Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear Headphones (Apple iOS, Red)

Ideal user: The senheiser M2 IEi Mometum In-Ear Niose Blocking Ear Canal Phones is ideal for people who seeks high quality but affordable in ear headphone, especially for electronic music fans. Also, this product is attracted to young adults for fashion appearance. Evaluation ... Show More

Lovely!
Lovely: lovely construction, lovely materials, and just simply lovely sound. Other reviews will note that if you have big Dumbo ears, these headphones may not fit. I don't have big elephant ears, and these do just barely fit over my ears. But they fit, and they are comfortable. Also, they are tight enough to stay where you put them, but not so tight that if you wear glasses (as I do) that it's going to press them against your head and hurt. Well.... Show More

Very good headphones
I used to be in the recording business and I've owned more headphones than I can count in the past 45+ years - some great, some not so great. Before I bought these phones I read many reviews and decided to give them a try. I had been and still am using a pair of Beyer DT-1350's. I mainly listen to jazz and classical with some rock. To my ears the Sennheisers are more defined and have a stronger bass response. The Beyers are very neutral, but bala... Show More

Great sound, perilously long cable
First things first, I love the remote. There aren't many Android-compatible, three-button remotes out there. That was one of the main reasons I bought these. They're a big step up from the buds Samsung bundled with the Galaxy S7. Like many consumer headphones and IEMs, these offer a slight bass bump - it also depends on your music, how these fit in your ear canal, and any EQ on your source device. But I like the sound of these, and they do a dece... Show More

Rush/Last Minute Purchases are always a mistake
I purchased these, not through B&H but at an airport, as I realized I'd left mine behind. I decided to spring for a nicer pair (they were $ at the airport... OUCH) and unfortunately I do not like them (nor can I not return them). The good is that they sound great. Loud, clear and a nice range...as would be expected from the brand,The bad is the fit. The set comes with two different in-ear fitting sizes, which is pretty standard, but neither work ... Show More

For what they are, they're perfect.
I've only used these for traveling so far paired with my iPad 3 listening to Apple Lossless and AIFF music files. Absolutely happy as I can be with their neutral clarity, tight accurate bass, crystalline highs, appearance, light weight and comfort. I am a home audiophile guy and not an experienced headphone hobbyist, FYI. Been wearing these for many many hours at a time on international flights, on the go in Metros, Undergrounds, trains, etc. I'v... Show More

Superb Quality and Sound but Uncomfortab
I was excited to get these. My @ had both the on-ear and around-ear on display. I only wanted the around-ear but like others have said, the earcups are too small for many people. They covered all but about a quarter-inch of my ears so they were more like on-ear. The sound was well-balanced, not heavy like Beats and less bassy than Bose SoundTrues. The leather pads were beautiful. I called Sennheiser to ask if they were going to be changing the pa... Show More

Cheap Product
I bought the Sennheiser headphones because the guy at the store recommended them to me over the Bose soundsport, since he said that he heard of more issues with the quality of Bose products and them breaking. About two and a half weeks since buying these, the portion of the wire closest to the headphone jack split open. The headphones still work, but i'm scared to use them, especially outside, because I don't want the internals to get exposed to ... Show More

iPhone bass rocks w/ Sennheiser Momentum
This is my third pair of Sennheiser headphones (1 for pc, 1 for wireless movies/tv in condo to keep noise levels low, and this pair). They make quality audio equipment and the Momentum on-ear headphones are no exception. I love the deep bass and sound quality these generate and the fact that I can use them with not only my iPhone due to the built-in mic but also my other entertainment devices is really sweet. As others have noted, if you have a l... Show More

A good pair of earphones
I have gone through many earphones and I must say that although this doesn't blow the competition out of the water, they are a very nice pair of headphones. The length of the cable is just right, and the fit for the ear is personally comfortable. While running I haven't really seen much in terms of them falling off. The sound quality is very good and crystal clear. Not the very best sound I have ever heard but honestly decent for their price. It'... Show More

Great sound but ......
The sound is great although it is a bit heavy on the base. The earbuds are long and they stick out like the plugs in Shrek's ears. They can be easily dislodged. Also, the ear buds do not fit my left ear, they fall out. Reviews claim that foam alternatives will correct this. Unfortunately, these foam tips can only be purchased from Sennheiser; other commercial tips will not fit since the nozzle's diameter is very large. Sennheiser is back-ordered ... Show More

Awesome Buds...
I've had many pairs of earbuds over the years, but none have worked as well, or sounded as good as Sennheiser. It's a brand that even professional audio people use, and if you care about the quality of your sound, you'll understand as soon as you listen to a favorite song, through buds, or a pair of headphones. I especially like the right-angle jack, which allows the entire assembly to ride inside my iPod case without stressing the connection bet... Show More

Worth the High Rating!
I read lots of reviews then spent a few hours in several stores test listening a range of headphones. While I most loved a pair of Grados, I wasn't up to spending over $. I found the Momemtums to be quite bright in mid and high tones, and had enough bass (although not as much as some others). Going back and forth from pair to pair, I really did like the overall tone very much, and the price was also very reasonable for the quality. Quite comforta... Show More

