"Winning raves from company founder Val Kolton's fellow DJs and other stylish children of the night both for their strong audio performance and their standing as fashion accessory"
- Rolling Stone (view)
"I simply can't think of another headphone that does so much, so right. They look like a million bucks, they're built like a tank, the accessories are super tasty, the sound is among the best in class, and the ability to have custom graphics emblazoned on the shields puts the V-MODA Crossfade M-80/V-80 right over the top. I simply can't recommend them highly enough. I love these headphones. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED"
- InnerFidelity, Tyll (view)
"M-80 has earned its way into the collective psyche of headphone audiophiles as one of the top choices for a portable headphone based on its sound quality alone. It's built as tough as a Vault, yet looks like the product of an Italian design house"
- HEAD-FI Founder, Jude
"Superior sound built on a strong bass line crafted to enhance dance tunes and club mixes. But acoustic numbers are also treated well, even low bit-rate MP3s come to life when heard through these on-ear phones."
- USA Today (view)

"very solid sounding. I was impressed"
- Tekzilla, Patrick Norton

"V-MODA’s M-80 is one of most capable, revealing, and best-balanced on-ear headphones we’ve tested"

METAL


Crossfade M-80 On-Ear Noise Isolating : METAL : Headphones

Explosive Sound.  Sleek size. Our finest metal masterpiece.

Half the size of the rock solid, leading Crossfade LPs that is trusted by the pros and elite, M-80 fuses Pure Noise Isolating Sound, Military-Level Durability and Timeless Materials.

MasterCrafted®
Authentically tuned by a legion of legendary musicians, Grammy-Award winning producers and DJs, Crossfade M-80 packs unique materials, professional acoustics, natural noise isolation, ultimate ergonomics and military-level ruggedness into a design 53% smaller than its now legendary, over-ear sibling.  Refusing to conform to the sound-age of over-processed digital compression and disposable products, M-80 is a salute to the true masters of music, machines and materials.


Size Comparison


PureSound
The nucleus of M-80 is its patent-pending and biggest-in-class 40mm Dual-Diaphragm Drivers that deliver multi-driver sound with the energy efficiency and consistent quality of a single driver. To recreate a pure balanced sound analogous to Vinyl, M-80 uses no batteries or artificial sound processing and instead relies on eternal acoustic techniques. 

No Batteries Needed

BLISS Noise Isolation
Supple BLISS memory foam ear cushions naturally isolate noise and immerse you into your own world of sound. The specially tuned V-PORT V3 and memory cushions create a true 3D sound stage versus fully closed-back headphones by directing air out of the ports to maintain tranquility. It's the perfect balance of isolation, staging and ergonomics that makes M-80 the essential companion for long play sessions on smartphones, notebooks and tablets.

V-PORT ® V3 Airflow System - Minimal Leakage & Maximum 3D

MaterialEdge
M-80’s first-class materials are virtually indestructible including a steel frame, STEELFLEX headband, interchangeable brushed metal shields, durable microfiber suede and replaceable memory foam cushions. The M-80 also comes fully loaded with 2 Kevlar-reinforced microphone cables for universal smartphone compatibility and an exoskeleton carry case for added road warrior armor.


As V-MODA Chielf Visionary Officer and DJ Val Kolton put it, “Rome wasn’t built in a day, and similarly it took almost half a decade to fuse the durability of an M1 Abrams tank, timeless Vinyl sound, Italian-suit elegance, and exotic motorsport materials into the compact Crossfade M-80. In the sound-age of over-processed digital compression and disposable plastic products, our virtues were to develop a quality product that salutes the true masters of music, machines and materials. It’s an incredible value for hi-fi sound and sophisticated style that says as much about you as your shoes, watch or car.” 

Custom Shields
V-MODA believes in the ability to be unique and remix your headphone. You can now get your own set of interchangeable crossfade M-80 custom metal shields and choose from a selection of colors.



Military-Level Durability
Military MIL-STD-810G and V-MODA's even tougher VMQA guidelines validate V-MODA's heavy duty testing. The Crossfade series is deployed in real-life military scenarios, as V-MODA is co-founded by active and former military personnel.

MIL-STD-810G and V-MODA Quality Tests
  • Cable/Plug Bend: Kevlar reinforced detachable cables and 45-degree plug strain relief can each bend over 1 Million times, over 100x industry standards
  • Concrete Drop: Survives 70+ drops on concrete from 6 feet, approximately 3x the industry standard (major functions operational)
  • Headband bend: Bend 10+ times flat, not break and retain its memory and shape (view)
  • Sound Variance: Virtually inaudible sound variances across the spectrum of less than 2dB from unit to unit versus 10-30dB+ of inferior products
  • MIL-STD-810G environmental: high and low temperatures, humidity, salt spray and UV exposure
Fit is the Sound
Relentless research over the course of 4 years in ergonomics was spent to perfect one of the most challenging acoustic devices, the on-ear or “supra-aural" headphone. To make supernatural sound required supernatural ergonomics, as the fit can alter the sound up to 50dB with on-ear headphones. Additionally, most on-ear headphones are so uncomfortable they can only be worn for a few minutes, which is unsuitable for watching your favorite shows or jamming to your favorite mix in our modern mobile lifestyle.

The M-80's tailored fit is balanced enough to create a natural sound with a proper on-ear seal, and ensures there's never too much pressure on any part of the head at any time, so you can rock on deep into the night.


TrueHertz
Did you know that not all headphone drivers are created equally? Without rigorous quality testing, many headphones have variances from unit to unit of up to 30dB, even on the left to right channels. But V-MODA's strict driver testing program guarantees consistent quality and critically-acclaimed sound in every single pair of M-80 headphones, every time.

When it comes to the frequency response curve, the traditional old-school specifications people judge headphones by, such as 5Hz-30kHz does not paint a full picture. It’s akin to only considering a statue by its height versus its finer details in the sculpted curves and artistic expression. V-MODA sculpts the sound at every step along the entire frequency response range by utilizing a 31-band EQ, lab and subjective testing during the tuning stages.

M-80 Sound Curve
*Frequency Response Curve of M-80 vs other top-selling on-ear headphones, as verified by independent lab technicians.

Balancing Music's Weakest Link
The experience of sound is only as strong as the weakest link. Today, that's too often terrible compression in the digital source material as much as the ergonomics and inconsistent quality of the headphone's frequency response curve. Additionally, songs are mastered and mixed differently because of the same sound chain, even on the same album. Therefore, V-MODA's tuning methodology is balanced and utilitarian, with an organic and clear sound stage with no distortion that doesn't rely on additional sound processing, batteries or crossovers. The result is the greatest sound for the greatest amount of people.

Guaranteed Satisfaction
V-MODA's commitment to quality stays with you as each M-80 purchased from V-MODA.com or any of our Verified Dealers is backed by an unrivaled 2-Year V-MODA Premier Warranty. And in the unlikely event you run over your headphones with a tank, don't worry. With the V-MODA Immortal Life Program, you get a 50% off replacement in any disaster.

The 3-Button remote microphone cable is designed for the latest Apple devices, including iPhone®,iPad®, iPod®, and Macbook series. The 1-Button microphone cable works perfectly on Android®, Windows 7, BlackberryTM, tablets, notebook, MP3 and audio devices.
