Hmmm. High points of the show?
I would hardly believe it for any BT Headphone, considering that the CanJam for how I have understood it is focused on very very very high level headphones, even customized ones and rarities, and the S1+ (which I have under test now) are good, but not soooooooo good to compete with those kind of cans.
Yeah, as a BT Headphones they are indeed, out of the box, as you described them, and I am surely very pleasantly surprised.
But I cannot believe they are more detailed than the Momentum. I could not compare them side to side with the Urbanite, but I remember the urbanite being more detailed and clear.
But I will see when I get the Momentum.
I was one of the reviewers who was blown away by the Stance S1+ phones. Prior to listening to those, I was a total BT headphone skeptic, and when I heard them the first day, I thought maybe my ears were fried from listening to so much gear that I wasn't hearing accurately again. I came back the second day, checked out the Pendulumics, then went to the Sennheiser booth to check out the BT Momentums, and went back. Hands down preferred the sound of the S1+. Sennheisers were too laid back and sounded mushy compared to the Pendulumics.
Now, did they compare to the Audeze LCD-XC cans, or the Enigmacoustic Dharmas, which were absolute stunners for me? Nope. But I was amazed by the sound, especially at the price point. Totally worth the $180 (CanJam discount) for a pair of office cans.
Also, after a couple weeks of using them, I have to say that I'm still loving the sound, and am really impressed by the BT connection. Yesterday, my officemates and I were checking out a new office space, separated from my MacBook by a structural wall and a good 25 feet, and the sound didn't waver for a second.
Still waiting for my speaker-audiophile friend's reaction. I shipped his Pendulumics up this week and he just got them yesterday, so I expect I'll hear back in a couple days whether he enjoys them as much as I do.
