I’ve watched many other review videos and I find yours the most clear, straight to the point, organized, objective and comfortable to listen to. No annoying jokes and constant sarcasm. You’ve earned a subscriber for your channel. Thanks for the useful video and Keep up the good work.
i really like your voice
a really clear voice, nice to listen to.
you should become a singer
+TheDesius And you should try watching youtube vids with your pants on ;)
+TheDesius She reminds me of Hit Girl. Is she Hit Girl? She's Hit Girl.
+Arthur Watts hahah.
I must say that you have a very nice to hear voice, very nice to listen and clear.
Everyone is saying how cute you are (which you are ofcourse) but I wanted you to know that it's not just that... you've done an incredible job with this. engaging and very informative. I love it! x
Wonderful review! All the information I needed and very well presented. Was deciding between these and the over-ear and your review helped me decide on the over-ear. Thank you!
Thanks
Liked this rev! Complete and depth! I've been looking for a comparison between the 1.0 and the 2.0! Thanks for being so exhausting!
Lol! 'Exhaustive' . If she were exhausting, you'd be tired of listening to her. I'm not correcting you to be an ass, just to amuse someone that finds this later.
you should be a narrator on audible lol
Awesome review, voice, pacing, and video are well put together! More!
Been using these for like 5 years and still great, it’s worth replacing the ear pads and wires after a while as well
came here for the info, subscribed because of her :) good job!
This is a very analytical review...Thanks!
great review! how does this compared to pryma headphones?
You catch my eye the whole time that i couldn't focus on the headphones
so i decided to get one anyway
Your voice is soothing.
How does the sound of these compare to the wireless version?
Hi how do they compare to the Sennheiser HD419 Sleek Closed-Back Stereo Over-Ear Headphones with Dynamic Bass. Thanks
What is the material called? Alcantara?
Have you had the chance to compare these on-ear model to the over-ear model in terms of sound quality? I really like the way these on-ear ones look aesthetically but I really don't want to sacrifice from the way my music would sound if I went for the over-ear model.
Will more colors be available in the near future? I am looking into getting one of these but none of these colors appeal to me. Are any of the other colors from the originals available on these headphones?
So i checked the Sennheiser website, wired version has no A-NC feature? Am I correct?
Do you know if the M2 Around Ear work on a PS4?
thank you for this review
you cured my dilemma
No Problem
These or the over the ear and slighty more expensive model?
P.S Does anyone else find her voice relaxing? hehe.
I'd definitely get the "full-sized" Momentum 2.0s if I had the money, however due to time constraints as well as cost, among other things, I find this particular on-ear version to be more within reach, would this be good enough reason to compromise on the around the ear Momentums? As in is it really that inferior?
lifelessperson1993 Not by our standards, no. Compared to the other headphones we carry, the on-ear and over-ear Momentum headphones sound more alike than they do different.
do they sound like the over ears?
Does Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 on-ear comes with a wireless version?>.
hey loved your review, it was really helpful. I had a question which is what is the difference between the Momentum 2.0 OEI and the AEG version and what do they stand for? thanks
+Ehsan Nemati Hi Ehsan, the OEI comes with an Apple-compatible remote and microphone, while the AEG is Samsung (Android) compatible!
oh I see... so there is no difference at all in the headphones specs or sound quality whatsoever?
Precisely
+Audio46 Headphones - Headphone Superstore Samsung only?
OE is on ear and AE is around ear, for anyone else that finds this question.
Audio technica m50x limited edition, and momentum, which one do you recommend based on the sound quality? Thx
menglin xu Momentum Over Ear, On Ear, or In-Ear? Wireless, M2, or Original Recipe? What music are you listening to? We recommend buying them all. But then again, we're obsessed with headphones. If it were these Momentum 2.0s we would probably take them over the M50x. But only if we had the money. If you're on a budget, or you like a tad bit of bass, go M50x.
Just ordered this, got them half off on Amazon. Great review btw.
