    Sennheiser HD1 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones with Active Noise Cancellation – Ivory

    • The bass is very "clean" and overall audio is just crisp
    • What is interesting, the impact of this bass enhancement only comes out to play in the tracks with a strong 4x4 kick/bass drum, while it was hardly noticeable in mellow tracks.
    • The bass is just fatiguing to me at any semi-loud volume
    • I really enjoy EDM (not dubstep lol), and really like a good bass presence in my
    • In this passive mode I found sound to be well balanced and with just slightly overwhelming mid-bass hump.
    • Good soundstage for a wireless set, good soundstage period, deep bass, clear vocals, and sparkly clear highs
    • Bass is excellent on both Sennheiser HD1 and Bowers & Wilkins PX
    • Immediately apparent over the previous iteration is the tighter control of the attack and the more precise rendition of decay resulting in one of the best bass performances that I have heard, period
    • The treble, voice clarity, and clear bass punches will sure make you listen to your music on the headphone instead of your expensive audiophile grade home theater system
    • I have auditioned Bose, Sony, JBL, B&W, B&O but found this has the best bass yet not overkill and very nice mid and
    • Immediately apparent over the previous iteration is the tighter control of the attack and the more precise rendition of decay resulting in one of the best bass performances that I have heard, period
    • 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.
    • 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
    • Amazing bass and crystal clear mods and highs
    • Good sound stage and bass
    • When the music is on, there is just perfect music: wide sound stage, even equalization, deep, warm bass, accurate mid-range and treble.
    • Nice bass and great
    • The bass is strong and it avoids one of the greatest pitfalls of noise cancelling headphones: bad handling of low frequencies
    • Bass is good, mids feel recessed, and highs are crisp depending on the recording
    • Nice feel, clear bass, nice BT implementation with Mac.
    • Clear sound all across the spectrum and solid bass that doesn't wash out other sounds.
    • Bass is muddy, the sound quality is so poor that i can't imagine listening to them
    • The Beats have a little bit louder/punchier bass — but the rest of the sound palette isn't even close
    • The bass is clear and powerful without sounding muddy
    • The sound is crisp and clear, bass is there but not overwhelming, you hear everything in the song, and they are comfortable
    • Very detailed, great bass response, very smooth across the entire spectrum
    • The bass did not muddle the highs and mids, but was still clear and definitely noticeable.
    • Great sound, nice bass response, well balanced
    • They have great bass that doesn't over power the mids in any way.
    • Clear and rich, with great bass.
    • Overall sound quality is like the qc35 in clarity with more powerful lows/bass
    • They do produce very nice, tight bass if you like your music real (e.g. the opening drum hit in live version of the Eagles "Hotel California" sounds great).
    • Integration into the midrange is seamless like with the previous Momentum, but now due to the quicker pace the bass to midrange bleed that occurred when the bass became too complex in the recording that sometimes flawed the original momentum's has vanished
    • The sound is downright amazing, good bass but not over whelming, to allow mids and high notes to be just on par as the bass
    • sound is really nice, and fairly accurate, almost to a fault as i felt it was lagging some bass, but after about 50 hours, they have loosened up somewhat and there's some bass now, i dailed up the bass in the phones EQ and all was good
    • Integration into the midrange is seamless like with the previous Momentum, but now due to the quicker pace the bass to midrange bleed that occurred when the bass became too complex in the recording that sometimes flawed the original momentum's has vanished
    • I don't like Beats, as I'm not a fan of the excessive bass, and Bose didn't have anything on the market
    • The bass too, while not overpowering, feels very tasteful
    • The BASS is just right and not too aggressive, mids and highs are clear
    • I am not a full on audio phile but I can say that the headphones does a really good job at producing sounds without making muddy highs and mids and bass is great as well
    • The BB Pro has elevated bass and it is too boomy
    • The bass was distorted, but yet magically seemed to be non existent
    • When I bump the bass up on the EQ the bass can compare with any bass headphones like sony mdr xb950b1
    • When I first listen to music via my Note 3, I was pleasantly surprised to experience a GREAT sound - TIGHT bass and really
    • Fantastic range, great bass quality only thing I think is a negative is that they could be a little
    • Great sound quality and decent bass.
    • and I thoroughly enjoy the sound; the bass has a strong presence without overpowering the other ranges.
    • Bass is great without being over the top, highs were good but wont make you cringe or
    • I would not recommend them, honestly don’t feel like those genres ever show off the full potential of the BEAUTIFUL mids that’s these have, and you would probably really enjoy a nice pair of Sony’s ( have really nice bass, they WILL shake your ears, usually have a eq curve better fit for those genres, and will save some cash along the way)
    • I thought the AKG's were lacking bass.
    • bass is good
    • Great bass
    • It's clean bass that doesn't muddy like Dre's Beats do
    • * Same sound as the wired version, except, with better bass, not overwhelming, but there when music demands it
    • So, overall I found Sennheiser Momentum 2 Wireless to have a balanced sound signature with a smooth warm organic tone and moderately enhanced bass
    • By default the Momentum sound is a bit flatter but boosting bass and treble, for example, resulted in positive/significant changes to the sound profile
    • 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.
    • Bass is definitely present but doesn't overpower the rest of the music
    • When I bump the bass up on the EQ the bass can compare with any bass headphones like sony mdr xb950b1
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • It is possible that the B&W's are better for a bit more money, but am unable to compare.
    • 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 mid-bass hump I experienced in passive wired mode was completely gone and smoothed out as soon as you enter active mode
    • These are every bit as good as I'd hoped they would be
    • these headphones sound almost as good as my wired B&O H6 2nd Gen headphones
    • It's not as good on these as on any of their competitors, but it doesn't suck
    • Comfortable to wear for 8+ hours on flights or when working as long as you adjust the cups properly and don't have them putting pressure on your ear
    • 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.
    • The earcups aren't as soft as on other products though, and for an over-ear the cups are surprisingly small, so if you have huge ears you may want to try these before you buy
    • 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
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • Those who prefer a warm, focused, bass-forward sound will prefer the Sonys
