Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 2.0 Review: Best Bluetooth Headphones Out There?
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 07. 2017
- After trying out 20 to 30 different bluetooth headphones, and Amazon closing my account for returning too many of them, I finally landed on the Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 2.0. For my money, these are some of the best bluetooth headphones you can buy right now.
I guess Sennheiser is calling these the HD 1 Wireless now? And bumped the price back up to $500...

This is really professionally looking with good information and nice aesthetics I was suprised to see that you only had about 1000 subs. Keep up the good work!
Perfect, calm voiced review! Thank you!
Im leaning towards these after breaking of my wired Senns, with the plug now being stuck in my macbook. Your video convinced me to make the plunge, excellent review, thanks! And buy more headphones, headphones are fun!
It's been a long time since I heard a calm voice on CZcams.
So true!
Lol
Haha. HEY WHATSUP ITSYABOI CZcamsGAMER83 COMIN... aaaha shaddap ☺
That beat in the beginning was amazing
Excellent Video ~ you covered every conceivable category & your tone was ‘just right!’ Thx for your obvious effort & preparation to make this a Deal Maker Video (for me, at least).., I’m off to buy these w/ Amazon - I’ve been struggling [even, Agonizing..!!!] over which cans to get to replace my Sony MRX1000’s - they (like many others) cracked in the headband. 🇺🇸
Best review on this so far. Thanks.
Thanks for the review! +1 on the pressure when wearing the QC35.. If you wear them without music on, it feels like your head is in water and the pressure.. that's why I picked these in the end.
Great comprehensive review! All the detail about the sound signature really helps, most other channels won't provide that much detail and comparison to other headphones.
Brilliant review thanks I love my momentum ❤️
I really enjoy your content. This is the stuff I like spending hours just watching.Thanks for the video, considering the Momentum's and you made it very compelling. Keep up the work and I look forward to more videos dude. Please keep making them, they are stupid nice to watch.
+Trey Shuford appreciate the kind words! Do you like the videos where I am shooting top down using the product better (like the phone reviews), or the ones like this where it's like a photoshoot with voiceovers? Just curious because this is the first like that I've made, and I'm not sure if I like it more...thanks again!
Personally, I prefer the B-roll shots with voiceovers. I think the top-down videos have their place for people who don't know how to "tinker" or wants to know easy a product is to setup or use. The voiceover videos just seem more polished, refined, and more professional. Then again, I never really liked the top-down/unboxing-type videos. With voiceovers, you take the time to write or at least think about what to say so it becomes a nice, bite-sized video that keeps everyone pulled in and not bored. That's just my opinion and how I feel. Feel free to message me for any other feedback dude I'd love to help. TLDR; Voiceovers to me are better
Awesome review! Thanks so much
I bought them and they check every checkmark for a amazing headphone. I just hope that for the 3.0s they make interchagable earcups, make a better carrying case and add atpx HD. otherwisethey are perfect!
Awesome review, keep it up!
This is by far the best video on these headphones, please make one of the M3´s!!!
Tried these today in a store. Originally went into buy the HD4.40BT but thought they sounded very muffled in comparison to theses. I can see why they cost a fair bit more, but I think they’re worth it. No doubt I’ll be picking up a pair soon.
thanks dude, so far it's between these and the AKG K7XX massdrop edition.
4:06 for the mic test
Exactly why I'm here. Thanks.
its weird that none of the mejor electronics sellers where i live dont sell hd 1 insted they sell the momentum. And on senheisers website they only sell a special edtion hd1
Excellent review.
This is an amazing review
I know this review is old but I'm coming from bang and olufsen h7 and just bought the momentum 2.0 a day ago are they equivalent?
I've got the hd650s as well, are these comparable? I tried the xm3 and they were truly awful!
Very good Review 👍
these sound amazing the fact that i can go wired if need be means they are epic
At $200 right now they are unBEATable. Great review and Kudos for making it sound so good a rare feature on YT!
$200 new?