Thanks, we are glad you liked it. Just be careful with ordering things off of Amazon and other online shopping places. Sometimes a good deal is hard to pass up, but sometimes there is a reason why a deal is good. When ordering anything offline you should research the distributor and make sure that they are an authorized dealer, from your country preferably. A lot of the products on amazon are counterfeit, or not from authorized dealers. If the company that you purchased the products from through amazon isn't authorized to sell Sennheiser products, you may not be covered under warranty even if the headphones are authentic. You will most likely be ok, but for future purchases research the dealer first. We hear so many horror stories where people get cheated.
Yep, the review was very thorough and helped me decide. It was a toss-up between this or the urbanite and in the end the momentum's looks tipped the balance. I will be honest I was not aware of these issues on Amazon so I am a bit concerned now. I think this buyer is ok though. goo.gl/tqzzgC
It says By: Sennheiser, so I am assuming that is ok. Either way I will know by tomorrow when they arrive haha. :)
if Sennheiser is the amazon distributor then you are fine. Sennheiser and Amazon are the only two distributors (other than us) that you can automatically trust without looking to seeing if they are a distributor.
xtrariter got it for 120$ from a huge sale
Hi, between the Sennheiser Momentum 2 over ear and the Denon AH-D1100, which you recommend me?
We don't carry Denon AH-D1100, or any of their products for that matter. We could not make a recommendation either way, being that we personally don't have access to one of the two. But, when I searched the specs on google the Denon had a better frequency range than Sennheisers. However, they both have good ranges. The frequency response has a lot to do with the sound of the headphones, but it is just a range of the frequencies the headphones are able to reproduce. Frequency range says nothing about the way in which they do it.
Sennheiser is a more trusted, reliable brand then Denon, but between the models Denon will be able to reproduce more. without having tried them I cant give you a better response than that.
You may want to look into their return / warranty policy to help make your decision.
@@audio46 people can't hear frequenties under 20 so no use if the lowest frequentie is 15 or 20. The same goes for the high frequenties
Hey I'm looking for a replace of my beats mixr. I loved the powerfull bass, but won't buy them again. Do the momentum have a compareable bass?
+19ChiX98 Definitely, but if you're looking for more bass--you might check out the Sennheiser Urbanite line.
+Audio46 Headphones - Headphone Superstore ok thx. but did you mean that based on the over ear ones now? i think i'll test them 😁 did u tried the new 2.0?
+19ChiX98 sry, i waw a bit confused, forget the last sentence :D
Yes, comparing over-ear to over-ear and so on
Not as comparable in bass but i use an equaliser app to crank up the bass when required. They do have much more dynamic range then beats though. Been using mine for 3 years and totally recommend
Interestingly, I did a shootout between these and the Bowers & Wilkins P3 headphones. Wow, such a difference in sound design. The P3 is all about the midrange. It's rich, sumptuous, detailed. There is no V shape to the frequency response. The high end is a bit rolled off, while a slight midbass hump warms up the sound, so the overall feel of the sound is warmer than the Senns.
The Momentums, with their much larger driver (40mm v. 30mm) sound more open and spacious. That's really the main advantage to them. But that V shaped frequency response, with the recessed midrange, never gives you a sense of intimacy. It also tends to rob instruments a bit of their body and resonance. The bass response, while not overly pronounced, is a bit on the bloated side. Sometimes note specificity is not there and there can be too much note overhang, which gave me a bit of a headache at times. The Momentums seem more extended in the highs and provide a bit more
detail there, but the quality of the treble can get a bit hard whereas
the P3s stay smooth.
Ironically, even though the P3 cans have a slight midbass hump, the bass is much tighter and more tuneful than the Momentum 2.0 On Ear. I perceived no note overhang and could always make out the specific note of any bass notes within the frequency range. I did find that I had to break these in quite a while before that midbass hump subsided so that it didn't infringe on the midrange.
It's the midrange where the P3 wins. It's pretty detailed and capable of pretty good dynamics, both micro- and macro-. Particularly when I played some full orchestral recordings, the sound was rich and lovely, the strings sounding quite natural. Sure, the Momentums exhibited more air and perceived high end detail, but the high end could get a bit strident sounding when pushed (such as brass, strings, or even the top overtone of a female voice). The Momentums highlighted the metallic aspect of a acoustic guitar rather than the resonance of the body.
I could live with the Momentums in terms of the sonics. They're a fairly compact, nice to look at mobile headphone. But they wouldn't be my be-all, end-all headphone. They're not accurate enough.
