The light and comfortable Sennheiser Momentum headphones Video Transcript

Hi. I'm David Carnoy. I'm here at CES 2013 and I'm here with the new Sennheiser Momentum headphones. What's kinda cool about these headphones is that they're very comfortable and they're also lightweight. They come with these leather pads and they have memory foam in them. They are $350. They do sound very good, clean sound, clear, good bass, but it is really the comfort level. Sennheiser said you wear these for hours upon hours. Notice among cool feature is the headphone jack. You can either plug this straight in or you can actually turn that headphone jack and put it in a 90-degree angle and that'll help for durability. I'm David Carnoy and those are the Sennheiser Momentum headphones. Thanks for watching.

Sennheiser Momentum Review

The good: The Sennheiser Momentum headphones are an elegant full-size over-the-ear pair featuring a brushed stainless-steel headband and plush, leather-covered earpads. Sound and build quality are excellent, and the headphones come with a nice carrying case, as well as two cables, one of which has an Apple-friendly in-line remote and microphone.

The bad: The Momentum headphones are pricey and don't fold flat for compact storage.

The bottom 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.
