With the trend for calling smaller versions of products, "minis," you'd think Sennheiser would have called the more compact version of its excellent Momentum headphone the Mini Momentum. But it decided to go with the more straightforward Momentum On-Ear because, well, it's an on-ear model. And while its not quite as swanky as the step-up over-the-ear Momentum, it, too, has a slick modern retro look and comes in several color options.
The Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear may not fully match the larger Momentum's excellent sonics, but it gets you 80 percent of the way there.
The Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear is a very good sounding on-ear headphone that has a eye-catching modern retro design, is well-built, and comes with a nice carrying case and a second headphone cable with an Apple-friendly integrated remote and microphone for making cell-phone calls.
Headphones are fairly compact but don't fold up or fold flat; may not be quite comfortable enough for some users.
