Where should we start with Sennheiser? When it comes to Sennheiser, the first impression you may have is "good". Many of Sennheiser's personal audio products sound good; The second is "big". Sennheiser earphones use a relatively large unit, that is, 56mm. Of course, there are also wonderful manufacturers in the industry that use 70mm units, but the earphones made by Sennheiser's full ear design are larger than others' 70mm units! The appearance design of HD series large earphones is relatively traditional, and the impedance is usually high, which has certain requirements for the equipment thrust. Therefore, few people go out of the street wearing Senhai Searle big earphones. Therefore, Senhai Fans always want a earphone with high positioning, good sound quality and fashionable appearance.

40mm unit, sound pressure sensitivity of 110dB, impedance of 16 Ω, maximum input power of 200mW. In design, it fully absorbs the design elements of fashionable sports earphones co branded by the popular Adidas, and creates a MOMENTUM that conveys a retro, elegant and fashionable style with different ideas from the past.

MOMENTUM is really a good earphone, but sadly, it was released at the same time as IE800 and HD800 last year, and the dual flagship trend is too strong, The attention of MOMENTUM is much less than that of flagship. In addition, 40mm may be slightly larger for the street goers who pay more attention to fashion and convenience, and there are fewer optional colors. Therefore, a MOMENTUM with smaller size, more colors and more fashion is coming.

In the middle of this year, Sennheiser released the MOMENTUM On Ear music headset, which is equivalent to the Mini version of MOMENTUM. (It seems that many flagship mobile phones have also been popular with the mini version recently.) It was affectionately called "Little Steamed Bun" by the barbecuers.

Big Brother MOMENTUM "wooden steamed bread "Only brown and black are available, and they are all low-key colors. Momentum On Ear officially released seven colors at one go, including very dazzling pink and red, and also plain white. I finally chose blue, which looks less dazzling than pink and red, and less elegant than white. It looks a little low-key, a little light The artistic style of. In addition, the rich trench can consider buying 7 colors to see what can be summoned.

appearance. Momentum On Ear

It is difficult to choose between MOMENTUM and MOMENTUM On Ear. Portable and easy to push is the biggest feature of MOMENTUM On Ear.

In addition, I don't know whether everyone likes the appearance of Momentum On Ear, but I think this is the most exquisite earphone made by Sennheiser in the past two years at least. It is more exquisite and exquisite in many places, even better than many Japanese earphones famous for their delicacy.

The logo on the body of MOMENTUMOn Ear Music has a rainbow effect of laser light, reflecting different colors at different angles, which is very beautiful and dazzling, which is rare on Sennheiser earphones in the past.

The metal label of MOMENTUM brand on the headphone rack has a good polishing process. The leather outside the headgear is suede, which looks very textured. In my opinion, the language of the laser logo in the design is "fashion and dazzling", the language of the metal label is "modern and exquisite", and the design language of the head beam leather is "retro luxury". It is rare that these traditional, modern, retro and fashionable design elements are superimposed together without being abrupt.

Everyone seems to be able to find the details they like from this earphone. In addition, the colors with different emotional feelings are introduced. Sennheiser seems to be planning to catch all kinds of young people, such as the black cold man, the red sultry gentleman, the white little fresh, the blue artistic green, the pink Luoli sister.

I have to say that what Senhai "Design Lion" conveyed this time is very interesting to me. This blue MOMENTUM On Ear music movement presents a kind of quiet, deep and melancholy blue in the light, which has seduced me to stop what I am doing and listen to a song again many times. In addition, MOMENTUM On Ear is a headset that supports iOS mobile phone remote control, which is obviously a good choice for out of the street headphones.

Sennheiser has made a lot of efforts in the shape design of earphones and earplugs in the past two years, and does not follow the crowd. The design has its own characteristics. Whether these design style changes hit your heart or not, Sennheiser's changes should be appreciated. If the earphones of various brands are designed very similar, how boring is it to play with earphones? Just like today's large screen phones, the large screen and small frame make it difficult for each manufacturer to make too many differences in appearance. Roughly speaking, they are all one face. Opening the phone is also an Android interface with a very similar interface.

