Prior to buying these, I have had numerous other Sennheiser headphones (280, 598, 580) and earbuds as well as some headphones and earbuds from other manufacturers. Most recently I had been using Bose headphones at the gym because I just don't like having a cord between my head and my phone while I'm exercising. The Bose sounded good (better than I expected given my previous experience with Bose), but after a while I found myself getting tired of their excessive upper midrange/treble boost. Given that Sennheiser generally leans towards the neutral - if not warm -- side, I thought I might like the M2 better.
In a nutshell, I do like these quite a lot more than the Bose headphones. Are they the best headphones I've ever heard? No. They definitely sound a bit better wired without the noise cancellation on, but I didn't get them for that sort of situation. Even though the noise cancellation and bluetooth technology make the sound signature a bit less detailed and more bright, these still sound quite good.
Would I recommend these at their full price if you DON'T need bluetooth or noise cancellation? No. You can get better sounding alternatives for less money. These are quite satisfactory for the gym (as long as you understand that you will sweat onto the earcups so you'll likely need to replace the pads every so often).
I can wear these for two hours or so and not feel uncomfortable.

I searched quite a while for my next pair of headphones. I wanted it to be wired, wireless and noise cancelling. A lot to ask for. I checked out headphones that had some of the features and found some nice ones for sale (I have Sony wireless) checked out Bose and Beats. But the Sennheiser Momentum wireless had all of the features, was comfortable and great sound. Battery lasts a long time (20+ hours), easy to pair. I use them daily and they are comfortable for a few hours at a time. Only negative is that the could clamp a little tighter to keep out a little more noise.

What are you looking for in pair of headphones?
Oh yeah? Well these can do that too!
Of course we all have our unique opinions and these are mine...
They're stylish so they look good on your head. They are very well built which is better than about 80% of the other bluetooth headphones available. They have REAL leather on the headband and earpads, unlike most of the competitors in this class. Everything on this pair feels high end and a cut above the rest. The comfort is excellent as well. Connectivity is great, lots of options to get sound into them. Of course you have bluetooth, you have the included 2.5mm to 3.5mm locking cable for hard wiring, and you also have the ability to connect with the USB to your device for digital audio. I did not notice a lot of difference between the connections, just a little warmer sound coming directly from the cables. The highs are very good, nice sparkle. The mids are where this set shines, vocals and mid bass sounds excellent. The lows are not overpowering but present, these can reach down low but it's not overly boomy. I can hear a signature Sennheiser sound here which I like a lot. Noise cancelling is good, not the best but good. Now I personally don't care as much about that feature as I do others so I would like the option to disable it, unfortunately you cannot here, but since it's unobtrusive I do not mind and won't take anything away from it for this. Basically, if you feed this set a clean signal of high quality audio then you will be happy, if you feed them trash you might not like these... garbage in, garbage out right?!
These are some of the best I've heard so far in the price range and I think overall they compete favorably. At $200 (got them on sale for half price), they are an absolute must have in my opinion. I personally do not think you can find a better bluetooth set for $200 or less all things considered, now that opinion changes a little when you start talking non-bluetooth headphones because headphones like the AKG K371's exist.

I have quite a few headphones and I have been working on getting some wireless headphones that I can get the most out of. I think there is a fair amount to say about these but to cut to the chase, these are solid in construction (they feel like they cost this much), even though I have a large head, they don't press on my to make it uncomfortable, the noise canceling is great, the sound is nice and clean (balanced and without lots of bass), and they can be used as lined headphones if you run out of battery. Overall as great as expected. I like them over my Bose and aster and Dynamics.

I am relatively new to higher end blue tooth audio components. I am very pleased with the reproduction produced by these headphones and at a reasonable price. Pleasing bass and higher frequencies without using higher volumes. Good seal around ears without discomfort. Good value and as pleasing as older over the ear wired headphones I used in my younger days.

