For significantly less than the price of our top pick, the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 delivers terrific beauty, quality, comfort and portability. Although the Sennheiser lacks pricey planar magnetic technology (which reduces distortion), this closed-back, over-ear headphone still impresses critics with...

Fantastic sound quality; Gorgeous; sturdy build with two-year warranty; Lightweight and portable; Good sound isolation

Prices can vary a little depending on color; device support

The second part of our 3-part Sennheiser Momentum series headphones/earphones reviews, FunkyKit brings you the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 review. A big thank you to Sennheiser for sending these Momentum series headphones for our reviews, but

Hello head-fi community. Its' been a long time since I posted a review or even read anything sound related so bare with me here. These headphones were lent to me so they are not mine thus I have little time with them so I can't comment on all things such as durability and longevity.

- Sound good out of phone; enjoyable and fun sound; great looks; portable; good for traveling; removable cable; comfortable enough

Good sound but a little muffled at times

The Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 are a second attempt at full-size, style-driven headphones from Sennheiser. The basics haven't changed too much – sound quality, the look and most of the basic features are pretty much the same.

Less subtle looks than first generation; Sound more fun than outright accurate

Lively; hugely transparent sound; Class meets comfort; Pocket-friendly portability
