The box for the Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 2.0 headphones is very compact and does not have any large plastic or card protrusions. It is a neat, professional package – with a large picture of the headset itself on the front.
This box many not say that these are version 2.0 of the Momentum Wireless headphones, but it is. For some reason Sennheiser's marketing in different regions sometimes does not show that.
The back breaks down the Momentum's specifications, detailing some of its major selling points and showing a small diagram of how the headset can fold up for transport purposes.
Along with the headset itself, there is a short set up manual, a warranty leaflet and a few cables. There is a micro-USB to USB cable for charging and a 3.5mm cable for wired audio connections. There is also a small 3.5mm to dual prong connector.
Along with those accessories there is a cloth carry bag and a firmer carry case with Sennheiser branding.
That’s even more expensive than a QC35 from Bose. I wonder if the sound quality and the quality of noise cancellation justify paying another 70 quid? Especially since Bose has made the best noice cancelling headphones for years now. Sennheiser typically has better audio quality, but if you want the best audio quality you don’t buy noise suppression anyway since you always loose some quality, particularly over bluetooth (and the QC35 also sounds great over bluetooth).
It loks prettier though, but that could just be me.
Good review Jon. I was after a pair of Bose QC25 before the QC35 where rumoured about a year back but my local store where out of stock, since I was in town I popped into Argos and they had in the lower-mid range Sony MDR10-RBT and I still haven’t gotten round to changing them, every day they get switched wired from my pc to my xbox controller for gaming then Bluetooth for music, they too support aptx and have a 20hr battery life and have a huge range with typical Sony bass but can be regularly picked up for £100. I’m just not sure any portable headset can justify an extra £2-300 on top of that. I’d invest that in a good second set. Those Momentum over ears are damned comfortable although I hated those furry momentum on-ears, those where like medieval torture.
