I played around with the memory foam wrapped in soft leather to see if maybe it had been pressed too hard and needed to be adjusted

The ear pads appear to be genuine leather and are as soft as a well-worn club chair

The soft leather on the cups feels wonderful enveloping my head, and the steel band looks retro cool

That's genuine leather on the padding you see in Amazon's photos of these.

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

they sounded great, but with no padding around the top the leather was hard and they felt heavy and it was too uncomfortable for me to wear

The hard leather headband creates a pressure point at the top of my head no matter how I adjust it

The HD1’s ear pads are covered in rich, buttery leather that look and feel great.

I'm sending these back because the leather on the ear foam pads is not as supple as I was expecting,perhaps Sennheiser wants a sturdy leather?I own two other headphone sets in this price range (Bose and Oppo) and the leather covering the ear pads is very soft and supple on both brands

The built quality felt excellent, great leather head band, aluminum sides, plush leather ear piece

The earpads are deep, with memory foam and a soft leather wrapping.

Its sleek lines, shiny metal, soft leather, and minimal use of plastic exude refinement, luxury, and class without being too showy.

Everything as expected: crystal clear sound, super-comfortable leather earpads, easy blue-tooth connectivity.

the leather is soft and fits nicely around my ears.

Well the leather is nice too and the fit around not on my ears was a pleasure

And the leather and ivory and steel are elegant, over ear headphones are much more comfortable on long flights than earbuds or over-ear headphones, and I'm expecting them to last a lot longer than plastic headphones

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

A real leather headband and genuine leather earpads, the metal parts are constructed of stainless steel

Build quality is excellent, with abundant high grade leather and steel everywhere

The brown leather with ivory exterior is so clean

They feel like they are almost twice as heavy as the Bose and while the leather is super soft, it is almost TOO soft and is unable to hold the weight of the headphone on your ear, making my ears hurt after only 30 minutes of wear

The ear cups are very soft leather and

Overall you get a hard case, a soft carrying bag, and the headphones ooze quality with the lush leather, detailed stiching, and metal elements.-Battery Life: 22 hours of battery life is not an embellishment.

as a pair of headset, it blows big time; every single one of my friends complained i sound muffled, and they have really hard time understand me during calls.it isn't all lost though, the momentum wireless look great, and the ear cups are very comfortable even while wearing glasses, and the genuine leather material breathes rather well, so i can wear them for 5-6 hrs at a time without sweating or discomfort.

The parts of the cups touching your ears are made of a very soft and pleasant leather

I like that the earcups have the ability to swivel for listening comfort and the soft leather on the cups feel great against my face

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 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

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
