The complaint about the low impedance is baseless, because these headphones are really designed to be used amp-less with iPods and iPhones and iPads and Android phones, as well as laptops from the on-board.
Sennheiser never really marketed to Momentum as Hi-Fi, did they? lol
Anyway, while in the minority, I truly wish Sennheiser released a pair of replacement pads that were larger in inner dimensions (at least close to something like the HD558/598 inner dimensions), perhaps deeper and more plush, and with the same amazing feeling leathers or Alcantara like the on-ear version.
I'd buy them even if they were priced 50-60 dollars. I think a lot of Momentum owners would agree, since the Momentum over-ear headphones just sound so damn good. Things like NAD HP50 or Focal Spirit Professional are more neutral, but not nearly as fun and easy to listen to.
There is currently a rumour for a larger Momentum planned for 2015. I mean, Sennheiser has to expand the lineup somehow. However, the earpads of the new version are said to be incompatible with the current over-ear version. Ugh ... XD
