Experienced headphone owner here, lifelong technology enthusiast. I've owned the bowers and Wilkins p7 wireless, the sennheiser hd650s and the momentum 2 wired and wireless. I'm aware of sennheisers's reputation making some of the finest headphones around. I actually listened to this 2016 CZcams video with my new sennheiser momentum 2 wireless over ear headphones purchased September 21, 2019 from a local best buy store. The momentum headphones have high build quality, a stylish design and very good, but not quite audiophile sound quality. True audiophile headphones have near flat frequency response and open designs for wide spatial soundstages. The sennheiser momentum has an equalization curve, better than Bose or beats, for a fun dynamic sounds. The larger memory foam leather ear cushions improve comfort and seal better from external sounds. Unfortunately sennheiser has followed the marketing bandwagon and went with noise canceling technology, which adds a bit of distortion and a slight pressure on the eardrums.
I don't know if you still read these comments: I was looking into buying a pair of headphones for my brother and I decided on either these or Bose quiet comfort. I turned to CZcams and found that you had reviews on both. You made fantastic reviews and convinced me to buy these based on clear advantages. Thank you I subscribed.
+William Hammond Appreciate it and I always read the comments!! Honestly, I would go with the Sennheiser Momentums because they have the best sound quality out right now as far as portable headphones are concerned. The Bose has amazing noise cancelation, but the sound quality is not the same class as the Sennheisers. Let me know if you have any other questions!
I got these and they sound excellent, have been using them for almost a year and they are still holding up real tough, but the sound is amazing. I'm very happy with these.
That's awesome, I love the Momentum 2s as well! Actually just reviewed Sennheiser's newest Bluetooth headphone if you care to check it out: czcams.com/video/mr8XB14vCFc/video.html
Right on about the mids. FINALLY a pair of headphones that has clear, prominent and detailed MIDRANGE, while also having a full bass response and presence. Every single other pair of high-end consumer type headphones I've tried, for some reason, insist on scooping out the midrange response to varying degrees.
After owning this for over 5 years, the inner brown leather all peeled off, and I've had to replace the 3.5mm cord. The sound is still solid compared to Bang Olufsen H4 2nd Gen.
Watching this video in 2020 and literally wearing the momentum 2.0 Sound quality is really great and has really great noise cancellation.worth every penny...loved this video
I have a 1.0 model, works perfectly and looks new after years of use and travel but it is uncomfortable to use for long periods due to the excessive pressure on my ears. Will definitely upgrade to the 2.0 version ! Thanks for such a strait and amazing quality review
Just got mine and I luv them to death. I use with the wire the sound is really luscious and rich. These are great for movies the bass makes the sound fun and exciting. The comfort is very nice. And the build and materials used is the best. Have wanted these for a long time and not disappointed. Sennheiser is a favorite company for headphones and the momentum 2 are a fun and very handsome set of headphones.
Before these my audio tech x50 were my fav headphone . but this blows them away . but if your gonna use this with a phone i rec you down load power amp for andriod . It will really bring these phones out
The Momentum 2s have pretty decent passive noise isolation, but the QC35 has active noise-cancellation which is in another league. For example, the Momentum 2s would not be able to block out much noise on an airplane, but the QC35 would be pretty silent with music playing. But in a quiet office or library, the Momentum 2s with music playing would get the job done.
+Aaron Jesse - I wondered if i was the only one who caught this. Whew! Although, I guess if its an awesome mix, they might help get it up, who knows? Have Fun kids!
@@RobertoCampoliOfficial You are the only person to have asked after all this time. Thank you. Three years on, I am still enjoying them. Matter of fact, my daughter has been using them a lot as well. They function properly and have had no issue. From playing music, to gaming sessions they have been great. The only drawback, they become slightly irritating on the ears after 2+ hours.
@@michaelsmith1848 ya nice one for the reply! I’m just worried that they don’t fit around my whole ear. I like over ear cans and there’s a few vids that say they don’t fully cup your ear. I’m gonna be using them as DJ headphones so like that isolation :)
@@RobertoCampoliOfficial They don't fully fit around the ear. They are very comfortable for a couple of hours and the sound quality is excellent. Sennheiser now makes the Momentum 3, which from my understanding, covers the entire ear. I hopethat helps.
