I have the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Over Ear Wired version (Got from Harvey Norman's messed deal last year)
I have the Bose QC35II (Got Harvey Norman to price match with Amex deal)

I am not convinced by QC35II sound quality so I was looking at Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Over Ear Wirelss but they were pricey!

Today normal eBay suffering saw this deal poped up from eBay Today's deal. I am not sure how long the deal will last and I just pulled the trigger.

Using code PLUG5 make the price to $246.05. If you have the eBay gift card(10% 0ff), it works out $221.445 actually.

The seller is addictedtoaudio and they post their deal a week ago for $328.

    These look pretty decent for that price.

    I'd say for noise cancelling
    Bose QC35ii = or > Sony WH1000mx2 (3 may be better) > Sennheiser Momentum

    But sound quality

    Sennheiser = Sony > Bose

    Though individual preferences obviously come into it!

        I'm using these more than a year now. Very much comfortable for 3-4hrs of day use.

          I have tried this and Bose 35, if you are looking for decent sound quality, I can't recommend Plantronics Backbeat pro 2 enough!
          It actually has the best battery life ever experienced in a wireless headphone. I say this proudly as I have to charge my other headphones after 2-4 hours of use.
          For noise cancellation that I don't use much, these are not bad but the comment above is accurate.

          • dins on 08/10/2018 - 15:52

            @[Deactivated]: Yup the BackBeat Pro 2s sound awesome. great pair of cans.

    • Griefbringer on 27/09/2018 - 16:54

      I have seen no real consensus that the 35ii's have superior ANC. Possibly equal, probably inferior. Obviously though they're 2 of the best headphones in their bracket and other things like BT pairing, battery, other devices should probably influence a buyer more than the ANC differences.

    • [Deactivated] on 27/09/2018 - 19:49

      I have found the build quality on the Bose to be poor.
      QC25 have a common fault where the cable from the battery terminal cover breaks internally.
      QC35 series don't have this problem, as the battery is inbuilt and is not intended to be user replaceable, but still feel flimsy. With the Bose you can reprogram the button to change the noise cancelling. The other plus with the BOSE is the NC works for phone calls. I can take calls on the Bus and people on the call can hear what I say quite easily, and I can hear the conference \ skype call quite well.

      I don't know if it is all Wireless headphones, but the lag is so bad with the Bose I need to use a cable to watch videos\youtube ect, or the voice is way out of sync.
      Same for playing games. Music and calls is fine.

      I like the noise cancelling of the Bose, but next time will try another brand as they are too pricey for what you get.

    This model was a top buy back in 2015/2016 when released. However, with current technologies, I'm not sure if it's worth to invest even though the price is very good. Anyone has their own version of comparison between this model and the Sony 1000XM3 or Bose QC35II?

    My go to review site which is pretty critical of all the various headphones: https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/sennheiser/hd1-wir…

      Could you please elaborate what technology? Thanks

      • Banj0 on 27/09/2018 - 15:31
        +6

        I think that's the ANC technology. You could probably say that the Bluetooth is a little sub-par too…though I think that Sony is one of few manufacturers that caters to both Apt-X and AAC crowds (read: Android vs iPhone). The Sennheisers are in the Apt-X camp, and I was told recently by Sennheiser support that they have no plans to upgrade these models in the near future. They do have some AAC compatible cans though.

        I spent far too much time reading up on all the options recently, and ended up buying the PCX-550 (mainly reported call quality tipped me over). I've read that they include the same  drivers as these Momentums, and to my ear the sound quality is excellent (as far as BT headphones go) - in fact, the best I've experienced.

        I have nothing to compare Sennheiser ANC to, though it sounds transparent to me, and possibly lets a bit more through than Sony or Bose (i was kind of expecting something close to a sealed vacuum…but I don't think any of these work as well as that).

        I'm a little tempted on these myself…the price still makes them an excellent choice. The build quality is one of the best, with plenty of metal where it counts, and real leather. If ANC is important to you, I hear that it's worth investigating the Sony's (even the previous model - XM2 - which should be on sale somewhere).

        Note that the ANC on these does not turn off. I thought that would be a problem (another reason to pick the PXC550) - but in reality I never turn ANC off anyway. I think it's adaptive in the Momentum.

        This is a luxury pair of Bluetooth ANC over-ears, with luxury sound and luxury build/materials, but perhaps slightly less advanced ANC, bluetooth, and control features.

          Sony is one of few manufacturers that caters to both Apt-X and AAC crowds (read: Android vs iPhone).

