I loved the Sennheiser Momentums. Bought and returned twice as I couldn't get my ears to fit inside the cans. Loved the sound though.
Is that the Asgard 2? I'm still enjoying my Asgard 1. Do you think it's worth upgrading? My headphones are Beyer Dynamic DT770 Pro's (250 ohm), and Denon D2000's. Source is ether any Cambridge Audio Azur 550C CD Player, or my Schiit Audio Modi DAC via my Mac Mini.

Get the M100s [ V-Moda ] you will NOT regret it!
Very comfortable, great bass [ but not overdone like Beats ] and overall very good SQ...lows, mids, and highs! Best closed cans I've ever used
Optional: Pair it with a cheap FiiO Amp [ e11 ] and you can't beat the value!.. or step up to the e17 [ DAC + Amp ] for an even better SQ
I'm by no means an 'audiophile', but I was searching for a pair of wireless headphones a few months ago, and lo and behold not a week later I won a pair of these Sony ones.
Sound quality probably isn't the best, but to me they're great which all that matters I suppose! My only real criticism is that they're a bit plasticy, but the battery life is great, they're really comfy, work with Siri and they were free!

Just picked up a pair of Sennheiser MM500-X to add to my collection. Fantastic sounding for bluetooth ESPECIALLY when paired with my 2013 MBA with apt-x enabled. Truly astonishing sound for wireless. Hard to discern the difference between the wired and wireless connection and VERY light with no wear-fatigue whatsoever (I've had them on all day and hardly notice them on my ears at all). exceptional battery life as well (over 10 hours so far). To my ears, these are the best bluetooth headphones I've yet heard and I've tried and demoed about all of them (Parrot, UE9000, HK's, Sony's, Bose). Got a pretty good deal on Amazon at $232.00. I decided against the MM550-X as I have no use for ANC for how I will be using these...also, the MM500-X are closed-back over-the-ear anyway and do a pretty good job of passive NC. Sennheiser got it right with these cans. Truly outstanding sound with apt-x (not too shabby even with SBC if the source file is of a decent bit-rate).
Nice to have the option of using them wired as well.

VERY tempted by those...nearly bought them yesterday but I needed/wanted a pair of over-the-ear BT's that I won't be using with any of my portable devices (mostly my MBA and my Sony TV) so no need for the ANC. Also, the iOS/Android "app" for tweaking sound and turning ANC on/off was not something that interested me for my needs for this new BT purchase...great sound and fantastic design though...congrats!

LOVE my P5's as well...I was tempted to pick up the P7's but I eventually opted for the best sounding bluetooth/apt-x pair I heard in my several months of testing, the Sennheiser MM500-X...couldn't be happier although I WILL get me a pair of the P7's next

Or even the F6 ($25.00 on Amazon). REALLY small but a decent little device for the money for a phone.
I'm a big fan of the entire B&W range, so, obviously, I will strongly recommend the P7s. They are an excellent and beautifully balanced headphone; exceptionally well-made, too, and exceedingly comfortable.

Glad to see someone else is a fan of the P5s; and the P7s are superb, as well, as I can attest.
Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy your Sennheisers, and let us know how you find them when you have broken them in.
Thanks, and will do...I just hope I can hold off buying the P7's as the last thing I really need is yet ANOTHER pair of $400+ headphones
(I'll get them at some point soon if I know me) LOL
I found the MM500-X on B&H Phote for $211.00, called amazon and got a credit for the difference...sweet!

Let me share a quick story about Sennheiser Customer Service. I had purchased my Mom (whose hearing isn't that great anymore) a pair of Sennheiser HD428's about 3 years ago for her tv watching as she was having some problems hearing out of the rather smallish speakers on her Vizio tv in her bedroom. The HD428's retailed at the time for about $100.00. They have a long thin cord that worked well for her (light and easy to maneuver) and she loved the headphones as they are very light and comfortable (she could wear them for hours without ear fatigue) and sounded really good for her tv sound.
A few weeks ago she told me that the sound was only coming out of one ear. I took a look and sure enough the wire connection near the left ear pad was shorting (they are single wire phones). I called Sennheiser CS and even though the headphones are well out of warranty, they are sending a replacement pair to her for free without me even sending the old ones back. Now THAT is standing behind your product and outstanding CS. Congratulations to Sennheiser for going above and beyond the standard CS effort I unfortunately so often experience today, especially when a product is out of warranty. It is no wonder this company has stellar the reputation it has...Great products and outstanding customer service...well earned!

How are you liking them so far. Thinking of picking up the blue/tan ones for general music listening.
