v-moda XS is a $200 on ear headphone that's both comfortable to wear and sounds quite good it comes in the black you see here as well as a white model and the face plates on the ear cups are removable and can be customized hi I'm David Carr Noi and v-moda has spent a lot of time trying to perfect the successor to his popular crossfade and maytee headphone at first glance the two models look a lot alike but there are a few key differences for starters the XS has a hinged headband that allows you to fold it up like the company's larger over the year M 100 thanks to the news design these headphones fit into a significantly smaller carrying case is nicely designed it comes with a carabiner so you can clip it on to your backpack if you want the other big change is to the headband itself it's it's more closely against your head particularly in the temple region most on ear and over the era headphones have a gap there but Vee Mota's co-founder Val Colton has made it a mission and perhaps even an obsession to close that gap the end result is a more comfortable headphone and one that v-moda thinks will also appeal to women due to the more form-fitting design well the XS may look like a clone of the old ma T the v-moda sound has evolved the excesses sound is more neutral and natural and takes the edge off harsh sounding recordings at the same time resolution of fine detail is still quite good in short the XS maintains just enough of V Mona's weightier bass sound signature to keep the company's fans satisfied but the XS will appeal to more audio files than the older model it doesn't offer quite the refinement of the more expensive bear dynamic t51p but it's still an excellent headphone that's early built and well designed especially for an on-ear model I'm David Carr noise and that's the v-moda XS thanks for watching
