You get all the isolation and comfort of an over-the-ear design with only a fraction of the usual weight and bulk, and you get a clear, rich sound profile that will win over all but the most snobbish audiophiles. Serve that up with a generous helping of handsome, and you’ve got a winner.

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

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 Momentums combine style, strong construction and excellent sound quality. If you're after a pair of headphones for the commute and you value clear, accurate sound, then the Momentums would be a superb choice.

All-in-all, we like the Momentums a great deal ...they certainly aren't cheap, so it's a considered purchase. For this money, there's lots of choice, but these are more natural-sounding and well-rounded than a lot of the "fashion headphones" that are designed for a specific type of music, and push...

The Momentum is simply one of the best balanced headphone offerings I've ever experienced. They're very good looking, very good sounding, have excellent isolation, are easily driven from portable players, and are supremely comfortable. This is an ideal headphone for home, office, and listening on...

Dipping their toes in the water of fashionable mobilewear, Sennheiser released the Momentum Black Edition to the public. While it certainly is slick, and it has a mostly good performance, there’s a really bizarre issue in the 3.5kHz range that will make higher notes sound very strange.

Sennheiser has revamped its headphones design with the fresh and stylish Momentum. And the good news is that audio quality is first-rate too!

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.

A lightweight marriage of stainless steel and buttery smooth sheepskin leather, the Momentum Black features a flexible 3.5mm audio jack -- with sexy red accents on the cups, cable and headband stitching -- simple inline audio controls and a built-in microphone for taking phone calls.

What makes them so nice? Well, for starters they're very light. They're also very comfortable, with real leather memory-foam earpads. I only got a chance to wear them for about 5 minutes, but Sennheiser reps said they're designed to be worn for hours and I believe them.

This week the folks at Sennheiser have shown off their next great hero headphones: MOMENTUM Black. This release takes the greatness of the MOMENTUM series and delivers it in what the company calls a “perfect fusion of style and substance”. They certainly sound great.
