Four years later these are $180 so I'm getting some
This is an excellent review. You've went into detail that many reviewers missed. Very helpful stuff 👍
Very enjoying review, I've just replaced mine with Momentum 3's; still awaiting delivery.... 👍🏻
Juan is absolutely on point here. I had the wired version of these and as a previous user of the first model I was expecting them to be as good as the Momentum ones with slightly stronger bass. What I got instead was the sound strongly inspired by Beats Solo 2 but not as overpowering on bass teritory. Whilst the first model absolutely worth every penny, especially with those strong mids and a foam like soft bass, these had a very solid and punchy bass in facor of a cery mediocre mids. A huge step back.
Excellent Review! Mine would be arriving in the mail soon, super excited!
Best Review on the cans, thanks!
+David Marte You're very welcome! Glad you enjoyed :-)
I have been using these headphones for over a year now and I can honestly say they are awesome! Best part about the noise cancelling is that they work while connected via wire. Great for watching in flight movies and not knowing there was a screaming baby few rows behind. Bliss!
is there any noticable lag when using it wireless?
Sweet review. For someone that listens to acoustic songs/covers, indie rock/pop and some hip hop, do you think the Momentum wireless or the Urabanites XL wireless is better for these types of songs?
Izzan Zakaria It's a tough call. I think Urbanite is mid-range heavy and Momentum are bass heavy. Depends on what you prefer. Build quality on both are pretty fantastic.
Best review I've seen so far on these!
your shots of the device are so good.. keep it up!
Finally a proper review, not just a presentation. I have always been qurious as to what works best with movies and gaming - 7.1 headsets or quality stereo headsets like the momentums. Have anyone tried both?
+fnagdungdagint I haven't played with a lot of 7.1 headsets, but I would imagine it depends on the video stream. If it's only stereo, then "surround sound" headphones are just using stereo tricks and reverb to fake audio info around you.

Awesome video man. I'm just wondering if the ANC would still be on when it's wired?
Nice review ! But if you ever had the chance to listen to/review the Momentum Wired, Momentum first generation and the Parrot Zik, could you do a quick comparison for me ? I'm currently hesitating between those and would love to have a little feed back :)
as long as they work well with rock/metal... i'll be happy :)
+TheDiscardedFoot Oh they'll work.
So happy to see that they work with Windows & Cortana. I'm a huge fan of Bose but the design of these headphones is just exquisite.
Man, seriously. Bose has some killer ANC tech if you don't mind the cable, but they've never built cans that feel like these.
Have you had a chance to compare them to the Bowers and WIlkins P7 wireless headphones? i'm trying out both right now and its a very tough decision...
hey there juan bagnell, how do does your vmoda m100 fare with the momentum wireless in term of sound quality, comfort and build? i am planning to buy another headphone but this time not wired.
Finally got your take on theses. I thought these would be my next purchase when they launched, but the more I research the further i draft away. I am now considering the Philips m2bt (which hasn't gotten any attention thus far and available for only 200 euros) or the B&O H8 for the signature spacious sound. You care to get your hands on them? The EL8 looks OK but after going wireless it's hard for me to bother with wires/among again. Good video as always.
Are they still worth it to buy?
does it work with the cable if the battery is empty?
I have the original momentum love the sound profile but cable broke yesterday so i ordered the wireless version instead of a cable.
Not a bad upgrade LOL. I'll be curious if you think the cabled playback sounds like the original Momentum.
JuanBagnell i Will report back on that in a week or so. :)
@@Arcticpagan How's the headphone?
Still waiting
This review is so good
I loved those cans... sigh... good times...
@@nigerianprince2711 I have them and I'm pretty convinced that they're the best overall headphone choice you can make right now
fun review!
I had goosebumps at 1:35 and was like "No no no no no no no AAAHHHHHHH!!!!" and was about to pull my hair
does the noise cancellation turn off and on?
Does anyone knows how are they for making calls, how good are the microphones?
Two questions.
1. Im wondering. How are these for gaming when using bluetooth? Is there a sound delay that will cause problems playing team oriented FPS?
I'm one of those guys who just hate to own a lot of "stuff". I've been more or less senile since the age of five :).... I can't keep track over more than a handful of stuff. I have spend half my life looking for my keys, my phone, my cap, my gloves etc..... So, if I can get rid of my gaming head set, my skype headset at work, my phone headphones and my dedicated audio-earphones, I don't care what the hell they cost. I pay anything, and won't care if they technically are overpriced :)
+laoinjo I think it depends more on the device hosting the BT audio than the device receiving. I don't think I've ever had lag free game play audio on a mobile device for example.
