The subscribe note at the beginning is better and better every time. Today's was especially great. As a subscribed user I got a hook for a next week and I think not yet subscribed people will appreciate it too. However, I don't like that there wasn't any bottom third banner during the end sponsor thing, but it's not that big of a problem.
hey man, I give feed back everywhere. I've been on youtube for 4 years now, and I always look for things that work and also on those that don't. I will definitely check your channel out, if you want, you want send me the video you are most proud of (not in terms of view count) EDIT: I watched all (3) of your video. I would be happy to help you. Would you mind contacting me on my email? We can do a short google hangouts thing.
Sonic Jensen I didn't like them as well, because previously it was just literally just like, "if you don't want to miss our future content - subscribe" than many people complained and I'm not sure if it it thanks to me but I asked to change it on something where we will get some info about what is coming up. So for next 2 weeks it was always like "this thing is yellow, you know what else is yellow corsairs new logo, we have a new keyboard, we will review it, plz subscribe" And now he even said when it is coming out. It's less and less annoying every time. I think I'm starting to like it.
hey bro, i ended up buying them, i must say, they shout quality, with its case and all (even though the case isnt as practical as it is good looking) the earbuds are worth it bro.. give them a try
Wow the timing of this could not have been more perfect! I just watched your vid on the momentum on ears last night and almost bout them but decided to hold out for now and now this!
I have the on-ear momentums and I love them so much, bought some in ears from a small independent company rated well for a similar price to the and not too impressed now I want these :(
I was on the fence with these earphones and your review(One of the only few reviewers i trust on TH-cam) made me click Buy Now! And of course, i used your affiliate link to support the channel!
I think you guys found the best way to to your Subscribe Invites in the beginning. Doing them as a parenthetical made it seem clunky and forced, often detracting from everything else being said around them. But this time you got everything said before and then moved into the topic of the upcoming video, finishing gracefully into the intro. It's the most fluid one yet.
***** See now minus the swearing, that was a nicer way to put your point across. Do that more often and people will have a greater respect for you and your opinion. As of right now I have little respect of you and your opinion for opening with a personal attack on someone instead of just stating facts.
You're first point is true your second... I do not agree with just because there is dust means they aren't good tech reviewers? A lot of tech guru's are not organized when it comes to keeping things clean. Believe me I know although there are some of them that will be fanatic saying MUST CLEAN but not many.
Linus, all these shitty innuendos/explicit references are starting to hurt the content in my opinion. I just think it's harder for the older guys to take the videos seriously, we're here for tech not bad comedy.
hey guys can i run the next gen games like ac unity and far cry 4 at high settings 60 fps with my new set up? *casio i7 scientific calculator for CPU michaelangelo as my GPU 8 years old mountain RAM 8GB SSD to be installed onto a USB port and lastly mitsubishi floor fan a123 b44 z567 DE cheese 789 superWXY 890-321x* i want to install lights too probably a florescent ceiling lamp they look beautiful and would go well with a the cardboard box PC case :) sad that they didn't have one made out of straw.
***** yeah u juz jealous cuz u don't have a state-of-the-art setup that can run the next gen games like me. meanwhile im thinking of having additional leonardo da vinci SLI meh i can throw in picasso as well ez
You need at least: *TI-85 i5 scientific calculator for CPU, Voodoo 3 GFX as a GPU 16 year old 4MB SIMM RAM, and a papyrus leaf for storage.* For the case, use halogen lights powered by car battery with mulit-colored plastic covers.
I love the signature of these as I hear alot of mid-heavy songs and with the momentums i also hear all the other sounds better. For example the constant background base in Heart On by Celldweller is much more magnificant.
Just a quick recommendation for future audio tech reviews and such, listen to the headphones/earbuds with various genres of music and make some kind of chart to show where each one performs the greatest in. That or you could make a whole new segment in your audio videos with the same concept.
one of your videos helped me learn how to buy a headset according to what you want and not what the seller is trying to sell to you( i guess Luke was in it).
Watched this and bought the Sennheisers. I totally agree; after going from IEs which loop over the ears these are unbelievably uncomfortable. The noise just from moving around feels deafening
I've used Aviate for some time now and I must say that it is one of the best third-party launchers. It incorporates many convenient functions, BUT I find it difficult to place my own widgets on it.
jaybirds X2 is a sports earpiece ... and I never go for sports one because they are focused on comfort rather than the sound quality... So, would obviously choose sennheiser over sporty X2
sennheiser, they come with xs s m and l earbuds , for msot people the xs and the s fit better i can jum,p around and they never fall out. excellect sound quality
I personally have the shure se215's,and the only thing I have to say about using them is that you need to use a good custom eq to get the most out of them. On my one m8,the stock eq made them sound muddy which was the same result on my schiit magni. A good eq fixed the issue and they really started to sound amazing
Bought these 2 months ago. Sound is great. But poorly made. Ear buds pop off almost every time i pull them out. Cable split right down the middle (second time for this company's product) and sound cut out on one side. Company refuses to replace them because the damage isn't "natural". You would be crazy to dole out 100 plus bucks for this shoddy product made by a company that doesn't stand behind it's own workmanship (they called them "sensitive" in refusing my request for replacement).