@@edscottable yeah, that’s what they sold for when version 3 arrived in shops
Great Review, i own mine since april, and love those, the sound quality is WAY better than my ex QC15, (can't compare the sound with QC25 since i does not used one for a fair amount of time).
To me the noise canceling is just OK, not so quiet as Bose but it does not cost the sound quality, i think this is the most "equilibrated" bluetooth headphones out there, in terms of Build Quality, Sound, Noise Canceling, Comfort, Battery Life, its not the best in all those points but certainly does a really good job in all categories.
I have brought mine for $430 at hong kong freeshop and i can say, that was a GOOD deal because the MSRP of $500 is fair considering all that it can offer, so if you want one and find it below $500 grab it and will have no regret.
Any way the video has ALL the info anyone needs, once again, great video!
Just bought them for 200. Can't wait to try them out
Wonder how these compare to a psb m4u2 headphones
does the noise cancelling work when u have it wired or no ?
Are these still worth $200 price tag today? Also how well would these work for PC gaming I use a separate mic.
Hi how do you turn on the noise cancelling please
Thanks for the review! Quick question for you: can you be on wireless but with the noise cancelling off with these headphones?
+CD Baksu nope, unfortunately the ANC is on 100% of the time. One of my few frioea with these phones. I tried the PCX 550s and while you do have more control over the ANC with those (and can turn it off), the sound quality wasn't even close to the Momentum's for me.
That sucks, thanks for the reply!
does it actually avoid using the battery when it's in wired mode?
I really want to order this but still really pricey for me in 2021. But if I can keep it for a long time I'm ok with the price. Is this headphone durable? I'm using Hyperx Cloud Core for 3 years. It's still great but its physical condition is not good anymore.
I'd use these headphones for home, office and a lot of traveluse as well. But, since the weather here is pretty wet most of the time, I wondered how rainproof these Sehnheisers are... obviously not waterproof, but I hope they can withstand some rain, drizzle and fog... any experience with that in combination with these headphones?
Rik Schippers they are fairly rain-resistant, but certainly not rated for water resistance and kinda expensive to risk it :/
@@Eggnog1001 support this answer 100% guys
I might have just missed it sooo if I did just leave a time stamp as a reply but what about Ambient Mode on the Momentums?
Tim M. There isn’t one
With is the best option to buy? The Sennheiser, Beats Studio3 wireless or Sony MDR 1000X?
I have the Sennheiser momentums, can vouch for them as being a wonderful pair of headphones. Personally prefer them to the PXC550s because I don't like the PXC build quality and on/off system. Apart from that, the Sonys are amazing too, don't think you can go wrong with either. Check amazon, they seem to be having some good discounts on the MDR 1000X after the WH1000X came out
Solid review. Since this is two years old, how do you think they compare to 2020 competitors? I ask because there's a sale on their site
How much were they going for? I just bought some
Nice review but i want help asap because i'm wondering which is the best this one or V-moda crossfade 2 wireless ?
And can the momentum 2 fit into large to mid ears ?
+Mohammad Mustafa sound quality, it’s not even close...the sennheisers are much better. V-Modas sound very muted and really not very good. I was honestly really disappointed. I had my wife try them both. She didn’t like the V-Modas and when she went back to the senns she said “it’s like the other one was missing some of the instruments.” I’ve tried a ton of Bluetooth headphones and the only ones that sound as good as the Senns are the Beoplay H7s
Tech Stuff With Bill what about the build quality ? And what about the new Sony headphones? And so you are saying that i should be away from V-Moda ? What should i get I'm really confused
Great review, Bill. Tried my wife's QC35's. The sound is super flat and not to my taste. I purchased the silver Sony WHMX3's and returned them because they were tan. Used the black for a week and loved the sound, once EQ'd. Couldn't handle the sweaty eat cups and the pressure was intense. Ordered the HD's and should have them in hand tomorrow. Looking forward to using them. Hope I'm not disappointed.
Lamar Jackson how do you like them?
