Reddit mentions of Sennheiser Momentum Headphone - Black

From this guy named Stabby Peters in the alley behind GG's Whorehouse.

No, but really, from Amazon, specifically here.

There are plenty of classy/fashionable headphones that still sound good.

Sennheiser Momentums

There's really no reason to compromise sound for looks.

Sennheiser Momentums for $199.95.

I've had these on my Amazon wishlist for awhile. Pulled the trigger on them this morning.

> Sennheiser HD 558'

I have a pair of Sennheiser momentum


they're excellent also. I bought them off someone who won 'em at work... and I got them a couple of days before I won a pair of "Beats". haven't opened the Beats yet and no idea what to do with 'em.

Not really, the 598 have a slight weakness towards the low end...

See measurements: Here, here and here.

And if you look at the last graph, the green line is pretty much what a warm sounding headphones would measure like.

Edit: That makes me think, the Sennheiser Momentum would be pretty good for OP, no amp/dac required.

Headphones that look cool and sound decent: UrbanEars

Headphones that sound amazing but look like headphones: suggestions of several styles and price points

Headphones that are trendy and look good but are also overpriced and don't sound that good: Beats

Most people I tell to stay way the hell away from Beats but a 14 year old might appreciate the hip-and-cool factor enough that it would be worth it. (But if I, a grown-ass adult, was going to spend $250 on headphones, I'd buy these.)

I'm looking for a comfortable set of headphones I can wear all day, that accurately and cleanly reproduce sound.

Budget - Theoretically unlimited, but I'm usually happy enough in the low-mid range.

Source - HiFiMAN EF2A

Requirements for Isolation - These will be used at work to drown out the noise of the mechanical keyboards my new coworkers use.

Preferred Type of Headphone - Over the ear

Preferred tonal balance - Studio monitors, I want accurate sound reproduction.

Past headphones - For years I used a pair of Sennheiser PXC-350's for travel and occasional office use. I love the sound but they are too tight on my head to wear comfortably for hours.

In the last few weeks I've tried out 3 different pairs:

• Sennheiser Momentum - I think these sounded good, but despite being sold as "over the ear" on me they were definitely "on ear". I returned them.
  
• Sony MDRV6 - I love how these sound. They're crisp and clear and everything sounds wonderful on them. The only problem is that they aren't quite big enough to fit over my ears comfortably. After an hour I have to take them off for at least 20 minutes.
  
• Sony MDR1R - These sound muddy compared to the MDRV6's, but they're so much more comfortable.
  
  Preferred Music - Vocal/R&B, Rock, Classical and occasionally Jazz. The first things I listened to when I got the two Sony headphones were Amy Winehouse, a Dvorak concerto, Pink Floyd and Joe Satriani.

I think the Sennheiser Momentum is better in every way, especially for the music you listed. Mids aren't recessed, bass isn't as prominent, and the highs are a bit rolled off but still detailed.

They originally went for ~$300, but right now ADGTron is selling a Used - Like New pair for $105. He's an authorized Sennheiser dealer, and sells brand new without a box. It's where I got mine.

Only issue is if you have big ears, they'll be pretty uncomfortable. Worth a shot though. $105 is a damn good price for them.

I would honestly recommend the Sennheiser Momentum.

They are around 150-160 new but you can get a used one for 120 from Amazon

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00AZZNXOK/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used

I know you might be hesitant on buying used from Amazon, but from my experience usually they come in very good quality. But If you aren't interested in used headphones, if you can stretch your budget $20 I'd really recommend the sennheiser momentum 1.

I actually have the Sennheiser momentum 2 currently on-hand and it's sound is almost identical to the sennheiser momentum 1.

They are definitely perfect for EDM, decently comfortable, doesn't leak very much and perfect for portable use.

Trust me, get the Sennheiser Momentum 1 if you can. IMO they are much better than the M50x

Sennheiser Momentum Over-Ear Headphones fit all your criteria and they're currently just under $200 on Amazon.

Sennheiser also just announce the Momentum M2 which feature better pads and supposedly better sound. Those would be a bit more expensive though.

Edit: Nevermind, just noticed the old Momentums don't fold so only the M2 which do fold would fit all the criteria.

