what's going on guys drivers consumer and today I've got a comparison video for you guys that you've been requesting so today I'm going to be comparing the new Beats Studio versus the v-moda m100 so let's not waste any time get right into it bah blah blah blah blah and alright guys here we have the new beat studios and here we have the v-moda crossfade m100 these are both really great headphones on they retail for $300 for the beats studios and 310 for the v-moda crossfades now it's only attend our different so it's not going to be a make or break so but the V motors are a little bit more expensive buy you know ten bucks but that aside let's talk about the design of these headphones now you can see that they're very different design I'm a fan of both of the designs I like the studio's because it's a pretty simple really nice new design from the line as I said in many of my other videos these are hybrid of like a couple of different beats products that are out there well the v-moda crossfades they just have a nice compact design while still looking very industrial I really do like the different arm designs that you can actually have on this you can actually take this plate off and put a different one on and change up the design have a different plate that says something you can customize this quite a bit so the crossfades have some really nice stuff going for it I am a fan of how compact it is it's got a real small footprint and when you have this on it doesn't look obnoxious it doesn't have like a really huge design so this fits quite well on the head and I really do like how simple it is it while still looking pretty cool I think so I think in the design department to each his own I really like both of them I can't even pick one over the other I'm a huge fan of Beats and their designs in general and I really do like the v-moda crossfade m100 so both of them have a really high rating in my opinion as far as the design goes so it's really up to you on what you think looks better now as far as comfort goes I definitely have to give this to the beat studios the beat studios are very very comfortable while the em1 hundreds are pretty comfortable but sometimes if you wear them for long periods of time I found that they can get a little tough to bear um after a while this does have some clamping pressure on the head after a while so um after long periods of time my ears start to hurt when I'm wearing these and I'm talking about a long period of time so I definitely have to give it four give it to the beat studios in that regard now the images aren't straight up uncomfortable these aren't like the beats mixr's or anything like that but similar to like the beats pros they're fine for a while but after some time it does clamp a little so it will be a little bit hard to bear after some time now as far as durability goes I definitely have to give this to the m1 hundreds the m1 hundreds are quite durable you can bend this in all kinds of ways do all kinds of stuff to it these are things I wouldn't even attempt with the beat studios this is really really nice so it's a very very durable pair of headphones and I just really love it it's um definitely a lot more durable than the studio's because the studio's do have a plastic design and whereas this may not crack easily or anything unless you like sit on it or like you stomp it something I don't know but regardless of the fact whatever you're going to do is whatever might happen to this I'm sure if you put this in the same situation it's not going to break the band because of the material that it's made out of so definitely in a durability Department 100% that definitely goes to the V motors now as far as features go the Beats Studio has active noise-cancelling which is a plus and a minus the fact that it has active noise-cancelling is nice because it's noise cancelling but it does affect the sound quality a bit of course some people who aren't familiar with noise cancelling headphones they kind of wonder what's that white noise in the back that I hear when I have these on well that's the active noise cancelling with the v-moda m100 you're not gonna get that and it still has some pretty good sound isolation so it's not really a downfall that this doesn't have noise cancelling and I do think that because of that the sound quality sounds just a bit better here but we'll go into sound quality in a second also the beat studios have a power on an off feature because of the active noise canceling this doesn't work without batteries so that's a big minus in that department compared to the V motors the v-moda stone Traverso you just plug them in and you're listening to music no matter what so I definitely think that's a huge huge bonus for the V motives now the studios because it has you know power it has a mute button on the side that you can mute your music if you want to listen to someone or you're talking to someone you want to you know put your music on mute for a second you can actually just do that here so that's a cool feature but these bullets have inline remotes where you can just kind of pause your music anyway so it doesn't really make that huge of a difference and like I said this has plates that it can change up so that's a nice feature that this has over the studio's arm as far as any other features that this has this does have a battery indicator well that's not really a make or break in this department because the V motors don't need a battery indicator to they don't have a battery now one thing I do like about the V mode is that the studio's don't have is the fact that it can daisy chain and daisy chain means you can put another pair of headphones into these headphones and listen to the same audio source so if you're listening to your iPod and then someone else wants to hear your music as well they can just plug their headphones right into this some empty headphone jack and then keep listening while you're listening so both of you can listen at the same time and what's really cool with the V motors is that it comes with a cable that you can actually daisy chain