 Sennheiser, the German audio brand, is a company behind some of the 
most high-end audio gear. Its Momentum line of over-the-ear headphones 
debuted a couple of years ago and was critically acclaimed for their 
balanced sound, comfort and design panache. Now, the Momentum is 
available in an earphone avatar. There are two models - one for the 
iPhone and one for Android smartphones, and they promise to deliver the 
same superlative balance of sound, design and comfort to the in-ear 
format. 
Let's see if they can live up to Sennheiser's lofty standards. 
 
Design and build 
 
<img align="left" alt="" border="0" height="225" hspace="0" src="http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories//2015February/dsc03164_022015054542.jpg" style="border: 1px solid rgb(215, 215, 215); margin: 2px 0px;" title="" valign="top" vspace="0" width="400" />The
 Momentum In-Ear is an attractive pair earphones. Bathed in a 
combination of red and black, they look very sporty. They have a glossy 
metallic finish, which adds to the lustre. 
The main drum is made 
of very sturdy material and it feels remarkably tough. The build quality
 is better than similarly-priced earphones. 
The control console 
has three buttons, which offer good tactile feedback and is easy to 
reach. We tested the model that is designed for the iPhone. 
On 
these earphones, Sennheiser is not using a tangle-free cable, which 
means these earphones are prone to get tangled, so best of luck with 
that. That said, the earphones come in a swanky pouch, which keeps the 
product well protected. 
Sennheiser is also a bit stingy when it 
comes to providing earbuds. It only provides two extra tips in the 
package, so you cannot mix and match different buds and get a perfect 
fit. 
That said, the buds, which are pre-fitted on the earphones 
are of a very high quality and are likely to serve users for a fair 
number of years. 
Comfort 
 
We found the Momentum to 
have a very comfortable fit. The earbuds were neither too tight nor too 
loose. They were just perfect. However, this is a very subjective take 
on things. Depending on the size of the ear canal of the user, it may 
provide a snug, yet comfortable fit, or may turn out to be loose or too 
tight. 
We also found it to be very comfortable over extended use. 
Whether you are jogging, walking your dog, sitting around or driving, in
 all likelihood you will find the Momentum In-Ear comfortable to use. 
Performance 
 
<img align="left" alt="" border="0" height="225" hspace="0" src="http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories//2015February/dsc03163_022015054541.jpg" style="border: 1px solid rgb(215, 215, 215); margin: 2px 0px;" title="" valign="top" vspace="0" width="400" />At Rs.6,990, these are expensive earphones for Indian consumers, so they have to be utterly fantastic in terms of their audio quality. 
Overall, we found the sound coming out of the Momentum good. But it is also something that may not be everyone's cup of tea. 
As
 audiophiles will put it, the sound of the Momentum's is decidedly 
European, which means the frequency response and sound signature is very
 bright. Of course, Sennheiser is a German brand, but traditionally the 
sound of its products is more neutral and balanced. 
Heck, even the
 over-the-ear Momentum headphones have a very balanced sound, which did 
not gravitate towards a particular frequency, but did a good job with 
all kinds of music. The same rule does not apply to these earphones. 
They
 have a very sharp yet precise sound. By this, we mean if you listen to a
 lot of blues and rock, then you will probably not like the sound, as 
the treble will often overwhelm the mid-range frequencies, leaving the 
sound of the instruments in the mix quite thin. In fact, it also sounds a
 little too sharp with even regular Bollywood songs, as it laggards when
 it comes down to vocals, which are largely based on the mid-range 
frequencies. 
We tested songs like Eric Clapton & BB King's 
Riding with the King, Gun's n Roses Sweet Child'O Mine, Metallica's 
Creeping Death, Chemical Brother's Swoon, Daft Punk's Around the World, 
and Led Zeppelin's Battle of Evermore. 
When we tested songs like 
the Battle of Evermore, the bright sound often acted like a boon and the
 song sounded beautiful. This holds true for all the songs, which are 
dominated by an acoustic stringed instrument as the pristine bright 
sound makes the instrument cut through the mix in a better way. 
The
 bright nature also works wonders when tested with metal music as this 
kind of music is often heavy on the lower-mid-range frequencies and a 
bright sounding earphone can often balance the sound so that it does not
 sound muddy. 
The sound of the Momentum is also very good if you 
are into electronic music. The sound stage of the earphones is fantastic
 and they provide a very tight bass, so more often than not, you will 
enjoy listening to electronic music via these earphones. 
If 
someone has used Sennheiser products before, the bigger issue is that 
these earphones don't sound like typical Sennheiser earphones. They have
 a somewhat sterile sound, which can be associated with a brand like 
Bang and Olfuson. 
Should you buy it? 
 
<img align="left" alt="" border="0" height="225" hspace="0" src="http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/stories//2015February/dsc03167_022015054542.jpg" style="border: 1px solid rgb(215, 215, 215); margin: 2px 0px;" title="" valign="top" vspace="0" width="400" />We don't out-rightly recommend the Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear. With the price of Rs.6,990 they do not represent good value, as they don't sound good with all types of music. 
For
 example they sound too bright for genres like Rock, Pop, Jazz and even 
Bollywood Pop. That said, if you are into heavy metal and electronic 
music (which is a strange/rare combination to begin with) then they are 
quite sublime. If you are someone into metal music the Momentum In-Ear 
makes perfect sense for you. 
Apart from the sound quality, we also
 feel that Sennheiser should have made the Momentum In-Ear a sweeter 
package by including a few more earbuds. It should have also gone for a 
tangle-free cord. These are little things but when it comes to premium 
products, these matter.</div>
