- Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless | InsideTech Review.
Today we’ll be checking out the Momentum 3 Wireless, their top-tier active noise cancelling headphones. These offer fantastic build quality, are packed full of smart features and of course have Sennheiser’s signature sound quality. But with an eye-watering $400 launch price, they’re up against some tough competition in the premium ANC headphones market - especially with the likes of Sony’s excellent WH1000XM3. Having been available for some time now, the price has started to come down. So I thought it was a good time to reassess the value these flagship headphones offer in 2020.

This was by far THE best review for these headphones. Every little detail was thoroughly explained. Thank you!
Really appreciate that, thank you!
Perfect timing for this review to come out. Decided to pick them up for sale on Amazon!
Ah I’m glad to hear it!
i saw that best buy still has them at 400 smh
@@tavaresmelton5709 You can go to Best Buy and price match it with Amazon where its current 305 USD.
@@rettorical I price matched them when they were $270 :-)
Nice timely video, now that Momentum is on sale and the recent release of Sony MX4 we need videos like this to help us in the decision making. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you. My Sony M4 review is coming very soon!
Outstanding review! Objective and less biased. Thank you.
Thanks a lot!
Great product review, thank you!
Thanks a lot!
Great informative review, one of the best out there!
Thanks a lot!
thank's for the high quality review!
also your the only reviewer so far that noticed ore told the audience about the questionable design choice with the auf cable.
Thank you very much!
This channel is so good that I subbed.
Thank you very much!
Love your review especially the detail on major different between SM3 to the rest of the flag ship competitor in the market. I like the Sennheiser sound signature better over the rest but the price of it really makes me think thrice on getting them. Just waiting for the price to fall soon....hopefully.
Thank you very much! Yes I hope the price will come down too - only thing holding them back really!
Outstanding and comprehensive analysis mate! Looking forward to a shoot out between these and the mark 4 Sony which now has been released! Cheers… Keith
Thank you very much! I’m currently trying to find a way to squeeze in a Sony M4 review between the new Note 20s...too much good tech!
Great review.More of these.
Thank you! Plenty more coming!
Very informative video!
Thank you!
I'm rocking with the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2🔥🔥 Going to get the Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless in a few months😎😎
Nice! I hope you enjoy them!
Excellent review
Thanks a lot!
I'm a bit late I know, but this is a great and detailed review. Thank you! I tried all the usual suspects here in 2022, including Sony, Bose and the new Momentum 4. After listening to Sony's XM4 and XM5, along with Bose's 700 and QC45, the Momentum 4 really was a huge wow in terms of sound quality over the former, and even ANC was surprisingly good. The thing is I absolutely love the design of the Momentum 3 with its metal and leather (sorry, not sorry 😉), and when I recently saw them brand new on Amazon not far off half the price of the Mometum 4, it was 100% a no brainer. They'll make a great companion to my Beyerdynamics 900 ProX's.
Cheers for the review 👍
Thank you! I also noted Sennheiser's sound quality improvement vs Sony for the Momentum 4. I'm testing all of the best ANC headphones right now for a new video, so there will be reviews for both coming very soon!
@@insidetechltd Momentum 4 wipes the floor with both Sonys in terms of sound quality, and the ANC isn't too far off. If I was paying full price i'd go the Sennheiser without doubt.
I just got these headphones a week ago. I had a pair of B&W PX7 that i used almost daily in the office for 3 years and they fell apart; first the artificial leather frayed on the earpads and the headband...i replaced the earpads but you are stuck with the headband...it looks like c***. Two months later the headband broke and now it is held together with tape. (never broke a pair of headphones before, but I guess the daily use was too much for the plastic they are made out of.)
I decided to bite the bullet and buy the new Sony XM5. For two months i tried to get myself to like them but the confort was horrible...super shallow pads so my ears hurt after 2-3 hours, the tin band made the top of my head hurt as well. If you wear glasses it was even worse as the artificial leather on the pads squeaked with any small motion. The NC was god like and the sound quality was good; the feature set was the best I saw until now.
