Sennheiser Momentum Wireless: A terrific but pricey Bluetooth headphone

2015-01-28
hi I'm David Carr doughy and this is the Sennheiser momentum Wireless one of the best Bluetooth headphones you can buy right now though not exactly cheap at $500 what's great about it well for starters it's a very comfortable well-built headphone Sennheiser has tweaked the designs of both its momentum over ear and on your models both of which now come in wired and wireless versions and have a new folding design that gives the headphones a little smaller footprint when they're in their included carrying case with both the new wired momentum M 2 and this wireless model Sennheiser's made the ear cups a little bigger so they fit over your ears better and don't pinch anything the designers also made the ear cups softer aside from its wireless capabilities this headphone also features active noise cancellation and FC tap tap air technology for compatible devices Bluetooth 4.0 and it also supports the apt X codec on top of that you can also use the headphones as a wired headphone and it sounds very good in this boat and actually plays louder with a cable attached but back to Wireless mode for that the playback and volume controls as well as the power on/off button are on the right ear cup and I was able to operate everything easily enough by feel alone the noise cancellation which isn't too heavy is always on there's no switch to turn it off but battery life is still quite good at 22 hours the noise canceling worked well in the streets of New York and the integrated microphone which is actually dual mics work very well for making calls with my cell phone as you talk you can hear your own voice inside the headphones which keeps you from talking louder than you need to in many ways this is a direct competitor to the $379 Beats Studio Wireless which also has active noise cancellation the beats is an excellent wireless headphone and just as comfortable but the Sennheiser just sounds a little bit better with tighter bass and an overall more textured refined sound it's not a huge difference but there is a difference as far as the differences between this model and the smaller and less expensive momentum on-ear wireless this is a more balanced audiophile oriented headphone momentum on your wireless is a zippier more exciting model I'm not sure which one I like better for sound but I do prefer this larger over ear model for its fit it's just a little bit more comfortable anyway that's it the Sennheiser momentum wireless it's a shame it cost five hundred dollars but hopefully that price will come down a bit over time so more people will be tempted to buy this excellent bluetooth headphone it's great if you could afford it I'm David Carr noise thanks for watching
