COMFORT: This is the over-ear version of the Momentum 2.0 Wireless. However, "over-ear" should be placed in massive sarcasm quotes because the stock earpads on these are a joke. They are leather, and they are soft and squishy, but they're hardly over-ear. Maybe it's just my freakishly huge ears, but these stock earpads may not cup your ears like a HD 600 would. BUT, all of this is okay because earpads are easily replaced. Just buy some Brainwavz HM5 replacement earpads, slap them on, and your listening experience will go from "Rumpelstiltskin pressing his hands on your ears and whispering the lyrics of that Usher song you thought you forgot past his fingers" to "Clouds around your ears that hug your face and tell you that you're very handsome and everyone thinks you're cool." Now, I mentioned earlier that I prefer these to my HD 600s, and that's because of a difference in purpose. Don't get me wrong, the HD 600s are excellent, easily the best sounding headphones I've heard. But the Momentum 2.0 Wireless is just easier to use. The Momentum 2.0 is wireless. The HD 600s are not. The Momentum 2.0 doesn't need an additional amp. The HD 600s do. The Momentum 2.0 can come with you to the bathroom. The HD 600s in theory could, but you really don't want to do that.
SOUND: The sound of these headphones is why you really want to get these headphones. Many headphones with active noise cancelling sacrifice sound quality for their ability to cancel ambient noise, but not these babies. If you ride public transit, consider this an excellent choice for mitigating annoying motor noise to let you focus on the sweet sound of your favorite album, Running With Scissors. Speaking of which, the clarity these headphones provide is nothing to scoff at. Due to the nature of being a closed set of headphones, you will hear details that you may not have even known existed in your favorite songs. This comes with a price, however. If you look at a frequency response graph of the Momentum 2.0 Wireless, you may see that around the 5kHz range, there is a strange valley. Strange, because while listening to music with detailed highs, it doesn't seem to matter that much, which I see as a big positive for the versatility of these things. The bass too, while not overpowering, feels very tasteful. It's clean bass that doesn't muddy like Dre's Beats do. Vocal clarity is just as good and clean.
NOISE-CANCELLING: It's okay. It's probably not as great as the Bose QuietComfort stuff at noise cancelling, but that's okay too. You're not getting these for the noise-cancelling. You're getting them for the unparalleled sound quality in a pair of bluetooth headphones. These will do what you need them to do, such as blocking out the noise of a plane's engine, or those computer fans you've got running at full power.
LOOKS: Damn sexy.
BUILD: You know what's really solid? A strip of pure metal. That's what the headband is made from, and it shows. When you put these on your head, you won't hear a thing come from any part of the construction. No rattling whatsoever. And if you're worried about that leather strip with no padding on the top, don't be. With proper adjustment of the cups on the sides, that strip basically won't even touch your head most of the time. Speaking of the cups, they slide up and down very smoothly, a bit different from other headphones that click to adjust in small intervals. Basically, if you're not actively trying to destroy these headphones (and why would you?), then these will last you a long, long time. In 50 years, your grandkids are gonna ask you why you're using those big dumb earcups instead of their cybernetic aural implants, and you'll say "Because it hasn't broken yet. Also, you're adopted." Obviously hyperbole, but they're just built so well.
Edit: I forgot to mention a few more things.
BATTERY LIFE: 22 hours of battery life is what they advertise on their page, but I've heard claims of upwards of 25 hours playtime on a full charge. I don't know if I can substantiate that claim, but I can say this: I've never had these headphones die on me in the middle of listening. I go for days at a time without charging, intermittent listening all throughout and often overnight if I fall asleep with them on (since the HM5 pads are so comfy). There is a downside to leaving it alone for a while though, and that's the lack of an auto-sleep function. If it's on, it'll stay on until it dies or you turn it off. Fortunately, if you triple-tap the play button on the side, you get an audio reading from a British lady of approximately how much time you have left until you need to charge. And speaking of controls...
