V-Moda Crossfades

V-Moda have done it again!

V-Moda, as you may have read in my previous post on their Remix earphones, must be THE most fashionable ear/ headphones on the market. The in ear phones are good, but the V-Moda Crossfade headphones are in a league of their own.

They look expensive, feel luxurious and sound amazing! Most headphones feel big and bulky, but I actually feel quite funky wearing these. They are a great size and as with other V-Moda products, a lot of thought has gone into them.

V-Moda Crossfades - The must have this Xmas

As well as looking the part, they also act the part. Sound quality is of a high level and they’re incredibly durable and ‘built to last’. They come in an exoskeleton case for extra protection when you’re on the move.

From their website to their products, V-Moda ooze quality and style. As you might expect, there is a moderatley high price tag, but you are paying for quality and with Carphone Warehouses special offer, you can pick up these beauties at £189.99. For music buffs, I think this is a bargain not to mention a VERY awesome Chrismas present! Flawless!!! Top marks :)

AKG K480NC noise cancelling, folding headphones

AKG K480NC

I have to admit, I’ve never really understood why people spend so much money on headphones…. I have always limited my spend to about approx. £25, give or take a tenner. However on being sent these AKG headphones to review, I have certainly changed my mind on the matter.

They came in their folded form with a hard carrying case presented in a slick black box, making them look pretty special. The assembly was straight-forward, as you would expect, and it’s a case of plug and go.

From the moment you pop them on your ears, it’s an amenable experience. The ear-cups are an incredibly comfortable fit and the band is also padded around the top area for extra comfort.

Sound quality is fantastic and with the active noise-cancelling feature they are perfect for commuting and air travel. They’re also iPhone compatible. The headphones have been beautifully designed and are perfect for their purpose.

The AKG K480NS’s have made me enjoy my music again and I would recommend them to anyone. They generally retail around the £100 mark, give or take £20.