There are a lot of descriptions about the appearance. Some enthusiasts may sneer at this. They only focus on the voice, but the appearance is just the embellishment of the voice. But I am a typical member of the "Appearance Association". If a woman is virtuous, obedient and reasonable, but looks like Sister Feng, there may not be so many men who like her. I like beautiful women, I also like beautiful earphones.

Details Momentum On Ear

MomentumOn Ear's remote control supports Apple's mobile phone music playback and call control. After trying Android phones, it can also support playback control. If you have tried an Android phone, you can control playback, pause, up and down, but you cannot control the volume increase or decrease, depending on whether your Android phone's 3.5mm jack is a national standard interface or an international interface.

MomentumOn Ear Ledong's 3.5mm audio plug is very compact and delicate, and the Sennheiser logo on the top also reflects beautiful laser gloss. The wire material is moderate in hardness and thickness, but the material used seems to have limited strength. Pay attention to damage caused by stretching and folding.

The blue paint of the earphone cavity shell is mixed with silver powder, like pearl paint, which will shine. Blue is a deep color, but with silver embellishment, it will become more energetic and look more high-grade. The selection of materials for many details is very good, such as the black skin around the ear muff edge, which is artificial material with high strength, And the texture of the real object is also very delicate and beautiful.

MomentumOn Ear is half of the price of Momentum, the big brother, but some luxury materials are not saved. For example, the screws for fixing leather and metal frame at the head beam may be fixed with two screws if they are made by other manufacturers, while Sennheiser Homai has made four, and the four hexagonal socket screws have beautiful concentric wire drawing texture, It seems that the style is different.

Wear Momentum On Ear

Let's start with the materials that touch the skin. The materials inside the head beam of Momentum are different from those outside. The outer side is suede, while the inner wrapping material is called "Alcantara", which is a synthetic material with a texture much like suede. However, compared with leather, the biggest advantage is breathability. Many supercars use this material as steering wheel cover or interior trim.

Earmuffs are also made of Alcantara material, which is different from the velvet used by Sennheiser's high-end earphones in the past, Alcantara material is not as soft as velvet, but its durability is better than velvet, and it is more resistant to dirt. The most important thing is that it has the texture of leather and is very breathable. It can be worn longer, but this material will absorb sweat. The surface may be wet after listening for a long time in summer.

On wearing, because Momentum On Ear is a half ear design, the comfort is slightly inferior to Momentum's full ear design, because part of the earmuff is pressed on the ear, and the head beam will appear to have some clamping ears.

Another reason for ear clipping is that the head beam metal frame of the new earphone bends slightly. If you wear it for a long time, it should improve a lot. You can also force the metal frame to bend loosely by clamping the earphone on a larger object. Momentum On Ear itself is light, so the problem of ear clipping is not very big.

MomentumOn Ear music earphones can adjust the height of the head beam through the sliding components of the earphone shell, which can fine tune the tightness. The sound insulation effect is ordinary, not as excellent as the full ear design Momentum.

Parameters Momentum On Ear

MomentumOn Ear specifications and parameters:

Frequency response range: 16 - 22000 Hz Sound pressure level (SPL): 112 dB Impedance: 18 Ω

THD (total harmonic distortion):<0.5% (1 kHz, 100 dB SPL) Weight: 160g Line length 1.4m

MomentumOn Ear music headset has an impedance of 18 ohms, which is easy to push. It should be said that not all mobile phones and portable players can push it. However, you should note that its maximum input power is 200mW. The maximum output power of most mobile phones we use is usually only about 100mW under a load of 16-18 ohms. Therefore, Momentum On Ear is easy to push, but there are certain requirements for pushing. The volume of the following earphones was tested:

About 75% for iPhone 4s, 85% for Sony lt26II, 70% for Huawei mate, and 75% for Vivo X3.

In the test, portable players have also been tried. Usually, the output power of domestic portable players such as X3 and DX50 exceeds 300mW under 16 ohm load. It is more sufficient to drive Momentum On ear music. In addition to the higher sound quality of these lossless music players, the performance of sound quality and sense of music with Momentum On ear music is much better than that of mobile phones.

