"I do not want a Honda Civic," my friend explained to me. "Everyone has one." Being a former owner of a Honda Civic, "everyone has one" was precisely the reason why I got one. It is popular because it is a great car, otherwise if I wanted to avoid being too mainstream, God forbid, I would end up with a Mitsubishi Lancer. The Honda Civic has always been the poster child for a great balance between affordability, reliability, and driving engagement; this is not to mention the sheer number of it running on the streets mean parts are incredibly easy to find. Leave it stock and put on a regular license plate, and you can probably get away with parking at a mall near university to go to class, because no one will recognize your car... not that I have done that before. Of course, owning a great car everyone has does not mean we have to resort to ubiquity, and I am not talking about ricing it up with a fart can and a big spoiler at the back. I think the concept of owning a great product, without making outlandish modifications just to be different, is something we can all appreciate, and V-MODA understands that. The Crossfade M-100, along with the XS, has gained almost unanimous praise in audiophile world in the past few years; being both good looking and good sounding all at the same time. However, the company recently took it a step further, and they now allow you to order custom designs to give it a personal touch. Configurable with 3D printed shields available in fiber, aluminum, stainless steel, and precious metals using standard gallery designs or even your custom image (Spoiler: V-MODA actually 3D printed our website logo onto our Crossfade M-100 shield), will these headphones approach a new level of perfection in both acoustics and aesthetics?
