The V-Moda Crossfade LP2 has been tested to be beyond military level quality, and you can feel it in the quality parts on the body itself, as well as the Kevlar reinforced cable and molded hard case included. The dealbreaker: Built like a tank from head to toe. The bad: Ear cups have a limited range of motion that you might have to adjust to depending on how you wear your headphones while DJing. Subtle branding and interchangeable parts give you room to customize an already sleek design. Great isolation and boosted bass frequencies optimal for use as DJ monitors. The good: Robust construction and sound quality that places itself at the top of its price range. In the box: V-Moda Headphones, Gunmetal shield kit, Exoskeleton hard case, Kevlar mic cable, Kevlar extended cable, cleaning cloth, 1/4" adapter The Crossfade LP2 is the brand's crowd-pleasing model-praised and charted on the heads of a wide range of celebrities from stars like Sasha Grey and Laker's shooting guard Kobe Bryant, who appreciate the appeal of custom aesthetics, to recording artist's like Paul Oakenfold, Deadmau5, and Switch, who rely on having to hear the best in audiophile sound because it affects them on the job and out. Then go for the Sennheiser's if it's about premium sound, but try not to cringe at the dull and lifeless looks. It seems like putting all of your chips on one brand means losing an arm on what others have to offer, and the V-Moda line is trying to put an end to that. A pair of Beats By Dre look great, but many overlook what's under the hood-meager plastic and sound at an inflated price. The headphone market is flooded with models that can't fill the list.
Of course you can't expect the fashion-minded to know what makes a good pair of cans, but you can at least point them in the right direction with a pair that hits all the check marks in build, sound, and style. It wasn't just the dated glossy white appearance that was painful to watch, but the fact that after carefully selecting the most exceptional, top of the line pieces, she opted for the absolute bottom of audiophile design and sound. What started as an idea for yet another clothing line based out of LA, V-Moda became a headphone brand when inventor Val Kolton was out sketching designs at a cafe, and noticed that the Achilles heel of a lady passing by dressed in haute couture was the cheap plastic of her iPod headphones.
