" ... Mid range sounds were great and at higher volumes, the fullness of the sound is deeply satisfying. ... With music playing, you don't hear a thing around you. ... "
" ... Absolutely beautiful looking and amazing sounding headphones!! ... "
" ... I got the one without bluetooth and no noise cancellation and I couldn't be happier. ... "
" ... Definitely better than Bose or Beats. ... I had some Polk Audio ones, which were superior to Bose and Beats as well. ... So, I got these after a while of just living without good sound. ... "
" ... best sounding headphones I've ever owned. ... "
" ... The build quality is unparalleled - and they sound fantastic. ... They sound almost as good as my Audio Technica ATH-MSR7s, though the sound signature is less bright and the sound stage isn't quite as large. ... "
" ... As well as the sound. ... "
" ... The sound is great too, although I'm not any expert on this area, it is good enough for me. ... "

" ... These are the second pair of over-ear headphones I've owned. ... "
" ... The soundstage is nice and better than any over ear headphones I've previously owned, you can tell where the instruments are. ... As for the comfort, I have big ears and my old Sennheiser didn't have big enough pads although they were over ears as well (an older HD model), these are really comfortable and hopefully will last without hurting my ears like my old one. ... "
" ... Great sound, comfortable ear pads, great grip on my head. ... "
" ... I have the momentum 1 and although they sound great they are uncomfortable, especially if wearing glasses. ... Also the comfort with the slightly larger pads is enough to make these easy to wear for long periods of time. ... "
" ... Sound good earphone cups too small and uncomfortable. ... "
" ... I usually forget that I have them on because they are so comfortable. ... "
" ... They won't look as good, may not be as portable or as comfortable to wear for hours together as these headphones, but you can get comparable cans like the Audio-Technica ATH M50x or the Logitech UE6000 both of which are as good for much less money. ... It will only damage the foam padding and make the band less comfortable to wear! ... If you wish to adjust the clamping force just carefully increase/decrease the curvature of the steel arms alone. ... I do clean the skin oils, make-up and other gunk off the leather regularly. ... "
" ... 3Years later working perfectly fine, I was in the market for a headset, the leather is extremely soft and comfortable, only downside and its because of daily use for the last 2-3 yrs the connection wire needed to be replaced so just ordered one from amazon. ... "

" ... Mid range sounds were great and at higher volumes, the fullness of the sound is deeply satisfying. ... "
" ... Good bass but not too overwhelming like some other brands that tend to overdo it (Bxxts?). ... I would say that it is the best for this price if you don't want anything too boomy in terms of bass.\ ... "
" ... At first, I thought they were inferior to the Polk ones on bass and I set the bass booster on the iphone to "on." ... However, as they broke in, the sound quality, especially the bass, kept getting better and better. ... "
" ... Overly warm bass for my taste, but it can be much improved through eq, as can the rest of the spectrum to suit your taste. ... "
" ... These headphones sound fantastic with just the right amount of bass, mid, and treble for a great sound stage. ... "
" ... The Momentum 2.0 reproduces music with the common U-Shaped sound signature slightly de-emphasising the midrange. ... Bass is strong but not emphasised as much as with many popular headphones. ... "
" ... For Music you get strong bass but are still able to easily pick out higher pitch details. ... "
" ... They have an emphasis on bass and mids but mostly on mids. ... I thought I was a bass man to be honest until I encountered Senheisers so now I'm a Mid's and Bass kinda guy. ... Comparison: the Bluedios are extremely bass heavy and will in fact shake your head like you have a cell phone attached to your head on vibrate. ... Sound is extremely V shaped with little to no mids but treble and bass are good. ... Bass is no where near as accurate as the Senheiser 2's. ... Emphasis on Bass and mids compared to other cans in its price range. ... Bass and mids are not as tight and clear as the Senheisers but still sound amazing. ... "

" ... Overall a very solid piece of work and it won't break the bank for being the price that it is. ... "
" ... The build quality is unparalleled - and they sound fantastic. ... "
" ... Build quality is top notch. ... "
" ... the build is quite durable as well, I don't feel like it's going to break where it folds or anything. ... "
" ... You'll be happy with the purchase if you understand that you're paying for all that leather and steel goodness as much as you are for the sennheiser sound, because you can get cans that sound as good for ~$100 less. ... But if you're ready to invest in that one durable take-everywhere-with-you pair of headphones that does more things better than most headphones out there in this price range, then the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 is a good choice. ... I've owned the original pair now for almost 2 years, and after daily heavy use it still looks and functions like new. ... "

" ... The comfort and build quality is great, the case is a bit shoddy and being that I am quite large 6ft5 I find that after a few hours my ears start to get slightly sore. ... "
" ... They're amazing, and I love the protective case they come with. ... "

" ... I hear rolloff in the highest highs and the lowest lows, so I just EQ on my device. ... The mids are rewarding. ... "
" ... The Momentum 2.0 reproduces music with the common U-Shaped sound signature slightly de-emphasising the midrange. ... "
" ... Very balanced tone. ... "
" ... They have an emphasis on bass and mids but mostly on mids. ... Sound is extremely V shaped with little to no mids but treble and bass are good. ... Bass and mids are not as tight and clear as the Senheisers but still sound amazing. ... "
" ... Vocals are clear and realistic. ... "
" ... Overall, the drivers are pretty flat* in response, handling lows and highs equally well. ... "
" ... The soundstage on these is good, not superb amazing, but when the mids and random synth from EDM and hardstyle kick in you can hear things happening swirling in the earcups around your ears. ... The highs are just perfect, not sibilant (to me) and female vocals on these are some of the best I've heard from this price bracket of $209 at the time of purchase. ... "
" ... When they broke and I picked up the tone ultras, I was immediately impressed by the tighter treble and mid over the 730's although they lacked base. ... The base, although not as pronounced as a set of Bose or Beats, is very precise. ... Equalizer downloaded and there I have it. ... "

" ... I am using the blackdragon moon cable with these and it really opens them up. ... I am now using the cable on the momentum 2 (yes they fit them also) and I absolutely am blown away by the sound these now produce. ... "
" ... The cables used are extremely durable. ... "
" ... Sennheiser sells a slightly longer cable without remote. ... "
" ... -Nice long cord ... "
" ... But hey, 3 button speak easy cable. ... "
" ... The cable has positive locking so it won't just pull free. ... (I'm not dainty with my stuff so when I say it has not had an issue, I mean I have snagged the cable several times walking around my shop and it has not flickered or lost sound once.) ... "
" ... The cable locks into place which is a great feature for accidents. ... "
