  I just received mine and have a minor cosmetic issue on the right side, the material on the top side of the headband at the end where the band becomes a v shape, each corner at that point has a slight bubble where its not been pulled tight correctly.
 
Its only small so debating whether to return them to amazon or not, unfortunately I'm a bit of a perfectionist so these little things kind of annoy me

Anyone else had this?


If the blemish annoys you I'd recommend returning them for replacement. You paid for a brand new and presumably flawless product after all.

Yeah I was just trying to gauge if it was a common problem, pointless returning an item if the odds of getting a new pair with the same problem is high, been down that road before.
 
There's a couple of pictures in this thread with the same issue, although mines more obvious than those.

If there are any complaints on a minor blemish where the vegan leather attaches, our six star service will replace them immediately... That shouldn't happen but each unit is unique and that is a very tough part to control, sometimes you can twist the leather and it will fix itself. Also, with wear it will flex out (or you can slightly bend outwards). As always we will back you up for life with our warranty of course and always will do whatever will make you happy and a customer for life.  

Cheers,
 
Val

Is this what you mean? Doesn't bother me so much. I figure since the headband is meant to flex, the leather wrap won't be 100% tight. The volume level resetting itself each time you turn it on is another story.

Yeah that's more like mine.
 
If there was a tablet I could take to stop me being a perfectionist I would take it, its not a good trait to have

That's what both of my pairs look like too...so clearly it's meant to be that way to allow the headband to flex properly.  That was my take anyway.

Via Skype, I was so happy to see my dad open up his Christmas present I ordered for him: the V-Moda Crossfade Wireless!
 
(It was Christmas Eve evening in the U.S., and Christmas morning here in China when we Skyped.)
 
I asked him what screen name he wanted to use on Head-Fi, and he said, "Mrbutts," which was the name of our old family cat we used to have years ago.
 
So, I set him up with a user account on here with that name and subscribed him to this thread. Maybe he'll post his impressions of his awesome new CFW headphones here once he starts using them.
 
I told him he can brag to everyone about how he has headphones that are slightly better than mine (I have M-100s). But, there's a catch: my overall portable headphone system will totally blow his system out of the water!  hahahaha

Oh well,...Merry Christmas, Happy Solstice, or whatever it is you celebrate in your neck of the skyscrapers.

So Santa delivered my "rouge" CFW today. Very good of him :D

Charged. XL pads added. Easily paired with iPad and iPhone.

Delighted already. Bluetooth pairing worked flawlessly. Sound great. Comfortable. Usual V-MODA quality.

I look forward to getting lots of use out of them. Thanks Santa.

hi, just want to asked so in terms on Sound Quality
which one is better the CFW or M100 ?
i mean how much differences should i expect ?
now my personal set up for listening is the
M100 using it with my iphone 4s + Go-DAP unit 4.0 (a V-moda VAMP like amp for the iphone)  when im at home.
M100 using it with my iphone 6s plus when im travelling.
so i'm really interested in this wireless headphone craze, 
and wondering how will it compare to my set up above
if im using the CFW + iphone 6s plus in wireless mode ?
if the differences is subtle then im in !

Here's an idea for a TV commercial for the Crossfade Wireless. Maybe if V-Moda has an extra $5 million to spend, this could be a big Super Bowl ad.
 
 
----------------------
A guy stands next to an open window in his high-rise apartment with a desktop headphone amp next to it. He says, "Ahh, a 5,000-meter-long headphone cable!" as he tosses one end of the cable out the window. This cable takes up practically the entire three-dimensional space of his whole apartment.
 
Next, he appears on the street outside his apartment building, fetching that end of the cable and plugging it into his headphones, which look similar to the Sennheiser HD 800. He says, "I can finally take my cool sound out on the town!"
 
He walks around the big, crowded, bustling city with his 5,000-meter-long headphone cable dragging behind him. He walks through crowded sidewalks, busy streets, shopping malls, elevators and escalators, subways, monorails, buses, bridges, and takes a cable car across the river...with the 5,000-meter-long headphone cable trailing behind him, plugged into his desktop headphone amp at home.
 
People trip over his cable, cars try to dodge it, the cable moves rapidly after the elevator and subway doors close behind him, shoppers wonder what the heck this fast-moving wire is running through their mall, and the cord stretches higher and higher in the air as he rides the cable car across the river.
 
Just as he steps out of the cable car after the ride, his headphone cord gets caught in the wheels of a truck (back on the near side of the river), causing his wire to snap, which makes the driver lose control and wreck, spawning a massive chain-reaction traffic pileup. The guy with the headphones notices his music suddenly quits playing and says, "Huh? What happened to my signal?"
 
At about the same time, a big barge on the river gets caught up in the cord, and the force violently yanks his headphones off his head. He turns around, only to see them splash into the river below and disappear.
 
As he stands there with a dumbfounded look on his face, a policeman walks up to him and angrily shouts, "What are you doing with that wire! Look at all the damage you've caused!"
 
Right at that moment, a stranger (a cool black guy) walks up to both of them and interrupts, "Hey, hey, hey! I've got just the solution for this!"
 
The stranger holds up a nice-looking pair of headphones and continues with his solution..., "The V-Moda Crossfade Wireless! Bluetooth,...award-winning sound, military-grade durability, and, uhh...(pointing at all the destruction in the distance),...no messy wires."
 
(The screen changes to a title screen showing the V-Moda logo and a detailed close-up shot of the Crossfade Wireless headphones, while a narrator announces with a formal-sounding voice, "The V-Moda Crossfade Wireless...available at V-Moda dot com and wherever V-Moda products are sold.")
 
The final few seconds of the commercial shows the final scene: the first guy walking past the car-wreck pileup. The old headphone cable can be seen wrapped around lampposts, hanging from rails, etc. He wears his brand-new Crossfade Wireless headphones while walking past the carnage -- as he puts his Bluetoothed music player in his pocket, softly shuffling his arms and saying, "Ahh,...freedom!"
