V-Moda’s Crossfade M-100 backs up its 50mm drivers with a tank-like build, armed with a steel frame, interchangeable hexagonal metal shields, a Steelflex indestructible headband and kevlar reinforced cables. They even meet military standard MIL-STD-810G, though you wouldn’t know it once they’re on your head thanks to memory foam cushions.
