Hi! I'm hoping to get a pair of headphones for a female friend of mine as a birthday present. Her usage is mostly music and videos; pop, classic, jazz, drama and movies. She really likes music and always gets the lossless version, so i thought i should get her a set of headphones that can do them justice smile.gif.

I'm hoping to get her something that looks good and have some noise cancelling/dampening abilities. So i'll be going for closed headphones. I was recently looking at the first gen. Sennheiser Momentum Wired, any thoughts?

Rig : Computer 80%, Phone 20%
Usage : Mostly music, some movies
Headphone : Closed (i heard NC would be more expensive, would appreciate alternatives biggrin.gif )
Budget : 1k below (cheaper is of course better tongue.gif)
Current gear : XiaoMi Piston earphones

Apologies if i mis-used any terms notworthy.gif , I'm new to this and am hoping for some advice. Thank you in advance guys!

Haha, i don't think i'm the best person to ask. I only used it a bit (its hers) but i think its quite ok.

Expected, as there's now clearance for old momentum on-ear/over-ear stocks due to the release of newer momentum models.  biggrin.gif  Nonetheless, if you wanted to compare the price locally, that's an exceptionally good price.  icon_rolleyes.gif

Then may i ask if Sennheiser Momentum Over-the-ear at rm750 is a good offer? tongue.gif Saw most places still selling around rm 950+

Short answer, yes  biggrin.gif
With RM350, rarely anything can beat it on that price. (Maybe the AKG K430/K450, but all comes down to preference tongue.gif)
That's market price tongue.gif (7xx-8xx)

Ahhh i see i see, thank you sifu! notworthy.gif

May i ask one more thing? I've heard a lot of good reviews for the momentum over-the-ear, may i ask your opinion on its performance at that price for flac music use (jazz,pop,classic etc)? Is it worth it?

I had one momentum over-ear myself and had used it for around 6 month, I would say it's kind of all rounder, everything was being thrown on it sounded good but not too outstanding on certain genre (EDM, Rock, Orchestral..etc) due to its neutral sound signature. IMO, it's pretty reasonable to get the momentum for the music you mentioned. I would find myself unsatisfied if I'm a basshead or a treblefreak.  biggrin.gif
