Introduction

In recent years, the headphone industry has faced cut-throat competition due the large number of entrants entering this market. Companies are trying their utmost to outdo each other in terms of price and quality and the end consumer now has a wide range of headphones to choose from. With differentiation between the innumerable brands become less and less each passing day, the consumer has great difficulty in choosing the right product for his/her needs. Some consumers prefer top quality sound, while others place priority on design. A very established sound company “Sennheiser” has come up with a new top of the line product called Sennheiser Momentum. These headphones provide an ideal blend of sophisticated and sleek designing combined with the high quality sound the company is famous for. For sound buffs, these headphones are a dream come true.

Design

sennheiser-momentum-3The Sennheiser Momentum headphones are of the compact over-ear variety. They fit snugly over all ear shapes and sizes. The materials used in the construction are of premium quality. The company utilizes fabric and synthetic leather foam pads that comfortably encircle ones earlobes. The use of soft leather padding outside and porous fabric on the inside ensures that’s customers ears do not heat up after long periods of usage.

The look of the headphones is also praise worthy. Making optimum use of colors such as muted brown and silver give it a fresh feeling and help it stand out from its competitors’ products.

Although the size of the headphones is relatively small and ideal for carrying around with you as you hit the music scene, there is one tiny flaw in the designing of the product. Sennheiser Momentum headphones contain a hard-wired metal structure which prevent them from folding and fitting in the customers pockets when on the go. This is the only noticeable design flaw one can see in this brilliant product. The headphones do come with a portable case which can be easily carried along so one can overlook this minor flaw.

Comfort

This is an area where Sennheiser has usually excelled in and this trend continues with its latest product. As discussed in the design section, the materials used prevent over-heating and fit perfectly on most ear sizes. They are also pretty light and one does not feel like he/she is carrying the weight of a mountain on his/her head. Customers who fancy themselves as groovy Dj-types can easily swing their heads to and fro without fear of the headphones dropping. The metal band covering it provides a firm grip and prevents damage from free style head movements. The headphones also do an excellent job at cancelling out background noise without changing the original sound significantly.

Sound Quality

Sennheiser Momentum dazzles customers with providing a product that has satisfying balance between enjoyment and function. Its performance across all areas was much superior to the rest of the competition. The company has made use of high-performance neodymium magnets for remarkably rich and detailed stereo sound. The circumaural capsules ensures perfect listening enjoyment without ambient noise.

The audio was constantly clear and free from distortion. It was natural sounding and could handle both low and high beats effectively. We tested it using various different areas such as movies, podcasts, video games and songs and in each the Sennheiser Momentum did a commendable job. While watching movies, dialogue was crisp and intense action sequences with explosions and car crashes had just the right level of oomph without being eardrum killers. Bass was tight and had a deep bounce in it which is comparable in quality to Beats Audio by Dr.Dre. One did not feel the mid-bass bloat that is common in many contemporary-type headphones.

Sennheiser Momentums headsetThe distinctive element of the Sennheiser Momentum amongst its peers is its practicality. The headphones provide different sound settings for numerous types of usage. When one requires deep bass it’s there, however this did not hamper the frequency range when the product was used for other purposes. The treble was ideal with none of the harshness and unnecessary sharpness present in other headphones in the market.

The Momentum’s precision in sound can also be a hindrance in certain cases. Any flaws in sound were easily noticeable and customers must ensure that poor quality or old recordings are not compressed at a very low bit-rate. However, this is not really a deal breaking factor and can be easily ignored.

The Verdict Sennheiser Momentum

Sennheiser Momentum did an exemplary job in all three areas; Design, Comfort and Sound. They can counted amongst the best portable headphones available in the market today. They are ideal for use both at home and outside and their comfort/sound quality will suit the needs of most audiophiles However, they are not very cheap, quality comes with a lofty price tag. with prices starting from £310 at most retailers and price conscious customers should opt for other products.