I would say these:

Sennheiser Momentum Headphone - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AZZNXOK/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_PZePub1FBSK75

You can call people who present objective facts, "haters," if you want. Here are objective facts. The Beats Pro Detox headphones are exactly the same as the regular Beats Pro headphones, in a different color. That means black Beats Pro headphones with the word "Detox" stitched into headband costs $100 USD more than an already absurdly priced, clampy, uncomfortable, headphone that has bloated bass.

That's the facts of the Beats Pro Detox.

The 2013 Studios sound good, and it won't cost you an extra $100 USD to get them in black.

Fuck Beats. Good headphone manufacturers make headphones with replaceable ear pads and metal reinforced headbands that don't snap. If you want bloated bass, buy a good headphone that doesn't force it upon you, and simply EQ it to your liking. Stop being ignorant.

You should check out either the

M-100

or

Sennheiser Momentum

I've used the M-100 before. It has crisp and clear highs and punchy bass. But unfortunately it gets a bit hot because of the memory foam and has low mids. Sometimes it gets uncomfortable.

I think the Sennheiser Momentum are really good, it's also not too comfortable for really long listening sessions. It has a neutral sound with great bass performance.

There's an over ear version as well. Generally regarded to sound better than the on ear.

Two good closed-back headphones are the Sennheiser Momentum Over-Ear and V-Moda M-100, you should check out reviews if you're interested.

Here ya go. Enjoy:

Sennheiser has a Beats competitor, 2 actually. One is called the [Urbanite,] (http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-Urbanite-XL-Over-Ear-Headphones/dp/B00M3NZKA2) which sound like ass but look pretty great. The other is called the [Momentum,] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AZZNXOK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1427837701&sr=8-1&keywords=momentum&dpPl=1&dpID=41PhwEt071L&ref=plSrch&pi=AC_SY200_QL40) which sound pretty good but don't look as good as the Urbanites IMO.

If you balanced headphones(Best for alt-rock): PSB M4U 1

If you want something in between: Sennheiser Momentums

If you want bassy headphones(Best for House & Dubstep): V-Moda

I say best for a genre above but that doesn't mean it is bad for the other genre. They are all fantastic headphones. I personally own the PSBs and listen to Daft Punk and have a blast with them

I love my MadDogs by Mr. Speakers

They are a mod of the Fostex T50RP, here's a good review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCIRlC_TSrQ

Some say they require an amp, I bought a small FiiO E12 which is small and portable, but it's not required to get them up to a good listening volume. I listen to everything from Rap/Hip-hop to EDM to Classical on these guys, had them 2 years. Might upgrade to the Alpha's soon.

If you want more of a lifestyle headphone, I'd go with something like the Sennheiser Momentum or the VMODA M100

People also rave about the Beyerdynamic DT 770, someone else will have to weigh in on those, I've never heard them. I hear they are on the bassier side, but not overwhelming. Not sure what Ohm option will suit you best, so do some research on that if you're interested in those cans.

Finally, if you want to go cheaper, bought these for my buddy last year to use as office cans, I'm pretty sure he just never takes them off. Very neutral sound, light, but durable, I love them but my ears stick out and touch the drivers which gets irritating after a while. Part of the reason I went with mad dogs is there's plenty of room for my Dumbo sized satellite dishes.

Good luck.

What kind of music does she like? I got my girlfriend a Grado SR325e for her birthday, used in like new condition (with a set of the larger G-Cush pads) they are a pretty great price to performance for headphones you can drive optimally out of a cell phone.

The Grado SR60e is good, I'd recommend you get G-Cush pads as well for comfort.

The Sennheiser Momentum isn't bad and comes with a lot of color options since you want something feminine.

The Sennheiser HD598 is a great price to performance but isn't very portable, and is open back.

A little more information may lend more ideas though.

Hi! I'm trying to decide between the Sennheiser Momentum and beyerdynamic DT 660. I'm open to other suggestions though! I've been looking at the DT 660 for a while, but I haven't had a chance to try them out. I feel like they are pretty close to what I'm looking for, but the Momentum feels like a safer choice.