I have the original Momentum over ear wired and the Momentum 2.0 over ear wired. I actually like the original Momentum better. Vocals sound too forward and fatiguing on the 2.0.I love the bass, though. You did an excellent job on your review
I am interested buying the originals to save some bucks, therefore, is there some other advantage you want to mention to get the original over Momentum 2.0? Most of the reviews I read, 2.0 is more comfortable in the long run. Would you agree with that argument? I'd like to read your comments since you are currently own both versions. Thanks already!
My cord broke, but luckily it's easily replaceable. Replaced it with a thick, durable, nylon cord. Love these things. Had them over a year and they still work well despite sleeping with them on a bunch.
really great review bro. ive watched most of ur high end headphones review now. I would now love a comparison between 3-4 high end headphones such as : momentums 2.0, quiet comfort, vmoda m100, beats, athm50x. I can watch each of your video reviews but i think a detailed comparison video would be really great! i'm currently looking into buying a pair of this. (Currently owns athm50x/vmoda m100/sony md1rbt) the vmodas are currently my favorite right now
+Neil Manalo Yes definitely!! I agree with you and I have a big comparison in the works. Regarding the Momentum 2s, I really love the V-Modas as my favorite headphones as well... but if there were one headphone to steal me away, it would be the Sennheisers. The mids are a really nice change of pace, and you might start missing them when you listen back to the M100s.
I’ve got a big head and thick curly hair so finding headphones that fit good was extremely hard... but these are incredibly comfy, don’t “eat” my hair up and the bass...oh the bass!! I absolutely love them.
I impulsively bought these. I'm also a bass head. I ussually use portable speakers, my last being the JBL Xtreme so I guess me comparing it to that means these are gonna sound like shit in the bass department. I also had a pair of seimheisser HD headphones which was about 80 dollars. Although that one didnt have as good sound as this the bass sounded more rich and full. The bass on this thing doesnt sound great. Its fine but not worth the price tag and if ur looking for bassy headphones these are defintally not for you.
Hi, ODi. I love your reviews, which are always my go-to! I'm just curious about how these over-ears stack up against the on-ears? Thanks, keep up the good work. :)
+Hegel Tsai I appreciate that a lot!! I have actually tried the on-ears a handful of times and I have to say that there is no comparison. The on-ears sound pretty boomy and lack the balance and high-end clarity of the over-ears. On top of that, the on-ears are pretty uncomfortable, especially when compared to the over-ears which are very comfortable. Overall, if you have the extra money, I'd swing for the over-ears every time. Thanks again for watching.
ODi Productions If price was equal, which color would you have bought? Struggling to decide (wireless). The Ivory is vintage unique but the black is classic. Afraid that the Ivory may be a passing fancy to me in two weeks.
Any concerns about the loose cables above the earcups? I know they are necessary, but for durability purposes, wondering if anyone has accidentally snagged them on something when taking them out of the bag? Will of course keep them in the case but just curious if its happened to anyone.
First of all, thanx for the great review! Can't make my mind up...here goes: I listen mostly to classical music (orchestra; chamber & piano mostly...), would you recommend the M2s over the HD598s? Or would you recommend spending double and getting the HD650s? Cheers!
Superb review. I just purchased a pair of HD 579s which sound fantastic but look like industrial tools. Bland grey and bulky: not too pretty. And they're open back so not too good for commuting or other public places. These Momentum 2.0s seem to be better for sound isolation and they look like finely crafted fashion accessories. Impressive. I'll go sample them at the local dealer. Thanx.
The sound quality of the Momentum is similar to the Beyerdynamic DT770, only lighter. I’m sure the DT770 would have stronger bass output when using equaliser settings.