elvistheripper Just come across the same bullshit, had then 2 months and the cable split; I thought 2months!!!!Oh it's good they have a two year warranty but apparently the cables just splitting is due to bad use and it's not their problem. 😠😠😠
Luke Busby-Smith I actually fought and got a replacement pair and guess what?? That's right: split in the same damn spot. I gave up. They got me. My usage is riding on a crowded train with some degree of pulling and walking with them in my pants pocket. If a pair of earbuds can't handle that then they ain't for me I guess. On the other hand I bought a pair of Audio-Technica BKS77 and they sound better and are more rugged (and the damn earpads dony come out every time my phones do)
elvistheripper I will try fight for a replacement or a refund as the store I bought them from offered a 3 year warranty but they refused me in their but stated If came in when the general manager is their he could possibly over ride the warrant and refund me; it's ridiculous how they can slap a 2 year warranty on but not stand by it at all. I've had £5 earphones that last longer.
Luke Busby-Smith yup. I feel you. I called the shop every day for a week or so haha and made them give me the ticket number and contact name at the manufacturer to prove the ticket was open. The shop ended up refunding. You might try that or send all of this info to Seinheiser themselves and complain you are getting a rough ride from the retailer. It's too much cash to just write off. Maybe this set is good for people who never leave the house or move at all. I dont know. They are too dainty for daily commutes in Tokyo. I am Sure of that much. Good luck!!
I have been through many many headphones while working in a metal shop for the last 10 years. Ive been through all of ultimate ears products up to tf10s. And shures are the only ones that have more than a year on one cable. they don't sound as good as many of my other iems but they are bomb proof. and I'm a cable killing monster.
First, you have internet. Second, you have a device capable of accessing the internet. If you are so "broke", then go sell some stuff, you must have plenty of it.
+Cassandra Lykke Miles better! I honestly can't use my EarPods without cringing anymore, because of the so much better sound on the Momentums! :D Although, I still use my EarPods when laying down, as I can't do that with the Momentums. My friend has these too, and he says he can if he uses the smaller tips.
Against apple earbuds the sennheiser have better isolation and they have a very crispy high end... But bass-mids are really lacking. I don't like them and haven't yet found an high quality substitute for EarPods with "medium" isolation and good bass delivery ... Any hint?
What is the best headphones (or earphones) under $100? -With good overall sound, bass, highs, etc. -Extremely comfortable with good build quality. -Not tight on the head. -For use with Mac products.
If you can find them cheap within the $100 range (I found them in one of those airport electronic shops for literally $75), go get the ATH-MSR7s instead of the M50Xs. They're technically more consumer focused than the M50Xs are but you'll get a nicer look, even better soundstage, a more balanced sound signature, and a better seal due to memory foam. Only issue is they're usually over the $100 mark and scalpers still sell them for full $250 MSRP.
I have the momentum 2 in ear and they are gorgeous with a clear soundstage & sweet treble but without any harshness. They are excellent value for money at only £80
Hey guys, I need some help. Is this a good gaming pc for €1200? Thanks. *i5-4690, Asus gtx 970, Hyperx Fury 16gb 1866, corsair h100i or CM Nepton 280L, msi z97 g55, corsair CX600* I want to do a white and blue build in a NZXT phantom 530 and I can't find a motherboard that really attracts me in blue so i went for the msi. To sad that Asus doesn't make blue ones.
Did you mean a 4690? :D Otherwise, yeah, pretty nice build. The one thing i can think of that would be limiting you, would be the processor. Even a 4790k may struggle in for example a 64 player Seige of shanghai game.
Hey Linus I Was Just Wondering If You Could Maybe Tell Me If This Pc Is Any Good. Operating system Windows 8.1 SPECIFICATION Processor Intel® Core™ i7-4770 Processor (3.4 GHz, 3.9 GHz with TurboBoost, 8 MB cache) RAM Kingston 8 GB DDR3 (1600 MHz) Graphics card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 (2 GB GDDR5) ( Don't Know Which One ) Storage - 1 TB HDD, 7200 rpm - 120 GB SSD Motherboard ASUS H81M-PLUS Thanks In Advance.

that story in the beginning was the most pointless shit ever. he sai this was either going to incredible or terrible, then concluded with "they are ok". whats the point of that whole one minute story?
Great review . direct, detailed and objective. I've just made my mind regarding my new pair of in ear headphones. I like bose but its products don't last that much, basically regarding the cable. In the end Sennheiser in ear headphones seem to be more durable and with a decent sound quality. Thanks.
