Reviews around job (4.55 of 5)

  • The headphones do a good job of blocking a lot of background noise irrespective of the noise cancellation feature.
  • I am spoiled by a stereo system with Emotiva electronics, and the very expensive B&W nautilus 800 series speakers, but I am satisfied listening to my TV and MP3 and FLAC files off my laptop with these headphones.
  • Some fault the B&O for having finnicky touch controls; these have no touch controls and only 2 buttons: on/off, vol up/down
  • I work in a noisy office, and it does a good job at blocking road noise
  • Both do a very good job with noise cancellation overall

Reviews around look (4.30 of 5)

  • It's made of nice looking leather and metal for a cool retro look.
  • Having an amplifier in advance also helps because l did get more out of this headphone(l don't recommand buying a amp just for this headphone because it's not worth it).
  • The sound quality is great, definitely on the warmer side, with a more pronounced bass tone, the build quality is phenomenal with solid feeling hinges and metal throughout, I loved the look of them too
  • Last but not least, these are a really nice looking set of headphones, they look like a $500.00 pair, which is what i paid for the pink floyd edition

Reviews around leather (4.27 of 5)

  • n’t had any issues chagring other than trying to decipher the LED indicator color meanings, but after quick consult of the Sennheiser website and instruction
  • The earpads are deep, with memory foam and a soft leather wrapping.
  • The hard leather headband creates a pressure point at the top of my head no matter how I adjust it
  • With these on, both the dimension of the ear cups and the superbly-designed memory foam and supple leather make your ears feel like they've sunk into a soft leather couch

Reviews around noise cancellation (4.18 of 5)

  • The noise cancellation is good, but they do not match Bose's noise cancellation.
  • The active noise cancellation is unobtrusive (no hiss) but effective
  • The noise cancellation is very good but not as good as Bose QC35
  • I wanted good looks, easy portability, good build quality, great sound, and noise cancellation that works.
  • The noise cancellation is good, can still hear a little, the sound is super.

Reviews around battery life (4.05 of 5)

  • great battery life, music is super crisp doesn't distort even at high volume (and it can't get uncomfortablly loud) fantastic vocal reproduction (doesn't get lost or muddy in the music
  • These headphones strike the perfect balance between sound, noise cancellation, battery life, and style
  • so if you already have good headphones you may not be as blown away by these as I
  • While the quality of the audio does seem more rich with AptX, the battery life suffers.

Reviews around pair (4.00 of 5)

  • Unfortunately, the pair I received in the mail is defective
  • The first pair I received had some sort of noise-cancelling defect - sharp, loud sounds (i.e. while riding public transit) produced a popping/knocking noise in the right earcup
  • so if you already have good headphones you may not be as blown away by these as I
  • there is no perfect pair of wireless headphones at this time

Reviews around bass (3.86 of 5)

  • Clear sound all across the spectrum and solid bass that doesn't wash out other sounds.
  • The sound quality is one of the best among all Bluetooth headphones: sound stage is good, clarity is good, the bass is not too overwhelming
  • Bass is muddy, the sound quality is so poor that i can't imagine listening to them
  • * Same sound as the wired version, except, with better bass, not overwhelming, but there when music demands it
  • They have great bass that doesn't over power the mids in any way.

Reviews around comfort (3.85 of 5)

  • We did a sound test against the Bose Quiet Comfort 35, and my
  • Now, about Bose Quiet Comfort 35, the sound quality is nowhere close

Reviews around music (3.76 of 5)

  • These do a decent job of isolating your music from outside
  • Music sounds very clear and enjoyable.+StyleThe Momentums have such a unique look and I really like it
  • The music was clear and did not distort at extreme volume levels, but I found the sound to be sort of lifeless.
  • Music sounded louder at similar volumes that I tested with the Bose headsets.
  • As time went on it kept losing signal and the music was choppy

Reviews around compare (3.45 of 5)

  • Voice and instrument sounds a little blurry compare to my im03
  • The noise cancellation is okay, but nowhere near the levels of the Bose QC35 or Sony WH1000.Overall there's much better options for this price that sound almost as good, or even better.
  • The sound quality is good compared to other wireless headphones(not as good as wired headphone though), the active noise cancellation works, but it can only connect to cellphones
  • These headphones are bloody fantastic compared to all these devices!Compared to my roommate's Bose QC15s, these don't have quite the same noise-cancelling abilities, but they were perfectly adequate for keeping me happy on the various airplanes, even while seated near engines
  • I wanted to switch to cable;- the top headband is uncomfortably hard compared to the PXC450;- while over the ear, it is just over the ear and my ears got claustrophobic with this headphone;- georgeously design, but feels more fragile compared to the PXC450.I am sticking with my old PXC450 for the time being.

