Just bought these in new condition at HALF the retail price
, after recently started reading about them, paid just 150 euros for them... what a finding!
As soon as I got them to work, 2 colleagues tried them, and they both ordered a set in 5 minutes time!
My previous reference as a "quality" everyday set of headphones, were my venerable Koss Porta Pro's, that I continue in love with. But of course, the Momentum are in a total different league.
I'm in the process of finding a decent amplification to them, I have a Samsung Galaxy Express phone and a Nexus 7 tablet, and while they were perfect for driving the Koss, in the case of the Momentum they simply don't deliver the power they need. I already tried them on a friends setup - iPod Classic + Fiio E11 - and it's a whole new world, better sound stage, and better response all over the frequency range.
My head is spinning around Fiio E17, E11, E18, E12, portable DAP as the iPod Classic, Sony Walkmans, Fiio X3... the offer is big, and I'm just looking for that perfect setup.
Can't recommend these phones enough. Buy them, drive them in the right way, and you will be delighted. Just don't expect that to happen with your 100$ phone...