Old video but there is one flaw I feel with my Momentum 2s, and that is if you're wearing a winter jacket or some other clothing with a largeish collar, and it touches the metal frame (at the bottom), a scraping noise travels really loudly into the headphones. You can simulate this by rubbing the metal ends with your finger when you're wearing them. The only really annoying thing with these otherwise fantastic headphones imho.
Very nice video! Between Momentum 2.0 and Beoplay H6 (2nd Gen), which one would you recommend for modern symphony orchestras (example: Lord of the Rings)?
the original sennheiser momentum headphones sounded so good, but the were so uncomfortable i had to return them right away. I really want these now since they look like they fixed it.
So the comforts of version 2.0 coming forth considering having more space around the ears compared to the originals so the pads do not press the ears? Could you elaborate a little more maybe?
Great review dude, and it's nice to see u respond to questions in the comments. I think I'll save up for a pair, as I've grown tired of my m-80's clamping my ears! haha
I appreciate that! I enjoy helping people make the right purchase. Oh man the Momentum 2s are definitely a step up in sound quality, and the comfort is almost on par with Bose's QC series. I love em, and I know you will too!
Love this headphone, but to get the best sound out of them is to change the standard cable. I use now a Fututech cable. HUGE different sound. Much better bottom and the midrange is more transparent. Higher frequency have more details.
I just got these from Amazon and I must admit that these are the best headphones I have ever owned. I haven't heard as good mids before as these headphones have and the bass is tight and punchy as well. Also this ivory color option looks really nice to me.
for some reason I have alcantara on the headband but everywhere else i've seen it has a leather headband. Not complaining cause I love alcantara however can someone explain why this is? Just curious...
I am trying to decide between the Momentum 2.0 and the V-Moda M100. I listen to practically any music and can't decide between the two. Can someone help me?
Hi a great video BTW! So I'm from India and I'm confused with the momentum in ear or momentum over the ear headphones can you suggest me which one to pick and if you can help a little more can you also tell me that at this price range are bose sound true ultra better than these? Thanks :)
Umm, well, i have bose qc35 and msr7se, is it worth to upgrade to this sennheiser momentum 2.0? I need the most detailed sound and enjoyable. Or do u have any other option? Thanks~
Ear cups are still too small and ear pads compress after a while, meaning your ears will touch the driver. Also, if you wear prescription glasses, these headphones will fatigue you. Sound-wise, they are ok. Low impedance headphones meant for use with phones.
Would this be a good pair of headphones for all types of music like fast paced electro to rock or hip hop and r&b, I heard it was warm sounding and is good for slow music but i dont know what that means
You have the impedance completely the wrong way round. It is higher impedance devices which require lower currents and hence suitabilty for portable devices. Lower impedances need driving with much higher currents. Simple Ohms Law V=IR. Impedance is effectively a frequency dependant resistance in the circuit so it's the R in the equation. (pedant of the day award please)
Great Review! It's great seeing you back ODi, I've been searching for the best, and most affordable monitor speakers for production. There aren't any Musical Hardware shops around my area, so I shop online for my equipment so feel free to throw some recommendations out there for me please i would appreciate the support and help.