Still I wanted to make them work so I bought new deeper pads...solved the confort issue...but NC was destroyed and also no more smart pause/play as they are super sensitive to the distance between the ear and the cup. Finally I had enough and sold them.
Decided that it doesn't matter how headphones sound, or how smart they are or how good NC they have if my ears hurt while wearing them.
After much research I had to choose between SM3 250EUR and B&W PX8 700EUR(PX7 S2 were not an option as I don't trust they won't fall apart on me again.) sound, build quality, decent anc, multi device pairing, usb c were the main criteria and after a quick wallet check i got the Sennheisers.
Super happy with them(let's see how long the honeymoon lasts) and I hope they will last me more than 3 years i got from my previous pair of B&W PX7 :)
@@83Muadib83hey how is your experience now? Im about to buying sm3.
They are on sale now since the Sony XM4’s just came out, picked up a set of these on amazon this week foe $270
Great price!
Just picked them up @£175 on sennheiser UK! New Nd sealed in ivory
Hi! Thank you for such a detailed review. Did I understand correctly that it’s impossible to turn on the headphones by pressing the pause button again? I’d like to use them without interacting with the folding mechanism at all (once I had problems with my Marshall Monitor headphones because of a similar mechanism that damaged the wiring).
Yes you've got to use the folding mechanism, sadly!
This is a outstanding video, thank you for your production. Today I got XM3, and the sound quality was "significantly" worse than my 5 year old Sennheiser Momentum On Ear first generation one. Now I am quite confused by watching videos how people mention that XM3 is good. For me it is not, at all, comparable with Sennheiser Momentum On Ear. Do you really find the sound quality of XM3 and Momentum 3 similar?
Thank you.
I think a lot of this is subjective. In terms of quality, I do think they are similar - relative to the rest of the market and competition, they perform similarly. But I would say that the Momentum 3 better produce the higher frequencies - so they have an edge. However, each person has a different listening preference. Many don't enjoy Sennheiser's treble, or prefer the bass-focussed sound of Sony. You can compare directly how each produces the range of frequencies, but ultimately, it's down to what each person thinks sounds good as to which has 'better audio quality'
How frequently does Sennhieser update their headphone lines? Would a Momentum4 within the next couple of months be out of the question? Love your vids.
Thank you!
It's hard to say. These were released back in September 2019, and though I wouldn't expect there to be a release any time soon (since September 2020 has passed) you can never say never. I personally wouldn't expect anything to come out soon
Thanks for the review, I’m looking to buy either the momentum 3 or the Marshall monitor 2 anc, in the UK there’s almost a £100 difference with the Sennheiser costing more, what your view on the Marshall are they still quality with sound and comfortable, it’s going to be the 1st time buying wireless anc headphones for me, I love the design of the Marshall but I’m worried that I won’t like the fit or sound, the Sennheisers have grown on me but I don’t know if the price is justified, be grateful for any advice thanks
For someone new to wireless ANC headphones, it's almost tempting to recommend the cheaper option (since you won't know what you're missing out on). However, i'd feel uncomfortable recommending Marshall's headphones knowing how much better Sennheiser's M3 are. I know £100 is a lot, but you really do get your money's worth. Remember, Sennheiser's Momentum 3 are literally one of the best money can buy (that's why they're so expensive), so do consider if you're looking for a budget pair or want to go all in. Marshall still wouldn't come under my personal 'budget' recommendations either though. The fit and sound is largely subjective - everyone's head shape and listening preference is different. So it's hard to say without you trying them out really.
I'd recommend you stretch for the Sennheiser Momentum 3 - see how they fit and you can always return them if they're no good. But you really do get so much more for your money in terms of sound quality and features
@@insidetechltd thanks for the quick reply, I think il go for it with the Sennheisers 👍🏼🙏🏼
Hello, great review, but do you think they are worth to buy in 2021, btw in my country they are same price as sony's XM4?
They're still great headphones in 2021, yes. Just remember about the pros and cons I talked about in the video before buying!
