If you have bought M3s, can i ask you a question? Have you ever tried to use 3.5mm jack cable? Does it work properly? I changed the product three times with brand new one just because the jack input was not working properly, and still I'm having the same problem with it. I wanted to ask if there was anything I did wrong.
I have NO idea why they even make headphones with touch control. It's a nightmare. Especially the "best ever headphones" from Sony, that doesn't work if it's cold outside. I had them for a week, then returned them. With others I've head, that works better, they still don't always react. And if I'm using gloves it also doesn't work.
@@repit5014 I'd also consider the Jabra Elite 85h. (www.jabra.no/bluetooth-headsets/jabra-elite-85h#/#100-99030003-60) They are my choice at present, even after trying the new Bose top model. Jabra even advertise that they can be used in the rain. I use them both for call, music, and audio books, and I've got no complains. Though I'd say that the Sennheisers have WAY better design.
They are the best sony's though. And the issue is due to temp calibration. Just turn it on outside and you're all good. And anyway if you're complaining about some such as that then grow the fuck up dude fucking first world problems
Got my momentum 2 wireless for 2 years and they are awesome. The quality is extremely good. Use them for at least 2 hours a day and they still look like new

I'm 100% sure he was just too stupid to choose the correct input on his computer. That really sounds horrible and I don't get in my head how he could tell us this is "focused on voice well" because I almost puked. I own the "old" Momentum 2 and the mics on this one are great already.
Love my Momentum 3's the sound stage is amazing. I hate the case and and mic on phone calls is subpar, but I purchased these primarily for their sound quality. Great review!

Dude PLEASE never argue against cable connectivity. Please. Its just soooo convenient to be able to use a headphone jack when you need to. I am traveling a lot and on the airplane the cable is just so nice to have. You can watch your movie with actually good sound and noise cancelling. I am afraid that if reviewers like you say that this is a potential downside, Sennheiser might remove them. Thanks buddy
I do have the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 wireless that I have been using during my long run every weekend. Still good condition and the wire on the outside never had issues. The sound quality is superb with good balance on bass and treble especially using the Sennheiser CapTune app or the native Samsung music app on my phone.
Same here. Had my M2W since 2015 and still no sign of the wires deteriorating. I always stored it inside a moderately cramped deuter bag pack (without the sennheiser case, so the headphone was subjected to physical pressure). Its just that I don't run with this thing on my head.
reysaj TM I hope you see this, quick question you use these while working out right? Does it stay on your head well while running, do you think it will last a while using it in extreme conditions?
Don't be worried about the cables breaking above the earcups. I have a previous version with the same style of cables, and they are strong and durable.
Ok, so the the fact that you can't turn them off without first folding them is the reason I personally will never buy these headphones. Too bad. What were they thinking? Were they drunk during their UX-brainstorming sessions? Talk about using tech just for the sake of it.
Definitely buying. Adjustable noise cancelling is such a nice upgrade from momentum 2 (where it's always on), and thank god they kept the simultaneous 2-device connectivity. I hope they also make a special edition like the Pink Floyd edition for momentum 2, I just love that colourful stiching so much. As for audio quality/signature I'll try trying the headphone before buying, but I do trust Sennheiser for nailing the audio part.
Luckily I pointed that out to you gamesky cause your a sennhieser fan as I am and seems satisfied with the changes they have made over the years I hope with the pxc 550s 2 anc is better than the original pxc 550s
I got these 4 days ago, best purchase. Please note that these are not headphones for ppl who do not put a price on bassy music. I listen reggae music, I'm blown away. Literally the headphones are trembling on the right tracks which is mind bending. For me, from a scale from 1 to 10, these are a major, major, major, major go.
Hi, I'm considering getting one of these but I have a quick question. When I connect with the cable I got ZERO latency, right? I'm asking because I'd like to eventually record a band using this.
As an HD800 owner I love bright crisp treble clarity. These headphones with their eq allows for perfect simblance in your tidal Hifi / Master / Flac tracks. Downside no APTx-HD and no LDAC even if your phone supports it
They would be crazy to not support that in the Momentum 4s so if you are a purist and own a set of open back $1000+ wired headphones wait for 1 year or sell the momentum 3s or get in line for the pandas
Best sound but ugly and heavy. Nothing beats the sound of these and I own B&0 h9i, tried Master & Dynaminc and the older MHD1 and M2. My only complaint is I don’t use them as often as I would bc they are too heavy and cumbersome. I get Sennheiser wanted to accommodate all the people with giant ears complaining the ear ups on previous versions were too small but really they went the extreme and put hubcaps on these things. The ear ups are ridiculous and need to be redesigned. They look stupid and are heavy.
