Momentum On-Ear

AKG K371, Momentum 1, HE-R9. Most of the time (when using closed backs) I’m taking the K371 – I really like the overall sound (with just the right amount of bass imo). The Momentum sounds more v-shaped and „darker“ but because of high clamping force i don’t use them a lot. With the HE-R9 connects me a kind of love-hate … some songs really work well then they make fun, a lot sadly don’t, and the mids are way too dark because of swapping bass – u have to eq them a lot

My gf got given some of these for Christmas a while back. They sound fine for the price, but benefit from EQ quite a bit. The issue is the comfort, they clamp my ears super hard and hurt a lot. My solution was to stretch them out carefully overnight on a pillow, and then switched the pads to the momentum 1 ones (the fabric ones)

Thats honestly weird. Apple apm, sony whxm, bose qc, sennheiser momnetum/hdb, etc. can all do it. Very common feature for modern headphones in this space :)

I'm a big fan of the PP and I love your plan. That said, not long ago I upgraded the pads on my OG Sennheiser Momentum and it made quite a difference. I know you said no more messing with pads, but the new ones are larger so they're true over-ears now and the comfort makes them so much more enjoyable. Just thought I'd throw that out before you get rid of them because they are a great set and this small change made me appreciate them like I never did before.

I use the Sennheiser Momentum and I’m happy with it. For everyone here who is so pro-Shokz: the Momentum has a very solid mode where you can turn off the ANC.

I loved the sound on the momentums but after only a few days they started making creaking noises whenever I slightly moved my head 😢. Ig what I'm tryna say is just beware cus I think they have poor quality control

Sennheiser Momentum headphones. Have had 15 years, still phenomenal, although I've switched to Sonys for daily listening because of Bluetooth. The Sennheisers have the Sonys beat for build quality and sound though.
