Hey guys and girls
I bought myself the sennheiser momentum wireless over ears June 18th 2015 from john Lewis in Welwyn garden city in the UK for £379.00 and paid an extra £30 for 3years accidental damage ( accidents happen ) not to mention 90 day returns policy ( NICE
Now I compared a few bluetooths previously before purchase and some wired also when in London after making my way around a few shops to try them all, then ended up buying them on the date above:
Wireless beats all of them ( sound flappy on bass but loud and just something missing )
Urbanites ( bit to big and tinny )
Own a pair of sennheiser mm550-x headband broke though ( great but to quiet and not quite enough bass )
Wired momentums ( again great but was just missing something )
Sennheiser Wireless 2.0 momentum ( up there with over ear 2.0 but missing the effortlessness of over ear )
And by co-incidence tried the wireless momentums last ( display model pair )
Straight out the box, I have to admit I was convincing myself they sounded good ( probably due to the hype ) but they were just ok, no better than my mm550-x but good ( thinking to myself £379 not cheap ) but I know you need to run headphone in ( so I placed them on a kitchen roll as if it were a head and let them play over night ( like an excited boy I rushed to listen to them as soon as I woke.
Put simply the sound was just nice, no other way to put it really, it just ticked the boxes.
It's like the do everything effortlessly but yet sound like your in the music, if you know what I mean, almost like the music is in your head, similar kind of to surround sound.
Plenty of detail, bass, highs and lows. Give them a not so great recording they sound good but you hear it's not so good, but give them a great recording and song they will just about match most wired headphones out there ( remember they are bluetooth which a lot of people forget. Got admit for detail I love the sennheiser hd 25 ll ( they just look ugly ).
No lie for about a week I was up till 3-4am listening to all my songs again just enjoying them effortlessly doing what they do ( play music well with no wires ) actually forgetting at that time in the morning my tv with surround sound was on loud but due to the Active Noise Cancelling = A.N.C I forgot haha.
( right I'll stop going on and shorten it )
I'm no audiophile but one thing I do have is an attention to detail and quality sound:
They sound great:
A.N.C very very well ( I work in a gym and train with them on and can't hear anything else ( GREAT )
They are loud enough ( actually louder than I thought they'd be:
And perform effortlessly ( you'll see what I mean when you listen to them )
Range is more than 10meters and have experienced no drop out yet, like everyone else:
And you just appreciate them more, the more you use them, if it makes sense, rather than just 5 hours or 10:
Last the 22hours if not longer as have tested:
Liking the woman's voice powering off/on, battery life left
Making and receiving calls good as expected too.
MY CONCLUSION:
Awesome pair of wireless over ear headphones which sound wired.. Not cheap but I do not regret paying out for them at all. ( just run them in first and use them naturally rather than look for fault and you'll absolutely love them as they sound awesome.
