V-Moda XS

 

V-Moda proves it can also make a stellar pair of on-ear headphones

Slim, head-hugging design ; Comfortable memory foam ear cushions ; Excellent overall sound quality

Disappointing sound leakage ; Poor noise isolation

The V-Moda XS are great pair of on-ear headphones only let down by its ability to drown out external noise.

V-Moda XS review

 

Detailed and balanced headphones with a few quirks

Detailed and balanced sound ; Bullet-proof build ; Compact for travel

Bass could use more impact ; Loose fit on the head ; Mediocre noise isolation

The V-Moda XS are the perfect travel buddy for audiophiles. It’s balanced and detail-rich sound is a pleasure to listen to, plus, it’s built like a tank. While the bass could use a little more impact, we had little complain about the sound. However,...

V-Moda XS: Upgraded on-ear headphones make the grade

 

V-Moda's XS headphones look a lot like the company's M80s, but a couple of key design changes -- and performance tweaks -- make the new model markedly better.

The V-Moda XS is a compact, comfortable on-ear headphone that has a sturdy design and folds up into a small carrying carry case (included). It sounds slightly better than V-Moda's earlier on-ear headphone, the M80, and comes with a reinforced...

Design won't appeal to everyone.

If you're looking for a $150-$250 on-ear headphone, the well-built V-Moda XS should be on your short list.

V-Moda XS on-ear headphones

 

Customisable plates allow these headphones to be tailored to all tastes

Mid-range performance ; Customisable plates ; Overall design

Fatigue during long-term use ; High frequencies struggle ; Clarity at high volumes

The V-Moda XS on-ear headphones produce above average sound, but do carry pitfalls. They thrive at the low end of the mid-range delivering some genres near perfectly, but can struggle when highs compete with lower frequencies. Sound aside, the custom...

V-Moda XS On-Ear Headphones provide comfort, incredible sound

 

With apologies to the folks at Apple-owned Beats, I think V-Moda makes some pretty nice headphones. I've been using a pair of custom Crossfade LPs for years,...

V-Moda XS on-ear headphones review

 

V-Moda spent a lot of time trying to develop the perfect successor to its popular Crossfade M-80 on-ear headphone. The fruit of all that labor is the XS, a $200 model that's both more comfortable to wear and arguably slightly better sounding.

V-Moda XS Headphones ( Matte Black)

 

At first glance, the two models look a lot alike, but there are a few key differences. For starters, the XS has a hinged headband that allows you to fold up the headphone like the company's larger over-the-ear M-100 , which earned an Editors' Choice...

V-Moda XS On-Ear Headphones Preview

 

Preview: The on-ear V-Moda XS headphones have all the styling and sound quality you expect from the company but now with a more form fitting headband, smaller form factor, and lower price tag.

If you like V-Moda headphones but you wanted something more compact and formfitting,the XS headphones should excite you. With all the design features such ascustomizable back plates on the earcups and a dedication to eliminating plasticand circles, the...

V-Moda XS On Ear Headphones Review: Seriously Surprised!

 

So if you've been following my reviews lately, you'll know full well that I've been pushing out plenty of headphone reviews, which has given me a new perspective on sound. From Parrot's Ziks to Monster's DNA Pro 2.0s, I've been testing some of the best...

Materials, Design, Sound

Perhaps the price point after deep customization, but that's really a personal thing. The base price is worth the money