The big question here is if the Momentum 3 actually is giving you a better experience when listening to music comparing to Bose and Sony XM3? My impression is that many reviewers out there actually think Momentum 3 is slightly better for listening to music but say Sony and Bose offering the best noise-cancelling? Personally I prioritize the music listening quality slightly higher than the noise-cancelling option and I do find Momentum 3 good enough in this area too. I heard the new XM4 don't have aptx support which is strange?
I think it really depends on the reviewer's personal preference. Objectively you could say that Sennheiser's flatter, more balanced response is more accurate - but it's very common for people to prefer a warmer tone (i.e. that Sony provides). I don't really think the difference in 'quality' is big enough to declare a clear winner. It's more to do with the style of the sound - which is down to your own preference. And yes, surprisingly there's no aptX for Android with the XM4s!
@@insidetechltd Ok, my impression is that a majority of reviewers think M3 is on top for music listening comparing to XM3 and Bose 700 but you are right, it's very personal. I rank the M3a sound for music higher myself but XM3 is lighter and more comfortable wearing, better battery time and better noise-canceling.
Thanks for the information. I'm really having trouble choosing between what headset to buy. Do you have some alternatives to these? Same price range
Sony WH-1000XM4 - best ANC headphones on the market right now
@insidetech I have the xm4 but am thinking of buying the momentum 3 would you recommend?
You would buy these over the Sony because the bass is harder, the sound is sharper and the magnets are heavier. More reference type
Help me please, Momentum 3 or PXC 550 II? Queqlity sound, battery, and ANC? Thanks for tehe review.
I think for sound and ANC, the Momentum 3 are best. But for battery life the 550 are slightly better (20 h vs 17). I'd also expect the 550 to be more comfortable, if that's important to you!
Has the 'Russian roulette' been fixed by now? I'm in doubt between the momentum 3 for €200 or pxc 550-II for €150 (both on sale as refurbished from the Sennheiser store).
It still sometimes happens, sadly. To be honest, i've just had smart play off entirely to avoid the issue and i've been happier with that!
Just wondering if the disconnecting problems is related to smart play or are their really Bluetooth problems with this headphones?
I don't think that smart play is an issue, and i'd say there aren't any major bluetooth problems either!
How does the multi-device connectivity of the Momentum 3 compare to the Jabra Elite Active 65T?
Before I lost the right earphone of the 65T (😞), they were the best earphones I ever used in terms of multi-device connectivity. I miss that feature dearly now that I've fallen back to my Sennheiser BTNC 4.50, which has very poor multi-device support (bluetooth 4.0)
It's similar, but better for one main reason: with the Momentum 3, you can tap play on the other device and it instantly switches over (you don't need to pause on the first device first). With the 65Ts, you have to pause on the first device first, otherwise it won't switch over. Hope this helps!
@@insidetechltd It does, thank you.
I'm looking forward to your upcoming Sony WH-1000XM4 review; I hope you'll take time describing its multi-device connectivity features too 🤞
Do you have an ETA for that review?
Current ETA is Saturday. I got delayed a day because of a storm, i'm sorry. Working hard on it though and will finish it asap! And yes, multipoint is covered in the new review!
I just got my senny m3's this week and wow they are my second favorite pair of headphones i love my vmoda m100 master a bit more tho
Nice!
Just got mine today: while I love the sound I hear quite a lot of white noise in ANC mode (Max and anti-wind) after a little while wearing them. Do you also have that issue? I know some static is expected in all ANC but it feels like the retail model I tried wasnt so loud :/
@@b4c9g8m3 im trying it out right now with just the anc on no music and i hear no hiss or white noise. These m3's are groing on me everyday they sound better and better imo without an amp they sound alike to the v modas but connected to an amp the vmodas blow everything out the water
@@MLGxBXRxPRO Agreed, the sound is something else, best headphones I've had so far!
I might have to ask for an exchange, though, as many other people have reported the same issue on reddit.
Just to be clear: even when cycling through the ANC modes you cant notice that faint wind (or better: sea-like) noise when on Max? I just noticed this morning it does that as soon as I wear them, unfortunately.