Reviews around bluetooth (3.05 of 5)

  • These headphones sound great wired and, since rev02, have good bluetooth connectivity
  • If you appreciate quality, & are looking for the best Bluetooth headphones on the market, look no further, you've found them.
  • My other Sennheiser bluetooth headphones had the same issue, which is a much less significant issue with the noise cancellation that these headphones have.
  • In my opinion, these are the best bluetooth headphones available
  • This is the best sounding Bluetooth headphones I have ever used

Reviews around signal (2.79 of 5)

  • I have also noticed that the noise cancelling does not seem to be as effective as with the 550s, but I do not notice as much wind buffeting.
  • It pairs fast and holds a consistent signal from at least 20 feet
  • I have begun to get suspicious of whether or not the wind made it harder for a weaker signal to operate.
  • WOWall i can say is well doneSennheiser made a product that is designed superb for the city commuter, a pair of headphones that 1. last over 20 hours and 2. have a descent sound quality for Bluetooth.my only niche is that the signal gets lost many times because millions of people in the city are using the same Bluetooth connectionSennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless with Active Noise Cancellation- Black

Reviews around background noise (2.35 of 5)

  • In terms of high-quality plastics mixed with metal bones, they are more a peer to the less expensive Bose and Sony; the B&O clearly wins in build and material quality

  • These headphones do a very nice job of quieting the background noise of these appliances.
  • There is just less background noise, and that which comes through is mostly in the vocal
  • The noise cancellation is not as great as I would have hoped, but much better than my last pair of headphones which were "on ear" and did not really block anything.

Reviews around customer service (1.95 of 5)

  • Overall excellent product as advertised, I had an issue with the ear cups on the sliders coming too loose, Customer service from Sennheiser Usa, was very kind and sent me a replacement parts and instructions right away , I am very happy so far
  • Besides the dismal battery life, the build quality is poor, customer service is historically terrible, and the "lighter version 2's" still are not terribly comfortable for prolonged wearing.
  • I generally love Sennheiser products b/c of their quality and reputation, but the awful wireless performance of this headset especially at this price is unacceptable
  • n’t had any issues chagring other than trying to decipher the LED indicator color meanings, but after quick consult of the Sennheiser website and instruction
  • Luckily this was still under Amazon warranty as Sennheiser customer service was confusing to navigate and ineffective for me.

Reviews around bite (1.95 of 5)

  • It is possible that the B&W's are better for a bit more money, but am unable to compare.
  • I still found the ear cups a bit small and the uncomfortable
  • I had tried a more "fashion" sort of brand that was a bit more expensive and they were terrible sounding.
  • I feel like it lacks a little bit of that texture you get
  • It's also a bit easier and more consistent using Bose's interface to skip forward and go back to previously played songs

Reviews around bluetooth issue (1.87 of 5)

  • Bluetooth worked great right out the box, no pairing issues (seemed like they fixed the bluetooth issue).The sound quality was underwhelming to say the least
  • In terms of high-quality plastics mixed with metal bones, they are more a peer to the less expensive Bose and Sony; the B&O clearly wins in build and material quality
  • The competition includes the Bose QC35s, the Sony WH-1000XM2, the brand new B&W PX (which is basically the excellent wireless B&W P7 plus noise cancelation).The Senn HD1’s have some things in common with these competitors.
  • In addition, the bluetooth issues have been completely resolved with the HD-1

Reviews around cord (1.73 of 5)

  • In terms of high-quality plastics mixed with metal bones, they are more a peer to the less expensive Bose and Sony; the B&O clearly wins in build and material quality
  • When the cord on my beloved HD-25's started to destroy, after thumbing and tearing for past 5 years, I thought it would be a good time to get a new cord and get an upgrade for everyday listening on the go.
  • Phone itself is on my desk but i am free to move without a damn cord constraining me.
  • but I had more of sense of them "being up top."Included travel case and accessories are of good quality and the included cord with 3.5mm connections has a nice twist-and-lock feature when securing to one of the cups

Reviews around shell (1.00 of 5)

  • Very glad to see the inclusion of a hard shell case and a satin drawstring pouch
  • It isn’t as small as the Bose’s hard-shell travel case, but it’s lighter
  • The carrying poach will not provide enough protection for the headphone, you should replace it with a hard-shell one
  • Having an amplifier in advance also helps because l did get more out of this headphone(l don't recommand buying a amp just for this headphone because it's not worth it).
