I'm looking for good sound quality closed back im thinking this or the Oppo PM-3 any other recommendations?
Does any one no of any larger ear pads that will fit on the momentum 1.0
How do these compare to the oppo pm3? I have the m2s right now and I like them, but I find them sort of uncomfortable these days and just meh.
Love a good detailed review. Would like to see you actually put them on and show the fit and comfort etc. (And not just for the last 7 seconds of the video!). But otherwise, a very useful review, thank you.
Please brother, tell me can they sound "painfuuly", I mean pretty pretty loud? Thnx! According to your opinion which headphones have emphasized, but detailed, clear bass?
i use my HD650 with sonarworks 4.1, 650s sound amazing. They have a curve for momentums too, both wired and bluetooth version, worth trying with these. Any body tried?
Hi ! I want to get these next week,and currently I own a pair of Beats Pro. Do these sound better? I listen to a lot of rap music,sometimes rock and EDM,but rap 99% and that is old 90's rap.
Do you think that I will be satisfied with these? or should I stay with Beats Pro?
Seriously I had this for a year now. And I just learned that the cable can be pulled off from watching your video. thx so much.
sold my pair ....what would be an upgrade. need closed back and somewhat portable
Good review, as always! How do these compare to the HD 598 Cs you reviewed? Is the mid-range tonality better? I have the 598 Cs but I always have to eq the mid-range because stock is too nasal / shouty. Is it worth paying double for the M2? Thanks
+Eddie C nah I still don't think these are worth more than 100-150. Get a K553, much more detail there than the 598cs which has a known narrow annoying upper mid notch like you said
Been trying to find a comparison between the two for so long, finally found this video and this comment. Thank you both
This is really is a prof reviewer who knows where it,all about. Good quality or not,that,s all. The best reviewer.
i love my MDR1 a headphones by sony... please do a review, im trying to find something that i enjoy more but seriously cant find one
Thanks for describing headphones the way that you do man. No one else dives quite so deep on sound quality. I like these headphones but I could never talk myself into buying my own pair.
These are a good counterpart to my HD 650s, they of course are not as good as the 650s, but sound very similar and they are portable
How would you describe these with the akg k 361 and k371? which do you think is better for recording?
Very thorough review, thank you..
I have this wireless for about 150$ on sale should i get it ?
should I get these or the HD599 for home use?
Your reviews are great! I was wondering which one would be better between Momentum 2.0 and Beoplay H6 (2nd Gen) for modern symphony orchestras (example: Lord of the Rings)?
Andres Eduardo Rodriguez Is go for the Beoplay. Much nicer build with no plastic, and the H6 has richer and fuller sounding mids.
What Over-Ear headphones wired headphones should i buy for £150-230? Anyone recommend anything currently? i need to upgrade
So what headphones do you prefer for mainly pop, indie, rap, alternative with a lot of hidden sounds that aren't distinct on certain speakers and earbuds?
Closed back wise, I'd say K553/K550MK2
Any recommendations for a fan of the HD25s? I've been looking for some bluetooth headphones for commuting but everything i come across seems to be all bass and treble with no mid. Maybe these will suit my taste... I'll be hunting for a pair to try on... prepared to pay a price for that sweet delicious mid :)
HD25 for me are king. If only the did an over ear version as after a couple hours they get uncomfortable.
I know they’re a bit older at this point but would you ever be open to try reviewing the Audiotechnica ATH-MSR7? I’ve had a pair for several months and *I* think they sound great but I’d love your opinion on them.
found these headphones at 160€ i immediatly fell in love with them and searched and looked all the reviews. I want some portable headphones and i mainly listen to rock - metal - punk a bit classic and sometimes a bit of "popish" stuff. I do want some good bass tho... All the reviews are mainly pretty good... shall i buy them or they do not worth the price?
Great review as always man but I really need your help here. Big Sennheiser fan here, HD650 are my end game headphones. Looking for portables now, should I pick up Momentum 2 or Sennheiser HD598Cs? I mainly listen to progressive rock and electronic music. I mostly care about sound quality. I hate harsh peaky treble and I really love some smooth full mids and a nice bass, basically HD650 sound signature.