Hey I understand that you need subscribers and all but can't you make these puns a little less? Like asking us to subscribe every video is a bit too much.
No need as everyone already knows it. The M50s as well as the M50Xs are pretty good bang for buck headphones with a tiny v shaped sound signature so music is balanced and slightly colored while sound balance is neutral enough to make them good studio monitors. Of course, the M70Xs as well as the pseudo direct successor MSR7s have a better neutral sound signature and better soundstage but you're not gonna find the M70Xs easily within the same price as the M50s though the MSR7s can be found for sometimes even less than the M50s, which is a steal considering they're also Hi-Res certified
umm....OK? The run a business with probably hundreds of thousands of dollars of computer and server equipment and around 10 workers. Do you really think they could get by on TH-cam Ad revenue? They upload on 3 channels. Of course they're going to get sponsors. Don't let this scare you. They have plenty of poor reviews of products they got for free from their sponsors, so I believe they're at least mostly unbiased.
Eric W. whateva... i just need a genuine review only on a product m looking for... none of the reviews mentioned specs like sensitivity, frequency range, impedance etc of IEMs.. pfff
mo_onstruck musick does that really matter? you can look it up yourself. He doesn't mention the full specs of graphics cards when he reviews them either, because they don't matter as much as the actual performance does.
Eric W. if the earphones frequency is 20hz to 20khz, it falls in human hearing range.. if the earphone has frequency below 20hz, it will respond to low frequencies clear as compared to one with 20hz.. same with high frequencies .. the low the minimal frequency is, the better bass response.. so, specs does matter cuz you can not listen to earphones until you have em with you.. About sensitivity - the high the sensitivity is, the more the loudness of the earphones with better clarity.. brainwavz proalpha is 115db.. sennheiser has less than 115db... i guess 100db..
I really enjoy your videos Linus, funny smart quirky dude. Thanks for quicktips and the build guides, you and TekSyndicate are the reasons I built my first Pc instead of buying an Xbone or Ps4, best decision ever, thanks
I do agree that watching 1080p on 4K feels awful but IMO 60 hz video would be something a lot of us would love.. especially when it is easier and cheaper to produce than a 4K video :)
Just bought a pair of these second hand based on reviews saying they have excellent bass and high end, but lack a bit of mid range. I have the Momentum on ear and over ear headphones for my hi-fi, and I'm happy with the sound of these, but the buds are horrible. Loads of treble, with little to no bass. I've tried them on all my devices as well as my hi-fi, but no good result. I've had to completely turn down treble and up the bass to get anything decent! The clarity is good with little to no distortion even at higher volumes. I may have bought a damaged pair? I can't see any indication that they may be fake, so is this the norm? I'd like to hear a brand new pair (or as new as possible as these are a few years old now) for comparison.
great review. How about a 100$ in-ear comparison video? I mean that´s the pricerange most people buy this stuff and there are just so many competitors on the market... That´d be great (:
Great job as always! Have you reviewed the Onkyo E900M and the E700M yet? Is their High Resolution Audio support worthwhile? Can you please review them at your earliest convenience? Thank you, JA
Hi Linus, how would you say these hold up compared to the SoundMagic E10? I'm thinking of an upgrade, but don't know if these are worth the extra cash.. Do they produce a similar sound signature? Thanks so much and great review! :)
Hi linus, Which one do you recommend as a superior earphones overall. Sennheiser momentum or the bose true sound in ear earphones? Also, and why did you choose the one or the another. thanks, marc
Hey there Linus, I'm more of a high frequency listener that enjoys the hiss of a snare drum, and cymbals. As you can tell I prefer alternative rock, and indie rock as well. Since it's the holidays, which iems are a worthy choice for me? If you can help me, that'd be wonderful. Thank you!
I've always like Sennheiser headphones, so I got a pair of these. When I got them SCREWED into my head enough to get bass response, the wires point UP, and the "trash can lids" they decided to stick on the ends dig into my ears. I could deal with wires sticking up if the remote on the right cable was further from the earbud, because I could wrap the wires around my ears and behind, but the remote winds up behind my right ear! Since the cords come out the side, they have to point up so that they don't ALSO dig holes in my ears. I guess having them come out the end is too much to ask. I have more bud tips on order -- both baffled silicone and Comply foam tips so I'll see if they work better. I'd like to find a set that are more comfortable than the ones supplied (not sure how I could fail at that). I need to find tips that will seal in my ear canals but leave the PIE PLATES further out of my ears. They could be 1/3 the size and still serve as a way to install and remove the earbuds (and not "ditch witch" into my skin!) I used to use Etymotic ER-6 earbuds -- a joy to use! But they stopped making parts, they fell apart and Etymotic discontinued them in favor of horrible ones that cost 4x more! Also the wires were PVC, so anything touching them "accompanied" your music with what sounded like a (near) dead body in a car trunk.
