V-Moda Crossfade 2 Wireless review: Ace sound and comfort in a hardy industrial design

For round two V-Moda has knocked it out of the park with the Crossfade II Wireless. They're infinitely more comfortable than the originals, and while

Striking industrial design ; Customisable finishes and metals ; Miles more comfortable than original Crossfade ; Hi-Res Audio certified ; Oodles of bass without overdoing it ; Solid battery life

No aptX HD ; Bluetooth can be a little quiet (typical of Bluetooth headphones) ; No active noise-cancellation ; A little expensive ; Industrial design won’t suit all ; Those connectivity noises!

For round two V-Moda has knocked it out of the park with the Crossfade II Wireless. They're infinitely more comfortable than the originals, and while they still deliver strong bass the sound profile is better balanced, more accessible and even Hi-Res...

V-Moda Crossfade II Wireless review

V-Moda's Crossfade 2 wireless is an impressive second act that should easily appeal to style-minded bass heads.

Powerful, musical bass response ; Clearer, more refined soundstage ; Impressive wireless performance ; Foldable design is easier to transport ; Improved battery life

AptX feature limited to pricier model ; Earpads can pinch over time ; Slightly more expensive than original Crossfade

Improving on the original in sound and design, V-Moda’s new Crossfade 2 is an impressive second act that should easily appeal to anyone who likes their headphone sound with a heavy helping of smooth, musical bass.

V-Moda Crossfade 2 Wireless

The stylish V-Moda Crossfade 2 Wireless headphones deliver an ideal balance between lows and highs for a premium price.

Powerful audio performance with rich bass and bright, clear highs. Comfortable, unique over-ear design. Can be used in passive wired mode.

Sound signature not for purists. Pricey.

Audiophiles in search of flat response headphones will find the lows too pumped and the sculpting in the highs perhaps a tad too bright here, but most listeners will welcome this vibrant, balanced sound signature. The only question is: Do the Crossfade...

V-Moda's Crossfade 2 Wireless review: This headphone now has real audio chops

The V-Moda Crossfade 2 Wireless looks very similar to its predecessor, but it's been significantly improved -- particularly its sound quality.

The sturdily built, well-designed V-Moda Crossfade 2 Wireless delivers better battery life and improved sound over its predecessor, with more sculpted bass and better detail. The new larger earpads provide a more comfortable fit. And the headphone...

It's a tad heavy in weight -- and price.

New drivers, new cushions, more frequency response in wired mode and better battery life make V-Moda's next-gen Bluetooth headphone a winner.

V-MODA Crossfade 2 Wireless review: A worthy upgrade from its predecessor

When we reviewed the V-MODA Crossfade Wireless we absolutely loved them and the V-MODA Crossfade 2 Wireless are even better.

Premium build quality ; Design is slick ; Foldable ; Hard shell carrying case ; Sound is thick and rich ; Attention to detail

Customization options can drive the price up fairly high, but they are optional ; USB-C charging would have bee nice

The honest truth is, there are a ton of really spectacular headphones on the market, the V-MODA Crossfade 2 Wireless just happen to be one of them. These headphones are a little more bass heavy than some of the others I’ve reviewed and I think...

V-Moda Crossfade 2 Wireless headphones: excellent sound, no extras

V-Moda's headphones stand out for their exceptional design. But can they also keep up with the current competition in terms of sound quality? We took a closer look at the Crossfade 2 Wireless and, of course, checked out the audio as well.

Great design ; Good finish ; High-quality sound

High price ; No special features ; No noise cancelling

In the end, the V-Moda Crossfade 2 Wireless headphones leave me with mixed feelings. Without a doubt, I like them and would use them again and again. But nevertheless, I have to admit that they don’t hold up in direct competition. They’re simply too...

V-MODA Crossfade 2 Wireless improves sound staging, delivers clearer instrumentation. Foldable hinge improves portability, aptX codec improves wireless audio.

There is no reason to buy the old Crossfade. The new Crossfade 2 Wireless is foldable, delivers clearer high frequencies, improved sound staging for a more analytical musical experience.

V-MODA Crossfade II Wireless Review (Page 1 of 4)

About a month ago, I listed my parents' old minivan in the local classifieds for sale. Since the minivan happened to be a 2008 Honda Odyssey EX-L, the response was incredible. Being a somewhat experienced seller, you sort of learn to filter out some...

It has been over one and a half years since I reviewed the V-MODA Crossfade Wireless, and if you held out this long on buying some of the best headphones in the market, the Crossfade II Wireless is indeed the second chance you have been waiting for....
