx - Avantree Usb + Win10, much better like MP3 320 Kb/s cable on Meizu Pro7. If there was a cable, I would compare…

Pros
  • Cool packaging, equipment and the headphones themselves are nice to take in hand. I really liked the sound. Convenient management. They sit well. Folding.
Cons
  • More like a wish. The long cable is missing.

Great value for the money, definitely recommended!

The stated battery life (about 14 hours) is kept. AptX is, but see disadvantages. I have the gold trim version. The best headphones for their price (~$350) that I have ever heard and held in my hands, and I have heard a lot of them. Based on the results of several years, I see no reason to change the review, the operating time may have fallen by half an hour, but this is normal for an elderly battery. Recently, one inner plug of the case was lost, which protrudes like a herringbone from the…

Pros
  • They sit comfortably on my head and ears, excellent sound with a good panorama. There is no active noise reduction, that is, no electronic dirt in large quantities is mixed into the sound. Although the headphones are close to monitor ones in terms of parameters, in fact they are more tailored for electronic music, for classics, rock, jazz, etc. It's worth playing around with the equalizer.
Cons
  • When connected by wire - they are not. And without wires - the sound quality is limited by the Bluetooth standard, which is quite expected. Lossless through the air makes no sense to listen. In the subway, at a comfortable volume, it is very weak, but ambient noise is heard. If you listen to lossless in the metro - you won't hear the difference between the wire and without :)

Awesome headphones

Reliable headphones with great sound and low profile. My son is very hard on the headphones and has changed several pairs. They were rated as one of the most durable wireless earbuds, so I decided to buy him one for Christmas. They hold up very well, partly because the headband is a bit firmer (although not uncomfortable) and they have a very low/thin profile so they don't bang or snag on objects. They also sound great and seem to be built very sturdy. There is no active noise suppression, but…

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • There are cons

Didn't work for two years

These were great wireless headphones, although they worked it took less than two years for my bluetooth to start playing in one ear only. When they worked, they had a lot of volume and a great sound. I used them for gaming and even after wearing them for over 6 hours my ears didn't get tired and I still felt comfortable. You may have better luck with yours but I won't be buying another pair as the warranty is only one year and I would expect better quality than two years from such expensive…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Nothing

Excellent product for in-ear headphones

I've been in music for a long time (almost 20 years). I was a DJ, producer and podcaster, amateur and professional. I was looking for great headphones at a great price and of course no one wanted them due to my keen hearing. After almost a year of searching and reading the top 10 wireless earbuds, I decided to stop here. It's beyond gorgeous, the material is exactly as said, and you don't expect anything other than the perfection of its form. They are very comfortable and the sound quality is…

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Fits

Very durable: in-ear headphones

This thing is built like a tank and I love it. Based on the photos it looks like it's a bit delicate, but the bars holding the earcups are solid metal and the top strap is quite stiff. However, it is quite heavy and after a while it starts to hurt when you wear it. As other reviewers have pointed out, the earcups are snug and put a slight but increasingly noticeable pressure on the ear tips if, like me, you tend to wear your headphones for long hours. However, this is not a crucial factor, in…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Secret

Good product TERRIBLE customer service

I tried contacting Vmoda support via email and phone. I never get an email reply and when you call support and connect with an agent they send you to "Billy" or more specifically his voicemail which is full. The same thing has been happening for over a year now, although I try to contact them again from time to time. I just want to replace a tiny little screw that I can't find anywhere else online because it fell out and my headphones are really loose. and free. Recently, my headphones stopped…

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Excellent Sound Quality #

I'd like to give these headphones a higher rating, but there are a few things you should know as a buyer of these headphones. I originally bought these headphones to block out noise at work and also to get a decent listening experience. Well the Crossfade 2's aren't that comfortable, I mean they feel tight around my ears and the headband on top starts to hurt a little after a while. They're fine for short periods of time, but if you plan on wearing them almost 24/7, I'd recommend Bose. The…

  • Certified

5 star sound but a few minor things

5 star sound, overall I like them just a few things I would change. They have excellent sound quality and volume, especially with a wired connection. They're just a little rich on the base, which is what they love, but maybe not what some people are looking for. Clarity is also fantastic throughout. The main complaints seen in other reviews are mostly true: buttons that match well so they don't ruin the look of the headphones, they're a little hard to tell apart by touch, and they feel a bit…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Only available in white

Since I bought my first pair of Koss in 1969, I've owned about a dozen high-quality on-ear headphones. Whilst I have always preferred neutral and accurate sound reproduction, the gradual decrease in hearing acuity prompted me to purchase the slightly brighter yet quality sound reproduction of Crossfade 2. What a deep listening pleasure after 14 months of use! These are very well designed and durable headphones that have held up to my occasional sloppiness (drops, spills, sweating, etc.). The…

Pros
  • One-year trial period
Cons
  • Almost everything fine

As a rare treat for your amazons, here is the longtime owner of this product. If you want to buy something durable, maybe at a higher price (of course, because you expect higher quality from more expensive products): be careful with the buyer. I have had these headphones since November 2017 and use them very rarely. I take good care of them and they mostly sit on my desk at work. They sound pretty good, although the Bluetooth drivers seem to be problematic here, as they sound a lot better when…

Pros
  • Beautiful packaging
Cons
  • disappears

Fantastic quality

I'm a bit of a music lover. But I also travel a lot, be it at work, at school or when travelling. Traditional headphones never worked for me because they never gave me the quality of music I like. The first pair of higher quality headphones I got were the Beats Pro (I was in high school and they were all the rage). While the noise cancellation and sound quality were excellent, they were INCREDIBLY fragile. Very plastic. That was a problem for me. The Beats Pro I lasted just over a year before…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Since I bought my first pair of Koss headphones in 1969, I've owned about a dozen quality on-ear headphones. Although I've always preferred neutral and accurate sound reproduction, the gradual deterioration in hearing and visual acuity prompted me to purchase the slightly brighter yet high-quality Crossfade 2 sound reproduction.
