Forget the Headphone Jack... Sennheiser In-Ear Wireless Review

2017-04-12
so we humans have this extraordinary scale of having the ability to zone people out so what happened all of these are the Sennheiser momentum Indian Wireless coupe review review check this out the fans XP 400 s which is one of the best mint hours on the market got a sexy outrage now with a tempered glass side panel with a comfortable rubberized mount to show off your gorgeous system with an RGB LED strip included get your glass on with the Fant XP 400 s plans not included so wireless headphones sure are convenient but you also have to pay for that convenience because pretty much any wireless quality pair is quite expensive including this the sennheiser momentum on-ear Wireless goes to $500 yes so let's see if the momentum in your wireless lives up to the momentum reputation and don't judge me but also let me know if you agree but don't these look ridiculous when they're on you one walk around is to wrap the cable on the inside so that it doesn't spin out as much see looks much better so interestingly this pair sort of fills that gap of being Wireless in the air quality headphone without it being sort of focused on the athletic aspect of being waterproof and you use it to exercise but this is more of an elegant approach towards that lifestyle of wireless audio but I still think it looks ridiculous unless you route the cable from the inside like I said earlier now I really do appreciate this entire approach for this very comfortable very lightweight leather body that goes around your neck so you don't really feel it that's very smooth leather and there's absolutely no friction against your skin and it goes very well with t-shirts as you can see there's nothing overlapping it and just sits on on my neck just fine however if you go with a shirt as you can see it looks a little bit more intrusive and has to wrap around your collar and I guess depending on the collar size you might potentially be able to tuck it underneath it but yes wear accordingly based on your t-shirts shirts suits and stuff I do appreciate this very flexible yet constant neck band it feels like it might take some abuse if you're not carrying it inside the pouch which by the way is included it's nice it's a little bit on the larger size however it is a very thin profile and it doesn't it feels like you're presenting jewelry to someone and I'm pretty sure that was the hole and and despite it being you know somewhat functional and having a very nice comfortable area at the back so you can hold it while you present it to someone jewelry anyone yeah and as part of accessories mic USB cable is included along with three extra silicon ear tips so you can find your own size I do appreciate the overall design aesthetic of red stitching the leather the almost velvety plastics with just some Heiser text on one side some Heiser logo on the other they are chrome and they reflect at certain angles but they're not in any way flashy and I do appreciate the non tangle black and red cable but my favorite part has to be the chrome plated ear tips they look absolutely fantastic again showing you a bit of premium but without going in the already flashy route now this is one your nesting pairs of India wireless headphones that you don't have to worry about losing because they stay on your neck now they're not going anywhere but I wonder and maybe you are too as to why this pair has to be sort of this large why couldn't they make it smaller maybe it's because they couldn't make the the main plastic pieces any smaller for the bluetooth module or the controller module you know there's an NFC point here the vibration motor there's a lot of tech built into it but it's just to be great if they were a little bit more discreet especially with the neck band you know it's comfortable this way but it would be great if it was slightly bit slimmer and maybe these plastic pieces slightly reduced in size because you know we have the air pods and they're small and they're other you know Wireless in ear headphones that are much smaller and more compact this is okay size wise but it's not exactly competitive I would not recommend exercising with them not because they're heavy or anything they're super lightweight you don't really feel them but you know if you're doing something more intensive it does move around the base because it's very lightweight now one really awesome thing about the momentum in their Wireless is a built in vibration motor I don't think it's on the entire neck band I think it's just built in into the left side and it vibrates when you're receiving phone calls it vibrates when your battery is low so not only do you get audio cues saying your battery's low but you also get that little triple vibration feedback knowing when to charge it and that's pretty awesome because if the headphones are like this on my body I'm not exactly since them and I was to receive a phone call I would get that vibration indication without having to hear it you know if I'm on like stylus mode or something so that's a pretty awesome feature that you will not find on any other wireless in your headphone when it comes to the controls everything is on the left side which is easily reachable with your left or right hand so we