V-MODACrossfade LP2 Vocal Limited Edition Over-Ear Noise-Isolating Metal Headphone - Matte Black

I love the V Moda LP2. It's one of my favs among my collection. Thunderous Bass without compromising the rest of the frequency response. Mids are smooth and clear - vocals come out nicely without loss. Treble is controlled and is in a nice Goldie Locks zone...not too bright, not too dull.***YOU MUST GET THE UPGRADED EAR PADS - MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN SOUND AND COMFORT. I'm so glad I listened to another reviewer when I bought them. I bought the V Moda upgraded pads with the purchase. As shown in the picture, I opted for the grey pads. They look pretty cool. It matches the interior/ underneath grey headband fabric as well as the grey V Moda logo on top of the headband. I did try the stock pads first...sounds decent, but doesn't provide as much thunderous Bass as it does with the thicker upgraded pads ...the sound in general was a bit lack luster compared to with the upgrade imo...But those upgraded pads changed the sonic characteristics for the awesome good. Plus the stock pads were NOT comfortable (didn't take too long before I was uncomfortable). Upgraded pads are absolutely comfortable! Just get them. Don't think about it. Especially now that the pricing is so, so low and affordable (even off sale) for a great set of headphones. I dare you to find something else in this price range with these particular sweet characteristics.The build quality is superb. I read a couple people saying it wasn't all that - don't listen to them. I have my own collection of headphones (all sorts and types)...trust me - these LP2s are built like a tank. It doesn't make them too heavy either.Although they aren't quite certified as High Resolution like the V Moda Crossfade M-100's, they still have great sound quality. No doubt. I've never tried the M-100's, but I've read many people go back and forth arguing which one is better at this, that, and the other. Heres the bottom line of what I found (in case you are wondering) - M-100 has a frequency response of 5-40k Hz vs the LP2's 5-30k Hz range. The LP2 is still better than most standard headphones that have only 20-20k Hz...So it's not a make or break. Many people report that the M-100 does have slightly better resolution, detail and maybe separation (maybe ...maybe one of those or all ..this is mostly opinion) However - those who seem to be more honest and aren't suffering from the placebo affect (meaning that they don't automatically think the more expensive one is better) say the difference isn't huge. I can't verify that. Theres also an argument over which one has more bass...After an exhausting search thru pages upon pages of reviews on that topic, I found undeniable proof that the LP2 does indeed have more Bass. A review revieled that an actual engineer from V Moda had indicated that the LP2 does have more Bass tuning than the M-100...that's because the M-100 is tuned to be more accurate (although it still has a somewhat energetic tuning - especially compared to other High Res sets). *For the money, the LP2 is clearly the better deal - it's not even close...not by a long shot...especially when they are on a super sale - the higher model versions become stupid to get unless you really want that tad bit extra and have money to burn.If you want Bass (or if you don't, it's ok - EQ works) - THIS is it...don't go any farther...and yes - if it's not enough out of box, you can add more Bass thru an EQ safely and it will still sound wonderful. It's a very EQ'able headphone (EQ works well across the spectrum if needed). Same with other way around - if it's too much, you can easily decrease it. I don't think the Bass is flabby and / or muddies-up in the lower mid range --- it does just fine. It hits hard and fairly quick for what it is. Punchy doesn't quite explain it lol. (More than just punchy.) Unless you want Bluetooth, there's really nothing else that's quit like this in this price range. There is the Bluetooth Skullcandy Crusher Evo with its fun heptic Bass slider (LP2 does have BETTER all round sound quality compared to the Crusher Evo and other variants - easily...the only pro to the Crusher is it's sick bumping bass that literally rattles your brain from its built in subwoofer driver - if that's your thing - I have 3 different Crusher models lol) There's a few other headphone models out there that kinda have similar sound quality matched with super Bass, but they are kinda rare and mostly imported from Japan (Japan export models) -ie older Audio Technica Solid Bass models <OR> they are discontinued - ie older Sony XBass ...Soooooo- dont bother going any farther. Plus this LP2 is built better than any of those I have in mind. This headphone is a must for any collection...for anybody regardless of music genre and sound taste. It's versatile :)Considering the LP2 has a low resistance driver (32ohm), you can play these anywhere on any device.--- Bottom line -----> 50mm drivers...gets loud...booty slapping Bass...nice, clear audio... enough detail...comfortable (get those upgraded pads or at least an aftermarket upgrade if not official V Moda pads --- *** I do recommend the V Moda pads if available - no need to skimp here! )...build is premium and parts are replaceable (and customizable!)...their fit and finish is cool looking with a premium twist.I think I covered it...I could keep rambling on but I think you get the point. All you have to do now is hit the "Buy it Now" button and wait for it to be delivered to your address. Enjoy, beautiful Humans :) Take care - love ya :)

