How much do they differ pair to pair in terms of frequency response?
This also means that the calibration accuracy will not be as great as with other headphones in the same price category – Aiaiai TMA-2 HD or Focal Listen Professional. Due to differing levels of seal, the bass response between listeners will vary more than for some rivals and the high-mids and highs too will fluctuate at least +/-3dB in different frequency ranges. The ability to deliver the same perceived acoustic frequency response to a wide range of listeners, the headphone property that we call adaptiveness, is not where M-200s excel. How accurate and consistent is the correction effect among different listeners? The output remains clean even when pushing 90dB SPL, so great performance from V-Moda here. THD performance is one aspect where the M-200s shine. Observations on how headphones perform after applying Sonarworks Reference calibration Total Harmonic Distortion Since V-Moda is selling them as studio headphones, it would’ve been more convenient for users if the cable without the mic came with a threaded 6.3 mm adapter. Nevertheless, there isn’t much to complain about regarding the build, apart from the included cable situation being suboptimal. Overall the build feels quite solid and good, but maybe not worth €350. The same can’t be said for most rival headphones.Īnother uncommon and neat feature is the option to choose which ear cup to connect the cable to. The coolest feature though must be the super easily detachable magnetic ear pads, so switching out a worn set for a new one can be done in a few seconds. In the M-200 box, you’ll find a compact semi-hard case, 3.5 mm to 6.3 mm adapter and two cables, a 1.3 m long one with mic and a 1.2 m one without – both terminated with a 3.5 mm jack. Ear pads and headband are covered in soft (yet, according to V-Moda, durable) PU leather that feels great to touch. Most of the parts used in M-200 are plastic with the exception being the hinged metal yokes, which allow them to fold for easier transportation.
