Hello,
I had to return my beautiful Sennheiser Momentum's as I found the cups to be quite uncomfortable as my ears constantly struggled to fit inside (they managed to fit after a while, but any more than hour of use was pretty uncomfortable). To add to that the case was unreasonably gigantic and the sound, while fantastic, was a bit too dark and un-open (I'm not an audiophile so I'm not sure how to say this, but I'd prefer a larger soundstage).
Recently I checked out the BeoPlay H6 at the B&O store and fell in love with the design (specifically the light brown) and the comfort. While I didn't find the sound as striking as the Momentums, I appreciated how balanced they were. While I'd prefer something a little more exciting, I'm interested to hear your guys's thoughts on these.
I haven't tried the B&W P7 before but I love the look the P3 and I'm hearing some very positive impressions. So if any of you can provide an opinion on these that would be awesome.
So with regards to comfort, style, portability, and sound which of these two would be the best option? My budget is around $400 so if you guys have any other suggestions or input I'd really appreciate it.
If it helps my ears are about 60-ish mm. I listen to everything from rock, pop, electronic, hip-hop, alternative, folk, r&b etc usually at itunes/320(if from cd) quality. I'll mostly be listening ampless from an iPhone 5S.
Thank you!!
Oh and as a sidenote the Momentums are really really fantastic headphones they just didn't vibe well with my ears.