The P3 wouldn't be my be-all, end-all headphone either. But if you're going for a headphone on the go, they're 20% lighter than the Momentum 2.0 On Ear headphones, and they fold up more compactly. You might not be able to put the Momentums into a jacket pocket, but I am easily able to do that with the P3s.
I do find that I needed to find the sweet spot for positioning the P3 on my ears to get the most balanced sound. The opening in the memory foam where the ear has direct flow with the driver is fairly small. If I don't position them right, the top end can sound too rolled off and the balance goes off. This isn't an issue with the Momentums.
The more I use the P3s, the more I appreciate them. You have to want a warmer sounding headphone to enjoy these, though. If a large, open soundstage is premium for you, the Momentums will be better than the P3s. Neither are going to win in the slam department, by the way. If you're looking for bass kings, you're probably going to be looking at Beats or the like.
Tbe P3s are really aiming for musical qualities -- being able to follow musical lines, natural sounding texture, dynamic nuance. Of the smaller, truly portable sounding headphones I have listened to, the P3s are hard to beat if you're more into high fidelity over rock and roll. It reminds me of a friend who used to write for a high fidelity audio magazine. As a writer, he needed accuracy in all of his audio equipment in order to critique high end audio equipment. Once he retired as a writer, he pulled out his JBLs so he could rock the house. Knowingly not accurate, but the JBLs were more fun to listen to when rocking out.
+Jeff Bellin Hello there. You seem to know what you're talking about. I'm looking to buy new headphones but don't know which to get. I've done a lot of research recently but I am not an audio expert. All of the reviews I've been watching recently have kind of confused me as reviewers use many terms I don't quite know (I can kind of figure it out but I'm not 100% sure).
What would you say it means when a headphone is "warmer"? Does that mean it would be more resonant and bring out the body of the instrument or sound more than the treble or something? Also what is "roll off"?
Anyway, I really appreciated your comment as it brought to mind other headphones I might purchase. I'm looking for a preferably compact on-ear headphone and was pretty set on the Beyerdynamic T51i, but now that I've watched this review I am thinking about the momentums 2 on-ear or the P3. I don't know what to do! Would it be worth it to get the over-ear vs. the on-ear when it comes to momentums? They all seem equally good at different things...? Any advice you could offer me? Thanks for your knowledge!
+Ezhno Blue I know how tough it can be to buy headphones with all the hype out there. A sound designer can tweak the sound balance and feel depending on his own preferences, or depending upon his intended audience.
I don't want to confuse you with technical detail, but a designer has to make compromises. You'll hear fewer of than the more money you spend.
Still, within the size and money limitations, the designer has to decide whether he is making a headphone for those who are listening to beat heavy just such as hiphop or rock, or more lyrical and harmonic accuracy required of classical music, jazz, or folk.
For the latter group, the midrange frequencies are the most important. They require detail and nuance in that region of frequency response. Rock, pop, and hiphop may sound more exciting if the bottom end is big and the top end is bright.
By making the top and bottom ends pronounced, you end up with a sucked out midrange. Acoustic instruments and voices tend to sound hollow as a result. BOSE and Beats are intentionally voiced like that.
As headphones sit right on your ear, a pronounced midrange can sound a bit too close and claustrophobic. A very, very slight suckout can alleviate the possibility that the music will sound too close to being on top of you in your head.
Whether a headphone is open-backed, close-backed, on your ear, over your ear, or in your ear also changes the color of the sound.
Even with so called accurate headphones, a designer can make them sound a bit warmer by slightly boosting the lower midrange, and even roll off the top end a bit. That will make the music sound richer, give instruments and vocalists more body, more sumptuousness.
Conversely, boosted bass and treble will rob instruments of some body.
Finally, the better the design, the better the resolution, like going from a standard definition to a high definition television.
So understandably, it's confusing. The best thing to do is find someplace you can listen to them, an audio store.
In any event, tell me the type of music you mostly listen to, your budget, and whether you listen at home or need a pair for mobile use. With that info, I can try making recommendations.
+Jeff Bellin Thanks so much! That's really helpful of you!
