After receiving a pair of V-MODA's Crossfade Wireless II Codex headphones, we put them through the paces to see how they compare to the other V-MODA Bluetooth headphones.

These new headphones have the same build quality as the original Wireless II, with the addition of new hi-res audio codecs such as aptX, AAC, and SBC to make them sound even better than ever when using them in wireless Bluetooth mode.

V-MODA has just announced their newest headphone called the V-MODA CROSSFADE II Wireless. These new headphones are the second iteration of their first over-the-ear Bluetooth headphones which we reviewed and found to be great for DJ and everyday use. The new V-MODA CROSSFADE II headphones adds the Cliqfold hinge to fold them down into a smaller footprint for transport/storage, new hi-res drivers, a slightly larger battery for longer use times, and larger-Deeper cushions for enhanced isolation. Check out the press release and our unboxing video as we work on this review to be released tomorrow!

The new V-MODA Crossfade Wireless is the company's first cordless headphones that sport the same over-the-ear 50mm drivers and overall construction as my favorite DJ headphones, the M-100's. The Crossfade Wireless headphones are rechargeable via USB, can use the same accessories and shields as the M-100's, and they even have almost the same sound signature when running in wireless mode and cable mode. Check out our unboxing & first impressions video to see all that comes in the package.

Just last week, V-MODA announced their newest headphones called the Crossfade Wireless. The new V-MODA Crossfade Wireless is the company's first cordless headphones that sport the same over-the-ear 50mm drivers and overall construction as my favorite DJ headphones, the Crossfade M-100's. The Crossfade Wireless headphones are rechargeable via USB, can use the same accessories and shields as the M-100's, and they even have almost the same exact sound signature when running in wireless mode and cable mode.

Earlier in the year, we brought you the V-Moda V-80 Trueblood (on-the-ear) DJ headphones full video review and now we are ready to test out their new Limited Edition Crossfade LP2 Matte Black Metal (over-the-ear) DJ Headphones in a full HD-Video review as well. We should have the review completed within the next week but check out this unboxing and first impressions video in the meantime to see what comes in the packaging with the purchase. These All-metal headphones have great durability and excellent styling to boot. If the V-Moda LE LP2's perform anything like it's smaller V-80 sibling, then these should be a serious contender in the $200 DJ headphone market. Video after the jump.

Back in the summer, we brought you the full video review of the V-Moda V-80 on-the-ear headphones which were extremely durable and offered great sound. Now V-Moda is offering the Crossfade LP2 in a limited edition Matte Black Metal version which is essentially, the over-the-ear versions of the V-80's. They offer interchangeable side shields which can be customized to make your headphones stand out from the others. These LP2's are the same popular DJ headphones as the original Crossfade LP's but with a list of upgrades. Check the full press release inside for more information.

The newest V-MODA over the ear headphones are being announced/released this week and we've already got our hands on a set (or two) for a complete and full out HD-Video review which will be completed shortly. The newest headphones in the V-MODA lineup are the Crossfade M-100 Pro DJ Headphones that share some similarities with the popular Crossfade LP2's but also add some cool new features that DJ's are sure to love. The most obvious upgrade that DJ's will enjoy is the new folding metal hinges found on the Crossfade M-100's that will allow DJ's to fold and collapse them into a smaller form factor for transport and storage. There's a few more updates that we'll go over in the full review to be released shortly. Check out the unboxing video inside to see a quick-look at a fresh set of Crossfade M-100 headphones.
