A refined edition of the original legendary Crossfade LP , LP2 brings modern music enthusiasts high-fidelity sound, virtually indestructible quality, luxurious ergonomic comfort and a limited edition matte black finish. "The original LP has quickly become the #1 lifestyle DJ headphones from the street to the stage," says Val Kolton, V-MODA CEO and DJ. "LP2 empowers modern music enthusiasts with military grade durability, timeless materials, and a life-like V-PORT soundstage."
MasterCrafted Professional Quality
The Crossfade series is tuned and trusted by a legion of legendary musicians, Grammy-Award winning producers and DJs. Crossfade LP2 packs unique materials, professional acoustics, natural noise isolation, ultimate ergonomics and military-level ruggedness into a minimal fashion forward design. Crafted from lightweight metals and featuring V-MODA's unique metal "V" design, the Crossfade LP2 is a sophisticated tank that stands out in a carbon-copy crowd. Refusing to conform to the sound-age of over-processed digital compression and disposable products, LP2 is a salute to the true masters of music, machines and materials.
PureSound
The nucleus of LP2 is its patent-pending and biggest-in-class 50mm Dual-Diaphragm Drivers that deliver multi-driver sound with the energy efficiency and consistentcy of a single driver. To recreate a pure balanced sound, LP2 uses no batteries or artificial sound processing and is power efficient enough to rock even with the built-in amplifier of mobile devices.
BLISS Noise Isolation, No Leakage
Supple BLISS memory foam ear cushions naturally isolate noise and immerse you into your own world of sound without bothering others around you. The specially tuned V-PORT V3 and memory cushions create a true 3D live sound stage by regulating air in and out of the ports with minimal leakage for tranquility . It's the perfect balance of isolation, staging and ergonomics that makes LP2 the essential companion for long play sessions on smartphones, notebooks, tablets and mixers.
MaterialEdge
LP2's first-class materials are virtually indestructible including a steel frame, STEELFLEX headband, interchangeable brushed metal shields, durable microfiber suede and replaceable memory foam cushions. The LP2 also comes fully loaded with two Kevlar-reinforced microphone cables for universal smartphone compatibility and an exoskeleton carry case for added road warrior armor.
"Rome wasn't built in a day, and similarly it took almost half a decade to fuse the durability of an M1 Abrams tank, timeless Vinyl sound, Italian-suit elegance, and exotic motorsport materials into the Crossfade series." says Val Kolton, V-MODA CEO and DJ. "In the sound-age of over-processed digital compression and disposable plastic products, our virtues were to develop a quality product that salutes the true masters of music, machines and materials. It's an incredible value for live sound and sophisticated style that says as much about you as your shoes, watch or car."
Military-Level Durability
Military MIL-STD-810G and V-MODA's even tougher VMQA guidelines validate V-MODA's heavy duty testing. The Crossfade series is deployed in real-life military scenarios, as V-MODA is co-founded by active and former military personnel.
MIL-STD-810G and V-MODA Quality Tests
- Headband bend: Bend 10+ times flat, not break and retain its memory and shape (view)
- Cable/Plug bend: Kevlar reinforced detachable cables and 45-degree plug strain relief can each bend over 1 million times, over 100x industry standards
- Concrete drop: Survives 70+ drops on concrete from 6 feet, approximately 3x the industry standard (major functions operational
- Sound variance: Virtually inaudible sound variances across the spectrum of less than 2dB from unit to unit versus 10-30dB+ of inferior products
- MIL-STD-810G environmental: high and low temperatures, humidity, salt spray and UV exposure
Fit is The Sound
Relentless research over the course of 4 years in ergonomics was spent to perfect the ergonomics of the Crossfade Series. To make supernatural sound requires supernatural ergonomics, as the fit alters the sound greatly. Additionally, Crossfade LP2 is so comfortable it can be worn for hours, perfect for watching your favorite shows, jamming to your favorite mix or performing all night.
TrueHertz
Did you know that not all headphone drivers are created equally? Without rigorous quality testing, many headphones have variances from unit to unit of up to 30dB, even on the left to right channels. But V-MODA's strict driver testing program guarantees consistent quality and critically-acclaimed sound in every single pair of LP2 headphones, every time.
When it comes to the frequency response curve, the traditional old-school specifications people judge headphones by, such as 5Hz-30kHz does not paint a full picture. It's akin to only considering a statue by its height versus its finer details in the sculpted curves and artistic expression. V-MODA sculpts the sound at every step along the entire frequency response range by utilizing a 31-band EQ with artists across the globe as well as subjective blind-test focus groups during the tuning stages.
Balancing Music's Weakest Link
The experience of sound is only as strong as the weakest link. Today, that's too often terrible compression in the digital source material as much as the ergonomics and inconsistent quality of the headphone's frequency response curve. Additionally, songs are mastered and mixed differently because of the same sound chain, even on the same album. Therefore, V-MODA's tuning methodology is balanced and utilitarian, with an organic and clear sound stage that doesn't rely on additional sound processing, batteries or crossovers: the result is the greatest sound for the greatest amount of people.
Universal Compatibility and Microphone Communication
LP2 comes with 2 cables for universal compatibility with all modern mobile and audio devices. The 3-Button remote microphone cable is designed for the latest Apple devices, including iPhone, iPad, iPod, and Macbook series. The long audio-only cable and 1/4" adapter is universally compatible with all audio devices and professional equipment. Also, the microphone works great for gaming and is fully Skype compatible on smart phones, tablets and the latest generation Apple products without the need for an adapter.