          Good point…but the elephant in the room here is LDAC, given that it's now available as standard Android 8.0 or later (prior to that I used to buy Xperia phones just for LDAC). This codec has twice higher bitrate than even AptX-HD and supports hi-res audio of up to 24 bit / 96 kHz - we're talking lossless SuperAudio CD / DSD quality.

          If you're an iPhone user, Sony is definitely a better choice, as without AAC available, it will default to the good old and sub-par SBC codec. If you're an Android user, and have an interest in trying high-res audio at some point, then Sony is also a better choice due to LDAC compatibility.

            @elektron: Also worth noting that Android has had AAC support for quite a while now, as part of the AOSP.

            • elektron on 27/09/2018 - 17:20

              @NobalaKoba: True but this is only relevant for headphones that don't offer anything higher than AAC, such as Bose. Also, the majority of people don't bother with aftermarket ROM's and just want the best possible sound out of the box. But this is good info for those that root.

              • NobalaKoba on 27/09/2018 - 22:30

                @elektron: That's true, but as for your last statement, you don't need to use a custom rom. The AOSP stands for Android Open Source Project and vanilla Android.

                Basically, if you have any recent version of Android, the only way you won't have AAC support is if your device manufacturer specifically removed it. Of course, custom roms will have AAC support as well, but you can stick to the original rom in most cases.

                You were probably thinking of AOSP Extended, which is a custom rom.

            @elektron: Oh that's interesting about android 8, do you know if the codec will upgrade automatically or do I have to do something? Apparently my G5 plus 'should' get android 8 by Dec/Jan

              @EightImmortals: Normally, the phone would automatically select the best codec supported by your headphones but you can also select your preferred codec from the settings via the "Bluetooth Audio Codecs" option.

          • thriver on 27/09/2018 - 19:00

            @elektron: Hi.. Thanks for the tip. I am an iPhone user and was about to buy this one but holding back now after reading your comment. The AAC incompatibility matters for any music played from iPhone (E.g YouTube) or just the ones download or synced and played thru default music player? I mostly listen to YouTube music and currently have plantronics backbeat Pro 1st gen which is good but reaching end of life.

            • Banj0 on 29/09/2018 - 11:03
              +1

              @thriver: Funny thing is…I have the PXC550 (persuaded by the call quality, which is excellent)…and I have iPhone. I also have B&O H7. The H7 has AAC…the PXC550 does not…and yet I prefer the PXC550. I don't think the codec will completely trash the sound, and other things (such as general EQ profile, amp distortion etc) can possibly eclipse any gap in codec quality.

              Build of the H7 feels far superior to the PXC550 though.

              Would have liked to try the Momentum…because I think they're just so pretty. They remind me of old studio cans. I'm sure I don't need more headphones. Do I?

        • elektron on 27/09/2018 - 16:49

          ANC - definitely, but in terms of the audio quality, BT3.0 from years back was already capable of streaming lossless (and even hi-res) audio with the right codec.

        • AlbyDuck on 27/09/2018 - 19:26

          The way I understand it, BT 5 (no decimal point) has added nothing to Bluetooth Audio. Still 'Classic'- not low energy, and still A2DP.

      just BETTER

  • Hotchips on 27/09/2018 - 15:35
    +2

    I have these. Had them for about a year or so now. I tried them against the QC35's at the time. (many, many reviews read and a comparison made at JB HiFi)

    These are OUTSTANDING. Less of that pressure feel from the noise cancelling than the Bose ones. The noise cancelling is great. Lets a little noise through but completely removes humming or buzzing (devices/air-cons/PC fans, etc.). I find that better than zero noise personally.

    My main usage is wireless or wired to phone for music (calls are incredibly clear too) and attached to PC for music. The soundstage is quite nicely "ambient" (spacial?) and I can crank the volume till my ears are ringing and sound remains really clear.

    Build quality is very nice (I got the ivory ones).

    For this price I'd highly recommend.

  • KaiKai on 27/09/2018 - 15:44

    For this price, just buy it, dont be too picky!

    Pay $400-500 for the LATEST technology maybe to gain 5% better? That does not work for me.

    Got these for about 300 2 years ago. Would rate these at 4.5/5.

    My only qualms: call quality is poor, the people I'm calling can never hear me because it takes in too much background noise.
    It's comfortable, but the ear cups may be too small for some people and so after a few hours of usage it gets a little uncomfortable.

    • KaiKai on 27/09/2018 - 16:42

            @KaiKai: Yep I got lucky too with the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Over-Ear Wired.

