Well, Jude has mentioned before that he didn't post too many impressions if he didn't like 'x'/'y' headphones (or something like that)...
 

oh no... I really had high hopes for this headphone. I'm not giving up hope yet, jude might post some impressions later on.

I'm sorry, guys. I've simply been busier at work and with 2012 CanJam @ RMAF than I anticipated. And, today (all day), Sony's Naotaka Tsunoda is visiting my office (so today won't be the day I post it). Here's my promise: Tomorrow I'll finish and post my impressions of the Sennheiser MOMENTUM. Tomorrow. I promise.
 
And, yes, I like it.

Hi Jude, will you do a comparison with the Z-1k?

Always good to hear from Jude.

Oh, hell yeah. Can't wait to read the full impressions. If they're good I think I might just have to drop three fiddy on these badboys. I contacted Sennheiser USA yesterday about the drivers and I got an email back saying it was a bit different from the 280/380s (which I had mentioned use the same driver) and that they've been engineered to work with less powerful devices, hence the 18 ohm impedance. I replied, asking if they were more like the HD 25-1 II, or if they use a larger driver, and I got another reply saying they can't offer those details right now, as the headphones were just recently announced. Then he pointed me to the tech specs page. *sigh* Oh well.

Confirmed by Sennheiser here in earlier posts- NOT the same driver as HD25/Amperior

I said "like" the HD25.

Right, it is a different driver in a completely different housing, so it should have its own sound that is different than the HD25.

 

[roma101]

There can be headphones with different drivers and housings but that can have a similar signature (eg: HD25 and ES10 - they don't sound the same obviously but they have a similar aggressive sound sig. Another example: SRH-940 and KNS-8400).

I'm really, really hoping for neutral. I'm really, really skeptical. 
 
May the bass not bleed into the mids!

X2 The Amperior had a bit too much bass for my taste.

Has a release date ben set for the Momentum? I can't wait to hear from you Jude.

That's good to hear. Well, bad, but it makes me feel better not owning it. I just have an easier time forgiving any flaw rather than recessed mids...which besides the comfort was the unforgivable flaw of the HD251ii. Here is really hoping for a HD600/650ish sound for the Momentum. I'll place an order today if Jude really points us that way!

Amperior had too much bass?  Isn't it the same driver as the HD25's?  I had the HD25-ii and the bass was almost non existent and the highs were a bit too much for me.  Do the HD25-11 and Amperior sound a like since it has the same driver but different housing?
