It's hard for us not to love Sennheiser's Momentum on-ear headphones: they look great, sound great, and are comfortable to wear. If you're after a high-end, luxury pair of headphones then you should definitely give them a go.

Er sieht gut aus und sitzt sehr bequem: Der Sennheiser ist mit seinem Materialmix aus Metall und Leder ein echter Hingucker, die weichen Polster schmiegen sich perfekt um die Ohren. ...

The Sennheiser On-Ear headphones are a delight. They look sublime - although not all the colour finishes will appeal to all - and the sound quality they can kick out is a delight too. ...

... The sound quality might be accused of being more mainstream than the B&Ws, skewed to tunes with a bit of bass rather than classical, but that's no bad thing. There's no noise-cancelling, but the on-ear fit blocked out a comfortable amount of noise in testing. If you can live with the looks, the rest won't disappoint.

We found the Sennheiser Momentum headphone to be a surprising step away from the classic, level Sennheiser sound, if sadly toward the muted and tuneless thump of fashion 'phones popularised by Beats. There's little treble content to cause offence, but we found them just as wearing from excessive bass boom.

The Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear headphones take the excellent full-size Momentums and compress them into a more compact form. They provide superb sound with a portable design that will be right at home in the fanciest of airport lounges.

Sennheisers Kopfhörer sitzt straff, hält störende Außengeräusche fern und produziert einen satten, wenn auch etwas künstlich angedicktem Sound.

2Sennheiser’s Momentum mantra is “the symphony of perfection” and “the pursuit of perfect sound”. It would be a stretch to consider them “perfect,” but that’s ok – they’re not targeted at audiophiles, necessarily. ...

Testurteil: überragend

The Sennheiser Momentum headphones will appeal to audiophiles or anyone looking for full-size, over-the-ear headphones that sound equally good with a wide variety of music genres. Build quality is superb, and the handsome design is a nice alternative to more hip-hop and fashion-oriented headphones like the Beats line....

The Sennheiser Momentum headphones may not have enough bass to satisfy every taste, but they are in every other way the best-sounding full-size audiophile headphones we've heard in a long time.

The Sennheiser Momentum are some of the best headphones money can buy if you need a set to take out on the streets. They’re comfortable, look a good deal swisher than Sennheiser’s other sets and offer sound comparable to that of its best portable cans. The outlay is significant and for pure at-home use we’d pick an open-back alternative, but these headphones don’t put a foot wrong.

Great headphones, perhaps not the most acoustically transparent, but a lovely sounding set and one that suits pop, electronic and music with a strong beat the best. However you look at it, these are great cans

The Momentums are the perfect pair of on-ears for the dapper man about town

Nearly flawless; buy it now

A victory of design and audio performance, the Sennheiser Momentum stands out in an increasingly crowded field of luxury headphones.
