Did you get the manufacturing defect similar to mine here? http://www.head-fi.org/t/749606/sennheiser-momentum-2-0-and-wireless/2700#post_12418910 Though mine is mostly cosmetic, doesn't seem to affect the (overal ****ty) feel.

For some weird reason, when I connect the headphones to my Surface Pro 3 over USB, it sounds tinny. Tried it in both Groove music player and in Chrome and sounded poor. Definitely worse than over Bluetooth or aux. Also, the volume is very low over that mode and the controls don't work (even though the manual says they should). I know it's connected over USB because I disable Bluetooth.

Youre connected as a headset, not a headphone. Different protocol and compression.

 

[gbenrus25]

Thanks. So any idea how to connect as headphones in Windows 10? I set it as Default Device and set my speakers as Default Communication Device thinking that would ensure it was connected as headphones but that didn't fix the poor sound

 

[gbenrus25]

I should note that it does list it as "Headset Earphone" under playback devices

Is the battery replaceable - user / service centre?

Now to sell my old Momentums and my MDR-1A once these come out. Definitely getting these.

I hope you didn't do that. The original Momentum is better.

FYI my old Momentum (Gen1) cable jack isn't channeling the right - it's to do with the connection. I get need/idea behind the bayonet connection but that cord gets caught on everything!

That is a really old post. Yes I did do that, I had the faulty Wireless ones, sent them for repair. In the meantime bought the Oppo PM-3, never looked back. Go factory fresh new edition Momentum2 wireless, but they are still in box and I am trying to sell them.
 
Right now my line up is X2 open, PM3 closed/on-the-go, and I plan to get the Fostex TH-X00 massdrop edition today for semi-open work phones

that is a terrific line up. Considering PM3 or Audeze Sine myself

It doesn't sound the same to be honest. It was like they had bunched up the material and stitched it incorrectly, meaning one had what appeared to be a normal shape, where as the other one was skewed and therefor didn't sit correctly over the ear.

The Audeze Sine just looks amazing. I've always been an Audeze fanboy (even if I don't have any of their stuff ATM). 

 

[swanhnster7]

The PM3 look beautiful to me but too heavy to truly be portable, despite their form factor.

Can anyone compare the Momentum 2.0 ON EAR to the V-Moda XS?

On ear, XS > Momentum, IMO. They're more balanced but still powerful and fun.