Which one do you consider buying Sony XM4 or Momentum 3 wireless?
And why?
Tough to say, it depends on what you prioritise - i've just released my full XM4 review where I draw some comparisons to these headphones, so check that out too if you're interested!
InsideTech One of the best Reviewer. You deserve 1M subs, very detailed, the voice is so sexy😉
That’s so kind of you to say. Thank you so much!
I bought these headphones BECAUSE they were leather, I won't spend hundreds of dollars for a time bomb that will eventually have trashed earcups and headband.
Fair enough, I hope you enjoy them!
Which one has more definition and what are the differences in treble / mid / bass / super bass between these Sennheiser Momentum 3 and the Audio Technica ATH-MSR7B?
¿Cuál tiene más definición y qué diferencias hay en agudos / medios / graves / supergraves entre estos Sennheiser Momentum 3 y los Audio Technica ATH-MSR7B?
I'm sorry, i've not tested them before so I couldn't say!
Hi all... Which one would you pick? This M3s at 300 USD or XM4 at 350 USD? and why?
M3s. Much better sound quality and slightly worse ANC.
Does these have an IPX rating?
No official IP rating for these
I'm just going to be honest, the noise cancelling isnt quite as good as my QC 35ii, but much better than the sennheiser pxc 550ii. And the sound is better than the Bose, but not that much better than the 550ii. The app works much better with the momentum 3 than the 550ii and you don't have to pause to go to switch between two different sources. The eq is better also. But calls on the Bose are better imo. Overall I got the momentum 3 for the sound, and it is bass heavy. I need one headphone that is, and I'm sticking with it.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
I was listening to Paramore before watching this video and you are showing them here.. 😂 a very strange coincidence.
You'll find me showing Paramore fairly often on this channel!
I'm getting nowhere near 17 hours of battery usage. Mine are down to 20% after about three hours of continuous use, perhaps defective pair?
It does depend on the codec you use, bluetooth version of your device and the volume you're listening at. But these shouldn't make a massive impact anyway. Sounds to me like a defective pair because the battery shouldn't be dropping that fast.
Software fully updated?
@@insidetechltd thank you for the reply, I updated the software when I first bought them. I’m now on the second battery cycle and have so far have around 5.5 hours and down to 20% so perhaps I’ll keep testing. Thanks for the info on Bluetooth, I’ll look into that too 🙂
nice one !
Thank you!
You seem to be the only one saying that Anti Wind, and not Anti Pressure, is the lowest ANC setting
I guess the others you've heard had a different experience then!
While a nice extra option to have, that USB-C cable looks provides a very awkward connection to the headphones that is far from ideal (no flex, no swivel).
It's a weird choice for the cable!
beats studio vs sennheiser momentum 3?
Sound quality, multipoint and ANC: Sennheiser. Beats may be better for Apple users though with the automatic switching feature
One word: BUTTONS 👍
Oh yes!
Returned bassy and overall dissapointing for me Sony WH-1000XM3 and ordered M3. I'm pleased with cable oldies HD650 and I hope they will be something similary to them not expecting so good.
I hope you enjoy them!
I guarantee that your Momentum 3 yolks will slide up and down the metal headphone rail like butter so you will never be able to enjoy them unless you never ever move. As an HD800 owner I have to say that I was really let down by the build quality and although the sound isn't bad at all I would recommend the Ananda BT if you want the highest detail retrieval in a bluetooth headphone on the market and are willing to pay for it. The best closed back bluetooth headphones on the market is definitely the drop Pandas. I still sold them once I heard the Ananda BTs.
P.s. excellent and thorough review and feature walkthrough regardless
Thank you, and thanks a lot for sharing your experience!
Wish i was the one who bought the pandas from you. I didn't purchase it because i don't like to wait. Plus I don't approve of their business strategy.
