Srs bzns.
All opinions are valid tbh.

Listened to these straight out the box at a local HiFi store and they totally wowed me. I haven't really listened to them for very long and neither did much A/B-ing but I want them, I wan them very badly! They sort of reminded me of unveiled Hd600's.
Great time to buy a pair. $230 or less on eBay and other places.
I've read most of this thread, I've seen most of the youtube reviews, everyone seems to love them.
I went to actually audition today (they had them at the NCIX store in downtown Vancouver) and all I got to say is... "really?"
I don't mean to put down anyone loving these headphones, but I just don't understand "why" everyone been saying such good things about them. Sure they don't sound bad, but its kind of a boring sounding headphone with not much special about its sound signature. I've listened to them through my Fiio X3 with FLAC files and I honestly thought the other lower end Sennheiser headphones there sounded better than the momentum at a much cheaper price.
Haha, well that's exactly what I thought when I auditioned the HD800 for the first time (and every single time thereafter). Personal taste, I actually believe it does sound better than the HD 6X0's. I think they sound very smooth yet refined and detailed. Really interested in trying out that Fiio X3 btw...
I'd doubt they are 18 Ohms, but nevermind that.