I have hearing problems and wanted to know which out of the three, Momentum 3/Q700/XM3 can be turned up the loudest? Any recommendations will be much appreciated
I have xm3 and momentum 3, and Momentum 3 is louder than xm3, still dont know the q700. But I would suggest M3 for sure, better sound quality, much comfortable and enough amount of ANC
7:50 - what do you mean that you "tried to tweak it to get it flat"? What is your measure of "flat"? I've seen other reviews that captured data and it looks pretty level all the way up to about 15khz where it dips a little, but not a lot. i1.wp.com/www.gadgetguy.com.au/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/SM-FR.jpg You say that they are a bit bassy and trebbly, but then you say at 9:00 that the mids really stand out as well, being clear and well separated. So I'm confused.
Really nice review. These are audiophile BT/ANC aimed at folks who travel or work in an office setting and need to cancel surrounding noise while enjoying their FLAC files or listening to podcasts. These are SQ first, BT second (no LDAC, no APTX HD) and ANC last. I'm seriously looking at these, as they likely fit my needs and give me great SQ. Also I completely agree the PXC 550 v2 is the actual competitor to the Bose 700 and the Sony, due out in October.
I'd say the ANC on these is about a 9. I tried the Sony, and in my opinion the Sennheiser's ANC is almost neck to neck with the Sony. I've used them on the bus and on the train, and they kill almost all of the noise. The only thing that the ANC sometimes misses are noises at higher frequencies, like police sirens etc. Otherwise the ANC creates a near perfect seal. I recommend these headphones very much.
Good review, better than most, except that like the other reviews, there is no mention of latency, which is so important when watching videos and using music making apps.
Well the touch controls on my pair of newer Sonys are actually one of the main reasons I'm looking into models like this instead. Nothing but an unnecessary pain in the ass. Can't tell you how many times just adjusting or touching the headphones causes it to launch a song on Spotify when a movie is playing, makes a song I paused resume, etc. And at times when I do want to tap it to pause something it takes multiple tries before it senses it. All for what? To say OOOHHH LOOK AT MY TOUCH CONTROL PLAY & PAUSE! SO CUTTING EDGE! Been using the Sony wireless series for like over a decade & never experienced any of this annoyance when they used a standard button & pause/play worked every time
Great review. I have the Bose QC35ii - great for flying long trips. Been considering adding the Momentum 3 's mainly for listening to tunes at home, so sound is the primary concern ....and your review has convinced me. Many thanks !
I really didn't get your review here....These headphones don't do more than the Sonys and the Sonys last way longer( 13-15 hours is a joke). The phone quality absolutely sucks... And if these aren't n/c headphones ..why have the feature....so yes they are n/c headphones and yes they are in the league as all other n/c headphones.
Got them on saturday,got previous momentum as well here are the things that I do not like about them. Hinges -they unfold too easily as you take them out off the case they do that straight away without my interaction. Proximity sensor is not too sensitive despite of what one of the reviews was saying-if I don't put them correctly on my ears,that the ear is fully inside of the can they won't resume playing. Hinges that adjust fit to your head,they are more sensitive then previous model meaning that when I take them off and put them on my head they will change fit, they should be more firm. Can you tell me if you experience similar with yours or maybe mine are like that. After 3 weeks of using they are broken. They do not even try to connect to any bluetooth device,they turn on but won't connect, microphones started working exactly same as my momentum 2.0 it's started to pick up every background noise even when walking it's difficult to hear me because of noise I produce,I live with window facing street and my dad said that he can't hear me because of the cars while I was inside of my house. Replaced them today but I still remember that I was replacing momentum2 twice,something starts building my concerns about sennheiser.
Great review. There one question about connectivity. Can u use headphones by USB (like Momentum 2 did) and USB-C on new smartphones with no jack (for me it's like killer feature)?
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 really haven't noticed a real difference between aptx and aptx HD. As for Ldac. Its technically the best. But i dont think it sounds the most fun to me. Other than that, I just wish these headphones had more than 17 hours of battery. Thats kinda disappointing in 2019.
