FOR Excellent dynamics; powerful, musical performance
AGAINST Call quality could be better; harsh at the top end
It’s hard to believe that Sennheiser’s Momentum range of stylish, street-savvy headphones has been around for barely five years. In that short space of time, we’ve seen (and heard) it all, including on- and over-ears, in-ears, not forgetting wireless and noise-cancelling models too.
In fact, the Momentum range already boasts a pair of five-star, Bluetooth in-ears – the Momentum In-ear Wireless. So does it really need another pair? The Momentum Frees (also known as the Sennheiser M2 IE Free) offer similar features and functionality to their siblings, the two key differences being the styling and battery life.
The Frees have an unfussy, simple design, with a single short length of cable running between the earpieces. You can adjust the length via the attached slider and choose to run the cable either behind your neck or under your chin. The Frees are more flexible and easier to roll up and stow away in a pocket or bag than the In-Ear Wirelesses, with their chunkier neckband design that sits on the back of your neck.