I'm confused... Yahoo Aviate has been available in Canada for at least 3 months? I installed it back in August from the Canadian Google Play Store and love it to bits.
Heads up: I got the Comply Tx-500 (Compatible with IE8s and IE80s) to use with my Sennheiser Momentum IEs and they're about 1mm in diameter too big. Something to look out for if you're planning to get Comply tips for these earphones.
If you want a cheaper pair of airbuds, look for the sennheiser cx2** cx200 is overall good and cx250 has a volume bar. They both are noise cancelling and have good sound quality. The only thing that's a bummer is that the cable is a bit annoying since when it scrapes against a surface, you'll hear it amplified (cables are rubber).
Love that you bring Sony Xperia Z phone into your videos aswell! Always preferred Xperia phones, and wish that Linus would buy Z3! :-D AND when Z4 comes, I hope to god that Linus would reqiew it and use it as his daily phone :-)
these don't stay in my ear!! uses extra small ear tips.. facepam
lol
use the brain tingle extension lol
Use LinusTech tips
FacePam?
Here's a recolutinary idea for you.. replacement eartips
It's just fascinating how 90% of the comments aren't even closely related to audio.
Can I have your profile picture?
Lol these people
Reality can often be momentum less 🤣
Was really on the fence but this review of the Momentum and comparing the Shure SE215 has convinced me to get the Sennheiser.
Same
The shures sound better but are a pain in the ass to put on
+Caterpillow-pants Did you get them? I've been looking at the two for the past two days :D I guess I'm ordering the Sennheiser as well :D
fai9al023 I have them they sound great. Cables are a tad too long tho
Get the triple driver. Much better
The subscribe note at the beginning is better and better every time. Today's was especially great.

^Thats alot of feed back I would love to have someone keep me in cheek in my videos
hey man, I give feed back everywhere. I've been on youtube for 4 years now, and I always look for things that work and also on those that don't. I will definitely check your channel out, if you want, you want send me the video you are most proud of (not in terms of view count)
EDIT: I watched all (3) of your video. I would be happy to help you. Would you mind contacting me on my email? We can do a short google hangouts thing.
Nice to hear someone like it, i kinda start to hate them mentions the sub thingy. Maybe im just weird.
Sonic Jensen I didn't like them as well, because previously it was just literally just like, "if you don't want to miss our future content - subscribe" than many people complained and I'm not sure if it it thanks to me but I asked to change it on something where we will get some info about what is coming up.

It's less and less annoying every time. I think I'm starting to like it.
I just purchased these today and I will have them this Saturday. Gotta love amazon prime shipping.
Sean Orion I'm getting them tomorrow... How are they?
hey bro, i ended up buying them, i must say, they shout quality, with its case and all (even though the case isnt as practical as it is good looking)
the earbuds are worth it bro.. give them a try
Ah, the good ol’ Linus.
This was a fresh breath of air from the ‘new’ videos
Oh WTF this video is only in 1440p?!?! Stupid TH-cam...
That's what I thought.
***** I know hahaha, it's just funny to see it lagging behind for 4K videos and "Only having 1440p" has the highest res vs 144p
2160P now... video proccesing isnt instant you know
fiattrickbox Yes I do know ahah, i lliterally just explained above.
It's only working at 10800p for me! What terrible resolution...
Wow the timing of this could not have been more perfect! I just watched your vid on the momentum on ears last night and almost bout them but decided to hold out for now and now this!
I have the on-ear momentums and I love them so much, bought some in ears from a small independent company rated well for a similar price to the and not too impressed now I want these :(
Why do so many people ask if "Is this a good build?"... Go to the forums :/
Tell me about it
I know, it annoys me so much
They still get answers
Still annoying...
Is this a good build:
486FTW
60fps>4K and everybody can run it
I agree 120%
It's a tech review not a gameplay video.
I Agree with that as well
Harris Douglas U have a 4K monitor?
i have a 2k monitor
I was on the fence with these earphones and your review(One of the only few reviewers i trust on TH-cam) made me click Buy Now! And of course, i used your affiliate link to support the channel!
So linus .. You make a video around 6 o'clock in the morning and you don't look tired? Great job linus :D
lol dude in my country linus's upload video on 6 o'clock in evening
***** Alaska reporting in here. Currently 2:01 in the morning.
Yea, cos they don't _ever_ time video releases
It's 10pm here in Aus. I will say though, it's not like he just finished filming this, it's at least a week old.
***** funny how I'm in the middle as it's midday here

Hes trying to get his brand out there and make something of himself. Fuck him right!?

Where Is the pc oil build Linus I'm getting annoyed
He ran out of oil.