Unfortunately, if you are planning on using those to listen to the game audio AND using them at the same time to communicate over skype, discord etc. with your teammates, then you‘ll be disappointed to know that they cannot handle that many bluetooth channels. So it‘s either game Audio oder voice chat. But not both. (On windows that is, haven‘t tried on Mac.... but nobody games on Mac anyways)
What you CAN do is use those to listen to game audio and the voices of your friends incoming over the chat program, but you will need to use an external microphone, not the one‘s built in the earcups of the Sennheisers. I believe it is the bluetooth 4.2 which is the limiting factor.
Great review! You said the noise cancelling is almost as good as bose qc15 or 25? That's amazing.
Yup. Bose has a clear advantage as none of their noise reducing products are wireless. You get a little hiss from Bluetooth and a little "air" from ANC, so Sennheiser is working from a wireless deficit. It's almost as good at reducing noise in the environment as Bose though.
JuanBagnell Thanks for replying and keep making awesome videos.
Jay Lim You're very welcome, and I can ALWAYS use more help sharing them :-)
I don't like their sound... too much mids, the bass was kinda muddy and the trebles are too "shy" making these feel very unbalanced.
Hi Juan,
Do you know how these compare against the Plantronics Backbeat Pro ANC Bluetooth Headphones?
Dah, I don't. I haven't used any Plantronics since my original BackBeat earbuds.
Is this the best wireless headphone in the market under 500 bucks?? Any other suggestions?
This headset is currently 350usd, not 500, cheaper than the qc35.
Are there any differences in audio between these and the wired ones that are $150 cheaper?
Chechus Very similar sound profiles, but I kinda felt the wireless were a touch bassier than I remember the wired cans being. Unfortunately I wasn't able to compare side by side.
How are they for super long sessions, do they remain comfortable?
oboyy A little ear sweat of course, but they're more comfortable than the wired version IMO.
JuanBagnell How so? Aren't they identical?
oboyy Very similar but Sennheiser did address complaints that the ear cushion was too stiff in the wired version. The wireless require almost zero break in.
JuanBagnell Aha ok, I did not know. I am probably getting a wired pair myself but I still haven't made my mind up between the first and second generation, I am really torn. Half the price with a cooler colorway vs. guaranteed comfort with the bigger pads. :/
oboyy So the original pads aren't as comfortable out of the box, but that just means you need to spend more time breaking them in. You'll just want to factor that "time" into your "cost", if that's something you're worried about.
Does anybody know if Sennheiser plan to release a newer version fo the HD1 over ear wireless?
do u think these headphones have interchangeable batteries?
Joel Lee That's a very good question. I don't see any obvious ways to self service, but I bet Sennheiser has a way to replace batteries.
Yup, was researching these and as far as I can see - you can send them in to a certified dealer and they will handle the replacement of the batteries.
PS: I wonder, if it's a hassle, would they just give you a new pair?:)
I bought b&o h8 in the end. It's much better in comparison to sennheiser in terms of sound signature, sound stage, build quality & interchangeable parts. Since b&o just released their over the ear version. It would definitely be the right choice.
Can you review Audeze LCD2 EL-8, Hifi-man 560 Oppo PM-2 and PM-3? they are all sub $1000. Just wanted your take on those mid-fi headphones.. thanks
I'll see if I can get my hands on some. Those Audeze look really clean.
how much time do u need to review the headphones?
How do these cans compare to the B&O H8?
+Jigar Rajgor I actually haven't listened to the B&O long enough to offer an opinion. Sorry.
I'll compare them at xmas when I get a pair to pit against the wife's h8!
+EviL Ras How was it?
+Golden Pixels the h8 are a decent set of cans, and there's a quick review of them on my channel. I just find the over ear style of the sennheiser more comfortable. And the bass response is better. Whereas the noise cancelling and touch controls are better on the h8. I tried the h7 too, but those are too neutral for my tastes. Its also worth noting that both the sennheiser and h8 sound much better on my galaxy s6 edge (with aptx codec) than my wifes iphone.
EviL Ras OK thanks. I wish there was aptx on my 6p but oh well. I'm getting them soon with a pair of Audio Technica M50x so I can comepare and stuff. Thanks for the feedback!
So what "Volkswagen" cans do you recommend x-D
Bluetooth is awesome and those look amazing. I wish I had $500 to spend away lol.
(P.S. Galaxy Quest is awesome)
I'll be really sad when I have to send these back to Sennhesier.
Never give up! Never surrender!
Just copy and paste it for another pair! :p
right now there selling the pink floyd verson for 300
Those are sexy! Awesome review!
So. Damn. Sexy!
JuanBagnell seriously dude, the attention to detail and that sweet vintage look. You rocked it with the cap lol
Isaac Abraham
LOL Thanks man. I really just didn't want to do my hair today ;-)
See that? You inadvertently matched the retro look. That's like a natural cool LOL
Isaac Abraham LOL you're far too kind sir :-)
