This time around, the company has doubled the battery life over the previous model, improved its Bluetooth audio codecs, and made subtle improvements to the sound signature.<\/p>\n<p>Do these headphones hold up to modern competition?

It\u2019s not that they\u2019re the same, it\u2019s just that V-Moda\u2019s headphones have a fairly unique look, and they haven\u2019t deviated far from that formula with these headphones.<\/p>\n<p>The Crossfade 3 ship with a hardshell carrying case, and it looks somewhat on the small side compared to the headphones. This is because of V-Moda\u2019s CliqFold hinge, which lets them fold down into a more compact than usual package.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve tested older V-Moda headphones and remembered them being comfortable despite the sturdy metal build. This was the case with the Crossfade 3, which were comfortable even after wearing them for hours. The slimmer-than-average fit also makes them easier to move around in without snagging the ear cups.<\/p>\n<p>The headphones come in any color you want, as long as it\u2019s black. Specifically, they come in Matte Black, Gunmetal Black, and Bronze Black. The metal \u201cshields\u201d on the side of the headphones are replaceable and customizable, with V-Moda offering custom shields for a price.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Connectivity_and_Wireless_Performance\"><\/span>Connectivity and Wireless Performance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-831082\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/v-moda-crossfade-3-wireless-in-hand.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"V-Moda Crossfade 3 Wireless handheld\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Kris Wouk \/ How-To Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"greybox_callout\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bluetooth version<\/strong>: 5.1<\/li>\n<li><strong>Audio codecs<\/strong>: AAC, aptX HD, SBC<\/li>\n<li><strong>Headphone jack<\/strong>: 3.5mm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>The V-Moda Crossfade 3 Wireless ship with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/403606\/bluetooth-5.1-whats-new-and-why-it-matters\/\">Bluetooth version 5.1. Generally, the Bluetooth version doesn\u2019t have much of an impact on sound. What does have an impact are the audio codecs that headphones use. The Crossfade 3 pair aptX HD and AAC, meaning that whether you use Android (aptX HD) or Apple (AAC) devices, you\u2019ll have great sound, with the standard SBC codec as a fallback.<\/p>\n<p>The headphones include an onboard microphone for calls and video chat. And in case you want to plug in, the Crossfade 3 ship with a cable that allows them to run in wired mode. This cable also includes a built-in microphone and volume control.<\/p>\n<p>Plugging in the cable turns off Bluetooth, as well as the built-in amplifier. This means that you don\u2019t need to use the internal battery, but the headphones will be dramatically quieter depending on what you\u2019re listening to.<\/p>\n<p>V-Moda says using the cable increases the frequency response from 5 Hz to 40 kHz, well beyond the highest frequencies the human ear can hear. This increased resolution does have its benefits in terms of audio headroom, and the Crossfade 3 Wireless are certified for hi-res audio from the Japan Audio Society.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Controls_and_App\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">Controls and App<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-831083\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/v-moda-crossfade-3-wireless-buttons.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Buttons on the V-Moda Crossfade 3 Wireless\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Kris Wouk \/ How-To Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The controls on the Crossfade 3 wireless are close to exactly what they were on the previous model, but they work well. You get a multifunction button for playback and calls, plus a pair of buttons to control the volume without reaching for your phone.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of the multifunction button pulling triple-duty, the Crossfade 3 have the same on\/off slider that the previous model did. I found this useful and wish more headphones would opt for a slider instead of a power button.<\/p>\n<p>There is a companion app available in the V-Moda Headphone Editor app (available for <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/v-moda-headphone-editor\/id1543309668?at=1010l392g&amp;ct=htg831074\">iPhone<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=jp.co.roland.vmoda.headphone.editor&amp;hl=en_US&amp;gl=US\">Android<\/a>). This is mainly what you\u2019ll use to update the onboard firmware, but it has a few other features as well, like adjustable EQ, including a custom mode.<\/p>\n<p>The app is meant for use with the Crossfade 3 and V-Moda\u2019s S-80 headphones, but it seems more essential for the S-80. Using the app with the Crossfade 3, you\u2019ll find noise-canceling features you can\u2019t access.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sound_Quality\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_3\">Sound Quality<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-831084\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/v-moda-crossfade-3-wireless-wearing.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Wearing the V-Moda Crossfade 3 Wireless\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Kris Wouk \/ How-To Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"greybox_callout\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Driver<\/strong>: 50mm dual diaphragm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Frequency range<\/strong>:\u00a05Hz \u2014 40,000Hz (wired)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>V-Moda headphones have a certain type of sound, similar to how other manufacturers have signature sounds. I\u2019ve tested other V-Moda headphones over the years and remember liking the sound quite a bit, and for multiple genres, despite V-Moda\u2019s emphasis on club music.