I have the Momentum 2.0 and a Beoplay H6. Out of the 2, Momentum is not as detailed, not as fast, not good with imaging, coloured, and not comfortable in comparison. Its done almost 150 hours, and I noticed only a change after the first 10 hours, and then its stayed the same. I am packing the Momentum right now,(while writing this post) and it will be on the way back to Amazon tomorrow. If you are in Europe, you can look into the the Beoplay H6, which currently retails in Amazon for 159€. (My second pair for my wife is on the way right now, we both found H6 superior in every ways on to the Momentum. And momentum is more expensive. I tried my level best to convince myself, about it. But its too much coloured for my(our) likings. I don't about the Sony though!

Beoplay isn't available in my country, maybe I will go and try the both headphones, thanks for your reply about momentum.

you can look for other options in open back if sound alone is the priority. I must say, the xduoo sounds really neutral, that a neutral pair would really let you know how it renders the sound. If momentum was just 100€, i would have recommended. For me, that's overpriced for that sound. I had a similar sound with better textures on my older AKG k551, and I must say, that is a better headphone in every way. I appreciate the effort done by Sennheiser to make it premium, but it fails imo. The Earpads is an example. The older pair had a shallow one which actually blended with the rest of the styling. This one has thick ones, which looks like it's modded by a geek. (Though they are comfortable, and they isolate well) the momentum's top band has very thin layer of leather, and sometimes I felt there is very little cushioning(and it pains occasionally). The folding hinge is another funny thing. You need to be really careful while opening that, as it touches the Earpads of the other ear if you are not careful. I suspect, little carelessness can get your Earpads torn that way. . I had a listen to the Sony from a store some weeks back, but I don't remember it to be anything special , I think if money permits the Ath m70x would be a good match as its neutral. If you like colored warm , thick sound with a roll of on the treble you can opt for the momentum still. Momentum 1.0 had this thin Earpads which was really uncomfortable. So, by any ways if you were considering that, I suggest you to stay away from it. I had the on ear 1.0 for 1 year too, and it was the worst money I put into a headphone earlier.

the AKG is too big for me, I have small ears and I need an overear that can be portable, too . But i'll consider the AKG if the sony and momentum sound really bad (I think it won't happen :D ).thanks for your reply :)
and is the sony headphones pair well with xduoo ?? Or they just pair well with sony daps like a25 or zx100?