And oil price is quite high lately
In last WAN show they said it was due to be released on Monday night (I also want to see how it continues)
Would have like it if he uploaded it all up at once when it was done
Monday night I believe
Thank you for reviewing this. I have been waiting for a review on this headphones.
same here lol
I usually watch reviews at 1.25x speed. Not with Linus... not with him. LOL
Better tha most tech channel reviews! It's good to hear a review done by an audio enthusiast!
0:35 nice calves linus
Can't wait for the holiday buyers guide video
The dust with that zoom in on the ear buds O_O
There's almost always dust with these guys.. And they call themselves tech reviewers lol.
You're first point is true your second... I do not agree with just because there is dust means they aren't good tech reviewers? A lot of tech guru's are not organized when it comes to keeping things clean. Believe me I know although there are some of them that will be fanatic saying MUST CLEAN but not many.
JmanTheMinecrafter I *assure* you I'm kidding. I love Linus and if he weren't already married I'd be all over that.
oh phew XD I really thought you were serious. You know the people who are like that
And those long ass nails...
I still use these to this day, best earbuds I ever bought!
Linus, all these shitty innuendos/explicit references are starting to hurt the content in my opinion. I just think it's harder for the older guys to take the videos seriously, we're here for tech not bad comedy.
I don't see your Point I dont mind the bad jokes :) but then again im 20.
Duly noted. We take all feedback very seriously
+MyShowBro 20 doesn't mean you're old
it's fine, who cares
+Raidderr Raidderr He was saying he's young not old lol.
I've never had a Sennheiser cable fail/break so far (3 in ear phones and 2 headphones). I love them!
I Agree 110
hey guys can i run the next gen games like ac unity and far cry 4 at high settings 60 fps with my new set up?
*casio i7 scientific calculator for CPU michaelangelo as my GPU 8 years old mountain RAM 8GB SSD to be installed onto a USB port and lastly mitsubishi floor fan a123 b44 z567 DE cheese 789 superWXY 890-321x*
i want to install lights too probably a florescent ceiling lamp they look beautiful and would go well with a the cardboard box PC case :) sad that they didn't have one made out of straw.
Probably would be much higher than 60 fps. Around 3000 fps is a good target
dogfiles MC great to hear, thanks!
***** yeah u juz jealous cuz u don't have a state-of-the-art setup that can run the next gen games like me. meanwhile im thinking of having additional leonardo da vinci SLI meh i can throw in picasso as well ez
You need at least:
*TI-85 i5 scientific calculator for CPU, Voodoo 3 GFX as a GPU 16 year old 4MB SIMM RAM, and a papyrus leaf for storage.*
For the case, use halogen lights powered by car battery with mulit-colored plastic covers.
*****
No you need TI-30X Pentium MMX for CPU, ATI Rage IIc 4mb for GPU, IBM 386 "Bazin Fast" ram and 8track for Storage.
I love the signature of these as I hear alot of mid-heavy songs and with the momentums i also hear all the other sounds better. For example the constant background base in Heart On by Celldweller is much more magnificant.
I wish I could see his kid's reaction when he watches these videos in a few years XD
Linus deserves much more than 1mil subscribers
So... what are u doing with XZ2? I though you gave it away...
Borrowed Ed's. He also got a LTT skin
Oh, okay :p
+LinusTechTips how much better are the sennheiser in ears conpaired to the razer hammerheads?
Watching this review with the audio coming through MIE's in my ears. :)
HELP!
Should i buy the 1more earbuds or these ones!?
Just a quick recommendation for future audio tech reviews and such, listen to the headphones/earbuds with various genres of music and make some kind of chart to show where each one performs the greatest in. That or you could make a whole new segment in your audio videos with the same concept.
the sennheiser momentum in ear and cx 300 are amazing headphones but the problem with sennheiser is they break to easy
You must be high
The cable sucks in terms of durability.
Francie Mc Cool my momentum iems died after 7 months of heavy use
Totally agree... I'm on my 3rd replacement set in 9 months
not really
In line remote on the right side might be annoying sometimes but when I'm on my bike with a jacket on it is actually very handy.
WHERE IS THE SECOND PART OF THE MINERAL OIL PC BUILD?
Monday it will be uploaded
***** todayy ?
i cant believe im watching this on 2022 because im thinking about buying these today
"to confirm that my socks are on and ready to be blown off"... o my god, so highly intellectual joke, you are the top! :D
one of your videos helped me learn how to buy a headset according to what you want and not what the seller is trying to sell to you( i guess Luke was in it).
4:55 "Top 40 garbage music" Lol
Watched this and bought the Sennheisers. I totally agree; after going from IEs which loop over the ears these are unbelievably uncomfortable. The noise just from moving around feels deafening
Still waiting for the oil cooled PC Linus >:(
I've used Aviate for some time now and I must say that it is one of the best third-party launchers. It incorporates many convenient functions, BUT I find it difficult to place my own widgets on it.
sound is awesome but wire quality too worst
Bad OR BAD agree
Very professional ending!
i know right
Your thoughts on Samsung Level On?
