Lionus Tech Tips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by Phantom Glass. Visit
store.fantom.glass for the best darn screen protectors here
at Sennheiser. They're celebrating 70 years with some pretty interesting
products. Some of them are small refreshes. So, this is the Momentum Onar
2.0. Basically, the only changes is that now that lightweight metal band design
folds bippity boop just like that. That is about it. But other than that, same
materials, same drivers, same everything. The Momentum Onyear 2.0
actually has a couple of more changes. So, this one does fold,
but also gets an upgrade to the ear cup material as well as the ear cup size.
So, folks who were complaining that with the old Momentum over ear, they felt
more like an onar cuz it pressed down against their earlobes, that shouldn't
be nearly as much of an issue anymore. Now, both of these haven't changed in
terms of pricing. So, it's $2.29 for the onar and $3.49 for the overear. But
where they really shook things up is right here. Now, this looks just like a
regular Urbanite XL. In fact, if I were to tell you that it was one, you
probably wouldn't know any differently because the Urbanite XL has a detachable
cable. And in fact, this one does, too. But now, it's wireless. So, for another
50 bucks over the regular Urbanite XL, you get wireless functionality. It's
Bluetooth. I actually don't have a quoted battery life for this one, but
this one does about 15 hours battery life. So, you're going to get that same
ruggedness and durability, that same foldability and travel ability, that
same sound signature, however it is that you personally feel about that now with
wireless Bluetooth 4.0, all that good stuff. And that one's $300. And then,
wow, I just dropped a $500 pair of headphones in front of Sennheiser, and
I'm getting the nervous laughter over there. Wow. Oh, so this is the Momentum
Overear wireless. I just mentioned the price. They're $500. They haven't
changed the acoustic quality compared to the Momentum Overears. Extremely well
regarded. But what they have done is they've given it the Momentum 2.0
treatment. So, you've got those nice thick nice larger ear cushions on it. It
does still fold just like that. It charges via micro USB. But this one, and
aside from just plain sounding better than the Urbanite XL, no offense if you
really like your Urbanite XL, has some really cool technology inside. So you
get 22 hours of playback or two weeks of standby. And you get five microphones.
It's like, yeah, you're buying two speakers and five microphones. So one of
them is for voice. Yes, you can hold a conversation with them. Four of them are
for noise cancellation. So active noise cancellation on this bad boy. We tried
it out here on the show floor. actually the only audio thing that makes any
sense to try on a show floor. Pretty impressive so far. Compared to the
QC15s, which are the only other really well- reggarded active noise
cancellation headphone that I've personally tried, I get less of that
feeling of pressure on my ears, but I'd need to spend quite a bit more time with
them to really give you guys my thoughts. Um, I forget where I was
really going with that. Right. So, active noise cancellation. This is something I haven't really seen much of
from Sennheiser in the past. controls are over here on the back of the right
ear cup. So, you've got your power as well as volume a volume up and down
slider that you press in order to play or pause. And then finally, there's your
micro USB as well as you can still wire them up should you so desire. But if
you're going to go and pay $500 for ball and wireless headphones, you're probably
going to use them wirelessly mostly, unless your battery runs out of course.
So, that is pretty much it for the Momentum and Urbanite updates, guys.
Hope you enjoy all of our show coverage. I want to take a little bit of time to
thank our sponsors. So, these guys, you know, the guys that let me take my phone
and like do this with it and like rub it all over everything and not care even
though it's an iPhone 6. Yeah, that corner right there. I'm getting a I'm
getting a look from these guys over here. They're like, "What is he doing?" This is my Phantom Glass screen
protector. These guys make awesome screen protectors. They're made of Gorilla Glass 3, so they're perfectly
clear. You can't tell the difference when you touch them. They go on without
any bubbles whatsoever thanks to their nano coating and they're just plain
awesome. Visit store.fantom.glass to learn more about those. Also want to
thank HyperX for allowing us to be here. They got a great YouTube channel over
there with some great gaming content. Visit youtube.com/hyperex to check it