Could you review Sny MDR-1AM2? I think it comparable with this headphone
I've heard both, currently own the 1AM2. 1AM2 has definitely much better, tighter and stronger bass impact than Momentums, more mid-bass and less sub-bass. And it also has highs! On the Momentum, they were really relaxed, kinda like HD650. But 1AM2 has a mild u-shaped sound. Vocals were about the same on both, a bit more boosted on Momentum, but they were more organic and natural (flatter) on 1AM2. Overall the vocal quality and high quality was much better on 1AM2.
Other than that, 1AM2 wins in comfort. But the Momentum isolates outside noise much better, so there's that. And Momentum gives you a better carrying case, with 1AM2 you get a simple pouch. Considering you can find the 1AM2 now for like 170$, which is I'd say is a great deal, it totally depends on your preferences.
What's the sound quality difference between wired and wireless versions of these headphones?
Andriuxas9 Wired is absolutely excellent. Wireless needs equalizer adjustments to sound great.
I haven't tried the wired ones from this video but I did try the wireless ones passively with a cable and they sound great (top 2 that I've heard) but once you go wireless, ANC is always enabled and the sound suffers quite a lot.
Would a Sennheiser HD599 be one of the better overall choices for music listening disregarding portability (rock being the main genre listened)? Would you prefer another pair at the ~200 price range for the aforementioned use? Thanks and great work, very thorough.
+pancon5 nah those new Sennheisers are overpriced. Try an A900X, perhaps a DT770 80 ohm
Thank you very much, will do, I trust your judgement.
I've tried these on at a local store and didn't even get to check the sound before I took them off. The discomfort was too overbearing with glasses.
I have had these for a few years and would say this review is pretty accurate. The earcups are indeed small, so they feel nice and snug at first, but become a little claustrophobic after a few hours. Other than that, they are pretty comfy. Very lightweight and the perfect amount of clamp. I'd best describe the sound as pleasant and slightly warm (although I haven't compared them to many others). Definitely a little kick in the lower end.
Funny, I was deciding between these and the MSR7s and after demoing, I agree with what you've said.
Curious what you would say about the MSR7s or the Sony MDR 1As.
I tried MDR 1A, and I can tell you the bass is really messy and unclear, not too much punch, but too much low bass. Everything else is fine. Really comfy, really good loking, good mids and highs and good stereo imaging.
MSR7 is bright leaning and a little lean in the bass. Almost reviewed them but not too exciting. Might be a good thing, will have to consider reviewing a pair. 1A is quite v shaped
Dani Xtr dude wtf is wrong with my Mdr-1a everyone says it's bassy and messy, but my pair is the exact opposite and it's not bassy at all,
Sounds bass light, nassaly and harsh like wtf?
+1-Step Fury depends on your frame of reference, like what headphones you came from before
To the point of frame of reference, I had heard what I considered a "slightly bass heavy" M40x, but my friend had said that it was light on bass. My preference for a brighter tone definitely affected my sense of what "neutral" actually was (the M40x being considered mostly neutral by general consensus).
I ended up with the MSR7s as they were sort of like a K553 but with a bit more shimmer in the treble, and correct me if I'm wrong, but also perceived faster bass than the K553 (I mainly listen to fast metal, and double bass kick drums sounds awesome on the MSR7s).
Excellent review. I like these because they are similar sounding to the HD 650, they are portable, foldable, comfortable, and classy looking.
The mid range is hard and forward, but I have used a smiley face eq. I have had them for a couple years, and my brain has adjusted to the sound of the mid range so they do not sound as hard and woolly as they did when I first got them.
I haven't found a portable foldable lifestyle headphone I like more, but I am willing to try it if I can find it
+Headphonefanboy623 - a built in smiley curve portable would be the MDR-1A but I haven't reviewed them in depth yet
metal571 thank you. I tried the 1A one day in the store, and I thought they sounded like M2, but it's been too long ago for me to say for sure. I had Nad Viso HP50, and they sounded pretty good, but they had a creaky build quality and a creepy look and they did not fold up
+Headphonefanboy623 - HP50 has amazing measurements. Always wanted to try one of those. But yeah 1A is a very different sound to the momentum
I love the hp50. One of my favs, for sure. I don't care about the build quality, lol. It's too good to ignore.