Still waiting
Btw that yahoo aviate thing is actually really slick! By far the most sensical 3rd party launcher i've tried so far
Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear or Jaybirds X2?
Not considering the Wired vs Wireless characteristic, what would you guys go with?
jaybirds X2 is a sports earpiece ... and I never go for sports one because they are focused on comfort rather than the sound quality...
So, would obviously choose sennheiser over sporty X2
sennheiser, they come with xs s m and l earbuds , for msot people the xs and the s fit better i can jum,p around and they never fall out.
excellect sound quality
I personally have the shure se215's,and the only thing I have to say about using them is that you need to use a good custom eq to get the most out of them. On my one m8,the stock eq made them sound muddy which was the same result on my schiit magni. A good eq fixed the issue and they really started to sound amazing

Luke Busby-Smith I actually fought and got a replacement pair and guess what?? That's right: split in the same damn spot. I gave up. They got me. My usage is riding on a crowded train with some degree of pulling and walking with them in my pants pocket. If a pair of earbuds can't handle that then they ain't for me I guess. On the other hand I bought a pair of Audio-Technica BKS77 and they sound better and are more rugged (and the damn earpads dony come out every time my phones do)
elvistheripper I will try fight for a replacement or a refund as the store I bought them from offered a 3 year warranty but they refused me in their but stated If came in when the general manager is their he could possibly over ride the warrant and refund me; it's ridiculous how they can slap a 2 year warranty on but not stand by it at all. I've had £5 earphones that last longer.
Luke Busby-Smith yup. I feel you. I called the shop every day for a week or so haha and made them give me the ticket number and contact name at the manufacturer to prove the ticket was open. The shop ended up refunding. You might try that or send all of this info to Seinheiser themselves and complain you are getting a rough ride from the retailer. It's too much cash to just write off.
Maybe this set is good for people who never leave the house or move at all. I dont know. They are too dainty for daily commutes in Tokyo. I am
Sure of that much. Good luck!!
Dude, your verbal acuity is off the chart. SUBSCRIBED!
BTW, can you'uns please finish the oil bath PC build :-(
im watching whith a pair in my ears
I have been through many many headphones while working in a metal shop for the last 10 years. Ive been through all of ultimate ears products up to tf10s. And shures are the only ones that have more than a year on one cable. they don't sound as good as many of my other iems but they are bomb proof. and I'm a cable killing monster.
I'm broke
Me too :(
DaVinchi .o/ me tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I'm not giving a shit.
First, you have internet.
Second, you have a device capable of accessing the internet.
If you are so "broke", then go sell some stuff, you must have plenty of it.
nice vid :) when is the mineral oil submerged pc build part 2 coming? i rly liked part 1 :)
How's the sound with the sennheiser momentum, compared to apple earbuds?
+Cassandra Lykke Miles better! I honestly can't use my EarPods without cringing anymore, because of the so much better sound on the Momentums! :D Although, I still use my EarPods when laying down, as I can't do that with the Momentums. My friend has these too, and he says he can if he uses the smaller tips.
Against apple earbuds the sennheiser have better isolation and they have a very crispy high end... But bass-mids are really lacking. I don't like them and haven't yet found an high quality substitute for EarPods with "medium" isolation and good bass delivery ... Any hint?
What is the best headphones (or earphones) under $100?
-With good overall sound, bass, highs, etc.
-Extremely comfortable with good build quality.
-Not tight on the head.
-For use with Mac products.
Do you have an amp? of you do, Sennheiser HD 598 Should do the trick, If not go with audio technica ath m50x
If you can find them cheap within the $100 range (I found them in one of those airport electronic shops for literally $75), go get the ATH-MSR7s instead of the M50Xs. They're technically more consumer focused than the M50Xs are but you'll get a nicer look, even better soundstage, a more balanced sound signature, and a better seal due to memory foam. Only issue is they're usually over the $100 mark and scalpers still sell them for full $250 MSRP.
It's called MO-MEN-TUM
i read that just as he was saying it 😂
I have the momentum 2 in ear and they are gorgeous with a clear soundstage & sweet treble but without any harshness. They are excellent value for money at only £80
80? I got mine from Argos, them and Amazon sell for £60
DarkCellOfficial I actually picked them up new open box for £40 but I’ve seen some retailers selling them for as high as £80
Hey guys, I need some help. Is this a good gaming pc for €1200? Thanks.
*i5-4690, Asus gtx 970, Hyperx Fury 16gb 1866, corsair h100i or CM Nepton 280L, msi z97 g55, corsair CX600*
I want to do a white and blue build in a NZXT phantom 530 and I can't find a motherboard that really attracts me in blue so i went for the msi. To sad that Asus doesn't make blue ones.
