When audiophilia gains momentum

MANILA, Philippines - Telling someone they have “perfect cans” isn’t exactly appropriate, unless you’re talking about their headphones. Audiophiles, in particular, would be more than flattered, which is why Sennheirser recently launched their Momentum On-Ear headphones. Created for those who don’t want to compromise sound or style, they come in four colors and feature a timeless design that’s also lightweight and portable. The ear cups and headband are made with Alcantara, a high-tech material produced in Italy, which is known for its comfort, durability, and breathable finish. The ear cups are attached to highly mobile ball joints running in sliders for an easy fit.

For those concerned with the sound technology behind it, the Momentum On-Ears feature high-end transducers that allow for clarity and detail with a slight bass emphasis, merging perfect acoustics with aesthetics. They also include a single-sided detachable cable with convenient in-line remote and microphone for Apple iDevices, for easy control of music playback and to make and receive calls on-the-go. More importantly, these headbangers are an answer to the eternal question: Will these make me look cool while crossing the street? They certainly could, but while appreciating their superior sound, just please make sure to look both ways before crossing. We have enough road accidents as it is.

The Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear is available in select retail stores at P11,290.