+BENJY FRANK Hey man! Good to hear from you as well my friend. So usually, for a beginner set of studio monitors for producing, I usually recommend the KRK Rokit 5's because they're a good intro to studio monitors and have some punchy bass response that is missing from other monitors of the same size. The KRK's go for $300 for the pair. But right now, JBL has a sale on their LSR305 monitors for just $240 for the pair (Amazon). That would probably be a better value at this time. Either way, can't go wrong with either JBL or KRK :-)
+ODi Productions Thanks man I appreciate the input and recommendations, also I want to say thanks for RecordingNow the help I've received from learning the foundations of mixing to theory I have came a long way, check out my channel and see my journey of my craft the latest video is my newest production was produced and mixed by yours truly
What's up ODi. Here's my situation in a nutshell: I currently have the Crossfade Wireless, Beats Studio Wireless, and Bose QC20 Earbuds. Currently I have been using the CFW at home for Music and Gaming, the BSW at work for music listening while working and anytime I need a little more isolation than the CFW can give me, and the QC20s pretty much go everywhere with me since they're so small, and I use them when I'm in really noisy situations. I've been looking at either the Momentum 2.0 or the Sony MDR-1A. Both intrigue me because not only do I hear many say they sound better than my current options, but it seems as though they both have a completely different sound signature from the headphones I have. What do you think is the better headphone between the MDR-1A and Momentum 2.0s and why? What's the difference in sound quality between the two? Thanks in Advance! Love your reviews
+mjohnsonjr23 Personally, I would choose the Momentum 2 over the MDR-1A because I prefer the sound signature. The Sony's are more mid-centric than any of the above headphones, and I find that its more balanced sound signature is not as exciting to listen to. On the other hand, the Senns have a somewhat similar sound signature to the V-Modas, but there's just enough mid response that they provide a refreshingly different listening experience over time (I know this because I own both). With all that said, they are both very good headphones and about as good as it gets when it comes to stylish, portable cans. PS. Thank you for the kind praise :P
Odi which one would you recommend me I'm looking for amazing sound quality but it's head because I want to get the Momentum 2.0 Bluetooth but I'm afraid it's going to sacrifice sound quality and if it is so I could get the wired version. I need help please!!
Hey how would this heaphone do for gaming too? As i also often like to stream games while playing music at the same time. And how is the pc connection for the wireless?
You can definitely use these for gaming, but you might wanna add a mic attachment to make it a headset. I can't comment on the Wireless as I haven't gotten a chance to use it sorry.
ODI Production i know that you mentioned the bass quality.I'm a bass lover.Yes i can't forget sound quality too.I mostly use them for Music,movies mostly.I've been looking for something cinematic.Nothing seems to be great on the market at this time.Maybe i haven't ran in to the right headphones to match my preference.I had the Sony mdr 950 B1 models.I love the extra bass and normal bass level.I don't mind trying something new.I just wanted to get your opinion on these headphones since you demonstration and reviewed it.Thank you for letting me know on the sound quality.It's just hard to find the right headphones.
Great video bro you covered everything I’m new to the headset I use Apple airpods but I want something like this I don’t know what audiophile is I herd u mention it a couple times but I think u sold me on this pair
I was online yesterday searching for an older and less expensive pair of Sennheiser to use instead of the aftershokz that I had been using most of the time lately. I had found a couple decent pairs for $25-35 depending but decided to just hold off. I stopped in the goodwill on my way home today just to see if they had a small cd case for a good deal since I had seen them there many times before and did find a decent Eddie Bauer cd case that was $2. I go to checkout and see a pair of nice looking headphones hanging on the back wall and asked to check them out and what do you know.. it's a pair of Sennheiser Momentum marked $6. You know I hooked that up!! Only issue is one side doesn't work because of the cable. I already found where you can move the cable to get it to work but I'm just going to replace that and have a nice hookup.
Great review! You mentioned v-moda, and because I was thinking of getting v-moda crossfade wireless (momentum wireless is too expensive for me wright now), have you had any experience with those? Can the sound quality compare to the momentum 2.0 wireless? Thank you for the video and keep uploading those reviews!
+Bogdan Kovac Both the wireless counterparts of these headphones sound pretty identical since the latest Bluetooth is very high fidelity. With that said, the V Moda Wireless has been slightly tuned differently than the wired version, there's apparently more mids now. Can't go wrong with either! Trust me :-)
I found this headphones (the wireless ones) for 245€ online and they can be send to my country, Spain, where actually i couldn't find them for less than 350€. Should i buy them? I have exactly 250€ of budget
Yes, if you can afford these then I will always recommend them with a smile. The Sennheiser Momentum 2s are one of the best portable headphones out right now, bar none. You will not regret it at all!
I bought the wired m-100 and am going to buy these used for $225. I am giving my sister my m-100 and my parents are going to cover the cost for these. Super excited!
Awesome! The Momentum 2s are loved by many. By any chance, did you ever hear about Sennheiser's new PXC 550? I reviewed them here: czcams.com/video/mr8XB14vCFc/video.html

When you talk about the EQ curve, they are slightly bass heavy right?

