1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,319 Lionus Tech Tips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by Phantom Glass. Visit 2 00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:10,160 store.fantom.glass for the best darn screen protectors here 3 00:00:07,919 --> 00:00:13,920 at Sennheiser. They're celebrating 70 years with some pretty interesting 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:19,279 products. Some of them are small refreshes. So, this is the Momentum Onar 5 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:25,439 2.0. Basically, the only changes is that now that lightweight metal band design 6 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:29,119 folds bippity boop just like that. That is about it. But other than that, same 7 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:34,640 materials, same drivers, same everything. The Momentum Onyear 2.0 8 00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:39,680 actually has a couple of more changes. So, this one does fold, 9 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:44,160 but also gets an upgrade to the ear cup material as well as the ear cup size. 10 00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:48,800 So, folks who were complaining that with the old Momentum over ear, they felt 11 00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:52,879 more like an onar cuz it pressed down against their earlobes, that shouldn't 12 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:56,800 be nearly as much of an issue anymore. Now, both of these haven't changed in 13 00:00:54,559 --> 00:01:02,160 terms of pricing. So, it's $2.29 for the onar and $3.49 for the overear. But 14 00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:06,560 where they really shook things up is right here. Now, this looks just like a 15 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:09,280 regular Urbanite XL. In fact, if I were to tell you that it was one, you 16 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:13,760 probably wouldn't know any differently because the Urbanite XL has a detachable 17 00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:18,080 cable. And in fact, this one does, too. But now, it's wireless. So, for another 18 00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:21,600 50 bucks over the regular Urbanite XL, you get wireless functionality. It's 19 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:25,600 Bluetooth. I actually don't have a quoted battery life for this one, but 20 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:29,200 this one does about 15 hours battery life. So, you're going to get that same 21 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:33,600 ruggedness and durability, that same foldability and travel ability, that 22 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:38,479 same sound signature, however it is that you personally feel about that now with 23 00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:44,159 wireless Bluetooth 4.0, all that good stuff. And that one's $300. And then, 24 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:48,399 wow, I just dropped a $500 pair of headphones in front of Sennheiser, and 25 00:01:46,399 --> 00:01:54,079 I'm getting the nervous laughter over there. Wow. Oh, so this is the Momentum 26 00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:58,960 Overear wireless. I just mentioned the price. They're $500. They haven't 27 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:02,479 changed the acoustic quality compared to the Momentum Overears. Extremely well 28 00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:06,000 regarded. But what they have done is they've given it the Momentum 2.0 29 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:11,840 treatment. So, you've got those nice thick nice larger ear cushions on it. It 30 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:17,120 does still fold just like that. It charges via micro USB. But this one, and 31 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:21,040 aside from just plain sounding better than the Urbanite XL, no offense if you 32 00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:25,040 really like your Urbanite XL, has some really cool technology inside. So you 33 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:29,920 get 22 hours of playback or two weeks of standby. And you get five microphones. 34 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:35,120 It's like, yeah, you're buying two speakers and five microphones. So one of 35 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:39,599 them is for voice. Yes, you can hold a conversation with them. Four of them are 36 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:42,480 for noise cancellation. So active noise cancellation on this bad boy. We tried 37 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:47,040 it out here on the show floor. actually the only audio thing that makes any 38 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:50,959 sense to try on a show floor. Pretty impressive so far. Compared to the 39 00:02:48,959 --> 00:02:53,360 QC15s, which are the only other really well- reggarded active noise 40 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:57,599 cancellation headphone that I've personally tried, I get less of that 41 00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:00,400 feeling of pressure on my ears, but I'd need to spend quite a bit more time with 42 00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:03,920 them to really give you guys my thoughts. Um, I forget where I was 43 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:09,280 really going with that. Right. So, active noise cancellation. This is something I haven't really seen much of 44 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:13,360 from Sennheiser in the past. controls are over here on the back of the right 45 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:17,440 ear cup. So, you've got your power as well as volume a volume up and down 46 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:22,560 slider that you press in order to play or pause. And then finally, there's your 47 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:26,400 micro USB as well as you can still wire them up should you so desire. But if 48 00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:29,680 you're going to go and pay $500 for ball and wireless headphones, you're probably 49 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:34,480 going to use them wirelessly mostly, unless your battery runs out of course. 50 00:03:32,239 --> 00:03:38,560 So, that is pretty much it for the Momentum and Urbanite updates, guys. 51 00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:42,879 Hope you enjoy all of our show coverage. I want to take a little bit of time to 52 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:47,120 thank our sponsors. So, these guys, you know, the guys that let me take my phone 53 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:50,720 and like do this with it and like rub it all over everything and not care even 54 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:53,840 though it's an iPhone 6. Yeah, that corner right there. I'm getting a I'm 55 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,920 getting a look from these guys over here. They're like, "What is he doing?" This is my Phantom Glass screen 56 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:02,480 protector. These guys make awesome screen protectors. They're made of Gorilla Glass 3, so they're perfectly 57 00:04:00,959 --> 00:04:06,080 clear. You can't tell the difference when you touch them. They go on without 58 00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:10,000 any bubbles whatsoever thanks to their nano coating and they're just plain 59 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:13,360 awesome.
