00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:09,000
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the Sennheiser momentum Series so this

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:11,599
is their response to Boutique sort of

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:15,679
stylish but mobile and portable I mean Sennheiser has been building headphones

4
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:20,279
for very long time they're very experience they build wonderful sounding

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:24,199
headphones but they haven't really done sort of um a competitor to something

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,960
like a beats and I don't mean to say they haven't done a competitor to a

7
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:31,000
beats in terms of audio quality cuz they've definitely done many competitors

8
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:35,480
to beats in terms of audio quality but they haven't done something where it's

9
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:39,399
not designed to sort of sit in your easy chair and listen to music and enjoy the

10
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:44,520
experience something that's meant to be taken with you on the go so this is the

11
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:48,280
momentum series made for iPod iPhone and iPad so you can already see that the way

12
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:52,640
the The Branding is about it there's nothing about a pair of headphones that

13
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:56,760
makes it made for an iPod other than the fact that it has a 3 and a half millimet

14
00:00:54,239 --> 00:01:01,280
connector on the end um also there's this so momentum the name itself means

15
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:05,080
okay it's meant to go with you sort of on the go easing control of iPhone with

16
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:09,680
Smart Remote and inline mic okay so it does have that going for it but that doesn't mean that it won't work with

17
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:14,080
other things a volume up and down play pause answer and reject a call so it is

18
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:19,520
a headset as well as headphones skip to the next previous tra and activate voice

19
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:21,439
control these are a closed circum AAL

20
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:26,840
headphone designed to isolate ambient noise so noise isolation for me anyway

21
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:30,439
is a very big deal when I'm out in boat it's nice to be able to sit on the bus

22
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:37,159
and not have to listen to the conversation of the people next to me where they're talking about I don't know

23
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:39,560
whether Bruce Banner is you know the

24
00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:43,680
actor is buff enough to be a hero or whether it's okay that he's kind of

25
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:47,280
Pinner because he's a scientist and whatever not that you know the tech tips

26
00:01:45,399 --> 00:01:50,479
crew has conversations like this much to my annoyance when I'm have to sit in the

27
00:01:49,119 --> 00:01:55,159
car with them I'm getting a big grin from our new camera operator whose

28
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:58,840
nickname is Boll just so you guys know we have a new member of the tech tips

29
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:02,640
team this was the first announcement of that uh on the close circum maral design

30
00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:07,079
luxurious and tough breathable leather headband for Optimum sweat and water resistance soft and supple finest

31
00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:12,920
Leather Ear pads for excellent wearing Comfort metal construction ear cup slider for maximum durability and custom

32
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:15,120
fit and the integrated Smart Control it

33
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:19,519
does come with a carrying case this is the Brown version so there's a black

34
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:22,560
version coming but we don't have it yet there's a little like packaging thing

35
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:27,319
here Sennheiser is good at packaging although I swear the packaging for the

36
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:31,160
PC 350 was just designed to prevent product returns not that I'm saying

37
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:36,080
anyone would want to return the PC 360 headset it's just that it was so like

38
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,599
brutally impossible to put back together that you probably wouldn't be able to

39
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,560
take it back anywhere anyway so none of this really looks that interesting

40
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:46,760
there's your warranty information and quick start guide if you need a quick start guide for a headset then you

41
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:53,720
probably need help getting dressed in the morning because let's face it headsets and headphones are as much a

42
00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:56,200
part of a lot of people's daily Ensemble

43
00:02:53,720 --> 00:03:01,200
that they wear as a shirt so it comes with a little Loop here that ah I don't

44
00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:04,560
know I give this sort of of a B minus for how rugged and durable it looks I'm

45
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:10,120
not sure how long that's going to hold on for you but it's also not expected to

46
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,720
hold much weight the uh the zippers

47
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:16,480
themselves though feel much better so they've got a little bit little uh

48
00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:20,519
braided Loop sort of rope here nice solid piece to hold on to while you open

49
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:23,239
them up they have a good sliding feel to them so they don't feel cheap like

50
00:03:21,879 --> 00:03:26,599
they're just going to stop working after a little while I mean that's that's a

51
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:31,400
huge thing because not everyone wants to just wear something like this around their neck all the time so it's nice to

52
00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:36,480
have a carrying case feels very well built so the inside is

53
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:40,200
soft not going to scratch anything and is obviously molded perfectly for these

54
00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:44,840
headphones because it's not intended to be used with anything else and I again

55
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:48,400
good great packaging so they actually have cable management and I'm having a

56
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:53,000
little trouble with this with one hand Cable Management built right into the

57
00:03:50,239 --> 00:03:58,000
package here so this is all kind of like aha I see I always forget this hook and

58
00:03:55,239 --> 00:04:02,560
loop not velcro velcro is a trademark hook and loop style adhesive

59
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:06,439
strips so this whole inside is like the soft side and then there's a rough side

60
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,680
with the hooks here so you can actually cover that up and it'll be useful any

61
00:04:08,599 --> 00:04:13,400
number of times and you can store it here when you're not using it then we've

62
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:18,120
got all the little adapters and stuff that we need that it comes with and I'll

63
00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:22,120
show you guys what we got inside so it comes with a 3 and 1 12 mm to the larger

64
00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:25,160
style headphone jack I can never remember the measurement but I'm sure