Is there any difference in sound quality between the Wired & Wireless version of Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 ??
Old video but there is one flaw I feel with my Momentum 2s, and that is if you're wearing a winter jacket or some other clothing with a largeish collar, and it touches the metal frame (at the bottom), a scraping noise travels really loudly into the headphones. You can simulate this by rubbing the metal ends with your finger when you're wearing them. The only really annoying thing with these otherwise fantastic headphones imho.
Very nice video! Between Momentum 2.0 and Beoplay H6 (2nd Gen), which one would you recommend for modern symphony orchestras (example: Lord of the Rings)?
background beat is dope bro. keep at it.
Appreciate that!! I need to get back into producing
i picked up a set of these based very much on your review thanks for the great info!
That is so awesome to hear. I hope you like them as much as I do!
ODi Productions What headphones are good for making music?
the original sennheiser momentum headphones sounded so good, but the were so uncomfortable i had to return them right away. I really want these now since they look like they fixed it.
hello,
I'm ready to buy headphones to listen to EDM but im between to V moda lp2 and sennheiser momentum 2.0 over ear...what do you prefer?
I came to know this headphones came up with Android and iOS device range...Could this headphones be a better choice for a studio use?
The information, your video and the music is awesome , keep doing videos. Please make one of the nad viso hp50
Much appreciated!!
So the comforts of version 2.0 coming forth considering having more space around the ears compared to the originals so the pads do not press the ears? Could you elaborate a little more maybe?
If I was in a hallway with at least 20 people talking and I put this headphone on with medium volume, will I still hear them?
Your review made me purchase these and I'm hoping I've made the right choice! I've subscribed to your channel, thank you for the great review.
How do you think they compare to the QC35 ii's? I've heard the ANC is far better on the Bose's, but how does sound compare?
I'm considsring these, are they better sounding than the M50x ?
Great review dude, and it's nice to see u respond to questions in the comments. I think I'll save up for a pair, as I've grown tired of my m-80's clamping my ears! haha
I appreciate that! I enjoy helping people make the right purchase. Oh man the Momentum 2s are definitely a step up in sound quality, and the comfort is almost on par with Bose's QC series. I love em, and I know you will too!
Love this headphone, but to get the best sound out of them is to change the standard cable. I use now a Fututech cable. HUGE different sound. Much better bottom and the midrange is more transparent. Higher frequency have more details.
Wow is that so? I'm going to have to try this out ASAP. Thanks for the tip
ODi Productions did you notice a difference?
@@oDiProductions did you try the new cable out what were your findings? And where do you have a link for the cable please?
I just got these from Amazon and I must admit that these are the best headphones I have ever owned. I haven't heard as good mids before as these headphones have and the bass is tight and punchy as well. Also this ivory color option looks really nice to me.
+juho lukkala Yup! I agree. Love the mids. And the ivory color surprised me in person, it does look beautiful.
Great channel, watched a bunch of videos today. Subscribed!
Thank you Dennis! Welcome :-)
Sennhieser are decent. But the question is how comfortable for how long at a time?
for some reason I have alcantara on the headband but everywhere else i've seen it has a leather headband. Not complaining cause I love alcantara however can someone explain why this is? Just curious...
How is the base and overall ANC performance stacks up with the competition ?
Can I use these for the gym ? Also does the head/band press onto your head, making it uncomfortable?
I am trying to decide between the Momentum 2.0 and the V-Moda M100. I listen to practically any music and can't decide between the two. Can someone help me?
Momentums are imo higher quality and would be a better choice.
How comfortable would you say the Momentum are?
+Fyrion sometimes they hurt my ears, but generally they're really comfortable and I couldn't be happier.
are the momentum 2.0 loud cause I can't handle headphones that are too quiet
Hi a great video BTW! So I'm from India and I'm confused with the momentum in ear or momentum over the ear headphones can you suggest me which one to pick and if you can help a little more can you also tell me that at this price range are bose sound true ultra better than these? Thanks :)
Can the Seenhesier Momentum 2.0 Ear Cups fit on the orignial Sennhesier Momentum?