I'm get a h105
Get a***
However, watch reviews and benchmarks first
Swiftech H220.
Did you mean a 4690? :D Otherwise, yeah, pretty nice build. The one thing i can think of that would be limiting you, would be the processor. Even a 4790k may struggle in for example a 64 player Seige of shanghai game.

Thanks In Advance.
Also Here is The Website if You Need Any More Info www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/desktop-pc-monitors/desktop-pcs/gaming-pcs/pc-specialist-vortex-hailstorm-gaming-pc-10004709-pdt.html#cat-0
If it's from PC world, don't buy it.
I'd skip the 770 and get a 970, 120 gb ssd is really small. why not build your own?
www.amazon.co.uk/gp/registry/wishlist/25GXQLNENBNM1/ref=cm_wl_huc_view Look at that? much better deal in my eyes
If it isn a i7 i would take a amd cpu there are almost exaxtly the same and cheaper and if it is intel ... Do he realy need watercooling?
I really really really wish you could make a video on a good budget 150-300 range gaming monitor
paused at 1:36
lenextechteps in action
for shure, you have to use the triple flange for the best sound
+YIC I see what you did there LOL
+YIC I see what you did there LOL
that story in the beginning was the most pointless shit ever. he sai this was either going to incredible or terrible, then concluded with "they are ok". whats the point of that whole one minute story?
Great review . direct, detailed and objective. I've just made my mind regarding my new pair of in ear headphones. I like bose but its products don't last that much, basically regarding the cable. In the end Sennheiser in ear headphones seem to be more durable and with a decent sound quality. Thanks.
this guy looks like David tennant
+vi rid No
+Rens Schothorst A little, but no.
viv vid To a BLIND MAN
Excellent video, great production value
Hey I understand that you need subscribers and all but can't you make these puns a little less? Like asking us to subscribe every video is a bit too much.
I sadly cant agree with you
I've been sub for a freaking long time but I can't agree with you at all. I mean it's not annoying and if you don't want to hear it just skip it.
Literally every career youtuber asks for subs at the end of their videos.
DanieleGiorgino Yes, there's nothing wrong with that, but now when he does it in the beginning it just becomes too much.
i said the same thing on one of his other vids its annoying ey
You should do a review on the ATH-M50's. I absolutely love mine, but would love to see what you think of them.
No need as everyone already knows it. The M50s as well as the M50Xs are pretty good bang for buck headphones with a tiny v shaped sound signature so music is balanced and slightly colored while sound balance is neutral enough to make them good studio monitors.
Of course, the M70Xs as well as the pseudo direct successor MSR7s have a better neutral sound signature and better soundstage but you're not gonna find the M70Xs easily within the same price as the M50s though the MSR7s can be found for sometimes even less than the M50s, which is a steal considering they're also Hi-Res certified
your video is full of advertisements which makes me not believe in your review ...
umm....OK? The run a business with probably hundreds of thousands of dollars of computer and server equipment and around 10 workers. Do you really think they could get by on TH-cam Ad revenue? They upload on 3 channels. Of course they're going to get sponsors. Don't let this scare you. They have plenty of poor reviews of products they got for free from their sponsors, so I believe they're at least mostly unbiased.
Eric W. whateva...
i just need a genuine review only on a product m looking for...
none of the reviews mentioned specs like sensitivity, frequency range, impedance etc of IEMs.. pfff
mo_onstruck musick does that really matter? you can look it up yourself. He doesn't mention the full specs of graphics cards when he reviews them either, because they don't matter as much as the actual performance does.
Eric W. if the earphones frequency is 20hz to 20khz, it falls in human hearing range.. if the earphone has frequency below 20hz, it will respond to low frequencies clear as compared to one with 20hz.. same with high frequencies ..
the low the minimal frequency is, the better bass response..
so, specs does matter cuz you can not listen to earphones until you have em with you..
About sensitivity - the high the sensitivity is, the more the loudness of the earphones with better clarity..
brainwavz proalpha is 115db..
sennheiser has less than 115db... i guess 100db..
mo_onstruck musick then fuck off and watch another review
I really enjoy your videos Linus, funny smart quirky dude. Thanks for quicktips and the build guides, you and TekSyndicate are the reasons I built my first Pc instead of buying an Xbone or Ps4, best decision ever, thanks
This is a cringe worthy review. Seriously.
Ghazali Sadip why?