yet another um headphone so you can listen with three different headphones to one audio source at once potentially if you need to not sure what three people are going to be sitting looking around that one autumn one device that needs you know for audio but if you're on a bus or something or maybe you're on a car trip and you're sharing it with like your friends or whatever hey this could come in handy so this can daisy-chain up to three people this doesn't arm and really that's about it for the features um I really think that the durability should be counted as a feature since that's just amazing how adorable these are and one thing I didn't even know to notice about the design guys is how compact this thing can get um that's definitely a huge plus in the design department not the aesthetics as far as looks but the overall design and the functionality of these headphones the fact that it can get this small means that it's very very portable now the studios can fold up just like this and you know you can put them in their case and you know this is pretty portable as well don't get me wrong but it's not this this is tiny this is fitting in anything really this is really great I love that about the V motifs so definitely have to give it up to the V motifs they're in that regard now the next thing I want to touch on is the cases that they both come with this comes the B Studios come with an egg shell case well it's not that special of a case it's a hardshell case but that's about all there is to it you can fit the studio's inside but there's no pouches inside here so you can't store any accessories or if you do store accessories they're going to flap around inside but that is the case and it does a decent job of protecting it so there's no issues here hard shell cases are great now the same thing goes for the V motors this has a hardshell case but one thing about this because the V motors can get so small this thing can them really fit anywhere because it's so compact so this is a compact shell case in comparison to these studios you can see that it's quite a bit smaller so definitely a thumbs up here and also what's great about the V motives is that it's able to store your cables with these little straps that it has inside of here so you can get the cables to stick inside here with no problem and you won't have anything loose running around so that's really good too overall they will both protect the headphones just the way you expect them to so definitely a thumbs up for the V motor since it has the straps and the small compact size but they both do protect the headphones the way you need them to and now of course to talk about the sound quality now they both have great sound quality in my opinion but like I said I do have to give it up to the V motors because they don't have the active noise canceling and that kind of makes the sound quality sound even crisper than the studios so knowing no white noise in your music and when I listen to them they're both very bassy they both sound really great and clear but the active noise cancelling can be heard when comparing them directly on its own the active noise cancelling isn't so bad listening to it you really won't notice it unless you you pause your music or have it at really low volumes but still when comparing it to the v-moda is the v-moda sound a lot better now there are people out there who really say that the V motors are going to destroy the studios no matter what now don't get me wrong these do sound better there in most regards they do sound a bit better but not enough to say that these will trash the studios now I'm not an audiophile and I'm not going by audiophile standards something for the average consumer when you're comparing the two the probably the biggest noticeable difference you'll find is one that the active noise-cancelling isn't present in the V motors so it'll sound clearer and also the base on the V motors you can kind of feel it a bit more the cushions on the V motors are a bit harder than the studios they're not as soft so you can kind of feel the vibrations from the bass quite a bit more on the V motors and for the bass heads out there I know that's a really nice thing to feel when you really feel the bass thumping so there's a bit of a difference there in the sound quality as far as the bass goes you can feel the thump a lot more on the V motors than the beat studios and you get that nice crisp sound due to the noise noise cancelling so definitely a thumbs up now this is my first time really comparing active noise-cancelling to no active noise-cancelling and i gotta say guys it does make a pretty good difference and I really do like the fact that this doesn't have it so in the sound quality regards I do give it up to the V motors they just more my style they're very Chris they're a lot clearer and they have more thumping bass which I do like then the studios not to say the studio is lacking me but you just kind of feel it more with the V motors so if I had to choose between the two I would definitely go with the V motors it's more compact it's easier to walk around with it's a lot more durable the sound is better um overall I do think that the V motors are a better value than the studio's now if you're a beats fan then the studio's are definitely not a bad option at all I like them both very much so it's really up to you and personal preference my personal preference though is the V Motors I think that there are better overall value and they just have a lot more going for it as far as longevity and the sound quality and alright guys that's pretty much it for this comparison I do like the V motors more please don't kill me for saying that the V motors aren't leaps and bounds better than these studios as far as sound quality goes for the average consumer I did that I do want to note that it is better but not the way I see it in comments where people are like it's going to uh turn Eve destroy the beats to do this it's not that drastic it's really not but it is better but alright guys that's it till the next video is you have a consumer