• Budget - ~$200
  
  
• Source - iPhone / Macbook Air
  
  
• Requirements for Isolation - The more isolation the better. I'll be using these in mixed company, mostly at home around my girlfriend / family.
  
  
• Preferred Type of Headphone - Over-ear
  
  
• Preferred tonal balance - I'm looking for overall balance. Almost a flat response, but I would like some versatility (e.g. music, movies, ASMR, video games).
  
  
• Past headphones - I've been using the Sennheiser HD448 for the past five years, Apple EarPods for the past two years, and ADDIEMs for the past six months. I like the balance on the HD448 and ADDIEMs, but the EarPods are a little bass-heavy (aside from not being very clear).
  
  
• Preferred Music - I listen to film scores almost exclusively. Some of my favorites include 'How to Train Your Dragon' and 'Man of Steel.'

Thinking of buying these headphones, I just want to know if they leak any sound or if you can hear anything while wearing them.

New Momentums right at the cusp of your budget.

New V-Moda M100 also at 200 exactly.

If you wait a little bit these go on sale. I got the M-100 in 'Phantom Chrome' for 150 during Black Friday (I know... it's 6 mos. away).

If you check the used for V-Moda on Amazon, there are 'like new' and refurbished for 160 to 180, free shipping.

I would recommend that if you get V-Modas to fork out 20 bucks and get the XL pads. They make a big difference!

I'd suggest the Vmoda LP2's or Sennheiser Momentum 1.0 (around ear) given your budget.

I think the Momentum Over Ear is really low too.

Sennheiser Momentum for at the desk listening and whenever I feel like matching my headphones to my snapback

Sennheiser IE80 for everything else

ATH-M50x with a FiiO Q5 amp is the best portable sound I've heard and is my go-to for MiniDisc listening. I also use them at home with my NAD reciever for vinyl and MiniDisc deck listening. Sounds great.

However, it's a lot of stuff to carry around for portable listening. I'm swimming in a mess of wires. Also, the M50x sound pretty empty without an amp - I'd never recommend them without one.

IMO Sennheiser headphones sound good without amps - particularly the wired Momentums. The over ear ones are comfortable, offer nice bass (but don't sound good with amps). Because they're cushioned, they're a little bit noise blocking (no active tech though). The wireless ones have noise cancelling which I believe can be used wired as well, but they're super expensive.

Sennheiser Momentum

I'm strongly considering biting the bullet on these. I had shit quality headphones my whole life, got a pair of beat solo hds and was thoroughly impressed. I'm ready to take the next step up, but I don't want to make a dumb decision. These seem like really well-rounded headphones, and I mostly play games and watch netflix/youtube videos with the headset. I also saw this Sennheiser Momentum 2.0

But it says it's for Samsung Galaxy. I have a blackberry and an iphone for music. Do new iphones use different jacks? Does it have a 3.5 mm jack? I am retarded to this stuff, so please take pity on me right now

EDIT: I should also say, an old game called Riven is what's driving this decision. It sounded so crisp, so real and powerful that it made me realize how important audio is. Cyan is doing another game called Obduction, and I want to have a really good set of headphones for when that comes out.

DOUBLE EDIT: Also, someone said the DT880s have better soundstage. Are these better? Will I need an amp?

So the current price of the Sennheiser Momentums are $198. Are there better closed over-ear headphones out there around the same price range or is Momentum the best bang for my buck?

I listen mostly to stuff like this and this and would mostly use my laptop and phone as the source. I live in New Zealand but could just import stuff from the US easily. Cheers!

EDIT: Would the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO suit me better?

You will not find a better pair of headphones other than the Sennheiser Momentum Over ear for less than $200. Amazon Link These guys were about $360 when they were first released.

I haven't quite left the "new-toy" phase yet with my momentums so there's some bias, but they sound good for the price, power easily from portable devices, and have a really decent in-line mic and control pod. The cable doesn't have the typical braided appearance, but it is actually kevlar reinforced inside the insulation so it's strong as hell. If you like the look of braided cable, you can always look into sleeve kits and shrink wrap. It doesn't add much more strength than the kevlar already provides, but it's an easy/cheap mod to make something a little more your own.