Does anyone know if it would be possible to change the Momentum 1s earpads with the Momentum 2s earpads
how does this compare with the Oppo PM3??? is the ear pad removable type???
Umm, well, i have bose qc35 and msr7se, is it worth to upgrade to this sennheiser momentum 2.0? I need the most detailed sound and enjoyable. Or do u have any other option? Thanks~
Ear cups are still too small and ear pads compress after a while, meaning your ears will touch the driver. Also, if you wear prescription glasses, these headphones will fatigue you.
Sound-wise, they are ok. Low impedance headphones meant for use with phones.
Momentum 2 or beyerdynamic custom pro plus ? Music for on planes etc. Listen mostly to metal and classic rock from s phone or iPod.
Subscribed my man! How do these match up to B&O H7 8 or 9? Build quality in both look premium, thoughts people??? 👌😉
Would this be a good pair of headphones for all types of music like fast paced electro to rock or hip hop and r&b, I heard it was warm sounding and is good for slow music but i dont know what that means
You have the impedance completely the wrong way round. It is higher impedance devices which require lower currents and hence suitabilty for portable devices. Lower impedances need driving with much higher currents. Simple Ohms Law V=IR. Impedance is effectively a frequency dependant resistance in the circuit so it's the R in the equation. (pedant of the day award please)
Great Review! It's great seeing you back ODi, I've been searching for the best, and most affordable monitor speakers for production. There aren't any Musical Hardware shops around my area, so I shop online for my equipment so feel free to throw some recommendations out there for me please i would appreciate the support and help.
+BENJY FRANK Hey man! Good to hear from you as well my friend. So usually, for a beginner set of studio monitors for producing, I usually recommend the KRK Rokit 5's because they're a good intro to studio monitors and have some punchy bass response that is missing from other monitors of the same size. The KRK's go for $300 for the pair.
But right now, JBL has a sale on their LSR305 monitors for just $240 for the pair (Amazon). That would probably be a better value at this time.
Either way, can't go wrong with either JBL or KRK :-)
+ODi Productions Thanks man I appreciate the input and recommendations, also I want to say thanks for RecordingNow the help I've received from learning the foundations of mixing to theory I have came a long way, check out my channel and see my journey of my craft the latest video is my newest production was produced and mixed by yours truly
+BENJY FRANK Awesome, awesome man! So glad RecordingNOW has been useful for you. I'll check it out forsure
What's up ODi. Here's my situation in a nutshell:
I currently have the Crossfade Wireless, Beats Studio Wireless, and Bose QC20 Earbuds. Currently I have been using the CFW at home for Music and Gaming, the BSW at work for music listening while working and anytime I need a little more isolation than the CFW can give me, and the QC20s pretty much go everywhere with me since they're so small, and I use them when I'm in really noisy situations. I've been looking at either the Momentum 2.0 or the Sony MDR-1A. Both intrigue me because not only do I hear many say they sound better than my current options, but it seems as though they both have a completely different sound signature from the headphones I have. What do you think is the better headphone between the MDR-1A and Momentum 2.0s and why? What's the difference in sound quality between the two? Thanks in Advance! Love your reviews
+mjohnsonjr23 Personally, I would choose the Momentum 2 over the MDR-1A because I prefer the sound signature. The Sony's are more mid-centric than any of the above headphones, and I find that its more balanced sound signature is not as exciting to listen to. On the other hand, the Senns have a somewhat similar sound signature to the V-Modas, but there's just enough mid response that they provide a refreshingly different listening experience over time (I know this because I own both). With all that said, they are both very good headphones and about as good as it gets when it comes to stylish, portable cans. PS. Thank you for the kind praise :P
Is there any sound quality difference between wired and wireleaa
Jack K No
Idealisplec Gaming Hernandez yeah there is
Odi which one would you recommend me I'm looking for amazing sound quality but it's head because I want to get the Momentum 2.0 Bluetooth but I'm afraid it's going to sacrifice sound quality and if it is so I could get the wired version. I need help please!!
