FAQ:

Q: Why is there such a huge price difference between the "1 Button Mic" versions (~$90) and the "3 Button Mic" versions (~$190)?
A: This price difference is due to stock issues. The 1 button version is more popular than the 3 button version, so Amazon probably overstocked before the updated version (v-moda XS) came out. Amazon is now trying to sell off the older version at a discounted price.

Q: Will this work with PS4 for voice and sound?
A: Yes, this headphone will work with PS4 for voice and sound. You can plug the headphone into the controller, and if you're using the basic included mic (whether the 1-button or 3-button), it should work with no issues. However, it is recommended to invest in the BoomPro mic attachment for better voice quality and volume control.

Q: Are these good with all types of music?
A: These headphones are particularly good for electronic music, but they also work well with other genres such as classic rock, classical, and metal.

Q: Is this compatible with Galaxy s5 phone?
A: Yes, this headphone is compatible with Galaxy s5 phone, as long as your phone has a 3.5mm jack which is standard.

Q: Are there replacement ear pads for M-80 that are made of more breathable cloth-like material?
A: V-Moda sells "memory cushions" for the M-80, but they do not appear to be made of the cloth-like material requested.

Q: Does the iPhone cord come with the headphone?
A: The cord is a small headphone jack that works with iPod and iPhone.

Q: What model is this "M-80 Vocal" as I can't find the "vocal" version anywhere on V-moda's website?
A: The difference between M-80 and M-80 Vocal is that M-80 has the i-rocker (volume up, down for iOS devices) while the Vocal M-80 has only the 1-button/mic configuration (great for android devices and Blackberry).

Q: Can you use these headphones for listening to your TV?
A: Yes, you can use these headphones for listening to your TV, as long as your TV has a 3.5mm jack. If it has a quarter inch jack, you would need an adapter.

Q: Will these work with Cisco "soft phone" on the computer?
A: The M-80 comes with an auxiliary cable with a single 3.5mm jack, so if all you are doing is listening and not using the mic, then yes it will work. If you need to use the mic, then no, you will need a splitter.

Q: What is your opinion on the V-MODA Crossfade M-80 On-Ear Noise-Isolating Metal Headphone (Shadow)?
A: As a product expert, I highly recommend the V-MODA Crossfade M-80 On-Ear Noise-Isolating Metal Headphone (Shadow) for its high-quality sound, durable construction, and noise isolation feature. It is particularly suitable for electronic music lovers but also works well with other genres. The detachable cable and included hard case make it easy to transport. Overall, this headphone offers excellent value for its price.
