    You can never go wrong with Sennhesier

    • Written by from Verdun

    II have been looking for the perfect pair of headphones for the past two months. I have tried over 20 pairs of headphones. Among all the headphones I have tried, in terms of overall quality, there are two that really stand out, one is Harman & Kardon CL, the other is Sennheiser's momentum.

    If you don’t wear glasses, I would strongly suggest Harman & Kardon, because its sound quality is absolutely superb. However, since it's on-ear, and it's extremely uncomfortable when you wear for longer periods of time. The headphone presses against the glasses, it constantly gives me a headache. Momentum, on the other hand, doesn't have that problem. Since its over-ear, it covers your ear completely and doesn't presses against your glasses. And its leather ear cups are really comfortable for longer listening.

    When you look for a pair of headphone, there are several important factors you need to take into account. Sound quality, comfortability, design, etc. After trying so many pairs of headphones, I realized you can't have it all, you have to prioritize which factors are important to you. Sound quality, you can never go wrong with German engineering, Sennheiser is well known for its top notch sound quality, and they proved it again with Momentum. Comfortability, the leather ear cups are extremely comfortable, and its light weight is ideal for traveling and commuting. Design, I would use elegant and low-key to describe Momentum. Noise-isolating, it doesn’t have noise-cancelling like some advertisements say, its over-the-ear design is ideal for noise-isolating. And I think it does a good job blocking out most of the noise, but don’t expect it to be like Bose QC 15. Portability, the headphone itself cannot be folded and have to be included in a giant but secure carrying case. That doesn’t really bother me, but it could affect some people.     …More

    Absolutely Fantastic

    • Written by from 강남구

    I just purchased Momentum headphones from my local apple store, and they sound absolutely fantastic. The bass is rich and the clarity of the audio is superb. Seriously, when I compared this to my brother's Beats Pro, Sennheiser sounded much better. The comfortability is also ever lasting since the ear cups are made out of luxurious leather.
    The sound isn't tedious at all and you will enjoy more and more as you listen to your music through this headphone. I'm impressed Sennheiser.     …More

    best 350$ headphones

    • Written by from richmond hill

    I had a hard time deciding between these and the Amperior, but each one is so unique that they are very different yet both very amazing headphones.

    These ones have a bit less presence in treble and base compared to Amperior but they provide a more open and wide sound; they are aslo around the ear (partial) as compared to on ear. at 350 Canadian $ you could not get a better headphone.     …More

    Okay, but not great

    • Written by from Bethesda

    I bought these headphones online because they weren't available for screening at my local Apple store. I've had Sennheiser products in the past and they are generally excellent products. I must say, however, that I was disappointed with this model. Despite what previous reviewers have said, I did not find the clarity that impressive and the bass was not particularly tight. I would have given the Momentums a 4-star rating if they cost $200, but for this price, I expected more. …More

    The perfect headphone

    • Written by from Toronto

    The travel case is bulky, but aside from that, these sound amazing -- not bass heavy, not high heavy, just the right balance -- and also look amazing. Plus (so far) the construction seems much more solid than some of their peers. Really could not ask for a better set of cans. …More

    Amazing

    • Written by from SF

    Is there anything more boring than a review of a pair of headphones? I've read many in my pursuit for the perfect pair. In the end I had to rely on a musician friend who recommend Momentum. You might want to pay over $350 for phones but I really don't understand why you would. Great design, great sound...end of story. Buy them. …More

    Answer

    Both headphones sound really great however the Momentums offer a slightly better soundstage due to being around the ear headphones instead of on the ear like the P5s. Personally I prefer the P5s as I find them more comfortable and I really like the design. The Momentums are comfortable too they just don't fit my head as nicely as the p5s. You really can't go wrong with either pair. …More