I am a college student and I like to listen to music on campus. I usually use them for music, videos, and sometimes gaming. I have had these cans for nearly a whole year now so now I feel like it's a good time to finally gave my review. As a background, I am not an audiophile. I do not look for the best and most expensive headphones. I look for the ones that give the best sound for the money. I seek for an uneven balance between performance and cost, performance being higher than the cost and luckily I stumbled across these bad boys. This headset was the perfect match for me. It offered high quality sound with high quality design at a price point that would make your wallets happy.Let's start with the most important factor when it comes to audio headsets like these.Performance: Compared to my other headsets that I have used in the past mainly for gaming, this one takes the cake. It offered incredible full stereo sound that sounds very crisp and clean. It has a very balanced sound and the bass has boom. The bass is just right and is not overpowering. I have used 3 headsets before. The Plantronics Gamecom 780, the SteelSeries Siberia V2 usb 7.1 version, and the Sennheiser HD201. I rarely used the Sennheiser so I can't really compare much but all I remember is that that one seems quiet and delivers average sound. The sound details on that one isn't that great and the bass seems to lack as I can recall. Both the Gamecom and Siberia performed better than the Sennheiser as the Sennheiser model is the HD201 which is very cheap and low end model. The Gamecom and Siberia both deliver Stereo and also 7.1 as an option. The V-moda LP2s may not have that 7.1 channel for virtual sound however on its own it sounds slightly better than those two with 7.1 virtual surround as I have tried them all for gaming mostly. Still, you can get a 7.1 surround for the LP2s if you have the software or some adapter for it. I use the Razer Surround Pro edition software and it works nicely. Overall in terms of performance, the V-moda LP2s outperformed all three headsets. It has excellent lows, great mids, and great highs. When I go to the gym, I like to play my old gaming music from my childhood. I would blast hd remasters or remixes of soundtracks from Castlevania and Final Fantasy series. They get me pumped up when I train and it sounds phenomenal! I also listen to anime music and also EDMs.Build and Design Quality: When it comes to build and design quality, I give it a 9! The V-moda LP2s feel and look very high end and premium. It has a sexy black look and hexagonal cups that make it shout the word "SEXY!" and it is just SEXY! Granted you can also order and customize the metal plates outside if you wish. Oh and not only are these SEXY but these are BEAST! It is very TOUGH in build quality. They design this with like the HULK's soul embedded into it or something as these are built like tanks. The material is mostly metal and some plastic but the plastic is very strong and high quality. Also the weak spots to wear headphones tend to snap are reinforced with more plastic and metal. The wire is braided like the cord of a high end gaming mouse and the plug is gold plated so that's a plus. Oh and I forgot to mention the headband/headrest on this is very flexible and can flex a lot with no breaks. All this high quality material on it makes it seem like it's a heavy thing to wear but it's NOT! It's AMAZINGLY LIGHT!Comfort: I have NOT used these with the stock ear pads but instead with the XL Memory Pads. They don't put a lot of pressure on your head and it feels nice to wear them. I feel like I can wear them for hours. For comfort I say it is GREAT! About 8 out of 10! The headband/headrest is great too! Also the comfort of outside noise is nice. The outside noise is somewhat blocked and reduced when wearing these as these have passive noise cancellation. It significantly reduces higher sounds and keeping the other sounds down a bit. When I wear these on a indoor crowded campus food court, it made the surrounding area full of talking people sound much more quiet to a comfortable level.Overall: I recommend getting this headset unless you want the M-100s which are truly for audiophiles. Also the new V-moda headset is coming out. The V-moda Crossfade Wireless headset is the new one coming out soon and it is said to sound on par or better than the M-100s! Maybe it's already out and available, just not on the Amazon yet.Other notes: I bought these during Black Friday sale at Amazon at a nice price. I did not use stock ear pads only XL ones which are sold separately. I use Razer Surround Pro for 7.1 virtual surround on my PC for gaming. For the gym I used this headset wireless by taking the cable off and putting a bluetooth adapter on it although there is a wireless version of this headset coming out soon but much more expensive.EXTRA notes to mention: It also comes in with extra cable and plugs and other goodies like extra shield plates(gunmetal color)! It has a nice tough black suit spiderman like case and the box is nice too! Plus 2 Year Warranty and Immortal Life 50% Program!SUMMARY: [Performance: 8.5; B&D Quality: 9; Comfort: 8] = MUST BUY!

I don’t write reviews often, but after receiving these headphones and testing them out I was blown away! If you’re looking for bass that will rattle your brain like the Skullcandy Crusher Evos, then the Lp2’s are not for you. But if you desire a good amount of bass that’s extremely rich and clear with a balanced mid and treble section, then these are for you! I plugged mine into my Mackie Onyx Artist 1-2 audio interface and immediately played my favorite rap songs. I was expecting more head rattling bass, but I was pleasantly surprised how deep and clean the bass was. The reviewer that said these headphones are “fun” is spot on, I produce music as a hobby and I usually use Audio Technica ath-m40x headphones, which quite frankly don’t have bass.. they are tuned flat for accurate playback and aren’t necessarily “fun.” However, I plugged the Lp2’s in and started making a song, I have not had that much fun doing vocals in a very long time! If you like rap or electronic music and seek a “fun” listening experience, I highly recommend these V-moda Lp2’s. The construction of the headphones is very durable metal and the cables I don’t find annoying like most cables. I just had these on making music for about 3 hours straight and I had absolutely no discomfort. They also aren’t huge and bulky like the Skullcandy Crusher Evos, these Lp2’s have a sleek design and come in very intuitive packaging, they even come with a carrying case! If you’re passionate about music and are looking for an experience, I highly recommend getting these headphones, you will be glad you did!