@@landonray5084 The sound was amazing. I traded then for Sennheiser version then decided the noise cancelling wasn't for me. I now have a set of true wireless Sennheiser. Love them. 🔥
This or Bose QC35 II ?? Help me please
great review mate ive got qc35 but im buying momentum tomorrow i usually use to go to work on a bus train etc... what u reckon will suit me better ? cheers
+astrosbr thanks! The Bose definitely has the best ANC. The sennheiser does an adequate job, but the Bose blows it out of the water. If your commute isn't really that noisy, I'd go with the Senns. If it gets pretty noisy, they might not have enough noise cancelling to keep the volume down at a safe level.
hey thanks i just tested the momentum wireless 2.0 and got say is not good at all . i paid 300 for it on facebook brand new but will sell it asap. it takes so long to recharge and the sound isnt close as good os Q35. thanks for the help mate
+astrosbr ah man sorry to hear that. Did you give your brain time to adjust? I find that when going between headphones, if my brain is used to the sound of one and I try another, it takes a while to adjust. This is even when the new pair is much better (my brain just expects it to sound different). But sorry to hear you didn't like them!
I know you've already made your decision, but wanted to add that for commuting I preferred the momentums. I find you feel more "left alone" than "isolated". I felt less pressure than with the bose. For flying though I'd prefer the qc35 (which my husband has) as the reviewer has pointed out. Also wanted to add that this was a great review. To the point and includes all of the important info.
whats the intro music please
I just got a pair used because the price was nice. They have some flaws. You can't turn on or off noise cancellation and there is no settings. They are very comfortable.
Love my Momentums ❤️. Great review 👍
No physical button to turn on and off the Mic.... That's a bummer...
Can you mute the mic?
Bowers and Wilkins PX or the Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 2.0 sound better ?
Sarky Ho definitely px
If you wanted to would you be able to run with these on and they not fall off?
Eh...I wouldn’t recommend it. You probably could but I find that they come off pretty easily if your head moves forward or backward. Left and right is generally ok.
Why return when you bought it
can you change the pads. That is one huge aspects that nobody is talking about.
Being Sennheisers, I wouldn't doubt it.
If you can do it models that are even cheaper, why would the higher end models not do it?
I was hoping for you to test the microphone on these :/ as I need a pair of good headphones that also have a good useable micphone :\
4:06 He says that call quality is excellent and mic works well.
@@gblargg i mean I wanted to hear it on video him talking into the mic
Wow excellent review, I'm more sorry your wife is mad than Amazon; I'm married. *Question* are these essentially the same as the Sennheiser HD 1's?
- Thanks!
D Jaquith its weird that none of the mejor electronics sellers where i live dont sell hd 1 insted they sell the momentum. And on senheisers website they only sell a special edtion hd1
ExsplosiveCake
They're the same product, apparently the 'Momentum' name was a registered trademark in some countries so Sennheiser renamed it to the HD1.
D Jaquith ok thanks for letting me know
Im talking to someone about buying some used wired Momentum 2.0 for my Moto X4 smartphone on the go. He wants $95 for them, should I cop? Want something fun sounding and high quality for travel.
Definitely, they are great and good for the money
I use the wired momentums 2 for motorola x4. It's a perfect match 👍
the headband of your pair is a bit bend... not really smooth round... i noticed the same thing on a pair at the shop and was wondering if all the momentums come like that
+r3load yeah I'm not sure when that happened but it's been like that since as long as I can remember. A little irritating considering the price...but all in all this has held up well for the past year or so
The best ones! I have the wh-1000xM3 and tge sound quality does not compare... I love them
J S which has the better audio quality?
@@waifubrigade7521 to me the sennheiser's however if you are a basshead the sony's might be the option
Thank you
Is there any difference in sound quality between the Wired & Wireless version of Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 ??
The wireless have better sound with aptx function. I have tried wired momentum after trying the wireless one, the sound just a lot better with the wireless.
@@MsArmy00 hey bro, i ordered momentum 2 wireless, could u say that headphones better sound quality than quiet 35 ii, sony wh-1000xm3? i like a little bass, its worth?