@Ezugo Obuekwe I dont understand why some premium headphone companies even release headphones with less than 20 hours of battery. There are companies on amazon that are making headphones with like 70+ hour battery life headsets. Its kinda ridiculous how these high end brands keep skimping out on battery.
@@shawnorjiakor Alot of the time codecs literally mean nothing. Ive used headphones that supported certain codecs and yet they didnt sound that great. And ive used headphones that dont have any codec support and yet sound crystal clear and nice. So idk man. Codecs dont automatically mean good sound.
The Momentum 3 head-phones are a death trap. Death trap for finger or the hand that is. If one is not careful when unfolding the phones ---- a portion of the finger, or even a portion of the hand can potentially get nipped when the spring-loaded mechanism does the abrupt flip-out thing when it unfolds. Anything - like the side of the finger - that just so-happens to be in that gap region (where the sharp metal corners are) --- can get either a nasty pinch, or maybe even a little chunk taken out. Those sharp corners/edges should have been rounded off --- made less sharp, so that it doesn't pinch or cut.
Can anyone answer if they get hot after an hour or so?? My Sony xm10003 get very hot for me was thinking of getting these instead of anyone have a recommendation? Would greatly appreciate it
Mine are coming today. This is the most I have ever spent on headphones. I’m really excited to use these with Tidal Hifi. These will mainly be for at home since I don’t travel that much. I spent hours watching reviews, thanks!! I went with the sennys because of sound quality and that’s what I am looking for! Thank you!
I have ordered this hardshell case for them, I can let you know in a few days if they work well www.amazon.de/gp/product/B016KV79X8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@@rasmus98000 That's a wrong case, it will kill the headphones battery in no time. M3s needs to be folded to shut them off so definitely the case what you suggest is a no no
I don't get the appeal of touch controls. They're less efficient, less reliable, don't work with gloves, and freak out with low temperatures. Buttons all the way.
@@warishasan9451 Type in Crusher ANC into amazon and then scroll down a little bit. You will see a black pair and a red pair. You are able to pre order them. 👌.
not a review but more of an unboxing. Things I would have liked to know: - with the previous generation if you plug in the cable, bluetooth turns off automatically and cannot be turned on (which is a good thing) -> still the same? - with the previous generation I can't have bluetooth connection and NO noise cancelling. this fixes that. - with the previous generation the headband had absolutely no padding but was easy to mod (foam). this looks like it's not-so-easy to mod.
Maybe answered already - these are around-ear wireless headphones, that cup over the whole ear. Are they making an on-ear wireless one where the cushion presses against the ear (ie. OEBT)?
I guess this is a choice of outside cables or creaky headbands. And I definitely find the cables less distracting than creaky headbands. Especially creaky headbands in $400+ headphones.
The whole cable outside thing is irrelevant. I had the second generation which are very similar for over 3 years now. I use them at the gym daily, never store them in the case and basically throw them when putting away every day. They have so far been indestructible and still look brand new. All the other headphones I have had previously I have managed to break/destroy within 6 months. Incredible quality and I hope these will be the same.
Hi gamesky sunnheiser have another wireless headphones to beat the Sony m3 and the Bose 700 the name of the sunnheiser headphone is sunnheiser pxc 550 headphone
Ive heard that, it would kill the headset because it doesnt have sweat or rain protection. You shouldnt consider this pair if you wanna use them at gym
you can used these wired right? is the sound better if you use wire to an receiver? i mean if its clearly a difference with HD audio through wire compared to streaming crap no headphone is better than the quality it gets right crap in crap out ;)
They can be used wired and also with the USB cable (using the headphone built-in DAC) No detectable difference in sound quality for all but a few audiophiles with "golden-ears".
If anyone uses this headphone with iOS, can you please tell me if there is any audio lag when watching videos, especially TH-cam and Netflix? I heard that there is a noticeable lag on TH-cam, only on iOS. This would be a huge dealbreaker to me, can anyone please confirm whether it’s true or not? Many thanks
If you have bought M3s, can i ask you a question? Have you ever tried to use 3.5mm jack cable? Does it work properly? I changed the product three times with brand new one just because the jack input was not working properly, and still I'm having the same problem with it. I wanted to ask if there was anything I did wrong.
Anıl Eryılmaz have you made sure to twist the cable into place when plugging into the jack? It should lock into place, if you can pull it out without twisting you don’t have it in right. But my cable worked exceptionally well, I don’t have them anymore as I sold them to get high end hifi gear.

