So many people complaining about not all the models having aptX in them, but the ironic thing is unless your device outputting audio has aptX compatability then it doesn't make a dam difference, and I'll tell you one thing your iphone doesn't have it
I'm pretty excited for these headphones. Have had the Crossfade M-100's for almost 3 years now and I recently upgraded to the XL cushions and switched from HyperX to the M-100's w/ the BoomPro mic for gaming. Literally have these headphones on me most of every day and they have held up great. Really want to try out the new ones and see the difference in sound.
The next vmoda episode. "So we have been working on a new technology, we now are able to put aptx codec on all colors we have been working on this new technology for years."
The aptx should be on all models. Come on V moda. You don't see apple giving the rose gold iPhone more features than the black ones do you? Put aptx on all colour variants and you will immediately sell more headphones.
"Most audiophile" typically means anemic bass. In which case is a deal breaker. I got swayed by the hype of the XS when it dropped. The lack of bass was excruciating. I immediately upgraded to the M-100 and was ecstatic. So, if they are saying that this Crossfade ll is their new full-size headphone, they've lost a customer. The M-100 is the flagship and if they are now chasing a bass anemic audience, a lot of people will defect. Don't get me wrong, the XS sound signature is lovely. It simply leaves you waiting hopelessly for the bass to drop and it never does. If this CF2 is akin to that scenario, I'm out. Jude tends to rave about cans that give you everything except bottom. I want it all! Val, if you're going to improve anything, it should be the build quality in the M-100's which are fragile and crack at the point where the screws are placed. I have never changed my shields and yet the cans are cracked at the screw points with stress fractures. I expect better build quality at that price point. I love my M-100's regardless and am confused by this announcement. Are you saying that THIS CF 2 is the new flagship?
you want only bass? beats can do that. if i'm paying for something as much as this, i want a full range capable set of headphones. i actually hate overpowering bass... it limits the genre i can listen to. i can at least pair this with a good audio processor and fine tune it myself.
silverberet If you're going to reply, take the time to read that to which you're replying before you fly off in a misguided rant. I never said that I *only* want bass.
funny you said that. how about you? did you take time to read what i said without receiving it as a "rant"? do you want a rant? i can give you a rant. but then, since you already think anyone say which is not 100% aligned with your comment is a rant, then i probably won't waste any more time.
the biggest fault I see is the micro USB charger port. micro USB make ends get damaged so easily. USB type c is a huge improvement in terms of cable longevity. I hope that the crossfade 3 has a type c connector.
Sucks that you need to buy the rose gold for AptX :/ I'm loving the Matte White, even after being a long time Matte Black fan. Guess I'll be missing out.
I like rose gold jewelry. But, on headphones....I think not. Plus, IMO that is a girly color and despite being a girl, I definitely don't do girly colors EVER (one reason I buy men's sneakers). I have the Crossfade M-100's in white and have been waiting on these bad boys to be released since the first wireless ones came out. I figured they would eventually release one with cliqfold. However, if I can't get aptx (available on my Samusung Galaxy S7) on the matte white. I'm screwed again which sucks as I need a new pair asap.
I need help please!😫 I've been looking for a good pair of headphones with good SOUND QUALITY I want Sound Quality and I was was going to get the ATH M50x but now that these came out V Moda wireless 2 I don't know which to go for. I listen to all genres of music mostly vocal and instrumental I need help please someone reply.
i have owned m50x and V-Moda Crossfade Wireless 1. If you are not chasing bass and need appropriate bass punch with the asome clarity of sound and wide soundstage and will listen mostl of your music in wired mode then m50x is the winner but if you are using a samrtphone and want to use Wireless a lot then V-moda is the Choice and yes bass is awsome in Crossfade Wireless.
I have the crossfade wireless and the leather on the headband cracked. when i contacted Vmoda, they said it is not part of their guarantee but i can have another new one 50% off. So much for the immortality warranty.
bought the wireless, and bought the xl cushions grudgingly a few months back and now this comes out. and no introductory offer for previous buyers either. boo
yes but when they came out the m100 buyers (i was one) had an introductory offer. i spent on the xl pads and then and grumbled about the cliqfold... i dont mind the improved diapragham or the aptx coming in now but the other stuff... feels like it was intentionally held back to make this product more alluring.
I really want these headphones but as long as aptx is only available in that ugly a$$ rose gold I will pass. Hopefully in the future they will offer aptx in all colors. #APTXRoseGoldFail

