Reviews around job (4.55 of 5)

  • Both do a very good job with noise cancellation overall
  • I often work out of coffee shops where there can be a lot of noise - these headphones really do a nice job of filtering out the most annoying of the sounds around me while also providing a nice listening experience to the broad selection of music that I listen to
  • 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.
  • Noise cancellation does good job but QC25 has better noise cancellation

Reviews around look (4.30 of 5)

  • Comfortable, nice looking and again great and very ballanced sound
  • It's made of nice looking leather and metal for a cool retro look.
  • 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
  • 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).
  • Some fault the B&O for having finnicky touch controls; these have no touch controls and only 2 buttons: on/off, vol up/down

Reviews around leather (4.27 of 5)

  • They look nice, to be sure; the coarse grain leather headband is nice-looking (as is the stitched leather on the B&O)
  • 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
  • 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 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

Reviews around noise cancellation (4.18 of 5)

  • The noise cancellation is very good but not as good as Bose QC35
  • The active noise cancellation blocks out distractions; screaming children, bother me not.
  • so I viewed active noise cancellation as a bonus, not as a priority.
  • so if you already have good headphones you may not be as blown away by these as I
  • 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
  • While the quality of the audio does seem more rich with AptX, the battery life suffers.
  • so if you already have good headphones you may not be as blown away by these as I
  • The battery life is unparalleled and the sound quality/noise cancellation is great.
  • Great sound, great battery life, super comfortable and feel very premium

Reviews around pair (4.00 of 5)

  • but that's the very least of my interests in a nice pair of headphones
  • so if you already have good headphones you may not be as blown away by these as I
  • These are a really great pair of headphones for travelers
  • 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
  • And I have to say, they are the most comfortable pair of headphones, apart from the amazing sound

Reviews around bass (3.86 of 5)

  • Bass is muddy, the sound quality is so poor that i can't imagine listening to them
  • That might not sound like a good thing to someone who just wants accentuated bass and treble so the music comes screaming out at them.
  • They have great bass that doesn't over power the mids in any way.
  • Clear sound all across the spectrum and solid bass that doesn't wash out other sounds.
  • The sound is crisp and clear, bass is there but not overwhelming, you hear everything in the song, and they are comfortable

Reviews around comfort (3.85 of 5)

  • Bose Quiet Comfort 35 is supremely comfortable followed closely by Sennheiser HD1
  • Sennheiser HD1 and Bose Quiet Comfort 35 cancel out lower frequencies in an airplane very effectively
  • We did a sound test against the Bose Quiet Comfort 35, and my
  • The only issue I've had so far is comfort; these aren't very comfy with my glasses, and I find myself having to take both them and the M2s off every 5 minutes or so
  • Some fault the B&O for having finnicky touch controls; these have no touch controls and only 2 buttons: on/off, vol up/down

Reviews around music (3.76 of 5)

  • I am enjoying my music more because of these headphones
  • i didn't hear any of the grinding or background noise or music, and this is a very noisy environment.
  • The music was clear and did not distort at extreme volume levels, but I found the sound to be sort of lifeless.
  • Sound stage is large, and crystal clear music is aided by the active noise cancelling
  • Music sounds very clear and enjoyable.+StyleThe Momentums have such a unique look and I really like it

Reviews around compare (3.45 of 5)

  • 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
  • However, they don't sound nearly as good as the Sennheisers and also will leave your scalp in a world of pain after 30 minutes.
  • So if you're buying them because they sound better than the Bose, don't bother as they are larger and won't play high quality files
  • Voice and instrument sounds a little blurry compare to my im03
  • 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

  • I'd be much easier on them, but seeing as they are some of the most expensive bluetooth headphones in the
  • My other Sennheiser bluetooth headphones had the same issue, which is a much less significant issue with the noise cancellation that these headphones have.
  • If you appreciate quality, & are looking for the best Bluetooth headphones on the market, look no further, you've found them.

Reviews around signal (2.79 of 5)

  • Those who prefer a warm, focused, bass-forward sound will prefer the Sonys
  • As time went on it kept losing signal and the music was choppy
  • So if you're buying them because they sound better than the Bose, don't bother as they are larger and won't play high quality files
  • If I walked away to another room away from the laptop, it cuts out thus yielding an intermittent audio signal
  • 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 noise isolation (2.64 of 5)

  • these headphones sound almost as good as my wired B&O H6 2nd Gen headphones
  • so if you already have good headphones you may not be as blown away by these as I
  • 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 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.

Reviews around customer service (1.95 of 5)

  • 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
  • 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.
  • 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
  • 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)

  • but I would still wished it was a little bit easier to tighten that or loosen the other so at least they would match
  • I feel like it lacks a little bit of that texture you get
  • It is possible that the B&W's are better for a bit more money, but am unable to compare.
  • The only other reason I wouldn't give the headphones themselves 5 stars is because I feel like they should be able to go a bit louder

Reviews around bluetooth issue (1.87 of 5)

  • The B&W look slightly more elegant and are more compact, but with less range and no noise cancelling - which could be viewed as a positive in that there is less processing of the audio.
  • 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.
  • 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

Reviews around connection issue (1.83 of 5)

  • I haven't had any connection issues so far, other than when a solid door comes between the headphones and the audio source
  • But again, I haven't had connection issues like some have had

Reviews around environment (1.77 of 5)

  • In a quiet environment, the person on the other end thinks I sound great; in a car, it is not as good as holding a phone up to your mouth (again, riding, not driving).
  • n’t take public transportation or work in a noisy environment.
  • I am in a very noisy work environment, so noise canceling was the primary driver for this purchase
  • These are the only headphones I've owned that are suitable for noisy environments
  • (It can take ten to fifteen seconds.)As far as active noise cancellation goes, it may not be adequate enough for some, but I find that it does improve my listening environment.

Reviews around cord (1.73 of 5)

  • Some fault the B&O for having finnicky touch controls; these have no touch controls and only 2 buttons: on/off, vol up/down
  • All of them come with a corded option in case the battery dies
  • 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.
  • 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

  • With wired connection you have an option to use headphones in passive mode (with power off) or active mode (with power on).
  • The sound is even slightly more luscious in passive wired mode
  • In passive wired mode, this effect is mitigated and the sound is somewhat warmer
  • The sound of these when plugged in, using passive mode, is nearly identical to the wired Momentum 2.0
