looking for a momentum
 

Personally I'd prefer the 780 to the warmer Senns, but with the Studio V Treble Monster as a source... I see why you're looking for a Momentum! As much as I love the Ultrasones, they can be quite piercing with the "wrong" combination of source and material.

To my ears, adding velour pads cuts down on some of the "piercing-ness" ,  although it also slightly softens the bass impact. A worthy trade-off most of the time though.

Modding Ultrasones is an artform - the Kees Mod kan help quite a bit as well.
