Just checking, is anyone hearing any difference between the iPhone cable and the stock cable provided?

got mine today. ah, am i wearing my hd439? sound is exactly the same. sennheiser must be kidding! there is absolutely no difference except the he439 is comfortable and the momentum is not. never say never, but i guess it will be my last sennheiser for a longtime. its not bad, but hey, you can get the same sound for 60 bucks. do not think, the fancy leather style is worth 5 times the price.
no one has won a blind test yet
what do you guess?
The simplicity of the design and Senn's sound signature brought me to momentum as well.
That's just my quick, first feeling, thoughts from one hour shop encounter, so I don't have much experience with them but I trust my guts.
I feed them from Note2> flac 16/44>neutron MP> headphone OR usb audio out> otg usb> Fiio E7 dac> Fiio E7 amp> headphone.
So went to store yesterday, spend one hour testing new momemtum and amperior and, comparing directly to my old DT150, just wasn't 100 % sure about them, everything was there but I guess was just looking for something else in sq, they both great phones and luckily the had just display once...
I wanted momentum as a portable and as much I love the design and sound, I don't like cable very much so will replace it and had a feeling that in those moments when I can't listen to them I couldn't wear them on my neck much, they are still on bigger side for portable use, to beauty to stuff them to the bag and very nice protector case is very big as well.
For home use their nice leather pads are soft and fit my ears but there is very little space so ears might get warm and possibly sweaty in prolonged home use.
I know they are beauty and simple design is best I've seen so far
but I had my doubts, probably, for the price high expectations as well....
Then my uncle came to replace apple ear buds which just can't stay in his ears. I suggest him over ears instead of buds and only in store with apple control were Sennheiser PX100IIi.
OMG what a gem of a phone... in first minute they spoke to me. I dare to say that this fresh, from the box, not burned in PX100IIi, moved me more then Momentums Amperiors... all in first minute no doubts and for 80euro with iphone controls and 26GBP !!!!!! on amazon.co.uk without controls... these are my portables now together with Heirs IEM 5.0.
They drivers fold flat so I can't fell it on my neck, great on ears, sound is miracle for the price, and you can fold them to fit small sunglasses case for transport.
Lads help me on that one as I seems to not trust my ears now! Does any one compared A to B Momentum with PX100II??
Mad Dogs vs Momentum for home use ??
A very sexy pair of cans.
It has me considering the age old question on whether I should let go of my k702s since I like the Sennheiser house sound. That or move towards the HD650.
Those three are all very different and I wouldn't compare a portable closed can anywhere near the sound that comes from either the K702 or HD650. They are simply in a different class beyond anything the Momentum could ever do. That being said, the Momentum is a decent can if you can find it for the right price. Definitely keep the K702, though.
Oh definitely. I'm acutely aware of that.
I just don't use cans much though to be fair. I was under the brief impression (without reading too much), that the Momentums bear some semblance to the HD598/600/650. I could be completely wrong on this mind.
I do like the 702s. But just don't see the use for them (too much) in my current setup. Perhaps something to just hold onto