@@anlerylmaz8415 works fine for me ..first switch off the headset ..u can do that by pressing the center button for 5 secs ..connect the wire and it works fine ..however they sound better wirelessly..through usb c cable too they are amazing as the headphone stays on then and uses the headphone dac and amplifier
Once the phones are 'off', you can't just push the button to turn it back on again. I have a pair of M3, but don't like the way that we need to turn on the phones by folding and then unfolding. It just means more mechanical movement, which probably reduces the life of the mechanism that turns the head-phones on and off. I'm not sure what sort of mechanism it is though --- that does the switching when we unfold and fold. Hopefully it is well-tested and reliable. But - I still don't like the idea of needing users to fold and unfolded - just to power up the phones.

They are good. Not great. Sound good but not great Bt range. When walking or moving they stutter quite a bit. I use mine while resting in bed or taking a shower and they are fine.
Thanks for the review. Could you please tell me if these headphones are loud, my earring isn’t as sharp as it used to be and Sennheiser don’t usually make loud headphones. The only ones I have tested that are loud enough for me are B&W PX and P7 wireless the latter being my favourites and VMODA crossfade wireless 2 which are loud enough but lacking in sound quality.

Proximity sensor is not too sensitive despite of what one of the reviews was saying-if I don't put them correctly on my ears,that the ear is fully inside of the can they won't resume playing. Hinges that adjust fit to your head,they are more sensitive then previous model meaning that when I take them off and put them on my head they will change fit, they should be more firm.
Can you tell me if you experience similar with yours or maybe mine are like that.
After 3 weeks of using they are broken. They do not even try to connect to any bluetooth device,they turn on but won't connect, microphones started working exactly same as my momentum 2.0 it's started to pick up every background noise even when walking it's difficult to hear me because of noise I produce,I live with window facing street and my dad said that he can't hear me because of the cars while I was inside of my house. Replaced them today but I still remember that I was replacing momentum2 twice,something starts building my concerns about sennheiser.

How is the new pair?
They look good.....bright..you ever going to review the jabra elite h85? Or just going to wait until the Version 2?.
First
Great review. There one question about connectivity. Can u use headphones by USB (like Momentum 2 did) and USB-C on new smartphones with no jack (for me it's like killer feature)?
yep, you can use the usb-c to usb-c as an aux cord for audio
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?
Sound as good as the nuraphones ?
It's not the best Bluetooth codecs if its missing LDAC and AptX HD...🙄🤦♂️
I really haven't noticed a real difference between aptx and aptx HD.
As for Ldac.
Its technically the best.
But i dont think it sounds the most fun to me.
Other than that,
I just wish these headphones had more than 17 hours of battery.
Thats kinda disappointing in 2019.
@Ezugo Obuekwe I dont understand why some premium headphone companies even release headphones with less than 20 hours of battery.
There are companies on amazon that are making headphones with like 70+ hour battery life headsets.
Its kinda ridiculous how these high end brands keep skimping out on battery.
True. At least to have Apt-x HD for that price.
@@shawnorjiakor Alot of the time codecs literally mean nothing.
Ive used headphones that supported certain codecs and yet they didnt sound that great.
And ive used headphones that dont have any codec support and yet sound crystal clear and nice.
So idk man.
Codecs dont automatically mean good sound.
@Danny Very true 😉👌
The Momentum 3 head-phones are a death trap. Death trap for finger or the hand that is. If one is not careful when unfolding the phones ---- a portion of the finger, or even a portion of the hand can potentially get nipped when the spring-loaded mechanism does the abrupt flip-out thing when it unfolds. Anything - like the side of the finger - that just so-happens to be in that gap region (where the sharp metal corners are) --- can get either a nasty pinch, or maybe even a little chunk taken out. Those sharp corners/edges should have been rounded off --- made less sharp, so that it doesn't pinch or cut.
I just bought these for $145.
$400.00🎧😱😱😱😱😫
go to ebay they have them 250-300 range
Can anyone answer if they get hot after an hour or so?? My Sony xm10003 get very hot for me was thinking of getting these instead of anyone have a recommendation? Would greatly appreciate it
Mine are coming today. This is the most I have ever spent on headphones. I’m really excited to use these with Tidal Hifi. These will mainly be for at home since I don’t travel that much. I spent hours watching reviews, thanks!! I went with the sennys because of sound quality and that’s what I am looking for! Thank you!