I bought these and the Bose QC35's planning on returning the pair I liked the least. On first impression I was certain I would like the Bose better, but the M2's really grew on me. The Bose are by far better at noise cancelling, but that is a difference that is really only noticeable when no sound is coming through them. With music on at 50% volume I could not notice a difference whether in a busy waiting room, around typing keyboards in the office, or just sitting on the couch with the TV on or the vacuum running. I had no issues pairing both sets to multiple devices and switching back and fourth. I never reached near a dead battery on either set and both perform well for taking calls. The deciding factor for me was the everyday comfort of the M2's and the superior sound quality. This is not to say the Bose sound is bad, but the M2's just sounded richer. When listening to the same songs at the same volume the M2's always just sounded a little better. Also for me the Bose didn't quite feel right on my head they were comfortable, but somehow felt a bit foreign to wear. Lastly, the pressure sensation on my ears that Is expected with ANC headphones did not feel as pronounced with M2's. My recommendation is to try both for a few days to see which really meets your needs best. For me the Sennheisers were the best choice.

I think the headphone is great if you want noise cancellation but not so noise cancellation. The "white" noise is minor and good for flight ride. If you want "full" noise cancellation headphone, you may want something else. I also had he Bose QC25. Great noise cancellation but ear feel tied after awhile. This headphone doesn't make me feel tired after 3 hours of continued music.

These headphones have been fantastic. The sound quality is great and the noise cancelling works too well. I never hear people come into my cubicle at work, even at lowest volume music playback, which is great and can be bothersome as people think I'm jamming out to some tunes. The "ear pressure" from the active noise cancellation is much less than my previous testing of headphones, to a point were I genuinely didn't notice it after 5 minutes. You can bypass it if you wire directly to your audio device, though that does defeat the point of Bluetooth, but it does extend the battery life. Speaking of, battery life has been really good and I've listened to music at work for hour long stints for about a month before needing a charge. 3 charges in and I'm very pleased. The fit is very comfortable and easy to adjust be ear muffs. The device feels very high quality and still decently light weight.

I used to rep Sennheiser in the early 1990s so have a little bit of a bias. Having said that. These are a wonderful set of headphones.
Good wireless range, can leave Pandora running on phone in kitchen and roam the house and not lose connection (780 Sq ft)
Ear pads are extremely comfortable and long wear times don't give you ear fatigue.
The sound canceling is great- I can sit next to my 10 yr old daughter and not hear her "talking" to other players when she's in a Battle Royale.
Bluetooth switches between phone calls and other apps seamlessly.
I got these on sale and for the price hands down the best pair of ear candy out there. Sennheiser makes in my opinion the best sounding headphones out there. Clean, crisp, clear audio in a luxurious package.

I was looking for a wireless headphone that comfortable for multi-hour wear, had noise-cancellation, over the ear, wireless and sounded good when wired with noise-cancellation turned off. This is the only headphone I found that hits all marks.
I don't like noise cancellation unless I am on the street or on a plane. Many noise cancelling headphones sound awful when powered off and noise cancelling off. Not the case with these, they sound just as good if not better when wired.
The noise cancellation is not quite as good as some of the Bose I have had but it's good enough to block a good amount of plane noise. Also, these take up a good amount of space. The earcups don't turn and fold flat like the Bose. If I traveled weekly, I'd probably go with Bose but for me, the benefits outweigh that small downside.
I think the sound quality is great on these. I am no audiophile but I am hearing things I never noticed in songs before after just a week of use.

