Well I've owned a pair of Urbanite XLs for 2 years now and they've held up really well. The sound is still as good as it was on the day I bought them if not better after being broken in. I have it paired with a Topping NX2 amp and a Asus Xonar DGX 5.1 so it's a fairly standard setup. It's the...

I was thinking that. I read that a DAC/amp combo would only use the Amp part on a phone. How do I bypass the phones amp altogether?

So last week my pair of Urbanites arrived after deciding on them. Now I use it for both my computer and iPhone 5. They are better than the previous pair I had but I think they could sound much better with a dedicated amp. Obviously my iPhone 5 is kinda crappy at delivering good audio despite...

Yes the Urbanite XL is actually pretty comfortable, for me anyway. The on ear version isn't comfortable because of the hard clamping force it gives. No I wouldn't say it has a similar SQ to the momentum. The urbanite just feels more energized and overall a lot more fun to listen to. The bass is...

I also got the chance to try out the Momentum 1.0 in a store along with Urbanite XL and on ear. I still don't like the momentum 1.0 but I really liked the urbanite more than the momentum's. They just have a much more fun sounding experience to them.

So I am looking for a replacement cable without inline controls that will work with the Sennheiser Urbanite XL's. I have checked amazon.co.uk and .de but have none that I need. Ebay has one but it's from china and will take about a month to get here... Basically my sound card does not work well...

It does have decent sound but there is simply no sparkle to them. In songs like "Magic" by Coldplay like I mentioned above the bass is there in the background just droning away ruining the song. It's that bass heavy that when I put on a bass test dubstep song they rattle and vibrate on my head lol.

Well I'm not coming from a pair of those stock earbuds from Apple. I have been listening to them for a while since Thursday and I simply can't enjoy them that much. Which is unfortunate because they are the perfect size and decent comfort for both home and portable use.

I've been unfortunate with headphones so far.. The first high end pair I bought had bad build quality and now these don't sound that great. It's hard to buy them online as everyone says their amazing and "recommends" them etc. I'm gonna try and listen to some headphones before buying now.

So last Thursday I received my pair of Momentum 2.0 ivory in the post. I bought them to use both at home and taking out, laying in bed etc. Now after a few days of testing them here is my thoughts:   Packaging and accessories:  It comes in a nice box and presentation. The two carrying cases...

So I bought the 2.0 model and of course there is no cable without inline controls, and this causes audio problems on my sound card. It doesn't even work on my onboard audio either. I previously had audio problems on my computer when I used the inline cable on my PSB M4U 1's, and was fine when I...

Yeah it would seem so. I will order a new cable for it and see how it works. If it doesn't work I might have to send them back. I'm liking them so far. Very stylish, also some of the best build quality and craftsmanship I've seen on a pair of headphones. My PSBs build quality was garbage which...

I previously had a pair of PSB M4U 1's. I think when I used the cable with the inline controls on my computer the audio sounded bad, but when I switched the cable it sounded better.

Yes it's pushed in all the way, still bad audio quality. 

No I do not have a cable that is 2.5mm to 3.5mm without inline controls. Sennheiser was too cheap to include a second cable without inline, but they did on the 1.0 model. Should I buy an aftermarket cable? I've looked at some cables but those are for the 1.0 model, I'm assuming they will work...