INTERFACE: You get 2 buttons: a power button, and a play button. It takes a bit of time before you learn how to play, skip, pause, volume up/down, etc, but when once you get it, you're good. I'd rather have a set of headphones with as few buttons as possible than a set with like 4-5 different buttons scattered everywhere. Also, I don't know if this works with other headphones, but if you connect it to your smartphone and use Sennheiser's custom music app to listen to your music, you can enable a spatial emulator of sorts to increase the soundstage artificially. From what I can tell, it actually works and your music sounds like it's coming from outside your ears instead of being beamed into your brain. It does make your music quieter, so turn up that volume.
TL;DR : Get these if you care about sound quality. Get Bose QuietComfort if you care about not hearing the din of the air conditioning in your one-room apartment. Get Beats if you care about fitting in at high school.
The Plantronics Backbeat Pro was a nice set of headphones, but I started having issues with the music pausing, starting, pausing, starting and so on because of the "smart sensors" not working properly. I had read several other reviews with this problem and decided these weren't going to work for me. They were more bass forward which can be good, but sometimes they couldn't render the bass sounds well and it created a buzzing instead of booming. Sent them back.
The Denon AHGC20 Globe Cruiser looked nice out of the box, but the noise cancellation feature felt like it was putting pressure on my ears that was far too uncomfortable to continue with. These were also very bass heavy and drowned out the mids far too much. Since I listen to more than just bassy music this was a no-go. Sent them back.
The Definitive Technology Symphony 1 had good sound, but they are very, very bulky. They make the Plantronics look small. I needed something that was going to travel relatively well and the case for these is huge. If you want travel headphones don't get these. They did well with most genres of music although the mids were a tad held back in favor of the low end bass. These were the heaviest pair at least from what I could tell. Sent them back.
Now comes the V-Moda Crossfade with additional XL Pads. Very comfortable. Very good sound even though they are more bass forward. The larger (optional) pads really made this a joy to have on. The main difference between these and the other sets is that these aren't active noise cancelling. They do a good job of isolating although you can surely hear things around you. I sent them back after a week. They are very well made and I would have definitely gone with these if not for the winner in my unscientific testing and the purpose of this review: the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 headphones.
The Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 wireless headphones were clearly the most expensive and turned out to be clearly the best for me. Active noise cancelling works very well. It doesn't block out everything, but all of the background noises on airplanes and trains were tucked away very nicely. To me these were very comfortable. I know some people complain about the earcups being too small, but I have a very large head with larger than average ears and these feel great. No fatigue after hours of listening. The way the cups swivel a bit really helps seal them around my ears. The sound is amazing. Not too bass heavy although the bass is definitely there in spades. The music comes through crisp and clear, but not harsh. I could hear instruments in various jazz music that other headphones were drowning out. It was like hearing music I have listened to many times before as if it was now new. These handled every genre of music I threw at them with ease and they provide a wonderful listening experience. These are also very well made and collapse down into a much more reasonable case for traveling too and they are light. Top notch in my book.
I highly recommend these headphones to anyone who likes to be a part of their music experience and not just be pounded over the head with way too much bass and drowned out vocals. But if that's what you like then these may not fit the bill for you. As always your results may vary.
Top reviews from other countries
After a couple of days of using them, I never looked back. I had so many “Oh, wow!” moments listening to acoustic Jazz/classical music with these M2 wireless. Spacious and lively sound with sweet bass that does not ruin other parts! I know sound is subjective but I didn’t like QC15’s no fun sound at all. With M2, I listen to music a lot longer and I even miss them when I am not using them. It even helps me appreciate certain types of music I didn’t like before. To me, these produce 'laid back' sound (more of immersive sound rather than in-your-face sound).
If you have an annoying coworker sitting right beside you who shouts often and uses mechanical keyboard like a maniac, maybe you should look for newer Sony or Bose. (But not sure if that’ll help the situation though). But M2 muffles usual office noises like chatter, fan, people walking around, etc quite well for me and luckily I don’t have any maniac coworker.
