Milano – V-MODA, the award-winning maker of the world’s finest high-fidelity portable audio devices, unveils Crossfade Wireless Over-Ear headphones which offer the “Best of both worlds” with both wired and wireless modes for hybrid listening.
V-MODA’s acoustics development team sought to improve V-MODA’s renowned signature sound for virtually identical analog and wireless playback. The Crossfade Wireless went through years of precise engineering to design and tune wireless electronics while keeping the iconic V-MODA materials and shapes.
The patent pending dual-diaphragm 50mm driver is a refined version of the award-winning Crossfade M-100 that was crowdsourced by hundreds of headphone audiophiles and won 15+ editors’ choice awards. Its speaker consistency is unrivaled and has been “hand-tuned” to complement the human hearing limit variance (+/- 2dB).
Special skills were used to ensure the air flow mechanics and acoustic tuning materials were perfectly balanced. Additionally, it does not use a powered EQ staying true to the pure audio experience and avoiding unacceptable latency issues for videos, gaming and DJs. . The final result is a refined and improved Crossfade M-100 sound in both wired and wireless modes.
“As an avid analog purist, for years I said I would not make a wireless headphone. So instead, we decided to make our best over-ear wired headphone, yet featuring the best wireless mode,” says Val Kolton, CEO of V-MODA. “After years of R&D, we can proudly say that Crossfade Wireless is versatile enough to be the everyday audio weapon of choice for music professionals, audiophiles, gamers and smart consumers alike.”
Unrivaled Sound, Wireless Freedom
Uncompromised quality means staying true to the Crossfade’s award-winning signature sound whether rocking out plugged in or cord-free. Simply pair your Crossfade Wireless to your Bluetooth device and enjoy your headphones up to 33 feet (10 meters).
The all new Crossfade Wireless can also be paired with two sources at the same time. From work to workout, effortlessly pair it to two devices such as your laptop or smartphone.
The antenna was specially tuned to work with smartwatches’ built-in Bluetooth music players. V-MODA’s CEO rigorously tested and tuned the antenna for smartwatch Bluetooth performance by running over 1000 kilometers using nearly every Apple and Android watch on the market.
A codec that would make Da Vinci proud
The audio codec determines how audio is sent to wireless headphones and is crucial for both delivering the best hi-fi audio and compatibility with a range of mobile devices and music files. The CSR BlueCore chipset utilized is the perfect balance of unequalized hi-fi sound and power consumption.
To wire or not to wire?
The Crossfade Wireless gives you access to the best of both worlds: wireless for a liberating listening experience and cabled when you run out of juice or want to simply enjoy pure analog mode with your own headphone amplifier or DAC; either way you will experience the Crossfade’s unrivaled sound.
Unlike other wireless headphones, plugging a cable plug into the Crossfade Wireless jack instantly switches off all electronics to reach zero latency – essential for gamers, VR, musicians and DJs.
The built-in hidden microphone was specially tuned and optimized for phone calls and voice recognition. V-MODA also generously includes the rugged Kevlar-reinforced 1-Button SpeakEasy cable for wired use.
Material Edge
As with all of V-MODA’s headphones, durability and exquisite material selection was paramount in the design. The Crossfade Wireless maintains the luxurious combination of steel, metal materials and improved vegan leather that lives up to the military-level standards of the MIL-STD-810G testing guidelines.
Memory foam ear cushions precisely isolate noise and provide supple ergonomic comfort for extended listening sessions. The cushions and SteelFlex headband naturally form to your head and ears to create the perfect natural noise isolation, optimal bass and an immersive 3D soundstage.
Ultimate Versatility
The Crossfade Wireless is compatible with the expansive V-MODA accessory ecosystem that extends functionality to be the ultimate versatile headphones. The accessory collection includes the recently unveiled 3D printed shields, laser-engraved aluminum shields, BoomPro mic for gamers/broadcasters, XL cushions, CoilPro cable, 1/3-button cables, Vamp DAC/AMP and Faders VIP tuned earplugs.
Long Life Battery
The rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 12 hours of continuous music, entertainment and calls, unlimited hours in wired mode thanks to its analog tuning that uses no electronics or artificial processing. Recharge it effortlessly with the included elegant V-Micro USB cable.