            Saw a comment on OzBargain when the Pixel 2 XL + Telstra deals were happening at JB-Hi-Fi that someone mentioned he got a discount on some headphones by asking in store with his phone. I've always wanted the Momentum 2.0 Over-Ears, so when I went to get the plan, I was lucky enough to get the manager of the store doing the deal for me, so he gave me a manager's discount on top of another discount and I got them for $170. At the time JBHiFi had them for $299, right now they're back to $449.

      Was looking at buying parrots but picked up Momentum under this deal. Sennheizer is a lot more reputable headphone manufacturer and the product comes with two years warranty. ZIK 3 ones can be found cheaper but decided not to buy them given the mix reviews and some reports of reliability issues and poor customer support.

      Ive got samsung level pro anc… rubbish anc.

I'm not sure if mine are the same as this but an earlier model (they look the same), but will say that my new Camel coloured Zik 3 walks all over the Sennheisers (and are way way better than the Sony DR-BTN200 I've replaced).

      Couldn't guarantee it unfortunately - normally you need to wire it to work well with PS4's

      Has to be wired to the controller. These come with the 3.5mm cord so can be used, just not as Bluetooth.

    For just a bit more and for those who prefer earphones, you can get a variation of Sony's legendary MDR-EX1000. Its a small step down but its still in very good company with $800-$1000+ IEMs.

      link? You mean the EX800? around $300?

    I have both the Sony 1000XM3 and Bose QC35-II. In between those 2, Bose has exceptional NC and very good audio quality, but with the 1000XM3, Sony really came out with an axe to grind it seems…the NC on the 1000XM3 is incredible. Plus it can be adjusted for ambient settings, and the audio quality is excellent (considering the max I listen to is 320kbps mp3s). The QC35-II also has the advantage of adjustable NC (so does the QC35-I btw). You can remap the Google Assistant button in the QC35-II to switch NC from Off-Hi-Low.

      How would you compare the XM3 and the QC35-II in terms of comfortability? The XM3s are clearly more feature packed and probably have equal to or better noise canceling but the biggest selling point of the Bose was its comfortability. Wonder if that's still enough to recommend the Bose over the Sony

      • twister292 on 27/09/2018 - 21:51

        I personally find the Bose sit a little lighter on the ear (but that could simply be because they are both very new and will likely loosen up a bit over time) but overall, it's hard to pick a clear winner. Some people prefer Bose's buttons over Sony's touch/swipe controls, and Sony's voice prompts cannot be turned off…

    Just ordered a pair. Been considering the Bose QC 35ii or the Sony xm3 but the price on these Sennheiser is too attractive to pass it.
    Hopefully I won't regret

    Today normal eBay suffering saw this deal poped up from eBay Today's deal.

    How was your eBay suffering?

      😂 painful, bought $1500 eBay gift card and spent $1000+ already!
      Good pick!

  • Bargearse on 27/09/2018 - 19:50

    Any chance of the ivory?

    • Associatedaddictedtoaudio @ Addicted To Audio on 29/09/2018 - 11:16

      Unfortunately not, sorry :(

      We do have that available for $328 however!

    These sound a lot better than the QC 35 IIs. I have both. My Mrs and I have done a test, same phones same FLAC files, different headphones. The Bose are more comfortable, but these sound MUCH better.
    It's a no brainer at this price, seriously. I paid over double a few years ago.

  • Bunnyburger on 27/09/2018 - 20:21

    How do these stack up against the Parrot Zik 3?

  • Associatedaddictedtoaudio @ Addicted To Audio on 27/09/2018 - 20:39

    Hi all!

    Just a note that we will be closed tomorrow the 28th of September (Grand Final, Public Holiday - warehouse is in Melbourne!) so won't be able to dispatch (And the courier isn't picking up!)

    All orders will be processed and shipped from Monday! :)

    I've had the Momentum Wireless since 2015.
    Pro:
    1. They are really well made, stainless steel and leather..
    2. Ear cups are really comfortable (even though they don't really accommodate your whole ear, about the same as the Sony xm2).
    3. Sound is excellent, top class.
    4. Battery life is very good at 22hrs.
    Cons:
    1. They are heavy.
    2. The head band has NO padding, and hurts the crown of your head after 1hr.
    3. Ear cups aren't big enough, they are more "on ear".
    4. ANC is average. Sony XM2 has better.

    Verdict:
    At this price I would get the Sony XM2. My son has a pair and they are more comfortable and better ANC.

    I've just ordered the new Sony XM3 to upgrade from the Sennheiser! 😁
