Yes, yes they are!   The cable with the inline remote is the ridiculously expensive one, at almost the price of a new Momentum On-Ear 1.0 on Amazon.

LIttle difference in sound quality IMO. Especially between BT and USB DAC mode. The main difference I noticed with the wired (non-active mode) and BT mode was that the BT mode had a much wider soundstage. Maybe a bit more controlled bass, but as far as I know, not significant of a change.

I'm on iOS still for my portable audio. I've taken a look at Sound Focus but it hasnt been that helpful. Hmm, maybe one day I'll take a shot at that app but I'm not ready to spend three bucks on an app yet!

More power to you guys if it does indeed sound better to you. After all, this is mostly subjective! I might give EQ'ing another chance now, hopefully with a program that lets me choose which frequencies rather than the iOS ones.

Not sure about your first issue, but just turn off the headphones to turn off the noise cancelling.

Use your M2 without the V4A enhancement; without any enhancement at all actually. Make sure your audio is also of good quality/mastering, then report back here. Someone said the Momentum cans sucked compared to some Philips cans (~$80 I believe), but they sampled with Imagine Dragons' Night...

Is this high volume on the headphones, or high volume on the source, or both?

Got my cans in the mail today. Bluetooth issues? Iffy. They stutter sometimes when there is interference. Using my Macbook Air 2014 and iOS8.0.1 Jailbroken iPhone 6 as sources. Noise cancellation doesn't "lose track" like some users here. Whenever I have a bit of stuttering with my phone, it's...

Heads up, M2 Wireless is back in stock on Amazon with Amazon Prime shipping (Sold by Amazon!)

Screw it, just went for it. Should be 3 in stock now!

No way, with Amazon Prime shipping? The only time I can think of where I didn't notice it was during an hour of lecture. There's a seller but with only 64 ratings, although mostly positive. Not sure whether I should jump for it or not

Seriously, I'm dying to buy a set right now, but back ordered until May to July? That's insane. The problems of dropping connection is also concerning, but there is also a large group of buyers that have no problem. Also, Crutchfield is expecting to restock by April 15 but no promises. I'm...

Called up one of their authorised retailers and said they were on back order from May to July as well. Finally got in contact with Sennheiser and they said there's a delay in their factories and gave the same time frame. Maybe they're holding out on the next batch for feedback on the current...

Of course it sounds worse, the Momentum is more revealing than the Stetch. Even mid fi headphones will reveal the poor recording of that album. It's generally agreed that that album was poorly mixed, almost like listening through a brick wall. Go demo with better produced tracks before you make...