@@metal571 can you please review the 1a or the 1am2?
Ist class excellent review i really dig these cans man
I'm curious how you'd compare the sound of these to DT770 80ohms.
Totally opposite. DT770 very bright and bassy with a large stage for a closed back while these are mid focused but also a little bassy and dark on the treble with a small stage
@@metal571 idk if you see this but wich headphones would you prefer for music production
Hello,
I am a beginner transcriptionist, who is on a headphone hunt right now
You said that the midrange is forward with these headphones, so do you think they're a good pair for transcribing?
I have a liking on these ones, but didn't find any information on the topic.
I think a much better value would be the Creative Aurvana Live which also has a forward midrange where the voice would sit
@@metal571 Great! Thank you for your quick reply
I just ordered a used pair for 67 bucks from eBay, curious to see how it all fair against my AKG 240s and Byerdynamic 770s as I need a Bluetooth headphone to use with my new iPad Pro.
Worth noting that I have not heard or reviewed the Bluetooth versions, and the newest momentum 3 measures quite differently
Interesting review - thank you.
I bought a pair of these BEFORE watching your review. I bought these exclusively for classical listening and editing of audio files. The headphones very comfortable and the sound is nice. I'd been using a pair of AKG K240's for the last 35 years (still work, but the head support has fallen apart).
I looked at the Bose 35s (considering buying these or the wireless version of the Momentum 2), but decided that the price was too high, considering I wasn't going to use them away from the computer very often.
My son uses the Bose 35 and they are very comfortable.
Several reviews seemed to think the M2s had better sound quality than the Bose and the M2 has won some interesting awards.
It is for these reasons that I went for these M2.
The cable is quite short (necessary for use with mobiles) - I'm not sure how robust this cable is - so I'm going to try to source a replacement cable about 3 m long (not an extender).
When Sonarworks produces the true-fi calibration module for these headphones, I expect the the headphones will sound even better.
+Norman Young my goto recommendation for a closed back for mixing mastering and editing work is the AKG K553 nowadays. Much cleaner sounding driver than these things, basically no EQ needed as there's also very little coloration just in case you look for a new pair in the future
So what do you say is best in this price class ?? Since you down graded these headphones,, what do u prefer ??
+Douglas Jones generally for closed backs under 200 the K553 is still my pick
I like these, but they are kind of dark. A bit forward in the mid range. But they are still good headphones, not worth the big bucks like you say, but probably worth 200
Can you please recommend one between this Momentum 2.0 Over Ear, 598 Cs & DT770 80 ohm, mostly for movie watching purpose.
Movies I'd definitely say DT770
Wow. Thanks a lot.
Is DT770 is the best option in this price range. Else can you please suggest any other Closed back - Over ear head phones for the same purpose.
If we are talking purely movies and under 200 bucks, I'd still get the DT770. Its strong subwoofer-like bass and articulate and slightly forward highs make movie watching very enjoyable.
Thanks again. Really appreciate you advise.
What amplifier you use? Dynamic drivers, specially those with such LOW impedances can get really messy with high impedance amplifiers, even the iphone 6s jack's output impedance is too high for the momentums (4ohms i suppose)
Google Pixel's Output Impedance is too high for these headphones, at 4.8 ohms those could affect Frequency response and also damping factor.
Magni 3. Super low output impedance. The issues this headphone has are major resolution problems. Even if the sound signature was changed via Zout, that wouldn't hurt it as much as the major lack of transparency already does at the price they charge for these
@@metal571 I see, thanks for the answer, someone is offering the wireless version in exchange for an extra pair of He4xx I have, what do you think, is it a good exchange?
Lol no the 4xx is great by comparison, just brighter than my preference but it can be equalized. That review is currently pending as I have one of those in house right now
@@metal571 The thing is, I'm considering the exchange since I've been waiting for a buyer for a long time, and I already have a personal pair of 4xx, maybe the Momentums will prove to be an easier pair to sell than the He4xx.