@@Mehmet-ig3ow I have tried both 1000mx3 with momentum wireless. for noise cancelling, Sony have better noise isolation. U can adjust the isolation for you need. But the momentum dont have that function. You can still hear the outside noise a bit, but still you can enjoy the sound well. But for sound quality, momentum have better sound than 1000mx3. The sound is more dynamic and the bass is more punchy. It is like you just sitting in frond of live band and you can hear where did the drum, guitarist and singer stand. But for heavy bass listener and you dont mind about the voice and dynamic sound, maybe you will like 1000mx3 more.
@@MsArmy00 i am using bose 35ii, sound amazing, flat and clear but not enough for me because sounds is not loudly, i want dynmic sound, true sound,good bass, loudly sound level, i dont care noise canceling, sound is important for me overall, and u said for the sound sennheiser is best, thank u bro appriate that
@@Mehmet-ig3ow a lot of people said that 1000mx3 have better sound than qc35. And momentum have better sound than 1000mx3. I am sure you will be happy with your momentum 2 wireless. The sound will getting better after long term use.
well im sold man i found these used for 90 euros im picking them up tomorrow im gonna watch a bunch of movies with em hahaha
Can you turn off the ANC?
thepdails yes but only if you add the 3.5mm wire. otherwise the Bluetooth always keeps nc feature on
I thought trying on some headphones happens in a BestBuy stores , maybe i got it wrong in iraq.
+Sam Fisher if you're buying beats or Bose, then yes....but any other pair and you really can't audition them without buying it yourself.
Definitely not. Mine crash whenever I enter a game lobby, because the drivers on PC are awful, they only work well on a phone or connected to a sound system, also they work in general windows but any game you join. BAM, entire audio driver crashes, also the mic doesnt work on PC.
Noise cancellation is essential with two kids
Where this guy went?
Amazon took out a hit on him!! 😂
Just bought that 2 weeks ago for $199 @ bestbuy
AMG Guy Do they still hold up compared to the stuff out now like the Bose 700 and Sony MX3. Because I also just saw them for that price and am wondering if they would be a good purchase because they would save me easily over 100 dollars. They also look super cool so if they sound really good I will definitely have to buy.
Comfortable is a the word to describe them. It is impossible to have them on for more then an hour on a plane. The ears burn!
Instead of buying and returning headphones, why not try them in a shop?
James Collins rare to find them in a shop tbh
ZZ Groove
Fair point, but I have seen them a few times in the UK.
They are very rare in shops here in the UK too
I don't know of any shop that has a bunch of high end headphones that you can try out.
👍👍👍
The best Bluetooth headphones in the world! I love these headphones 🎧
Sony wh 1000xm3?
@@Sonasegura way better than these ones
@@Sonasegura sennheiser are good but you probably don't own either of them, so your clueless
@@Sonasegura lmao kid stfu I own both of them, you don't own either
@@Sonasegura says the person who likes all his own comments. Lmao
This is the best, most pleasant review I've seen on CZcams in forever, well done! I consider hardwarecannucks to be the best reviewers on CZcams but I think they just got a contender
I think they are the same.None the less,from what i heard,through bluetooth,the quality is reduced compared if you plug the cable in them.Good thing they come with a cable.
Anyone that has this headphone: Do you experience any lag when using it wireless to watch videos or play games?
No lag. They are in sync with CZcams videos.
@@michaelperry5565 thx for the answer, good to know :)
i purchased a pair today and unless mine are defective the volume is horrible. I literally kept thinking my device wasnt all the way up. They will be returned and at 400usd and my first Sennheiser purchase I am not impressed. Compared to a pair of Beats Studio3 these didnt even come close to volume. I know that music is not just about volume but if I feel the need to consistently turn up the volume on a $400 pair of headphones I think there is something wrong.
Dane B me too. I think the volume not so load. Even max still i feel not loud
0:38 thanks man. You are the reason why Amazon is now banning people who actually have to return stuff for legitimate reasons.
They look nothing like steampunk.
There are better headphones for a slightly higher price.
Such as?
