Sennheiser's Momentum On-Ear
Headphones
Now here’s a review I didn’t want to start — mostly because I didn’t want to put down the product. Sennheiser’s Momentum On-Ear Headphones are an absolute treat. At Rs 14,990 they’re also a steal. I rather think that Indians, in particular, being rather fond of bass, will enjoy this pair of headphones from German experts in sound. But before I get to the sound, let’s look at the design, which is a no less significant part of this product. The On-Ear Momentum looks very sophisticated. On the sides is the glint of stainless steel and on the top a suede leather covering. The ear cups are soft and comfortable, fitting just on the ear, unlike the original Momentum headphones which are larger and sort of go beyond and over the ear. They are firm on your head and just never move about or shift out of place. And yet, they’re light and comfortable, rather nice for those who are on the go. There’s a soft case as well as a satin pouch to carry them . To add to their trendiness is the fact that they come in a selection of subtle colours.
The sound quality is well-rounded,
leaning towards bass, making them nice for pop, rock, lounge and, of course,
Bollywood. Classical music, both Indian and Western, might call for something
that isn’t bass heavy, though it’s all a matter of preference. The wire has a
set of control buttons for volume and song, and you can also make calls if you’re
plugged into your phone. These are meant for the iPhone but there’s a wire
supplied for use with other phones and devices. More appropriate for longer
listening is the original Momentum at Rs 24,990.
