You could say that Sennheiser is getting a lot of "Momentum" in the polls

I laughed more than I should have at that.
 
I'm interested as long as I get a headphone in the end that matches my needs - with all this competition, ONE of these has to be that headphone.
 
I'm most excited about the MDR-1R/1RNC's, the MOMENTUM's, and the VTF-100's. Buying the VTF-100's first because I've heard good things, and because V-MODA has a test drive.

Maybe we should call these the "M Wars"?
 

1. MOMENTUM
2. M-100
3. M4U 1/2
4. MDR 1R/BT/NC

 
Scary how all of these headphones are coming out for the same market space in the same period of time. I fear for the stereotypical head-fi headphone collector, it'll cost quite a bit if a single person wants to compare all of 'em.

I love V-Moda and their products, but I'm on edge as to save for some Heir 3.Ai's, or those sweet, sweet Momentums. Dey so pretty.

It's a little crazy that Momentum will be out a week or two before the M-100 based on the most current information and we didn't know it existed two weeks ago.  Where did Sennheiser design these- Area 51?

Nah, V-MODA just does things openly, whereas the bigger companies like to be secretive. At least, as far as I can tell.

So, let the "M Wars" begin!

BRS- You might want to make room for these......  great name behind them (Yamaha), 50mm drivers, aluminum cups, etc.

I just called Yamaha and these are also coming out in September.  Coincidentally, I went to a psychic last week who said I would soon be maxing out my credit cards
 
While they unfortunately bear more of a resemblance to Beats than I would like, the sound is being billed as something to compete with every can on this list.

 

[BRSxIgnition]

I'll create a new version of this thread in 1 hour - between then and now, can someone please make a short list of the cans I've missed? It seems as if there's about 2 or 3 that I didn't know about.
 
Also @ Craigster75: They do look too much like Beats. As much as I like the logo, the design is too much like them to warrant any points for that. Sound may be a different matter - but we'll have to wait.

Fixed with new/missed cans. There's just too many!

Thanks for updating. One small note- Pro series does not say Yamaha and is the only headphone without a manufacturer or a name that someone would associate with a manufacturer.

The PRO 500 headphones deliver a sound so extraordinary – so real, so clear, so enveloping – it makes your pulse run faster and sends shivers down your spine. It transports you to another time and place.

 

 

 

[Craigster75]

I initially thought that was your first impression of the Pro 500, but is it safe to assume it is a modest claim from the manufacturer?
 

 

[Tangster]

Best value? The V-moda M100. The best? Probably the Momentum.

 

[frix]

I'm expecting the momentum to be better isolating than the m-100 because it has a real closed design.
But we know it's harder to compete in terms of sound quality with a closed design.
 
Can't wait for the release of both.