If you try a 20hz-20khz sound sweep you will find that the area between about 3-10khz is recessed a lot and thdy have an annoying peak at about 11khz and then fall again a lot. They emphasize a lot on the bass and a little on the male vocals. At least this is what i hear. I love the HD600 though.
The original Momentum was an evolution of the HD 400 line, but M2 has more of an HD 650 tone and timber. Switching from the M2 back to the M1, it’s amazing how bright the M1 sounds in comparison
For someone looking at a £200~ price range, would you say these are good for 2020 still? I'm just dipping into the high quality community since I got m50x's a while back, but they are quite disappointing. Not sure what all the decibel stuff is but for general everyday high quality, would you still suggest these? Sorry if I am vague. Love the review too, don't understand some of it but the parts I do are very informative and it's all enjoyable to watch haha!
K371
Heya, I brought this and ended up refunding them , after seeing your review I tested them with a lot of music and .. yeah to dark and the bass was just annoying , what would youi recommend for portable using (I can add a small amp in the mix), I would really like a pair close to the flat response as possible at around ~250 pounds (300+ dollars). Thanks !
why are you wearing headphones? Have you got a director on the other side?
+Larnuse monitoring the microphone. Standard procedure so I can hear what the pro XLR mic hears.
Nice review! I I just got a New pair of these headphones for 45 euros. But you were talking adjusting the EQ, can anybody tell me how to do this? I"m just an average smartphone(iphone) user streaming from spotify n youtube. Thanks
+chirag bhaskar I only do it on a PC using some open source software so I'm not sure about the iPhone
Thanks for the reply! After using these headphones for a couple of weeks, I totally agree with you on all the sound qualities you spoke about. And unlike you many other ppl here on yt kind of unnecessarily sugar coat these sound qualities :(. BTW I found several pre-set EQ on my iphone, can plz tell the difference b/w 'FLAT' eq and eq 'OFF'. Thanks again
+chirag bhaskar flat means no EQ by definition
You should review focal listen - one of the best if not the best portable Headphones :)
Woyld you prefer Momentums over Meze 99 Classics and why? Or why not? Thnx for the nice reviews!
It sounds like the Meze 99 Classics might still have a problem with the new (2017-ish) pads changing the tuning and leaving things with too much bass.
Really not a big fan of either one as a portable but the momentum has the better stock FR
Thanks for the reply @@metal571! Would you steer us torwards anything else (that's closed open-ear and near the Harman curve)? I found your reviews this afternoon, and started looking for some K553 MKIIs for the office. They're discontinued without a replacement. 😥
@@SeanPoulter K550 mk3 and K553 mk2 are the same so look for them on other sources like eBay I think they can still be found new. AKG came out with some new closed backs that are supposedly Harman tuned according to what Olive tells me on Twitter
Found some! Thank you for sharing your passion @@metal571! It sounds like you've helped a lot of us out! 🤘
Plug them into a Chord Mojo, They are stunning!
I agree these are great headphones
I picked up the M3's a couple of weeks ago, and have been very pleased with them. Not just great sound for this price point, but great call quality as well. That's surely not important to most of you here, but it's nice to have when you're out and about with them. They won't replace your "home use" headphones, but they're a darn good option for on the go listening.
AFAIK totally different sounding from these. Huge amount of bass judging by Rtings which is a very different tuning than this
@@metal571 You're 100% correct, I know for certain. My friend has had the M2's for about 4 years now, and I've listened to them several times. The bass presence is greatly increased on the M3's, and the soundstage is significantly wider as well. The treble feels a bit more "open" on the M3's, and the M3's feel just bit punchier in their delivery. When running both from the same source, the M3's are touch louder as well. We both prefer the sound of the M3's by a longshot, but I personally prefer the comfort of the M2's a bit more - the headband on the M3 digs into my scalp without modding. I'm very happy with the M3's though - they deliver well on what they're intended for, and I haven't had any issues with the on board tech that they have. Hope you're doing well.
