Having recently purchased Sennheiser's Momentum 3 Wireless, these are definitely waaay out of my league budget wise. I'd LOVE to actually get an opportunity to hear them though if it arises. Meanwhile, I will continue to be happy with the HD 6xx I purchased here before the name change. Drop mentions these cans having the "full warranty" when purchased here. Don't they come with the full warranty if purchased some where else like Amazon? Unless Amazon is not an authorized Sennheiser reseller, I don't see how they could market that as a selling point. Oh well...! Either way, these seem like a fascinating set of cans that I would love to spend a few hours auditioning!

Michael33rsSome people wondered if Drop was an authorized dealer, because only authorized dealer headphones come with a warranty. Amazon (or at least some sellers on Amazon) are authorized dealers too, and they’re also running the $400 off sale (and credit card promos), but Drop is offering an additional $300 store credit in rewards points. How do you like the Momentum 3? I only had about 2 minutes to listen to one, but I have the Momentum 2

EvshrugHello, Evshrug! My apologies for the late response! With everything going on these days, I am missing some of my community emails! In regard to your question, the Momentum 3 is a fascinating headphone. The more I listen to these cans, the better I like them! I am even liking them better than my HD 6xx. The bass is strong and not overpoweringly so, but the midrange is where the Momentum 3 takes over. It has indeed won me over! But there are issues, mostly with Momentum 3's bluetooth management. In other words, it stinks! Lol!! I use these cans with both an iPhone 11 Pro Max, and an iPad Pro (2018) and it is an absolute NIGHTMARE!! These cans are supposed to successfully pair with more than one bluetooth device, which they DO, but when using them with my iPhone, next thing I know, the audio stops and starts up on my iPad!! They definitely need an update of some kind in my opinion. Right now, my only solution is to only pair them with one device at a time, thereby defeating the purpose of multi-paring. But sound quality wise, these make up for the bluetooth hiccups! They really are a marvelous set of headphones for the money in my opinion! Cheers!
