00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:09.000
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the Sennheiser momentum Series so this

00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:11.599
is their response to Boutique sort of

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:15.679
stylish but mobile and portable I mean Sennheiser has been building headphones

00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:20.279
for very long time they're very experience they build wonderful sounding

00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:24.199
headphones but they haven't really done sort of um a competitor to something

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

00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:31.000
beats in terms of audio quality cuz they've definitely done many competitors

00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:35.480
to beats in terms of audio quality but they haven't done something where it's

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

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

00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:48.280
momentum series made for iPod iPhone and iPad so you can already see that the way

00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:52.640
the The Branding is about it there's nothing about a pair of headphones that

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

00:00:54.239 --> 00:01:01.280
connector on the end um also there's this so momentum the name itself means

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

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

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

00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:19.520
a headset as well as headphones skip to the next previous tra and activate voice

00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:21.439
control these are a closed circum AAL

00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:26.840
headphone designed to isolate ambient noise so noise isolation for me anyway

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

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

00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:39.560
whether Bruce Banner is you know the

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

00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:47.280
Pinner because he's a scientist and whatever not that you know the tech tips

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

00:01:49.119 --> 00:01:55.159
car with them I'm getting a big grin from our new camera operator whose

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

00:01:57.360 --> 00:02:02.640
team this was the first announcement of that uh on the close circum maral design

00:02:01.119 --> 00:02:07.079
luxurious and tough breathable leather headband for Optimum sweat and water resistance soft and supple finest

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

00:02:09.920 --> 00:02:15.120
fit and the integrated Smart Control it

00:02:12.920 --> 00:02:19.519
does come with a carrying case this is the Brown version so there's a black

00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:22.560
version coming but we don't have it yet there's a little like packaging thing

00:02:20.920 --> 00:02:27.319
here Sennheiser is good at packaging although I swear the packaging for the

00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:31.160
PC 350 was just designed to prevent product returns not that I'm saying

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

00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:38.599
brutally impossible to put back together that you probably wouldn't be able to

00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:41.560
take it back anywhere anyway so none of this really looks that interesting

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

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

00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:56.200
part of a lot of people's daily Ensemble

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

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

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

00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:11.720
hold much weight the uh the zippers

00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:16.480
themselves though feel much better so they've got a little bit little uh

00:03:13.640 --> 00:03:20.519
braided Loop sort of rope here nice solid piece to hold on to while you open

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

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

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

00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:36.480
have a carrying case feels very well built so the inside is

00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:40.200
soft not going to scratch anything and is obviously molded perfectly for these

00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:44.840
headphones because it's not intended to be used with anything else and I again

00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:48.400
good great packaging so they actually have cable management and I'm having a

00:03:46.720 --> 00:03:53.000
little trouble with this with one hand Cable Management built right into the

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

00:03:55.239 --> 00:04:02.560
loop not velcro velcro is a trademark hook and loop style adhesive

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

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

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

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

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

00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:25.160
style headphone jack I can never remember the measurement but I'm sure

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

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

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

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

00:04:39.919 --> 00:04:48.479
on your iPhone it also has a ah this okay so

00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:52.360
check this out this right here is a locking connector that goes into the

00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:57.120
bottom of the headphones themselves they have swap it has a swappable cable

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

00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:04.600
bad happen happens you're going to be able to replace it and check this out

00:05:02.440 --> 00:05:09.240
you see this little piece right here that allows you to put it in and then

00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:12.840
lock it in so that it's going to be resistant to being accidentally pulled

00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:16.199
out like I'm actually heaving on this thing because you know it's just a

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

00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:23.800
which is great because headphones do get caught on things and we're just going to

00:05:22.440 --> 00:05:27.560
take a break while that truck finishes moving so I realized I haven't shown

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

00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:36.160
which is just for regular headphone operation no built-in volume control and

00:05:33.919 --> 00:05:38.720
I had Boll sort of correct me on something here I actually didn't even

00:05:37.400 --> 00:05:44.319
realize this but there are different standards for play uh track skip volume

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

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

00:05:51.400 --> 00:05:57.400
metal piece which does give a little bit more weight to the cord but because the

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

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

00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:10.720
there you go the headphone length is optimal for kind of putting in your

00:06:08.919 --> 00:06:14.039
pocket running down a little bit and then kind of putting it up your shirt

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

00:06:16.479 --> 00:06:21.160
be used on the go I haven't shown you

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

00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:28.520
jack quite like this it has a little Torx here so it looks like you can

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

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

00:06:34.960 --> 00:06:40.639
wherever you put it it doesn't really move unfortunately it doesn't go all the

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

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

00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:51.560
of audio quality there are no HD 555s

00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:55.160
which are my most the Sennheiser Headphones I have the most experience

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

00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:03.520
significantly less because they're aimed at more of a different uh a different

00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:09.120
style of customer so someone who wants something that is fashionable stylish

00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:10.759
portable comfortable lightweight may

00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:14.000
prefer the momentums but if you are sitting at your computer or in your

00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:17.680
armchair and you want to sit and enjoy your music I would recommend more of an

00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:23.639
open style headphone like the 558 now these are not super closed I can

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

00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:31.440
so it's not quite like it has active noise cancelling but

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

00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:40.440
was wearing them adjusting the earphones is just like this so it's kind of a

00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:43.360
rubber piece here that slides within this metal and you can see there's

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

00:07:47.039 --> 00:07:53.199
ear cups themselves so depending on the shape of your head they can rotate

00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:57.159
around this pivot right here the natural leather really feels a lot better than

00:07:55.599 --> 00:08:00.680
the pleather that gets used in most headphones and you can see there's mesh

00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:05.240
here to keep keep them breathable in spite of um how well you know leather

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

00:08:07.960 --> 00:08:13.759
really is the top doesn't have much padding but because they're not heavy

00:08:12.080 --> 00:08:17.159
this little bit of padding here actually does feel like enough and the

00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:21.319
construction I mean it shouldn't be uh it shouldn't be undersold how cool the

00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:24.840
construction of these is so there's more little torque screws there holding the

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
