Headset Sennheiser M2 IEG Black Chrome

In 2012, the Sennheiser Momentum line made a small revolution in the mainstream headphone market. Armed with 70 years of experience in professional audio, the German designers have meticulously studied what the successful representatives of today's generation expect from headphones. And they collected in one box a stylish elegant appearance, expensive materials, vaunted burgher reliability and high-quality (without concessions) sound, which won Momentum headphones a place in the hearts and on the shelves of music connoisseurs - right next to professional entry-level models.

The success of the Momentum series set the competition moving and eventually pushed the headphone mass market in the direction of audiophile - living up to its name (momentum). But the story doesn't end there. Having collected the best features for which music lovers fell in love with the "senior" Momentum, Sennheiser is ready for another breakthrough - to embody the values and advantages of the line in the most compact format, to the delight of lovers of in-ear headphones.

Sennheiser Momentum IE (In-Ear) are miniature dynamic headphones with a housing designed to fit directly into the ear canal. Blocking the ear canal, they form a closed acoustic "chamber", in which a high-quality, full-bodied and adult sound is recreated. The youngest representative of the Momentum family is designed for successful energetic people who go their own way to success, value independence and freedom, as well as the opportunity to enjoy music in any conditions - at home, in the office, on a walk and in transport. Every time - with maximum quality, style and comfort.

In-Ear follows the urban and distinctive design tradition that inspired the original Momentum. It is hard to tear yourself away from admiring the play of light on the elegantly curved chrome-plated body - strict black or royal "bordeaux" (in the Black model). The “holographic” Sennheiser logo, which has become a kind of hallmark of the noble Momentum family, is also in place – in this case it adorns the back wall. At first glance, the headphones leave the impression of an expensive, premium thing. And this impression only grows stronger as you get to know them.

The quality of materials and workmanship has always been at the forefront of the Momentum concept. Like its full-size counterparts, you won't find cheap plastic in the In-Ear. The main chamber, which houses the speaker, is made of durable metallized thermoplastic and additionally protected by an impact-resistant polycarbonate shell. And the resonator tube, on which the ear pads cling - the most wear-prone part of the headphones - is machined from stainless steel. In addition, it goes at an angle of 15° to the main body - repeating the anatomical shape of the auditory canal. Together with a minimum weight (only 16g!) And a tactilely pleasant surface, this guarantees a comfortable and secure fit - In-Ear simply "dissolve" in the ear.

The in-ear form factor and the presence of four sizes of nozzles in the kit give these kids every chance to get around the older Momentums in terms of noise isolation. With the right fit, they will completely isolate the listener even from the noise of the subway. The 1.3m headset cable is elliptical to reduce tangles. At the exit from the headphone case, it is supported by a special loop and does not fall vertically down, like in most in-ear models, but at an angle. This is done so that the wire does not touch the skin of the face, causing inconvenience. The angled 3.5mm jack is as tiny as possible - especially for compatibility with mobile devices in cases. Like the full-sized Momentums, the In Ear headset comes with a multi-function remote with an all-round microphone. With the help of three buttons, you can not only receive calls and change the volume, but also switch / rewind tracks, pause.

It is worth noting that different revisions of headphones are intended for Apple and Android devices - pay attention to compatibility when buying.

A practical carrying case is also not as simple as it seems at first glance. Inside it are recesses in the shape and size of the cases, the headset remote control and the plug, as well as special compartments for the cable and spare nozzles. Each part of the earphones is quickly and securely fixed in place - you can safely tuck the In Ear case into your jeans pocket or a tightly stuffed bag.

The developers faced a difficult task - to squeeze into an extremely limited space a filling capable of conveying the full range of qualities of the “signature sound” of the Momentum line.

• Powerful, punchy bass
• Crystal clear and legible
• Wide, holographic stereo panorama

It is this older Momentum remembered and loved by music lovers. Responding to the challenge, the laboratories of the German company created a unique dynamic 18-ohm microdriver, which became the “heart” of the Momentum In-Ear. Expensive materials and elegant body curves are also chosen not only for their beauty and durability, but also for their effect on sonic quality. After all, the chamber, in which the speaker is located and the sound is born, acts as a resonator - its shape and structure determines the "proprietary" presentation of In-Ear.

Their low frequencies are reminiscent of the professional Sennheiser IE series of in-ear headphones, in which the bass is noticeably boosted to compensate for the small size of the driver (the smaller the driver diameter, the more difficult it is to achieve deep and powerful bass). Thanks to this, every drum beat in Momentum In-Ear feels exactly like a blow, and not a pitiful pop. At the same time, the lows retain their articulation and do not “crawl” onto other frequencies, do not drown out neighboring instruments. On the contrary, well-developed mids, and especially crystal high ones, give the sound such intelligibility and detail that there is a great chance to discover new sides and nuances in the compositions heard “to the holes”.

Objectively evaluating the dimensions of these headphones, it is hard to believe how such a large-scale virtual stage “fits” in them - almost a record among in-ear headphones. By sound, the imagination easily draws the volume of each instrument and accurately positions it relative to others.

The In-Ear's belonging to the Momentum family is also clearly indicated by the "fervent" manner of presentation inherent in older models. They perfectly convey the rhythm and energy of pop, electronica and similar genres - and thanks to this, they will organically intertwine with the busy life of active and active young people who are "recharged" by music with drive and positive.