@@fortyinch in case it helps I use the Ananda BT's in the gym, on runs, at home, everywhere and all I get are compliments and amazing rich detail with a surprising amount of sub bass which I truly wasn't expecting. They are absolutely amazing and now they can even be wired. I can set my phone to lock at ldac 600 and 900 for the absolute best sound transmission or wired for 24bit 96Khz
@@MakenaKai lol.. You crazy.... 😂 i mean it as a compliment. That thing is good I'm sure. I've heard a lot of praises from reviewers. But to be honest, that's a bit steep as far as price for me. 😅
Reason i say you kray is cause that thing is an open back isn't it? I have the monolith m570 and I'm a bit shy using it on airports/planes/train. Lol .... I tend to use the dt770 80ohm or airpods pro for those activities.
But hey. Props for you for rocking that. 💪
Ah damn it..! Now you have me curious. Haha ... Tbh my limit on these hobby is at 600... But... Maybe.. Maybe.. If i end up getting it. I hope i remember to give you my feedback and thank you..
One thing when you use the usbc cable, you first need to press and hold the voice assistant button as you unfold the ear cups and wait for the led light to change from green to blue, then off.
The manual says press and hold for 4 seconds.
If you don't do this the headphones default to bluetooth wireless. You may think your listening through the cable but your actually listening to wireless Bluetooth. The way to confirm this that the volume is lower with the usbc cable. You need to turn the volume up.
Interesting! I just disabled bluetooth on my device instead, but this is cool to know!
The sound is better by Sony MX3 I could believe Sony MX5 to be better by Momentum 3 ,even Momentum 4! The premium Sound by Sennheiser Momentum 3 is Fantastic-Top headphone!
The higher weight reassures me. Higher weight = bigger magnets = better bass and sound.
I guess that can be true! I didn't really like the comfort trade-off personally, but I can't fault the sound quality!
I'm not a fan of the wires sticking out...if anythin happens to it ..the headphone is done for
It does make me nervous as well...been ok so far though!
I wonder how they sound?
(listening on the exact same headphones)
Honestly though these are the most uncomfortable headphones stuff Ive ever worn. To the point of being painful wearing them for long periods, I don’t know much about headphones but whatever that little spring/spiral thing jutting out is completely ruins it. The headband is also extremely uncomfortable and will hurt after about 1-2 hours of wearing. Another awful thing is the “smart” on off. Literally any head movement turns it off for me, I’ll be laying down and look to the right and they pause. I’ll be standing up and turn to the left and they pause....One time, I was laying still and just moved my arms and they paused... was soooo annoying had to figure out how to disable because it would constantly pause. I don’t like the lack of power switch because there’s nothing to keep the headphones locked closed and I often find the battery has drained because my headphones got moved around so they’re constantly dead. Sort of want my m2s back to be honest, I’m not a big audiophile and can’t tell the difference by memory at least. Can’t complain though, I got the m2s in a Black Friday sale for 100 off. I broke the headphone port by standing up with them around me neck, and took them to Best Buy and got the m3s because I had a warranty 🤣 Pro tip, get the warranty. 60$, no questions asked and they don’t even check them to see if they’re broken. I had to pay the price difference and for a new warranty, but you basically get a pair of 400$ headphones for 60$. I feel bad as it is and would never lie, but you easily could lol. Warranty lasts like 2-3 years I believe so you can get a new model every few years lollll. You don’t even have to pick the same headphones I don’t think haha.
Oh, btw super obnoxious I can’t turn off smart play without the app.
Oh dear. I agree that they aren't the most comfortable, and also that a dedicated power button is helpful to have. Hopefully turning off smart pause helps a little though!
@@insidetechltd Do you happen to know what that piece sticking out of the ear cup or whatever is? Did you notice it as well? It seriously hurts, it's not just uncomfortable. Seems like it is a massive oversight to have that thing sticking out so much.
@@insidetechltd Another thing i noticed is that they're bad for gaming. It seems that I can never tell where things are around me correctly. I don't know the word for it is. Also the low power warning is super annoying, when I'm listening to music sometimes it will say it like 5 times. I already know it's low im not sure why they do that.
I'm not sure what bit you mean exactly. If you're on social media and want to send me a picture to show what you mean i'll see if I can understand it!
