Looks fantastic, Build quality is superb, Warm, pleasing and comfortable sonic signature, Tonally balanced; suitable for all genres, Smart folding mechanism
Fit isn't too secure; sound isolation and quality are affected, Lack a bit of excitement and bite in the bass response, Expensive
The V-Moda XS has a lot going for it. It's a beautiful pair of headphones, with the same confidence-inspiring build quality and design that we fell in love with on the V-Moda Crossfade M-100. The sound isn't quite as exciting as we've come to expect from...

Design won't appeal to everyone
If you're looking for a $150-$250 on-ear headphone, the well-built V-Moda XS should be on your short list....