I do agree that watching 1080p on 4K feels awful but IMO 60 hz video would be something a lot of us would love.. especially when it is easier and cheaper to produce than a 4K video :)
Just bought a pair of these second hand based on reviews saying they have excellent bass and high end, but lack a bit of mid range. I have the Momentum on ear and over ear headphones for my hi-fi, and I'm happy with the sound of these, but the buds are horrible. Loads of treble, with little to no bass. I've tried them on all my devices as well as my hi-fi, but no good result. I've had to completely turn down treble and up the bass to get anything decent! The clarity is good with little to no distortion even at higher volumes. I may have bought a damaged pair? I can't see any indication that they may be fake, so is this the norm? I'd like to hear a brand new pair (or as new as possible as these are a few years old now) for comparison.
great review.
How about a 100$ in-ear comparison video?
I mean that´s the pricerange most people buy this stuff and there are just so many competitors on the market...
That´d be great (:
Downloading now will have to check out this sponsor due to the organization Just hope it doesn't take to much control away
Great job as always! Have you reviewed the Onkyo E900M and the E700M yet? Is their High Resolution Audio support worthwhile? Can you please review them at your earliest convenience? Thank you, JA
Thanks for the great review,nd yeah they definitely are more fun to listen to than any other earphones in this range..especially shure se215
Hi Linus, how would you say these hold up compared to the SoundMagic E10?
I'm thinking of an upgrade, but don't know if these are worth the extra cash.. Do they produce a similar sound signature?
Thanks so much and great review! :)
Oliver Liew Anyone else can answer my question..? :(
The first person i heard who liked these sound more than the SHures
You just sold theese headphones to me, Linus! Thanks.
Hi linus,
Which one do you recommend as a superior earphones overall. Sennheiser momentum or the bose true sound in ear earphones? Also, and why did you choose the one or the another.
thanks,
marc
the soundquality is extraordinary!!!!
I liked that sponsor spot, short, sharp and shiny. Just the way it should be.
Hey there Linus, I'm more of a high frequency listener that enjoys the hiss of a snare drum, and cymbals. As you can tell I prefer alternative rock, and indie rock as well. Since it's the holidays, which iems are a worthy choice for me? If you can help me, that'd be wonderful. Thank you!
I've always like Sennheiser headphones, so I got a pair of these. When I got them SCREWED into my head enough to get bass response, the wires point UP, and the "trash can lids" they decided to stick on the ends dig into my ears. I could deal with wires sticking up if the remote on the right cable was further from the earbud, because I could wrap the wires around my ears and behind, but the remote winds up behind my right ear! Since the cords come out the side, they have to point up so that they don't ALSO dig holes in my ears. I guess having them come out the end is too much to ask.
I have more bud tips on order -- both baffled silicone and Comply foam tips so I'll see if they work better. I'd like to find a set that are more comfortable than the ones supplied (not sure how I could fail at that). I need to find tips that will seal in my ear canals but leave the PIE PLATES further out of my ears. They could be 1/3 the size and still serve as a way to install and remove the earbuds (and not "ditch witch" into my skin!)
I used to use Etymotic ER-6 earbuds -- a joy to use! But they stopped making parts, they fell apart and Etymotic discontinued them in favor of horrible ones that cost 4x more! Also the wires were PVC, so anything touching them "accompanied" your music with what sounded like a (near) dead body in a car trunk.
Gotta hand it to them though, having trash can lids on the ends is the best visual representation of what they are.
2014 PC BUILD GUIDE NEXT WEEK!!!! YES!!
I'm used to standard Samsung earphones.. And I just ordered these today... I hope I will feel a difference in the sound
0:33, probably the intel capsule was transformed into a badass cookie jar :3
you know you're getting deep into youtube when in 2014 linus reviewed headphones that look like they could be in a dollar store 6 years later
At lowest they’re probably 30 dollars. At highest 120 dollars. Usually it is 80 or 70. Unfortunately I bought them for 120
I'm confused... Yahoo Aviate has been available in Canada for at least 3 months? I installed it back in August from the Canadian Google Play Store and love it to bits.
Heads up: I got the Comply Tx-500 (Compatible with IE8s and IE80s) to use with my Sennheiser Momentum IEs and they're about 1mm in diameter too big. Something to look out for if you're planning to get Comply tips for these earphones.
Yes I wanted a buyers guide for sooooooo long!!!
A earphone/headphone should be reviewed when listening on flat equalizer. I think a person reviewing audio equipment should know this, Linus.
If you want a cheaper pair of airbuds, look for the sennheiser cx2**
cx200 is overall good and cx250 has a volume bar. They both are noise cancelling and have good sound quality. The only thing that's a bummer is that the cable is a bit annoying since when it scrapes against a surface, you'll hear it amplified (cables are rubber).
Love that you bring Sony Xperia Z phone into your videos aswell!
Always preferred Xperia phones, and wish that Linus would buy Z3! :-D
AND when Z4 comes, I hope to god that Linus would reqiew it and use it as his daily phone :-)
Nice 12am upload! ^^
When is the 2nd part of the oil submerged pc build?
