Roland-owned V-MODA just dropped two new additions to its long-standing DJ headphone lineup: the M-100 PRO and the M-10. The M-100 PRO takes over as the new flagship for working DJs who need rugged gear that can handle the booth, the tour case, and the occasional stage dive. The M-10, meanwhile, steps in as the more affordable option—built for up-and-coming DJs, bedroom beatmakers, and anyone still hustling for gigs without compromising on sound. Same V-MODA DNA, just fewer chrome accents and a slightly friendlier price tag.
M-100 PRO Headphones: V-MODA’s New Flagship for Professional DJs

Since its 2012 debut in clubs and studios worldwide, the M-100 series has become a staple for DJs—and the M-100 PRO raises the bar even higher. Drawing on community feedback, V-MODA fine-tuned the signature sound, improving clarity, comfort, and ruggedness to meet the demands of pro performers.
Closed-Back Design
The M-100 PRO’s closed-back architecture, combined with plush memory-foam ear pads, delivers a punchy, expansive soundstage and superior isolation—essential for cutting through club PA and festival-level SPLs.
Drivers
Equipped with 50 mm ceramic-coated drivers and tuned bass ducts, the M-100 PRO reproduces kick drums, hi-hats, and low-end grooves with precision and impact.


Swivel Ear Cups and Detachable Cables
Swivel ear cups allow seamless switching between full-stereo monitoring and one-ear cueing, while included detachable cables—a 3 m coiled and a 1.5 m straight—adapt to any DJ rig or workflow.
Metal Frame and Foldable Design
Built on V-MODA’s signature metal frame and shields, the M-100 PRO is engineered for rock-solid durability. The foldable design and included carry pouch pack down small, and replaceable ear cups keep your gear road-ready.
M-10 Headphones: V-MODA’s Compact DJ Option for New Performers and Everyday Use

The M-10 carries the signature V-MODA look and sound that’s made the brand a DJ favorite for over a decade. Replacing the long-running Crossfade LP2, the M-10 is beat-tuned to deliver deep, punchy bass and crisp high-end detail—ideal for developing DJ skills or throwing down live sets.
Closed-Back, Over-Ear Design
Like the M-100 PRO, the M-10 features a closed-back, over-ear configuration for effective isolation in loud environments. Large ear cups with memory foam cushions ensure long-session comfort, whether you’re in the studio or on stage.
Durable Build
The M-10 is built to take a beating, with a rugged construction made to last through years of gigs, practice sessions, and daily wear.
Detachable Cables and Accessories
It includes both a 3 m coiled and 1.5 m straight cable to fit different setups, plus a carrying pouch for easy transport—keeping things simple and gig-ready.

The Bottom Line
Not all headphones are built for every scenario—and that’s especially true in the DJ world. The V-MODA M-100 PRO and M-10 strike a solid balance between price, performance, and durability, making them well-suited for club use, home studios, and even podcasting. While they go up against tough competition from models like the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x, Pioneer HDJ series, and Sennheiser HD 25, V-MODA’s distinct sound signature and tank-like build give them a rightful place in the gig bag of any serious (or aspiring) DJ.
Availability & Pricing
Both headphones will be available for purchase at select retailers in mid Q3 2025.