Hey how would this heaphone do for gaming too? As i also often like to stream games while playing music at the same time. And how is the pc connection for the wireless?
You can definitely use these for gaming, but you might wanna add a mic attachment to make it a headset. I can't comment on the Wireless as I haven't gotten a chance to use it sorry.
Did you do the test with an android (using apt-X) or iphone? Did you notice a big difference without apt-X?
Thank you for sharing the link! It saved me a lot of money!😃
You're very welcome. Enjoy :-)
How can you talk about 2024 in a 8 year old upload?
duiuuude i was fucking wondering hahahaha
it s a known clickbaity gimmick to give new life to old videos. i bet this video had 2023, and will have 2025 in its title
momentum 2.0 or m100?
Og er mann flere med damme headsett kann Di klone opp mot mic og mann kan bruke telefonen som plattform?
ODI Production i know that you mentioned the bass quality.I'm a bass lover.Yes i can't forget sound quality too.I mostly use them for Music,movies mostly.I've been looking for something cinematic.Nothing seems to be great on the market at this time.Maybe i haven't ran in to the right headphones to match my preference.I had the Sony mdr 950 B1 models.I love the extra bass and normal bass level.I don't mind trying something new.I just wanted to get your opinion on these headphones since you demonstration and reviewed it.Thank you for letting me know on the sound quality.It's just hard to find the right headphones.
Great video bro you covered everything I’m new to the headset I use Apple airpods but I want something like this I don’t know what audiophile is I herd u mention it a couple times but I think u sold me on this pair
If you wanted to run with these in, would you be okay to do so?
I was online yesterday searching for an older and less expensive pair of Sennheiser to use instead of the aftershokz that I had been using most of the time lately. I had found a couple decent pairs for $25-35 depending but decided to just hold off. I stopped in the goodwill on my way home today just to see if they had a small cd case for a good deal since I had seen them there many times before and did find a decent Eddie Bauer cd case that was $2. I go to checkout and see a pair of nice looking headphones hanging on the back wall and asked to check them out and what do you know.. it's a pair of Sennheiser Momentum marked $6. You know I hooked that up!! Only issue is one side doesn't work because of the cable. I already found where you can move the cable to get it to work but I'm just going to replace that and have a nice hookup.
Where can you find these under 300 ? Everywhere 349.00
Great review! You mentioned v-moda, and because I was thinking of getting v-moda crossfade wireless (momentum wireless is too expensive for me wright now), have you had any experience with those? Can the sound quality compare to the momentum 2.0 wireless? Thank you for the video and keep uploading those reviews!
+Bogdan Kovac Both the wireless counterparts of these headphones sound pretty identical since the latest Bluetooth is very high fidelity. With that said, the V Moda Wireless has been slightly tuned differently than the wired version, there's apparently more mids now. Can't go wrong with either! Trust me :-)
Guys, What Over-Ear headphones wired headphones should i buy for £150-230? Anyone recommend anything currently? i need to upgrade
Momentum 2.0 & Momentum M2 is the same thing?
And the portability? This was one of Sennheiser's practical criteria targets for the range after all :/. Leakage? Level of noise cancellation?
No leakage. Active noice cancellation very good.
I found this headphones (the wireless ones) for 245€ online and they can be send to my country, Spain, where actually i couldn't find them for less than 350€. Should i buy them? I have exactly 250€ of budget
Yes, if you can afford these then I will always recommend them with a smile. The Sennheiser Momentum 2s are one of the best portable headphones out right now, bar none. You will not regret it at all!
how it is compared to audio tecnica ath m50x
I bought the wired m-100 and am going to buy these used for $225. I am giving my sister my m-100 and my parents are going to cover the cost for these. Super excited!
PS. I'm getting the wireless with NC
Awesome! The Momentum 2s are loved by many. By any chance, did you ever hear about Sennheiser's new PXC 550? I reviewed them here: czcams.com/video/mr8XB14vCFc/video.html
