Description

A leading option among quality headphones.

Thanks to proprietary 18-? Neodym transducers, the new iteration of MOMENTUM headphones sound even more brilliant, clear and richly detailed than ever. Their powerful bass and astonishing upper end clarity make for a headphone experience unlike any other.

The angels are in the details
Love of detail is a main character trait of the Sennheiser MOMENTUM: With sliders made of stainless steel, and luxurious leather covering the soft, newly designed ear cushions, it is a stylish and elegant way to enjoy the music you love. Its sound and its finish with accurately placed seams make the MOMENTUM a delight for all senses.

Comfort and class
The ear cups of the new MOMENTUM are attached to high-end ball joints running steplessly in collapsible sliders made of brushed stainless steel. The individual adjustment to the head is important for both comfort and sound. And with its newly designed ear cups, the MOMENTUM offers even more wearing comfort.

Connectivity
With its low profile the angled 3.5-mm stereo jack plug is optimized for the use on mobile devices. Fitted with jack plugs on both ends, the cable is completely detachable and can be replaced if necessary.

Aesthetic and mobile
The integrated in-line remote comfortably lets you control phone calls, music, and volume. Furthermore, it supports Apple devices like iPod, iPhone, and iPad as well as Android tablets and smartphones.

Critic Reviews

Sennheiser Momentum review: Luxurious headphones worth the high-end price - CNET

cnet.com

Sennheiser's Momentum headphones are a luxurious choice for audiophiles, offering exceptional sound clarity and build quality. With a sleek design and comfortable fit, they stand out from the bass-heavy competition. However, they come at a steep price and don't fold flat for easy storage. Despite minor comfort quirks, they deliver crisp, clear audio that impresses across music genres, though bass enthusiasts may crave more oomph. Overall, they're among the best in their price range, perfect for those valuing sound accuracy over bass dominance.

Sound good quieter at higher frequensies. Can cause pain for people with large ears.

Strong highs; warm mids; lacking in the punch of the bass (gets distorted at higher volumes); small form factor means uncomfortable for people with large or protruding ears

Great design, but weak accuracy - basses are overdriven and fake, no mids at all. No reason for pro usage, even iphone earphones are preferred instead of this for listening to music on the road..

billtrantos

Nothing more to ask from headphones.

Amazing sound quality, great materials and pretty comfortable as well. I don't know what else can you ask from headphones of any price range.

Epitomizes the Sennheiser veil

Easy to listen to over extended periods of time but has absolutely no neutrality (has that infamous Sennheiser veil). A step up from the Beat Pros though (if that means anything)... =P

djresmo3

raw sound and elegant design for all genres