65
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:28,840
someone will correct me in the comments and let me know that it's not what I

66
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,639
thought it was which I couldn't remember there you go so we got one of those just

67
00:04:30,479 --> 00:04:35,919
in case I mean if you're going to buy a nice expensive pair of headphones yeah they're not cheap guys for those of you

68
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:41,000
who were wondering uh if you're going to buy a nice expensive pair of headphones you might as well uh enjoy them not just

69
00:04:39,919 --> 00:04:48,479
on your iPhone it also has a ah this okay so

70
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:52,360
check this out this right here is a locking connector that goes into the

71
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:57,120
bottom of the headphones themselves they have swap it has a swappable cable

72
00:04:54,199 --> 00:05:00,400
system there you go so that if you break the cable or lose the cable or anything

73
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:04,600
bad happen happens you're going to be able to replace it and check this out

74
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:09,240
you see this little piece right here that allows you to put it in and then

75
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:12,840
lock it in so that it's going to be resistant to being accidentally pulled

76
00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:16,199
out like I'm actually heaving on this thing because you know it's just a

77
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:21,240
sample pair of headphones I guess it doesn't matter if I accidentally break it but I'm not accidentally breaking it

78
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:23,800
which is great because headphones do get caught on things and we're just going to

79
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:27,560
take a break while that truck finishes moving so I realized I haven't shown

80
00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:31,440
this to you guys yet but there you go there's the four pole to three pole

81
00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:36,160
which is just for regular headphone operation no built-in volume control and

82
00:05:33,919 --> 00:05:38,720
I had Boll sort of correct me on something here I actually didn't even

83
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:44,319
realize this but there are different standards for play uh track skip volume

84
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:49,520
up and volume down so this control here does not work on Android so I have my

85
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:53,199
phone in my pocket it is not working you can see the mic on the back this is a

86
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:57,400
metal piece which does give a little bit more weight to the cord but because the

87
00:05:55,840 --> 00:06:02,479
headphones themselves are quite light it's not that much of an issue and it really feels quality quity when you're

88
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:06,759
actually using it when you can use it because you're uh you're an iOS user so

89
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:10,720
there you go the headphone length is optimal for kind of putting in your

90
00:06:08,919 --> 00:06:14,039
pocket running down a little bit and then kind of putting it up your shirt

91
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:19,800
cuz a lot of people do that or you can just let it hang so it is again meant to

92
00:06:16,479 --> 00:06:21,160
be used on the go I haven't shown you

93
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,720
guys this yet this is really cool I don't think I've ever seen a headphone

94
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:28,520
jack quite like this it has a little Torx here so it looks like you can

95
00:06:26,039 --> 00:06:32,680
tighten and loosen it but it's got 90° of play here so that you can have it

96
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:36,720
come out at an angle or you can have it come straight out and it kind of sticks

97
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:40,639
wherever you put it it doesn't really move unfortunately it doesn't go all the

98
00:06:38,599 --> 00:06:44,039
way back the other way but uh it still gives you I mean you can obviously turn

99
00:06:42,199 --> 00:06:49,240
it around if you want cuz it's just sitting in a headphone jack now in terms

100
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:51,560
of audio quality there are no HD 555s

101
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:55,160
which are my most the Sennheiser Headphones I have the most experience

102
00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:59,080
with they've been replaced by the 558 in spite of the fact that the 558 do cost

103
00:06:57,319 --> 00:07:03,520
significantly less because they're aimed at more of a different uh a different

104
00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:09,120
style of customer so someone who wants something that is fashionable stylish

105
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:10,759
portable comfortable lightweight may

106
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:14,000
prefer the momentums but if you are sitting at your computer or in your

107
00:07:12,319 --> 00:07:17,680
armchair and you want to sit and enjoy your music I would recommend more of an

108
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:23,639
open style headphone like the 558 now these are not super closed I can

109
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:28,039
hear a little bit of what's going on around me but they are definitely um so

110
00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:31,440
so it's not quite like it has active noise cancelling but

111
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:36,759
they are pretty close to the point where I was having a little bit of trouble communicating with my camera crew when I

112
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:40,440
was wearing them adjusting the earphones is just like this so it's kind of a

113
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:43,360
rubber piece here that slides within this metal and you can see there's

114
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:49,039
enough slack on the cord here that you're not going to risk accidentally tugging on it there is some play to the

115
00:07:47,039 --> 00:07:53,199
ear cups themselves so depending on the shape of your head they can rotate

116
00:07:50,759 --> 00:07:57,159
around this pivot right here the natural leather really feels a lot better than

117
00:07:55,599 --> 00:08:00,680
the pleather that gets used in most headphones and you can see there's mesh

118
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:05,240
here to keep keep them breathable in spite of um how well you know leather

119
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:10,039
might not seem like something that would be that would be breathable and would be comfortable against your skin but it

120
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:13,759
really is the top doesn't have much padding but because they're not heavy

121
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:17,159
this little bit of padding here actually does feel like enough and the

122
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:21,319
construction I mean it shouldn't be uh it shouldn't be undersold how cool the

123
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:24,840
construction of these is so there's more little torque screws there holding the

124
00:08:23,159 --> 00:08:29,159
whole thing together and I think that pretty much wraps it up thank you for checking out this unboxing and first