No problem, definitely enjoy them
Gamesky hell yeah. I need an after market hardshell case for this bad boy. Any ideas?
@@tas9158 not sure....I was looking at a few different ones myself
I have ordered this hardshell case for them, I can let you know in a few days if they work well

@@rasmus98000 That's a wrong case, it will kill the headphones battery in no time. M3s needs to be folded to shut them off so definitely the case what you suggest is a no no
#wirelessbass? bruh 😂 😂 😂
I don't get the appeal of touch controls. They're less efficient, less reliable, don't work with gloves, and freak out with low temperatures. Buttons all the way.
Great video!
These headphones are beautiful!
Btw, Have you pre ordered the new Skullcandy Crusher ANC?
They are available on amazon right now.
😉👌.
Do you have a link bro?
@@warishasan9451 Type in Crusher ANC into amazon and then scroll down a little bit.
You will see a black pair and a red pair.
You are able to pre order them.
👌.
Cant find them :(
@@warishasan9451 Weird.
I cant find them anymore either.
Maybe they were taken down.
Who knows.
Ohh. How much did they cost?
not a review but more of an unboxing.
Things I would have liked to know:
- with the previous generation if you plug in the cable, bluetooth turns off automatically and cannot be turned on (which is a good thing) -> still the same?
- with the previous generation I can't have bluetooth connection and NO noise cancelling. this fixes that.
- with the previous generation the headband had absolutely no padding but was easy to mod (foam). this looks like it's not-so-easy to mod.
Please tell me which sounds better between these and the Drop & THX PANDAS???
Maybe answered already - these are around-ear wireless headphones, that cup over the whole ear. Are they making an on-ear wireless one where the cushion presses against the ear (ie. OEBT)?
400 dollar - phew, that’s a lot
Is it possible to charge and listen this headphones?
Yes you can charge and use them at the same time
@@sandlerthe tnx, but I have already bought them and they are perfect.
Cables outside and that price range tag make these a no go. Great video though.
I guess this is a choice of outside cables or creaky headbands. And I definitely find the cables less distracting than creaky headbands. Especially creaky headbands in $400+ headphones.
Can you review the Marshall monitor 2 anc and compare the sound to these. How do these compare soundwise to the momentum 2/hd1?
I like the sound quality but it's so darn heavy :( I went for Bose QC35ii for the extreme comfort but I compromised slightly on the sound quality
Just use the EQ to bring the bass down 2-3db and you're golden.
The whole cable outside thing is irrelevant. I had the second generation which are very similar for over 3 years now. I use them at the gym daily, never store them in the case and basically throw them when putting away every day. They have so far been indestructible and still look brand new. All the other headphones I have had previously I have managed to break/destroy within 6 months. Incredible quality and I hope these will be the same.
Doesn't the sweat damage the ear cushions?
@@kefvedie No issues leather still looks really good.
@@josipzv great news, build construction is probably my main priority with headphones. if the breaksits a complete loss
can someone comment if the sound profile is essentially the same as the Momentum 2.0 wired?
Can u use them with a 2.5mm to 2.5mm cable on the balanced output, like on the fiio m9
Which sounds better between this the air pods pro max or drop & THX panda?
I Knew This Would Be a Good Video At 0:20. The Statement Made "Audiophile" Sense To Me. 🤝
I just return the bose 700 and got this
Tomorrow they come
. And the concert is on!
How is it? How do they sound?
Davide Masia
Did you regret? Did you find it better or worse than the Bose NC 700?
Hi gamesky sunnheiser have another wireless headphones to beat the Sony m3 and the Bose 700 the name of the sunnheiser headphone is sunnheiser pxc 550 headphone
Very detailed review as always.
wow that mic test (a nice touch for the review btw) sounded like less than 64kbps.....
Anyone able to give any feedback on how these would be for use in the gym?? (I mean insofar as coming in contact with sweat!! 🥵😬) thank-you 🙏🏼
Ive heard that, it would kill the headset because it doesnt have sweat or rain protection. You shouldnt consider this pair if you wanna use them at gym
Great review as usual. Btw if you can get your hands of the AKG k361 or the 71's could you review them ?
you can used these wired right?
is the sound better if you use wire to an receiver?
i mean if its clearly a difference with HD audio through wire compared to streaming crap
no headphone is better than the quality it gets right
crap in crap out ;)
They can be used wired and also with the USB cable (using the headphone built-in DAC) No detectable difference in sound quality for all but a few audiophiles with "golden-ears".
