Sennheiser Momentum

[Dispect]

Hey all,

 

I'm currently looking at getting the Sennheiser Momentums. My primary purpose for using them would be listening to music and light gaming (I usually listen to music while gaming anyway). 

What are you guys' thoughts on these? 

 

Thanks

For out and about use they are good but I think they're not really headphones you would sit at the PC with.

what would you recommend then?

Are you looking for a closed headphone, or did you just like the way the Momentum looked?

The NAD Viso HP50 would be a more comfortable choice, but is a tad more pricey than the Momentum. Mayflower's T50RP V3 has godly pads, but it is a heavier headphone. Those are the only two things that come to mind right now in the price range that have a similar sound to the Momentum (past my bed time :^) ).

 

Edit: FYI, I only agree with @Coombzy because both the Momentum Over-Ear and On-Ear are temperamental in their fit, so I don't like to recommend either without trying them out at a store. Personally, I thought the On-Ear was more comfortable, because the "over-ear" Momentum was not big enough to go over my ears completely. There's plenty of people on both sides of the fence.

I have them and I have no complaints. Well worth the money

Head to the nearest apple store to try them out first. Allows you to get a feel for them and if they will work for you

A friend of mine has the on-ear version and they seem quite good.

The ATH M30x/M40x/M50x are good bang-for-your-buck options if you want to save a bit without losing too much quality. 

 

The V-Moda headphones are quite "fun" sounding from what I have heard.
