Thanks Jude for the nice video.

What great timing for me.... I purchased a set of Momentums about 5-weeks ago and have been very happy with them.  
 
I like how Sennheiser has seen the need to explore the 'looks' of mid-tier headphones to help compete against the likes of Beats, Monster, DNA, etc.  Personally I think those manufacturers will find their looks get dated very quickly and will have to constantly strive to out-do themselves and their competitors.
 
Sennheiser has taken a far less aggressive approach, which I fully appreciate.  There is definitely an eye for style for the Momentum and Momentum On Ear brands, but they look adult.  Beats and the others look too much like toys... and like they are trying to hard... screaming "look at me... look at me!"

Even though I own a bunch of Sennheiser gear and bought my HD-600 more than a decade ago, I had no idea that Sennheiser is family owned. Makes me feel even better about all of my purchases from them.

Jude, are the video features no longer available for download as a podcast? I checked on Itunes and they are no longer around.

I tried to squeeze the product roadmap for the next two years out of him, but he wasn't having it.

Due to upload quotas to that service, videos put on YouTube are sometimes delayed, but they will be uploaded there.

Oh OK, Jude..... not on Itunes any longer? I used to love downloading them to the Ipad!! (I'd take them away with me when away from home, touring!!!) Seen them all now though!!

Sorry, iancraig10, I just re-read my previous post, and it wasn't very clear. The service we use to host our videos for iTunes downloads has an upload quota, which we usually hit each month. As the quota clears, we upload more videos to it; so, though delayed, all of our videos eventually make it to iTunes.
 
Sorry for being unclear (and sorry for the delayed uploads).

Should've asked him about the next affordable Orpheus or at least another e-stat from Sennheiser.

Nice interview, thanks!

Nice interview Jude. Never thought I'd say thus but the HD800 has seduced me in a way I never thought possible (and by that I mean the detail that it has to offer). Kudos to Senn.

I like this guy, supporting Sennheiser with my most expensive headphones ive ever bought (CX 215

)