have a power button we have an LED indication for Bluetooth connectivity there's a microphone plus minus buttons along with that central button so interestingly the plus and minus are a little bit swapped because you know when I'm reaching in to let's say adjust the volume I'm assuming that I'll be turning up the volume but that plus button is all the way at the back so intuitively I would think that they would place the plus button at the front because it's the easiest one to reach and it's also you use them to switch tracks so if you want to switch track for words you'd have to reach all the way back and press that button for two seconds instead of pressing the minus button which is at the very front which is what I would initially want to reach for if I want to switch tracks forward it's a little bit unintuitive but once you know where the buttons are located it's fine these are bluetooth 4.1 with support for a Flex codec AAC and SBC and it has an NFC chip on the right side of the neck band so you simply touch your phone and connect it BAM no longer do you have to go into the Bluetooth settings select your device and stuff everything is automatic almost just as simple as simply opening a box so now I'll talk about my experience with the audio and the first thing I want to mention is the volume range is excellent so there's a lot of power in here I would was never able to listen to even at like 90% volume I always had to go below and there's very nice volume intervals so you can dial in your preferred volume no problem as for the sound signature itself it follows in the footsteps of the wired momentum in years so it's a very bright extension a lot of emphasis on the treble a lot of detail and the sound signature and the bass is so good but it's only so good if you get the right gear tips and really kind of put these into your ears very snug otherwise if the silicone pads are a little bit too large and they don't create that seal you don't get isolation and everything sounds flat so make sure that you know you can fine-tune the silicon ear tips because the silicon ear tips here they really make the sound signature because when they're not completely snug it just doesn't sound right now I do prefer this brighter sound extension but in some instances I actually had to turn the volume down because the treble and the high end became way too harsh and this is listening music through Spotify through extreme quality with music downloaded on my smart phone now when compared to the rh8 t10 eyes that cost just as much as the Sunrisers the RHA is delivered more muddy air base it wasn't as pronounced and the detail just wasn't there so it's a very smooth roll-off on the higher end but the detail that the decent hyzer stick up is just astounding so if you prefer that that brighter sound signature then definitely check these out and the last thing i want to mention is the Sennheiser cap tune app it's a great idea because within it you can change the EQ settings and just basically play around with different you know profiles for different sign Heiser headphones however the equalizer or the custom equalizer settings are not global so they don't translate over to your streaming music or YouTube playback this is only for your local media being played back through captains so it's a little bit pointless because you can do the same thing on power amp which is a much more powerful music player and last thing I want to mention is there's no way to know the battery life on Android unless you would say turn on the headphone and you hear the low battery notification however on iOS through Captain you have the battery status bar which is excellent I don't know why that's not available on Android and as for the battery life itself I got the volt battery notification and the vibration about after five days of casual listening so that's while cooking while shooting something while going to the park and I would use these as I would with a wired pair of headphones you know of how much I would be listening to with podcasts and music and etc so in that sense it's pretty good and especially with this being recharged in just an hour and a half it's great and so it's clear that the wireless direction for headphones is the way forward I mean you know Apple already ditched the headphone jack let's see who's going to be next and it's great to see the momentum Wireless line growing because these are actually pretty decent with pleasing sound signature if you're into the bright extension with a lot of detail they have good battery life nice hidden controls and the C pairing and they look pretty awesome too there are some quirks though like having to reroute the cable every time you put them on so they don't look ridiculous there is no battery life indicator for Android and the plus and minus buttons are swapped which is a little bit inconvenient oh hey there ncx comm is Canada's leading a tailor for anything your mind desires just keep within those categories which are plenty and get tempted by the weekly deals visit mcx or compare all them sweet deals it is double the price over the momentum in years but the premium is of course expected when you go wireless thanks for watching we'll see you in the next video the middle button also has that little nipple
