An Experience of Sound - Sennheiser Momentum M2 IEi's.

review by nfsdude0125

Hey all!

Today, I'm taking yet another step into my favourite headphone manufacturers catalog, Sennheiser! This time, I went to a slightly higher margin from my usual's and took a mid-high range set for a go, the Sennheiser Momentum in-ears.

Now, the Momentum name, if you're familiar with Sennheiser naming, is fairly unusual, but it is very nice to see a subtle change around with no loss of what makes them great, sheer quality.

Some small things that are noteworthy for some, the entire set weighs a total of 18g, making them very comfortable and lightweight. They have also put a nice right angled connector on there, which is awesome!

Let's list what you get, and what you don't.

- Momentum in-ears in your choice of iOS or Android configuration (relates to the buttons on the mic)
- Varied sizes of ear buds
- Stylish semi-hard carry case with molding and red stitching!

What you don't get.

- Airplane plug (two mono two single stereo)
- 6.5mm adapter for high-end application

So, not very crucial for the average listener, but that being said, your average listener isn't spending more than $100AUD on a set of headphones. If they are, however, it is a very nice package and the headphone design is subtle but very impressive. Half of the cable is a full black up until the driver cables, which it is red/black. Very nice touch and has the feel of a high-end pair of buds.

We'll take a quick look at the packaging and carry case in use.




Stylish and functional, I'm a fan! The red stitching is a small touch that is well appreciated as it is something a lot of others would overlook.

Let's move on to headphone performance and specs.

We'll discuss the actual drivers first. Unlike a lot of brands, the driver used in these headphones is precision milled Stainless Steel, with no plastic used on the acoustic parts of the headphones. You cannot see it but it can be heard by the sheer quality demonstrated by listening to your favourite music. The buds themselves are also angled at 15 degrees for a snug fit into your ear canals. They fit so well, I've actually not noticed them there! Just the incredible sound of my music library.

The specifications of the headphones:

Impedance: 18 ohm
Frequency Response (headphones): 15Hz to 22kHz.
Sound Pressure Level or SPL: 118db, demonstrated at 1kHz at 1Vrms
THD (Total Harmonic Distortion): <0.5% at 1kHz, 100db SPL

Specifications of the microphone:

Frequency Response (microphone): 100Hz to 10kHz.
Pick up pattern: Omni-Directional
Mic Sensitivity: - 44 dB V/Pa

All very impressive. Upon testing the frequency response, the headphones can actually be heard producing 12Hz, which is incredible. Sennheiser products, once again, outdoing their own design. The low frequency response is very good, not drowning out the highs or mids, a trait commonly found among a lot of bassy headphones.

The microphone is impeccably clear for phone calls though I wouldn't use it for monitoring, as there is slight echoing. Very slight, but could compromise high-quality recordings.

Let's take a look at the actual drivers.




The black and red, with the stainless Sennheiser logo looks absolutely perfect.

But no, no, they are not just looks. The drivers perform amazingly in every situation, and outperform a lot of other headphones when it comes to music with a heavy low frequency sound stage. All of this is complimented by a fantastic sound insulation! With no music playing, you will struggle to hear outside noise. This is a very good thing!

As well as all this blatant quality, Sennheiser has backed themselves further by applying a 2-year manufacturer warranty, from the date of purchase! Bravo Sennheiser!

My final word is, if you are seeking a pair of headphones and have ~$130 burning a hole in your pocket/wallet, put it here and buy these, you will LOVE them.

ProsCons
Clearly defined sound stage over all frequencies, well rounded bass without overtaking the rest of the track.Mids rounded back, highs are a little too forward.