Excellent upgrade from the Apple stock ear buds
Having owned and loved my audiophile grade over ear Sennheiser headphones for many years, I finally decided to purchase a more portable version from the same company for my summer vacation. I will wtart with setting up expectations: these are not audiophile grade earphones, so if this is what one is looking for, look elsewhere. These are in my opinion an excellent upgrade from the Apple stock ear buds as recently experienced in 2 long flights. On... Show More

Awesome headphones
These headphones are great! They are certainly not for audiophiles and have a lot of bass, which is good for the majority of the users. The headphones fit great on my ears. I was originally debating getting these or the on-ear ones, but when I tried these on, they felt amazing. I wasn't able to try the on-ear but then again I didn't have to at this point. They were super comfortable and have just the right amount of pressure on my ears. I would like if the control on the wire worked with android too though I knew it would not going in to buy this and it doesn't really change much.

Not for audiophile
I bought and returned it despite a great price ($) because of its emphasis on bass. It is not neutral at all and unfortunately (or fortunately for me), I got accustomed to the HD650 at home. I was not expecting the same sound of course. The HD650 is 4x more expensive. But I expected something degraded evenly. It is not just bass oriented, the bass are are less controlled than in the 650. I would say blurred. At the end it was more like a pain than a joy. It is certainly not a bad headphone. You just need to like this type of non neutral, bass oriented headphones.

Just what I was looking for
It was time to retire my HD-570 headphones because the foam was rotted and those parts are no longer available. I already own a high end pair of open back headphones and wanted to get a high quality pair of isolating ones for noisy environments. As an audiophile I'm not interested in noise cancelling headphones. These are the ticket. They're comfortable, keep the background noise to a minimum and sound fantastic. As others have mentioned, they don't really sit on the outside of my ears, but being reasonably compact totally offsets that minor drawback.

Great Sound, Awful Size
This headphone has great sound quality for the price while looking and feeling great. It's big (and possibly only) drawback is that it suffers an identity crisis and doesn't know if it's an on ear or over ear headphone. I have a large head and large ears and these work well as on ear headphones, but the first 6 hours with them were the most uncomfortable hours of my life for my ears. Since there is a dedicated on ear model I wish they had made these a bit larger. Besides that, a great headphone in terms of sound quality, build quality, and eye candy.

Momentum lite
Fits great. Owning the over the ear ones for a while and being extremely satisfied with those, I couldn't wait until these came out for daily use out and about. I pre ordered them and had to wait for about a month until they came out. Overall appearance is dlightly beliw the rest of the momentum line, does not have the luxureous feel abd touch. Sound is crisp, a little light on base I have to say (even from someone who listens mostly to (indie)rock). In general I am happy with these, allthough when they break or get lost I probably will switch.

Awesome Sound Reproduction
I use these for listening to music at work and at home. These headphones are amazing, comfortable*, and look pretty cool. The sound reproduction is very natural, and there is no distortion of the very low bass songs, like Kanye West's Love Lockdown, and the highs are crisp. *The only reason for this asterisk is that the headphone cup size is slight small for over-the-ear headphones, and listening to music for a long time becomes more uncomfortable. However, Sennheiser has an updated version, which are supposed to be bigger, so I may get those!

Good overall quality
My iPhone headphones were broken and was looking for a new one that could be good enough for listening music, primarily while commuting via subway. I'm extremely happy about my choice. The sound quality of these headphones are good enough for the kind of music that I hear (soft rock, pop, and R&B). The cords are of great quality and they don't get tangled. Microphones are of good quality as well, suitable for long conversations. The length might have a little shorter, might be couple of inches. Apart from that rest is all good. Cheers!

natural sounding detailed earphones
These earphones from Sennheiser are excellent at producing a very flat and natural representation (they make you hear the song as it was intended to be bears). BUT they will sound rubbish if the song is not good quality, they excel at well recorded material only. Therefore I can also recommend these earphones for music producers, for their flat frequency response and nicely controlled bass frequency. The fit is comfortable and noise cancellation is decent, but it's all about the sound!

Cable does not last
Sound quality is good as to be expected from Sennheiser. But the cable sheath started to split open near the plug only a month after purchase. Doesn't look like it will last much longer. This problem could have been easily avoided if they had put a strain relief by the plug, but instead they did almost he exact opposite and made a very soft cable (with even more delicate seams due to it being a not round cable), going inside a very hard plastic plug. Very badly designed.

Almost Great
These are comfortable and look good, the red highlight on the wire is a nice touch. The sound is good, the bass is warm and rich without being overpowering, the instruments can be distinctly heard and I'm hearing things I haven't heard in songs before; however, the V shape sound (high treble and bass with subdued mids) is not to everyone's taste and the treble is a little much if you turn them up too loud. In this price range I doubt you'll find anything better.