Man I tried the M3s today at BB, but are they really worth 200 more? I can't try the M2s anywhere so I'd have to order them online to hear.
Also, I'm currently listening to stuff (including phone and TV w/o amp) on my HD 280 pro (64 ohm). When I compared them my 280s sounded hollow. I'd really appreciate your feedback!
Ps. I'd like to use these for gaming as well, so I think the M2's inline mic would work while the M3's onboard mic would not work. But if the sound is truly inferior, I'd be willing to sacrifice.
@@benjaminscello4623 From a sound quality perspective alone, I'm not sure they're worth $200 bucks more. Don't get me wrong, I do strongly prefer the M3's because of the elevated yet tasteful emphasis on the lower bass range. It's very well done, and gives most songs a good "out of the box" sound without much tweaking. I'm with you, I'm mostly just using standard sources these days - spotify, some burnt tracks,, and less into hi-fi or near lossless content. I love it, but have too many other priorities these days, and got ticked of at Tidal for screwing up my account, lol. The thing is though, is that the call quality and very good ANC make it a much better long term purchase IMO. Both features work extremely well, and once you have them, you love them. I don't touch the EQ with these cans, and that's a plus as well. The upper mid's could use a little extra something, but all in all I really do the enjoy them, especially BT cans. Wow, i'm really surprised there's a $200 difference these days, yikes!
@@RADERFPV thanks for the reply! I think I'm going to go ahead and order the M2s and see how they sound in comparison. I can easily return them if they don't fit the bill!
Hi which do you think has better sound quality Momentum2 or 598CS? Thanks! :)
Probably 598 Cs but it has a very annoying upper midrange spike. These are smoother there but there's no bass definition. If you're looking for a closed back in this price range I wouldn't buy either one
metal571 midrange is better on 598 closed, tone and timbre is better on M2
To add to my previous comment I'd get a K553 instead
metal571 had the k550 once upon a time, and it was nice, don’t know much about k553....
It's the same exact thing, just the US version. The last models they made of the original K550 they froze the sound of (it supposedly changed a bit in the early K550s) and then renamed it K553 for the US. The K553 MK2 and K550 MK3 are the same headphone and they now feature a removable cable as well.
I have the 1 and 2. Just today found out the 2 has the wire on the right earcup!?
So I've been listening to it in reverse for almost two years ...
Anyone else who noticed this? 🤔
Or is it just my version?
Mine has the cord on the right side too, I do find it rather odd. Also, mine are labeled 480 ohms(active) and 28 ohms (passive), not 18 ohms like he said.
Ah you have the wireless one. This is the wired Momentum M2. The current HD1 Momentum also has the 18 ohm spec. The wireless has the specs you are listing there
@@metal571 I see, thanks!
I bought them for 120 bucks, new of course. In this price range you can't get anything better, not portable and not in this manufacturing quality and particularly not as beautiful! They look very classy. Classifying the sound of headphones is always relative, depends on eachs taste. I find the sound pretty decent.
I think these haven't been sold for quite a long time now. There were a lot of versions of it, this one is passive only, non-BT, used to be called the Momentum M2 as well. Now there is the Momentum 3 which is totally different and wireless, haven't heard it
Good review - I recently bought the wireless version of these and already selling them to a friend - the big problem for me was the bass, it just lacks any dynamism. On so many recordings it sounds like the bass is just the same note all the way through the recording....really bad.
You all must have crappy phones. Having an eq really is the only way to fit any can to a personal taste. I'm running mine on a LG G8 with quad dac/ custom eq setting and a good ole creative e1 and I assure you my bass is not one tone. A good low gain amp really wakes these up . As mentioned before setup your sound with the eq and push them with an amp. They don't sound good when pushing with a Samsung S2 😆 lol
I got the headphones for 50 bucks on a clearance sale from a closing shop. Best portable headphones I've ever owned.
My first experience with the Senn's headphones were with the CX300 back in the days. since then I had HD650 HD800 599 ie80 px100ii and the list goes on and on The momentum are extremely high-end sounding headphones. From build contraction
to the sound signature.
Highs are crisp and they have great imaging to the overall sound spectrum.
