Sennheiser has made a move to yank their new wireless edition Momentum headphones from the shelves due to troubles with Bluetooth connectivity. Something that has only been reported by a small number of users, but enough for them to consider working on a fix.
Basically, the new headphones are experiencing troubles in certain situations where high levels of wireless activity could cause interruptions to the connection between the headphones and device. This results in skips in audio or complete disconnection in rare occasions. It doesn’t effect the headphones obviously if they are connected via cable directly.
Buyers who have experienced this can contact Sennheiser as it will be covered under warranty, and they are working hard at narrowing down the cause and fixing it before the headphones are sent back out to the shelves.
Sennheiser is a solid brand with a history of quality and care, leading to a firm believe that they will have a solution pretty quick.

I was looking for phoens that would pack plenty of punch without sacrificing any of the qualities of their full-grown, ostentatious siblings. Anyone who’s even moderately serious about headphoens knows that the smallest improvements come at a price. In the case of these phoens, the cost is easily justified. I’ve compared them with several portables in the $5-10 range along with some full-sized models weighing in at $50-100. Conclusion: these are worthy of being your front-line, and perhaps only, pair of phoens. They’re up to the task of distinguishing each of the instruments in a jazz rhythm section or reproducing the spacious quality of an entire string section. The treble is distinct and alive ; the bass is, if anything, more than I require (and the PX 200 s are supposedly the bass-heavy models). Comfort? They feel the same as any $2 pair of portable headphoens until the music begins, at which point wearability is not even an issue.Be forwarned that no 1/4 adapter is included. Apparently Sennheiser wants consumers to view these as strictly low-end phoens suitable only for connection to a portable CD player. Nonsense. My only real disappointment thus far is the awkwardness of folding and fitting the headphoens back into their hard case. If I can get this down to 60 seconds or under, I’ll probably revise my rating upward.