It looks and feels really nice with soft leather earcups and headband. I wish the ear cups were a little deeper and wider and the headband had a little more cushion. Anyway with some adjustment, I can use them for hours. Also, I didn’t have any connection issues but I mainly use indoors except when I walk between the office and parking lot.
Well, there are enough reviews by others so I will stop now. Rather, I'll share some tips I’ve found so far.
Tips:
If you connect to a macbook and sound quality is bad, check if you have ‘Sound’ property open. Either close it or change the ‘Input’ to some other mic. If mic is set to M2 and ‘Sound’ property is open, M2 thinks it’s on call. In general I had several issues like volume sync etc using M2 against macbook while didn’t have a problem using them with S7 phone.
If you want an ivory color but amazon offers them at a higher price, check the sennheiser’s Canada website. They offer them at the same price as the black ones. (At least the last time I checked.)
If you hear squeaks from the earpads, try them without your eyeglasses.
If you are trying to use the cable, make sure you plug in properly. I’ve seen so many people with this issue with any other headphones. Don’t complain about only one side work or poor sound etc. It was you. And don’t forget that there is no ANC when the cable is connected unless you turn it on.
If you’re trying to use these without music on and expect total silence, you bought an over engineered very expensive earplug. Try a 2 dollar earplug from your drug store. (Even my friend’s QC35 couldn't do that.)
If you connect to 2 devices, it appears that it actively tries to connect to whatever you touch last. I don’t like this feature. I disconnect my phone when I listen from my macbook and also use my phone.
You can force your macbook to use aptX using BlueTooth explorer from XCode additional tools. (Google it.). But personally I didn’t notice any sound quality enhancement. Maybe aptX is only for latency and you need aptX HD for noticeable enhancement. (or I just proved that I am not an audiophile)
If you’re wondering about the semi hard case with soft cloth material these came with, which looks a little different in material and on ‘stitching’ area compared to the online pictures, don’t worry. Sennheiser confirmed that they changed the case material sometime ago. So they have at least 2 cases with different materials. (The original looks better with more clear Sennheiser logo)
le considero tra le migliori che abbia mai avuto.
inutile tediare con dettagli che potete trovare nelle centinaia di recensioni online.
- Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 2
- Sony WH-1000XM3
- Audio Technica ATH-ANC900BT
- Beyerdynamic Lagoon ANC
- Teufel Real Blue NC
Der Sennheiser klingt für mich am besten. Wobei Lagoon ANC und der Teufel nicht weit weg waren und das dann vielleicht Geschmackssache ist.
Kann die negativen Rezenssionen zum Klang nicht verstehen. Ich nutze Burmester im Auto und ein grenzabsurdes System im Wohnzimmer - mit dem Sennheiser kann ich Musik ähnlich genießen. Zu dem Preis ist das top.
Ich finde ihn auch trotz der schmalen Polster sehr bequem.
Nachteile:
- Schaltet sich nicht von alleine ab
- Einstellmöglichkeiten fehlen (z.B fürs ANC und Auto Ausschaltung). Equalizer braucht es nicht, das macht via app für solche Kopfhörer kaum Sinn.
- Ich mage die Bügel nicht. Sieht edel aus, fände ergonomsich schlicht aber besser.
Mein Fazit war:
Zum primär Musik hören ist der Sennheiser der Gewinner.
Ansonsten ist der Sony super. Der klingt zwar deutlich schlechter (weniger detail, sehr warm/weich, für mich zu breiig und klingt einfach nach 1-2 Preisklassen darunter (mag mancher aber vielleicht auch - muss man immer selbst testen). Aber der ist extrem bequem und sein ANC ist das beste das ich je gehört habe. Für ruhe im Büro oder beim fliegen, als Headset am PC, etc. und ab und zu Musik hören wäre der mein Gewinner.