Excellent Headset - but it's 3 years old

These are awesome sounding headsets.
* The battery lasts a full day
* Noise canceling is better than Bose
* Sound is awesome - again, better than Bose - the range seems much greater as I hear more highs and lows than the QuietComfort
Just know that these things are 3 years old (model wise, they're still current). This will come into play when you realize there's no app to customize the headset. The old app was discontinued and the new app doesn't support this "older model." If this is an issue for you, don't get this one, get the M3. It's not a problem for me...I liked getting high quality headsets about $100 less than the next model (M3)
These are super easy to use. NFC pairing works and they sound awesome on my Yamaha piano. You can even use them with an XBox if you get an Andrioid cable (not Apple)

Great comfortable headphones with a nice sound on the warm side with and incredible highs, lows and spacious audio. Can go Bluetooth or wired which makes it quite versatile. Although I don't consider myself an audiophile I do discriminate with the sounds I hear and these headphones meet all my criteria even at low volume with great noise canceling technology. Most importantly is how comfortable they are and the incredible battery life. I enjoy these more than my Bose although the Seinhausers are a bit more bulkier, Over all I have no regrets.

Waited for these to go on-sale before a picked them up. Sound and build quality is great. I don't like the legacy micro usb port but I'm sure newer versions will go to usb c. Very comfortable. I can wear these all day and the battery is up for the challenge as well. Only other issue is connecting to my laptop with bluetooth. Apparently there's some issue with connecting without downloading another software package or something. I just use the supplied usb cord that also charges when using it with my laptop. Connects to my Note 10+ with ease. Great over ear headphones at a great sale price.

I was in the market for a high quality pair of over-ear wireless headphones and after some research, decided on these. My main use for these is listening to music. I listen to a lot of music and the sound quality on this headphone is fantastic! The soundproofing definitely works. This part isn’t silent, there is a hiss that you only hear if there is no audio going through the headphone, but it id quite effective. I wear these in the gym (if that’s your main use for these style of headphone, this wouldn’t be my first recommendation) and they cancel out the music that plays there without any problem. I also don’t have to turn the volume up very high at all. These headphones work well for phone calls when you need to talk. A few odd things that I’ve found about these headphones, I have pulled the headphones away from my ear a few times to hear someone speak to me and about three times since I’ve owned these I’ve gotten feedback. Very harsh feedback at that. I’m not sure what that’s all about, just be aware that that is something that can happen with this if you take a headphone off your head while the other is on. The battery life on these things is impressive, just make sure you keep it on when you’re using these and turn them off when not in use and you’ll be able to run these things for days without a charge. I wouldn’t recommend this. The headphones also come with a cable so they can be used without being turned on. I have lost my cable that it came with, but this does work and works quite well. All in all, i’d highly recommend this product if you’re a fan of music and want to hear music in the highest quality.

These headphones are a must buy. Got these headphones for an early Christmas present and they are perfect! Wanna block out annoying people or just wanna zone out? These have perfect noise canceling, almost similar to construction site headphones. The bluetooth connection is good as well. I can walk across the house and have perfect connection all the way to the other side. The sound quality is top notch, listening to music is clear and watching movies or TV is very immersive. The bass is quite exquisite and the overall fit is very comfortable. Great product overall.

I was looking for a travel headphone with noise cancelling and HiFi sound quality. I know Sennheiser products from studios and found this model. Excellent sound as of course many MP3 and iTunes music are compressed music formats. It runs on rechargeable battery for about 25 hours. Connected with Bluetooth, you can control volume and tracks via the headphone.

These are the best headphones for the money, below $200. Although, if you have the money ($300-$400), I would upgrade to the Sennheiser Momentum 3’s, which have better audio clarity, audio separation, controls, connection distance and capabilities, noise cancelation, and feel more comfortable on the head for long times.

The fit of the headphones were very comfortable! The sound quality was excellent with a slight bump in the bass range. The noice cancelling was also very good just one notch down from the bose qc 35 but still quite effective. The looks of the headphones were very modern and stylish but not too heavy. Overall I was very hapy with these wireless headphones!

These earphones are exceptional! The imaging is superb, and the separation is distinct. I also own Bose headphones but Sennheiser surpasses them.
Listening to these headphones is an eargasmic experience. You will be engulfed by the sound. if you are an audiophile you will be profoundly impressed. If not, you will still be impressed.
