The Momentum In-Ears are peculiar earphones that can sound too bright on some genres, and just right on others, all while serving up robust bass response. If you're looking for a strong bass response, but perhaps something a bit less bright, consider the B&W C5 Series 2 or the Bose Freestyle .

Powerful audio performance with robust bass response and bright highs; Lightweight, elegant design; Excellent carrying case

Can be too bright at times; Only comes with two pairs of eartips

I own a pair of Momentum Over-ears and i've always loved them. When i saw this in-ear model coming out I had to get it right away.

The design is great and the is definetly the sennheiser-quality

I waited a bit more depth from the sound but it's great when one gets used to it

Fantastic product! You definitely get what you pay for with Sennheiser. The sound is crisp and clear at all times, no matter what and it's noise cancelling is excellent. Perfect for any situation, as they are light. Easily the best headphones I have bought.

The Momentum is such a perfect name for this headphone. As Sennheiser's first consumer oriented upper tier headphone it has done just about everything right and I'm sure it is the first of many headphones Sennheiser makes primarily targeted at the mainstream consumer.

My first go at Sennheiser Momentum headphones has gone without a single hitch. The Momentum offer an attractive alternative to either the Beats audio range or pretty much anything else on the market at the moment.

As I mentioned earlier in this review, I have tried out and owned a lot of different headphones and earphones over the years. I'm not a full-on audiophile, but I do love good, clean sound. I'd much rather have accurate and well-balanced sound than brain shaking bass. Not that bass is a bad thing.

Package and case are stellar; Super comfortable; Two cables - one for Apple products; one for everything else; Fantastic clarity and overall well-balanced sound; Black leather & red stitching; Stainless steel; Appear and feel quite durable

A bit expensive

If you've stepped into an audio store of any kind, or the headphone section of a big box store, you know the name Sennheiser. The first "real" headphones I bought were Sennheisers. I used them until the pleather on the cups cracked and started sticking to my ears (they were on-ears).

Build quality and aesthetics; Sound quality; Angle cable end

Overly large case; Small earcups

Sennheiser has a long, established history of producing quality audio products and its MOMENTUM over-ear headphones are no exception. Wrapped in a stylish, minimalist design, the Sennheiser MOMENTUM headphones boast serious audio and all-day comfort.

Expensive

Sennheiser has long been a fixture in the professional audio and high-end audiophile market. I've used my Sennheiser HD 595 and HD 600 Open Dynamic headphones for many applications - in the studio for reference monitoring, for sound quality consulting, and for audio forensics.

The Sennheiser Momentum Black headphones offer a bloated bass-focused sound. Read our Sennheiser Momentum Black review to find out more.
