V-Moda reveals $500 premium ANC headphones to take on AirPods Max

Customizable V-Moda M-200 ANC

V-Moda is launching a new set of premium active noise-canceling headphones at CES 2021, the M-200, which offer adjustable ANC, an accompanying app, user-controllable EQ, and a customizable appearance

The V-Moda M-200 offer endless customization — both with the hardware itself as well as with the audio. Users are able to choose from six different aluminum shield faceplate colors for the exterior of the headphones which can then be engraved with your own initials, logo, or design.

The headphones have fully-customizable EQ including six presets and the ability to create your own. They've been equipped with ten levels of noise cancelation to control how much exterior noise makes it into your ears.

There are several "smart" features bestowed on these headphones including Voice In that will automatically lower the volume and pause ANC whenever the left earcup is covered.

Specs include custom 40mm drivers, Bluetooth 5, Qualcomm aptX HD support, 20 hours of playback, USB-C charging, 10 - 40,000Hz frequency response, and an included artificial PU leather case.

The V-Moda M200 headphones are available now from Amazon and other retailers for $499 as well as the non-ANC counterpart for $350.

It's finally happened. I've been waiting years for V-Moda to add ANC, smart features, and USB C charging to their headphones. The price is a little high but, if they're anything like their other headphones, they're built like tanks and V-Moda's eternal life warranty means you can always trade them in and get 50% off the next generation/update. These really do tick all the boxes. I'm a little hesitant that the driver size was decreased from 50mm to 40mm, hopefully that doesn't change the sound too much. I have enjoyed my M-100 headphones, I use them as office headphones now but they were my daily drivers for years starting back in 2011 when I first picked them up. They were replaced by my Bose QC35 headphones for convenience but I still use the M-100, with their boom mic, for Teams meetings and phone calls. I'll be able to get rid of both and go with these, assuming the reviews are positive.
