Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Sennheiser Momentum is a product series whose goal is to merge the two most difficult attributes in modern day headphones, style and sonic performance. Here before you is the refinement of the original Momentum that started it all, the Momentum 2. The Momentum 2's packaging is typical of Sennheiser and immediately showcases quality and first class workmanship. Upon removal of the lid, the much reduced in size case is first apparent. The cable is mostly similar to the first iteration but no longer does it have the steel constructed in-line microphone and controls. You then get your typical quick start guide and Sennheiser's 2 year warranty registration booklet. Here is where the Momentum 2 simply outclasses nearly all headphones immediately. Not only do you get a protective zipper case, you also get a pouch. Nowadays the trend for such expensive headphones is to only include a pouch which is a slap in the face for such a costly investment. To even go further, Sennheiser includes foam to help keep the integrity of the pads composure while folded up. Now that's what I call quality packaging. And yea, folding, the new Momentum's can now fold which is nothing new in this day and age, but hey better late than never. The Sennheiser Momentum is simply gorgeous to look at. It's a very simple design at heart, but it's so well executed and tastefully down from the stainless steel arched headband, the glistening holographic Sennheiser logo and the stitched leather on the top of the headband. The ear pads are entirely redesigned and are soft to the touch. Finally, these can be safely called over the ear headphones thanks to the much larger in diameter opening of the pads in comparison to the previous iteration of the Momentum. The headband is essentially the same and maintains that fashionable low profile design that keeps the uniformity of the arch close to the head and reduces the bulge effect of larger headphones. Here we see steel reinforced folding mechanism that grants the Momentum 2 the ability to collapse down upon itself for storage. This should fare much better than something from the Beats Studio or Solo series with their plastic construction. The beautiful sculpted sound signature that I lusted over in the previous Momentum is thankfully unharmed. There's something about the level of refinement and soothing spark to the attack of the Momentum signature that is all too addictive. It's a very forgiving sound that still showcases the refinement that Sennheiser is all too well known for. The bass is very linear from 20hz to 250hz creating this sense of ease to the presentation. 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. It doesn't quite reach that last bit of laser tight composure of my planar magnetics like the Hifiman HE560, but boy does it deliver a dynamic slam when the music calls for it. 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 midrange presentation is sonic gold. Sennhesier just simply knows the foundation of the music and the tonal balance required to reproduce all of the information recreating a true to life experience. Vocals, guitars, pianos or whatever instrument lies in this frequency all have this robust composure that remains grain less and endlessly smooth with incredible low levels of harsh transient that also induces vocal sibilance. Overall, the midrange is quite linear with a slow descending slope into the lower treble which highlights the lower midrange and restores the natural heft in the sounds in that region. The level of detail rendition is also simply stunning maybe due to the heightened level of treble over the first Momentum or just a superior transducer at work. The treble is very articulated, but most importantly more in-line with the music in terms of emphasis. The first Momentum simple was too subdued here and resulted a closed in soundstage that reduced the sense of speed and clarity of the music. The Momentum 2 raises the treble just enough to revive the harmonic decay in the upper stratosphere, but not cause them to be too bright for their intended use. This welcoming improvement in the rendition of the treble music grants the Momentum 2 one of the biggest soundstage performances that I have yet to hear from a portable headphone. The stage is larger in width than it is depth, but it's very satisfying to hear. In summary, Sennheiser has listened to the feedback from its consumers and reconstructed the Momentum both physically and acoustically to better adhere to their goal, uncompromising mobile performance.

These are a bit old now. I know this but the sound is really good. Even better wired. I’m seriously enjoying these. Good purchase. Definitely worth it. No HD series. But for wireless easily driven headphones. They’re good.

Overall very pleased with the headphones, good sound and great Bluetooth range. Convenient to use. Love having the controls on the headset. Great voice quality and good sound isolation. Took off a point for the battery life. It seems to run out quickly and I can't use the headphones when they are charging. Also full charge is slow.

Returned my headphones. They were very good for wireless headphones, faithful to the original sound, however I was spoiled by the Sennheiser HD 600 wired headphones. Those are considered by many professionals to be arguably the best headphones for any price. Compared to anything by Beats, these Sennheiser M2's are terrific.

Easy to setup and long battery life. Good sound quality.

I have owned these since 2/7/2020. For wireless head phones these are great. They hold a charge for an all day usage, playing music, games, watching movies, etc. They do fit a little snug, but then my head is larger than most, but the sound is pleasing.

I love these headphones-although they are supposed to be noise cancelling they don't 100% block out noise but enough that it helps w/ outside buzz. My only issue with these headphones is the pairing on an Iphone7 plus is sometimes tricky and requires multiple tries.

It wasn't too long ago these same headphones sold for over $400. Little older technology, but well worth $199. Great sounding, and pretty good noise canceling. I think these sound much more refined then Beats. Also, the quality of the build is much better.

Got these for my son. He bought himself the beats noise cancelling a few years ago but regretted it once he heard better sound of Bose, Sony Sennheiser. He loves these headphones so much he gave me the beats. Added a dragonfly black and he is in audio bliss.

These headphones have been fantastic. The sound quality is great and the noise cancelling works too well. I never hear people come into my cubicle at work, even at lowest volume music playback, which is great and can be bothersome as people think I'm jamming out to some tunes. The "ear pressure" from the active noise cancellation is much less than my previous testing of headphones, to a point were I genuinely didn't notice it after 5 minutes. You can bypass it if you wire directly to your audio device, though that does defeat the point of Bluetooth, but it does extend the battery life. Speaking of, battery life has been really good and I've listened to music at work for hour long stints for about a month before needing a charge. 3 charges in and I'm very pleased. The fit is very comfortable and easy to adjust be ear muffs. The device feels very high quality and still decently light weight.

These headphones are very clear. They just need to be a little bit louder. I'm used to having headphones capable of producing a higher volume. You can purchase a headphone amp for these, however for this price I shouldn't need to buy anything else.

Great wireless headset. Very comfortable and has a great range. I've tried all different wireless headsets this one works the best on planes. It is so comfortable I wear it all day and use it for Bluetooth phone calls.

I listen to all types of music n this by faaaar is the best.. little bit better than the pxc 550 but doesn’t have the modern features. My go to and I do have lots of other sets. The build quality is freaking GERMAN :)

At the price point of these earphones I never thought that the audiophile quality was there. I’m happily surprised! Make sure to pair this up to a nice headphone HiFi amp and you’ll be in the studio with the artist.

Great sounding and comfortable. The way they are made exude quality. Noise cancelling could be better, but more than adequate. My wife has the bose and hers have better noise cancelling, but the Senns sound better. Not very base heavy, but clean. Highly recommend.

I was looking for quality of sound and overall product, I knew this was a top brand and got a good deal on it, with Best Buy. Delivery was a plus too ! So excellent retailer and excellent product !

I bought these during a $200 half price special, and I love them. The maximum volume and bass levels are perfect, and they achieve good sound separation between vocals and the instruments.

These are really nice headphones. Maybe not $400 nice, but nice. Sound quality is good, construction is sturdy, and they're good-looking. However, I returned them about 20 minutes after buying them because they have active noise cancellation that CANNOT BE TURNED OFF. This isn't a problem for most people, but ANC gives me headaches, so I had to return them.

I've tried many different over-the-ear Headphones and ended up returning them, but this one's keeper. I didn't like the design of it, but it's very comfortable to wear for a long time.

Bought these for my husband for Christmas along with a new turntable. We have both been amazed with the sound quality of the Senheiser's and the noise cancelation is the tops.