Mids are well present. Bass & Sub Bass are not going to low but have like a "Body" to it. Well-controlled
and beautiful sounding.
There is plenty of soundstage that quit surprised me to a closed headphone...
Overall - up until year 2017 they are the best close over the ear headphones that I had.
even compared to my previous close headphones the good old HD25.
However, unfortunately as for the comfort they are not as comfortable as many over the ear
headphones that I had...
for me it's exactly opposite. The bass goes down to 23 hz, it resonates very nice. I actually put +1.5 dB at 12k +10 dB at 4k +6 dB at 8k +11 dB at 16k. They sound quite like momentum 3 now
bass goes pretty low I feel. for the over ear wired version atleast.
I testes both, the android and the ios Version ans they sound same
found these exact pair at a thrift store for 10 DOLLARS!!! I knew nothing about them but saw that they were Sennheiser so I didn't think anything could go wrong with them. I already have a pair of Philips SHP9500 so I wasn't too impressed by the sound but the build is in great condition of both headphones and case was basically almost known so I'm glad I got a great pick up that I can have as a backup for 10 bucks :D great video
It's incredible what can be found at thrift stores now. There are a lot of "vintage" headphones like the HD 580 that most people don't recognize lol
@@metal571 lol yeah, I like to pop in every once in a while, in hopes of snagging different types of audio&video equipment
Thanks for your reviews... I have these which I use with my Fiio X7II DAP... and they sound engaging. I was thinking of upgrading with HD700 though I'm not sure if the 150 ohm impedance is ideal. My DAP can cope with 2.5mm balanced ; just not my field. Anyway what's a good 3.5mm low impedence phone (I always liked Sennheiser) that can can step up to ? No worries, if you're too busy to answer... you probably get asked this all the time.
+Roland Herrera whatever you get, don't get the HD 700. It has a massive 6k peak larger than that of the HD 800. It's pretty annoying
Maybe the new Sennheiser 660S ? what do you think ?
+Roland Herrera haven't heard it yet but lots of positive reviews out there for it now. If you like the Sennheiser house sound you'll like that
Thanks for your input, by the way I really like your reviews on headphones... you describe their characteristics in ways that speak to me...
+Roland Herrera other reviewers just weren't describing sound in enough detail so I had to take it upon myself hah
Your reviews are excellent. For production value purposes, you might want to think about a better backdrop.
It's in the long term plans. Gotta repaint the walls and more immediately, improve the lighting first
There's probably some backdrop thing you can do that's cheaper and easier than repainting the walls. Anyway, I don't want to sound negative. Your reviews are great.
Yeah was just thinking about that earlier. Probably will go the backdrop route
These Blow Beats away I have them and they are well build with retro styling and excellent sound !!!
keep up the good work maybe you could put some together and tune them to your taste gareth
As a large fraction of these classic cans become history, given Metal's on leave, we will have no reference and guide to buy new cans. Let us keep searchsing for Metal571 Jr.
You've already found it, it's called the headphone show
This guy's voice makes me think of 'Home Movies' off of Adult Swim forever ago.
I just paid 40e to my buddy for a pair of V.1 Momentums - they were black, there's a reason for a deal! (Having the brown ones.)
stay cool and wait for hl3
Another good "chill" portable headphone which I'd pick is B&W P7.
Last time I heard one of those it was super punchy in the bass and a bit in the treble. This is a lot more boring
Love the rich warm sounds of the M2, but voices sound veiled, distorted, recessed, not as clear as the original Momentums
Late to tbe party but these headphones look beautiful. And sound is perfect for me.
They certainly are one of the nicest looking models I've run across, just wish there was more detail presented although of course the frequency response tuning itself is pretty unoffensive for most music.
This is an older, passive only model, *not* the Momentum 3 wireless which seems more popular now and sounds very different
How long playtime does this headset provide on full volume nonstop listening on music on My phone?