I guess you mean the sort of stereoscopic audio. I wouldn't use these for gaming myself. I'm sorry you found so many issues, do you think you'll be returning these then?
When I listened to the XM3, I was just mortified over the sound quality. I'm now considering the Momentum 3s, but the battery life is worse and it doesn't support AptX HD unfortunately... Pros/cons.
I was also in doubt between the Sony’s and Sennheiser’s, you should check them on this website rtings.com they also do in-depth testing and show all sort of graphs so u can compare them for yourself.
If you're really keen on Sennheiser's headphones, then perhaps consider that 17 h is still plenty of battery life on a single charge. Sure, you might have to put them on charge a day sooner than Sony's headphones, but it's still pretty decent. No real way of getting around aptX HD though, so yes you'll have to weight this all up!
@@insidetechltd yep I totally agree. 17h for me is no deal breaker to be honest, but aptx HD might be. But to be honest if the music sounds better and it doesn't use a top notch codec it becomes a tech point more than a reality point!
I would just love to have Sony ANC with Sennheiser sound. Could they not just be best friends and create the best wireless headphones ever? ☺
I agree, I personally find it tough to tell difference with these Bluetooth codecs anyway. And yes, haha! That would be cool!
@@sinetwo 😅😂🤣
I bought some and the natural leather is very comfortable. Feel free to wear your vegan substitute 😆
Thank you. Comfort was never the issue for me though!
I got them for 299. I was sooo lucky!!
The sonny where to small for my ears:((
Not a bad price!
@@insidetechltd yeah it was really lucky haga
Are they comfortable? i'm concerned about how they'd feel on my kinda weird ears
@@rafaelgodoy3703 yes, BUT you have to get use to them. You have to try until they are comfortable!
I have a big ass head and some big ass ears so...
@@rafaelgodoy3703 but let me tell you, It's a joy to listen music with these!!! The anc is also really good and the battery is ok but you have to charge them more than the Sony
I got these Sennheisers for $150 so it is a low risk purchase vs the original price.
What do you suggest to do with genuine leather after all burgers are eaten? Throw it into the garbage?👍
I have no idea what this means
The XM4's are out mmmm this is a bit late the XM4's are still better .. So I use Sennheiser for my highend system the headphones are £4K and even this is 12.5 times cheaper than their top headphone. However I keep the ANC headphones for traveling and these are Sony they make mince meat of any other headphone even these above.. I've been in the listening game for 33 years think I know a thing or two :-)
Lmao!!
@@Prog4Prog Lmfao
„Vegan Leather“ 😂😂 yeah i know what you mean still sounds funny... I like real leather ;)
Fair enough!
Most cheap headphones come with vegan leather
Cows wouldn’t exist if there wasn’t an appetite for food and material like leather. If they are cared for when on this earth then they can at least enjoy their life and all is good. Thinking is all wrong sometimes.
Sennheiser's have much bigger Earcups. For people with big ears the Sony's are NOT an option.
For the gimmick of noise cancelling you get shit sound. Why don't they just make a model with no noise cancelling and audiophile quality sound with Bluetooth.
You can listen to these without turning on noise cancelling though...unless you're trying to say that the headphone having the ANC feature makes them sound worse (which I don't understand). Sennheiser make plenty of audiophile-grade headphones that don't have ANC already...
@@insidetechltd It definitely sounds worse. Listen to studio monitors.
These are really very uncomfortable for premium headphones. The sound quality is impressive for closed back / bluetooth, but the sound stage is limited. There is very little leakage and anc is fine indoors. But I cannot recommend them for prolonged listening. Poor comfort distracts from sound performance.
Completely agree!
"its extremely tough to remove and attach the cable"
Sure... If you're blind and a missing an arm or two.
Agreed.
Shut up with "vegan leather" please! Normal leather it is the best for all of us... They are the most comfotable from all my headphones and i dont get skin rash like my other "P leather" headphones (xm3, studio3). Cheers!
Some people care about animal welfare and don't want to use real leather. Those people have a voice too and aren't going to "shut up!".
Thanks for watching though!