Lmao
why don't put support for aptX on all headphone and let the buyer chose what color they like to own
I cant WAIT until i get my hands on these. I also want to add, I LOVE how they do the "upgrade" kindof system.
Wait, only the Rose gold has AptX? WHAT THE HELL! Why?
This could be my next headphone for sure
The aptx should be on all models. Come on V moda. You don't see apple giving the rose gold iPhone more features than the black ones do you? Put aptx on all colour variants and you will immediately sell more headphones.
XS wireless version would be the ultimate portable headphone for me.
my next headphone
Woulda been great with type C :(
Black with bronze would've been nicer...
Rohan Espada I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps a matte bronze.
yes. or even copper. anything but rose gold.... especially not the shiny one. i want a brushed look.
Aptx on rose gold only?!? ...massive fail, why on earth would they do that?

Biz Diva have you tried the original wireless crossfades? The bass has more punch than the M100.

silverberet Thanks. Buh-bye.
I hope vmoda make vmoda XS 2
Does the band extend for larger heads?
the biggest fault I see is the micro USB charger port. micro USB make ends get damaged so easily. USB type c is a huge improvement in terms of cable longevity. I hope that the crossfade 3 has a type c connector.
I will only get new headphones once my M100s stop working, you can't have my money vmoda
will those new pads work on the m100?
flack11 pretty sure they're gonna be compatible, dimensions look the same
wait.. how large of a leap are they compared to the first crossfade wireless?
why no Aptx HD?
Sucks that you need to buy the rose gold for AptX :/ I'm loving the Matte White, even after being a long time Matte Black fan. Guess I'll be missing out.
I want these.
whats everyones thoughts on the sennheiser pxc 550?

Whait! The last model doesn't have aptX!?!?!?
uhhh.....same here...hate gold but want aptX.
Where in Detroit can I try these out?
Can anybody tell how to get the chrome colour shield on crossfade 2?
Model them for us, dudes!
Just wait, in a couple of months they'll offer aptX on all colors.

kinda feels like showing the finger ,,/,, to adopters of the first one who wanted aptx and cliqfold
yah~
They better be more comfortable too the m100 crush my head
bought the wireless, and bought the xl cushions grudgingly a few months back and now this comes out. and no introductory offer for previous buyers either. boo
Flavian yep. I'm triggered as well....
Flavian You can trade in your CFW1 towards these and get them for $150 off.
Michael D still boo. Their warranty is nice. But still that would be losing 150
Dante Mabin The first version came out over a year ago. It's a fair price to upgrade.
yes but when they came out the m100 buyers (i was one) had an introductory offer.
i spent on the xl pads and then and grumbled about the cliqfold... i dont mind the improved diapragham or the aptx coming in now but the other stuff... feels like it was intentionally held back to make this product more alluring.
eh, not the kinda of frequency response I want. I'll stick with my m100s of 3 years.
Y'all complaining about lack of aptX on anything but rose gold when most devices don't even support it (look at their website)
Most Android devices do, such as Samsung phones, at leat from the Galaxy S6 and up. Also appears Mac is doing it so Iphones may be right behind them.
I really want these headphones but as long as aptx is only available in that ugly a$$ rose gold I will pass. Hopefully in the future they will offer aptx in all colors. #APTXRoseGoldFail
If aptx is ever offered in mat black then I will add these headphones to my collection.
