. The V-Moda headphones can also be fully customized with their Shield kits that attach to the outside of the earcups to express your individual style. They start at $25 and can reach into the thousands depending on the precious material you decide to use. For our V-Moda M-100's we decided to go with the Metal Gold Shields which perfectly match the Gold Mixer and Turntable setup that we customized using 12inchskinz.com earlier this year.

The V-MODA one-the-ear and over-the-ear headphones can be customized by ordering a new set of metal shields (faceplates) for the outside of the earcups to express your individual style. These new shields can be ordered for the V-80/M-80, the Crossfade LP2, and the newly announced Crossfade M-100's. For a limited time, users who pre-order the new M-100's before they are released in December can get a custom set of shields for only $10. Existing V-Moda headphone users can get custom shields for $25. Watch my custom shield M-100 installation video after the jump.

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.

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!

If you've been following this DJ blog for a while, then you would already know that my absolute favorite DJ headphones are the V-MODA M-100. These headphones have great looks, impressive sound, excellent fit, and durability. You also have the option to remove the shields on the outside of the earcups and design them via graphics and colors exactly as you wish. V-MODA now takes this design concept a serious step forward by allowing these shields to be 3D printed with even more design options and on a huge selection of materials from steel to platinum.

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.

V-MODA's newest set of professional/consumer headphones has now arrived at the DJbooth.net lab for the full out video & written review treatment. The new V-MODA XS on-ear headphones sport a very sleek and slender design which also folds into a very compact package for easy transport and storage thanks to the all-metal Cliqfold hinges also found on the popular V-MODA M-100's.

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.

My favorite DJ headphones of all time just keep getting better and better. V-Moda has unveiled the new BoomPro Hi-Fi detachable professional microphone, the new CoilPro Performance DJ cable that extends the reach of the headphones up to 12 feet, and new XL Memory Cushion earpads for even more comfort and better sound isolation. These accessories are now available at V-Moda or at Amazon and they make perfect companions for the V-Moda M-100 headphones that we recently reviewed or for many other compatible DJ headphones. We have all three accessories in the Lab and we have a cool new product feature video to breakdown every accessory in-depth.