Before talking about the sound, check the frequency response curve. The 20~100Hz bass part is about+7dB high, and the bass part should be more prominent. The mid frequency part is slightly concave, but fortunately it is within - 3dB. The treble part is 3kHz - 10kHz part is up, and the density of the treble is guaranteed to some extent, and it begins to decay at 10Khz.

The total harmonic distortion (THD)% and dB value will affect the sound style. In the test chart, the total harmonic distortion and noise curve of the middle bass are also obviously convex and stable, while the middle and high pitch parts are more, between - 20Hz and - 120Hz. It should be said that the earphone bass will be more powerful and prominent, while the middle and high frequency sections are slightly downward

Sense of hearing Momentum On Ear

The output quality of the mobile phone is limited, and the output power is also low. First, use some recording devices with moderate output and few rendering to understand the real sound performance of Momentum On Ear. In fact, the playback style of each recording pen is still obviously different. The recording pens I choose are Olympus Ls100, Sony PCM-D1, Sony PCM-D100, and Sony PCM-D50.

From the perspective of individual voice style of the recorder, the above four machines are arranged in this style: the overall slightly warm sound of the Ls100, the neutral and high-density sound of the PCM-D1, the slightly warm sound of the PCMD100, and the slightly hard sound of the middle and high tones of the PCMD100, and the slightly cold and hard sound of the PCM-D50.

The sound of Momentum On Ear music sounds neutral, and the main factor affecting its cool and warm sound performance is the output sound style of the player you are connected to. Looking at the chart before, I think Momentum On Ear is bass, maybe warm earphones, but it is not.

The bass of Momentum On Ear is different from that of HD series earphones, such as HD598, which are rich and distant. The rich bass represents more overtones. The bass overtones of Momentum On Ear are less than those of HD598. The bass recovery speed is slightly faster, and it feels impactful and cohesive. Compared with MDR-1R at the same price, the bass of 1R is looser and more divergent, Momentum On Ear is more powerful and shorter. In terms of bass level, the expression of Momentum On Ear bass is more restrained than the familiar Beats' loud and unrestrained bass. The level sense and clarity of bass are obviously better.

The density of mid bass is enough, slightly concave. Because there is not much overtone in the bass, which has little impact on the midrange, the voice is full and relatively close to the ear, and the extension of the midrange and treble is not very bright. However, with SONY D100/50, which is a recording pen with a high density of midrange and treble, the brightness of the treble will also increase significantly, but it is not sharp and extreme, and the midrange and treble sounds appear a little thick, Unlike some female toxic earphones with clear and high pitched sopranos, Momentum On Ear has a thick, slightly dark, neutral sound.

The bass style of Momentum On Ear is not very big, at least not as big as HD598. The positioning and sense of hierarchy are good, and the sound combination of rich and balanced middle and high tones is good. The sound production performance of the unit of this earphone is still relatively potential and plastic. When it is paired with players with warm sound and more bass, such as Z1050 and DX50, the bass will have a significant increase in diving, overtone and elasticity, so the atmosphere will be much better, and it is very suitable for listening to pop, hiphop, rock, jazz, blues, rural, etc; If you like to listen to female voices and treble, you can choose players with optimized treble output and clean sound bottom, such as C4 and AK100. I believe that the sound will be more transparent and bright. The neutral style of Momentum On Ear is suitable for a wide range of listening.

Momentum On Ear, as a positioning portable headset, briefly:

The iPhone 4s works well with MomentumOn Ear, which basically gives play to the performance of the headset. The bass is powerful, and the mid and high tones are full; With Sony's Lt26, the amount of bass sounds less, and you need to increase the amount of bass in EQ; The voice of Vivo X3 is the best. It is cleaner and better layered than the first two. The bass push is more powerful and flexible, and the sound field is wider.

The sound of Momentum On Ear is different from that of Sennheiser HD5 * *~6 * *, which we are familiar with in the past. The sound of HD5 * *~6 * * is characterized by its powerful and stretching atmosphere, while the sound of Momentum On Ear is younger, stronger and faster, which seems to be created for the younger generation to appreciate pop music with faster rhythm and heavier bass.

This is a young, capable, powerful, fashionable and artistic earphone.

The last picture is to sell cute with Sony PCM-D1 with squinting eyes and big mouth.
THE END.