Why would you buy this over Sony or Bose? Sound quality of course. I use mine with a full EQ over USB Audio Player Pro. The default sound is too bassy. I returned the Sonys faster than I could read the model name.
Your review is like you are comparing 100$ speakers with some 20k$ focals and say that the build quality makes the difference.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean. But I agree, sound quality is a reason you might buy these over Sony or Bose.
This one or the sony too bassy?
There is no such thing as vegan leather.
If you’re making a technicality point about the definition of the term “leather” then fine. But I’m not here to offer technicalities, I’m here to offer my views and thoughts in the most concise and clear way as possible. “Vegan leather” is a familiar and relatable term that was appropriate and helpful for me to illustrate my point, that’s all!
@@insidetechltd Understood. The high quality genuine leather is one of the primary reasons I was interested in these and ultimately decided to order a pair today after Amazon dropped the price to $248 USD.
Nice, I hope you enjoy them!
🤔🙏😊☕️
I cant bring myself to wear animal leather, so these are a no-go for me.
Same as me 👊🏼
everyone coming here looking for a headphone review and instead we got a dude lecturing sennheiser on the importance of vegan leather. my dude 99% of the world literally does not care, this is only crap people in california and new england care about
Chill. 99% of this review is not about vegan leather. Try not to get so offended that someone else cares about something you don't. It doesn't affect you. Have a nice day!
@@insidetechltd apologies, had some tequila the other night and my drunken self gets pretentious. watched the full review and it was quite good. I will say though that getting a moral proposition right out of the gate was a bit jarring. I think a better way to handle it would have been to simply inform the viewer that "the headphones use genuine leather and if this is something disagreeable for you these might not be the headphones for you." rather than saying that (not verbatim) 'the choice of leather was disappointing and may be a dealbreaker, but for those not bothered by this the build quality is great' it sort of implies that the default moral position is to be against the use of genuine leather and that this detracts from the product for the general public. Also not to mention I am sure that there are plenty of questionable practices that go into the construction of most of these types of products that is far more concerning than the use of leather, it just seems misplaced and overly specific. In any case lovely review, I ended up actually deciding to buy these after watching this and I'm looking forward to see how well they perform for myself.
I don't think so. This is my personal view on the subject, and this review is written from my perspective. If nobody put their personality into their reviews, then all reviews would be objective, stat lists - pointless.
The way I see it, there are 3 ways one could react to my statement:
1. You'll agree, and possibly even be educated by my stance with this.
2. You'll disagree and move on.
3. You'll disagree and actually be offended by someone else's view, rather than just accept someone feels differently.
And if you're in this third group, I think it's perhaps time to reassess the situation. I won't pander to those third group people - and that's my choice.
I understand not everyone will agree with my views, that's life. But I won't let that stop me making honest reviews. To those that enjoy my videos, i'm glad! To those that don't, i'm sorry it wasn't for you.
are you vegan?
No i'm not
Vegan leather? lol......So you want synthetic leather then yes? Just say that
Why? You’ve clearly understood me perfectly!
@@insidetechltd Just because someone can interpret it, does not make it correct.
Luckily in this case though, it is correct.
@@insidetechltd Unfortunately not, but ok. I'm done here lol
Complaining about animal vs vegan leather in a headphone review. WTF.
How dare I share my personal view eh?
@@insidetechltd Doesn’t matter who’s review it is, the relevance of vegan leather in a pair of headphones is questionable lol.
You only have two comments and still you didn’t give heart to them.
Now i got it why you have only 40k subscribers
Ah I wish I was able to dedicate more time to looking through TH-cam comments. Sadly I don’t get as much I’d like so I can’t always instantly look through and reply. Thanks for the comment though!
InsideTech ok bro, i got it. But plz give little more importance to your audience, because they are the only one who make you famous one day
@@Bholapubg59 mate you're deffo on the special list
Gurteg he probably has a life. You should get one.
"I personally couldn't recommend a product that uses genuine leather"
Ok I personally couldn't recommend a TH-cam reviewer who is a lame vegan.
That's fine, I appreciate you watching all the same!