<\/p>\n<p>That sound signature is still here with the Crossfade 3, but it\u2019s evolved, with more detail in the highs and a less pronounced low end. That said, there\u2019s still plenty of bass, and if you liked previous V-Moda headphones, you\u2019ll find something to like here as well.<\/p>\n<p>The overall sound signature is comparatively neutral compared to what you might think, given the club music advertising. There\u2019s a v-shape here, yes, but it\u2019s far more subtle than you may expect.<\/p>\n<p>Given V-Moda\u2019s focus on club music, I decided to take it in an old-school direction and started off listening to New Order\u2019s \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HoHx9O9ZXn0\">Fine Time<\/a>.\u201d Despite the song\u2019s age, the ever-present kick was well presented by the Crossfade 3\u2019s 50mm dual-diaphragm drivers.<\/p>\n<p>Listening to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard\u2019s \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JNNQZSLr3y8\">Oddlife<\/a>\u201d shows how impressive the Crossfade 3\u2019s sound stage is for closed-back headphones. There is just the right amount of thump from the bass guitar and kick drum, while the other instruments fill the stereo field.<\/p>\n<p>I noticed while listening to the Crossfade 3 that almost nothing ever came across as harsh or strident sounding. To test this, I listened to \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8rrOdcnFbAY\">Can You Get To That<\/a>\u201d by Funkadelic. The acoustic guitar here can sound painful on some headphones, but these took the sharp edge off without making it too dull.<\/p>\n<p>While there is no active noise cancellation (ANC), V-Moda did include noise-canceling mics for the built-in microphone. This means that your voice should come across more clearly when you\u2019re using the headphones for calls.<\/p>\n<p>Voice quality is decent, and the noise cancellation should keep you audible outdoors. That said, simply due to the form factor, this isn\u2019t a headset you\u2019d use to make calls all day.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Microphone_Audio_Sample_%E2%80%93_Indoor\"><\/span>Microphone Audio Sample \u2013 Indoor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><!--[if lt IE 9]><![endif]--><br \/>\n<audio title=\"Embedded Audio\" class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-831074-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/V-Moda-Crossfade-3-Wireless-Sample-Indoor.mp3?_=1\"\/><\/audio><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Microphone_Audio_Sample_%E2%80%93_Outdoor\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_5\">Microphone Audio Sample \u2013 Outdoor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><audio title=\"Embedded Audio\" class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-831074-2\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/V-Moda-Crossfade-3-Wireless-Sample-Outdoors.mp3?_=2\"\/><\/audio><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Battery_Life\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_6\">Battery Life<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-831085\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/v-moda-crossfade-3-wireless-ports.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Ports on the bottom of the V-Moda Crossfade 3 Wireless\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Kris Wouk \/ How-To Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"greybox_callout\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Battery life<\/strong>: 30 hours<\/li>\n<li><strong>Charging<\/strong>: USB-C<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>The V-Moda Crossfade 3 wireless offer a maximum battery life of up to 30 hours. Of course, this is at moderate volume, but even if you crank them up, you\u2019re going to get more than the 14-hour maximum battery life of the Crossfade 2 Wireless.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned above, if you\u2019re using the included cable to listen in wired mode, the headphones will automatically shut off the power. This means that as long as you have the cable, you don\u2019t have to worry about running out of power.<\/p>\n<p>While the older models used micro USB for charging, V-Moda has modernized the Crossfade 3 Wireless with USB-C for charging.

Just doubling the battery life of the last generation would have been enough to sell a new model, but the sound improvements and USB-C connectivity do a fantastic job of bringing these headphones into the present.<\/p>\n<p>The one major caveat is the same tradeoff that has been part of these headphones for years: no noise cancellation. That said, the passive noise isolation does a good job of blocking out intrusive sounds without the sometimes unpleasant side effects of ANC.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a fan of the V-Moda sound signature, the sound, solid construction, and battery life are well worth the tradeoffs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-review-card border\">\n<div class=\"review-card-body\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_What_We_Like-2\"><\/span>Here\u2019s What We Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Fun sound signature<\/li>\n<li>Wired mode for even better sound<\/li>\n<li>Wired listening doesn\u2019t require battery<\/li>\n<li>Comfortable for hours at a time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_We_Dont-2\"><\/span>And What We Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Lack noise cancellation<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Can be quiet in wired mode<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
