The Sennheiser Momentum Wireless is quite an understated pair of headphones. It blends subtle tones together with a metallic frame that is in stark contrast with some of the usual black, red and blue gamer gear we review here at KitGuru. I cannot say I am a huge fan of this off-white colour scheme, but these headphones are also available in brown and black.
It has a strong, flexible construction to the frame, with a quality feel to the materials and build. There is not a single sharp edge to be found on these headphones.
Up close, the exterior of the ear cups are a beige colour with a greenish tinge. The paint job is pearlescent so has that slightly sparkly look to it, while the earcup material is a dark brown leather, with black stitching.
The ear cups have a bit of give on their housing, so should fit nicely over your ears. Sennheiser has also increased their size over the previous generation Momentum headphones – to make them more comfortable.
Controls for the headset, including volume, power and Bluetooth pairing are all found alongside the right ear cup, along with a micro-USB connector for charging the internal battery.
The whole headset can fold in on itself which makes transporting it easier. It also gives us a great look at the interior of the earcups, which are a rich, light-brown.
The headband is made of stainless steel and provides a lot of elongation for those with larger heads. It also has plenty of flexibility and does not creak as you move your head around, as some plastic frames do. That should make these headphones excellent for virtual reality gaming.
The inside of the headband has very fine, light-brown stitching and hex-head screws holding the whole construction together. There are also small indicators to let you know which earcup is left and which is right.
The headband proper has a gap along its length to allow air to circulate and prevent overheating.