I listen to all genres of music so it's really hard to really pick out a single category to base my purchase on. I listen to electronic, rock, experimental, old music, new music, 80s, classical, almost everything. So I wouldn't go off of my musical taste only. I just want a generally hi definition headphone with clarity, and honesty that portrays the music how it's meant to sound. My price range is about $200-$300 and I generally lean towards on-ear for comfort and size. For now I'm looking for closed-back though eventually I might save up enough to get another pair of open-back just to try them out and use at home. I listen to music while I paint, and my sessions are usually a few hours long and clarity is very important for me. As I mentioned, I was set on the Beyerdynamic T51i, so I'm wondering if there is anything better in terms of portable on-ears. Maybe the Momentum 2's? I don't want the midrange to sound sucked out or hollow as you explained, but I also want a balanced sound. I'm not necessarily a "bass head" so to speak, but a little bass doesn't hurt (not in place of other frequencies, though. I prefer accuracy.) I was told that the Momentums sound "warmer" than the Beyerdynamics t51i (they are in a similar price range). Would you agree with that? Have you happened to try them? After reading your description of warmer/richer headphones with the lower midrange slightly boosted and rolling off the top end a bit, I guess I do tend to lean towards warmer sounding headphones.
Anyway, thanks so much for being my personal sound consultant! lol
+Jeff Bellin Oh and what is your opinion of Grado's Prestige series? I was thinking of getting some for at home use. They seem to be pretty polarizing and controversial with audiophiles...
+Ezhno Blue You want ON-ear rather than OVER-ear (which will rest around your ear, generally most comfortable as the pressure is spread out over a larger area)?
So I'd listen to the B&W P5 series 2 (designed for use with Apple products) or the Beyerdynamics T 51i. B&W offers refurbished units (well worth it) for $240. Both are musical for all genres, but are on the warmer side. The B&W requires a lot of breaking in. Most dealers give you at least 30 days to listen with a full refund. B&W gives you 60 days directly from them.
Can you put over ear leather pads on the On ear version? would they fit?
Isabel Peña No. Not worth the hassle trying.
the introduction is good, and mainly...she's good.
Have you ever heard you look like Chloë Grace Moretz?
great headphone... good sound.... nice design. But its sad they dont design with bluetooth too. :(
I dont think they have design yet
I just wanna say that you are cute :3
is that headphone good for hip hop and house?
+eddogardo Hi eddogardo, definitely. The momentum has a flatter sound that is still fun enough for dancey stuff and music with some bass--if you want to pump up the bass a bit you might check out Sennheiser's Urbanite XL.
+Audio46 Headphones - Headphone Superstore ok thanks
would you like to share with us your hall of fame for each category of headphones?
awesome
У вас дуже приємний голос :)
Excuse me, my comment has nothing to do with the headphone, but does the reviewer come from Thailand?
+Pathai Sangkachart I think her blog said she's mixed Chinese/Filipino and maybe Hawaiian. Or maybe she just grew up in Hawaii.
+Jarek Harmening Ok, Thanks man !
Watching this cuz of her and i dont care about the headphones. shes cute
Your such a nice lady. And these headphones are fantastic in sound and comfort.
Got a pair for 69 AUD (50 USD) for this price they are hard to beat
She's really cute.
i literally died at 4:13 ..
4.10 M1 :D
This girl is sooo cute!
Was gonna say, she`s really cute, then I see the comment section is full of the same comment xD
No wonder really :)
Stretching that leather out at 2:07 probably isn't a good idea.
nice review。just bought the old one。u r so cute
+Anderson Zhen Thanks, how are you liking the first version?
it sounds pretty good, and has a awesome looking. The one thing I can complain is it kind of small for big head size people, but overall it is a decent headphone. The green one is on sell on Amazon only for 79.99. I am planing to buy the Momentum 2.0. much more comfortable than the old version one.
Finally I'm first for once
Seriously, a girl that know audio? Marry me as soon as possible
I need to know who she is. I'm utterly infatuated.
when you come to a headphone review, and they call them headphone. and not headphones, you know your in the right place
People make mistakes (you're*).
Kenny Bucketz :P haha
smh all these perverts in the comments...
for real man xD
lmao forgot I even wrote this comment so people still be simping this shit crazy