Metal review wish list:
Akg k545
Vmoda M100
Status Audio CB1
Fidelio X2
Eventually good IEMs
+fiendishshape if you have any of this to send me as a loaner so I can review it let me know. I have a source for the M100 but still have more stuff to get through first
metal571 I have the Akg 545 and will be getting my X2s back soon. Just let me know when you want to try them out
+fiendishshape alright I'll put you on the list
You're the only reviewer who described the way these sound exactly how I heard them when trying them out in the store. The lack of treble and the mids going too forward was really offputting for me. The sound stage really bothered me as well and the fact they're 18 ohm and yet they were fairly quiet on my phone bugged me.
yes based in the uk and its not raining
These are on Amazon for £130. So I'm kind of tempted.
are you based in the uk gareth
South NJ USA
metal571 great
The sound quality is 5/5 for a portable headphone with a portable amp like a fiio k1!!!
The idea of these headphones (as you admitted) was consumer focused from a phone source. But from there you seem to forget that. They are perfectly made for what they are. Because too much detail from a limited source would actually be a bad idea. These headphones will sound BETTER than a very expensive audiophile headphone from a phone source. Because the high end units will reveal TOO MUCH of the limited source.
this or the 598cs?
+sAmplify101 neither. K553
k545 same thing?
K553
+Pat King I don't think so, K551 is the same as a portable as the 553
Thanks!
Yes it's a headphone to look classy in the train while falling asleep
The Z-Reviews meme caught me off guard.
Very great review again. I have heard the Momentum on-ear of wich the treble is way less rolled off, but the mids are recessed. It is a bit V-shaped but sounds nice to me. The bass on the other hand is somewhat weak. The on ears are cheaper. I have never heard the over ear version, but I think the on ears seems to be better when I hear your opinion.
I've always wanted these for just walking back and forth to work and what not, I'd like to run them w/ a V20.
I would save up and get an H6 2nd gen
metal571 right now I can get these cheap on amazon, can you give me a link to the H6 ? Mind you I'm a 90's hip hop guy, early 2000's as well. Already feel a bit cheated on the M50x I really only think they're a sub $100 headphone. I only paid 125 out the door, I still like them but I've always wanted these. But please post a link
metal571 it's cool I got it
B&O PLAY by Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H6 Over-Ear Wired Headphone, 2nd Generation (Black) amazon.com
Just in case you want to double check your link
I think you forgot the mic test! ;)
+Maxime MICHEL it's at the end
Well, my bad, I skipped the end! Thank you for this detailed review! :)
not sure what to make of your opinions tbh.....sounds like you were reviewing another set of headphones...
This is the Momentum 2, not the 1, not the 3, not a wireless one. Very specific model
I think they are awesome headphones! Plus I paid only $25 at a Pawn Shop in atl.
+THE EVENT SNAPPERS okay that's a good deal lol
Possible they're fakes
Never seen Momentum fakes.
i highly doubt you're gunna get $200 anything for $25
@@ertai222 They are on Ebay and local stores for $50-60 all over. So $25 in a pawn shop is true.
shame I have built some headphone and have bee tuning them over the last month and for £75 they sound different to my ad1000x but very enjoyable gareth
+gareth knott yeah I love giving feedback on headphones but unfortunately the shipping cost and time would be pretty annoying
Review is ok but dude there is a reason for the presence of lavaliers and iems :)
One thing I do not undersand: They lack of bass and the treble is rolled off. Sennheiser could do better as that brand is famous for good sounding stuff. So I stick to my VE Monk plus that delivers more treble and a much better soundstage, and they only cost 5 Dollars. Good review anyway.
they don't lack bass
B&O H7 is just too nice all around to go for these. If it wasn't for the cheap plastic cups and the ugly color options these would be a contender.
oops...full scale orchestral music
Hello i am a case :3
I think the HD 202 sounds better in that regard.
They look great but sound similar to PM3's - horribly boring..
M40X is better purchase
This thing sounds like tin cans
the jbl Everest elite cost less and sound much better.
+jose santiago ortiz those are on my list. Measurements looked superb and I'm a big fan of the Harman response which is JBL's parent company
me too bruh what about the synchros 700?
Haven't tried those
I see the new a kg 275 in the website I wish you review then looks so cool.
+jose santiago ortiz woah thanks for letting me know about that, never heard of those before