Ohh can't use this with headphone stand..
sifuazlan yes u can bro.. just press the multi function button for 4 seconds WHILE opening the headphones.. it will open and then power off..
To on it after that, just fold it back and open it up..
IMO the mic of this headphone sounds kinda crappy
If anyone uses this headphone with iOS, can you please tell me if there is any audio lag when watching videos, especially TH-cam and Netflix? I heard that there is a noticeable lag on TH-cam, only on iOS. This would be a huge dealbreaker to me, can anyone please confirm whether it’s true or not?
Many thanks
no lag
Well I know what pair of headphones I’m getting next.
If you have bought M3s, can i ask you a question?
Have you ever tried to use 3.5mm jack cable? Does it work properly?
I changed the product three times with brand new one just because the jack input was not working properly, and still I'm having the same problem with it. I wanted to ask if there was anything I did wrong.
Anıl Eryılmaz have you made sure to twist the cable into place when plugging into the jack? It should lock into place, if you can pull it out without twisting you don’t have it in right. But my cable worked exceptionally well, I don’t have them anymore as I sold them to get high end hifi gear.
Anıl Eryılmaz another thing to check is the source, maybe your phone or what ever your source you use is the issue and not the headphone jack.
@@ATK. It was my fault since the beginning. I wasn't pushing enough the 2.5mm cable to the headset, LOL. Thanks dude :D
Flat response ? Bose soundlink AE2 wireless these are amazing.
Is this sound better than Sennheiser HD-558 ? Or most other 200$ good Wired Headphone ?
and how it compare to HD598 in sound quality ?
Yes, better.
Thank god physical buttons!!!
Great review sir. gonna buy these soon
Thanks, you wont be disappointed
I like the case.
I've been hanging for this review, I'm actually considering getting these

@@anlerylmaz8415 works fine for me ..first switch off the headset ..u can do that by pressing the center button for 5 secs ..connect the wire and it works fine ..however they sound better wirelessly..through usb c cable too they are amazing as the headphone stays on then and uses the headphone dac and amplifier
when keep pushing the play boton for 3 sec you turn them on or off... so yes you don't need to fold them
Once the phones are 'off', you can't just push the button to turn it back on again. I have a pair of M3, but don't like the way that we need to turn on the phones by folding and then unfolding. It just means more mechanical movement, which probably reduces the life of the mechanism that turns the head-phones on and off. I'm not sure what sort of mechanism it is though --- that does the switching when we unfold and fold. Hopefully it is well-tested and reliable. But - I still don't like the idea of needing users to fold and unfolded - just to power up the phones.
Does the sound quality change when used with the cable?
It does with usb-c connection. It's more crisp and clear.
Not with 3.5 mm jack

@@anlerylmaz8415 yes it does work properly, but it's kinda hard to plug it in as the jack input hole has a weird twist and turn thing going on there ,maybe this is what you're having problems with ?
i love the sennheiser bass. its awesome
Great review! Does the Sennheiser eq work with streaming music? (Spotify etc.)
Thanks. And yes, the eq does work with streaming services. Definitely not like the Captune app
$595 in Australia .
Crikey mate!
i just bought some used ones $300 still has the button sticker
what is your favorite wireless headset?
for me I love my hyper x cloud flight best wireless headset for me
"muh gaymen headset"
Are the earfun free actually really good or are they not work 40 bucks
They are good. Not great. Sound good but not great Bt range. When walking or moving they stutter quite a bit. I use mine while resting in bed or taking a shower and they are fine.
When did they release?
Thanks for the review. Could you please tell me if these headphones are loud, my earring isn’t as sharp as it used to be and Sennheiser don’t usually make loud headphones. The only ones I have tested that are loud enough for me are B&W PX and P7 wireless the latter being my favourites and VMODA crossfade wireless 2 which are loud enough but lacking in sound quality. Please put my mind at rest before I purchase
Haman David why if you don’t mind me asking

That's good that the sound stage isn't so huge like other Sennheiser's.
I have other Sennheisers that have a wider soundstage because they are open-back. These are closed-back and this affects the soundstage.
`love the physical buttons. the touch pad on my Sony Xm3's works 25% at best. Hate the fold to shut-off though as I hang my headphones on a hook
T HOFF there is an on and off button. He was wrong with that statement
@@Simon-hi5fv where???
