Best sounding headphones I have had in my life, but the design is faulty and the cord snapped :( Be extra careful and gentle with them so they last long

Hey all! Today, I'm taking yet another step into my favourite headphone manufacturers catalog, Sennheiser! This time, I went to a slightly higher margin from my usual's and took a mid-high range set for a go, the Sennheiser Momentum in-ears.

Clearly defined sound stage over all frequencies; well rounded bass without overtaking the rest of the track

Mids rounded back; highs are a little too forward

I had recently lost my Sennheiser CX 3.00 in-ear headphones and went to replace them, I was informed of this new series that had “replaced” the CX 3.00 with superior sound quality. After a month of using these, and much discomfort, I found my old headphones which had been washed and found in one of my sweatshirt pockets. I then did a comprehensive comparison between the two pairs, and can certainly say that the comfort is much better on my old pair, but the sound quality is practically impossible to tell the difference in my view. Given their significant difference in price, I'd recommend avoiding this pair. If they were of similar comfort and from the buyer's point of view there are noticeable sound differences, then I would recommend you consider this pair.

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.

The depth and breadth of the sound field produced by these earbuds is incredible -- definitely the best earbuds I've ever tried. The free sennheiser app -- also allows you to customize and fine tune the equalization a bit to your liking. Would agree with other reviewers re: volume.

Comfort and fit Outstanding sound quality Connectivity EQ customization through app

volume control and track selection a bit tricky

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

This is my honest review of almost a year's usage. So I bought this set around November of 2016. Great sound, loved the feel. The cord had a very nice extra length to it. Sadly within the first 3 months of usage, which has been average, non-abusive usage, the earbuds began to regularly fall off of...

We found the Sennheiser Momentum headphone to be a surprising step away from the classic, level Sennheiser sound, if sadly toward the muted and tuneless thump of fashion 'phones popularised by Beats.

The Sennheiser Momentum on-ear headphones are accurate in delivering sound quality but it's not designed for long periods of usage. With a price tag of $230, it failed to live up to my expectations.

+ Accurate sound signature; + Old-fashioned retro design

- Pricey for an on-ear headphone; - Discomforting

With so many options in the premium headphone market, it can be easy to get lost in the background noise. Sennheiser's new Momentum headphones dispel the aural flotsam with a luxurious, lightweight design and the company's high-quality sound. At $349, these cans are pricey, but they're worth it.
