Design and features:Although this portable ear-insert model lacks active noise reduction, the earplug-like design helps to reduce both outside noise and sound leaking out into your environment. The earphones have high sensitivity, so they can provide satisfying volume levels even when used with lower-powered portable audio devices. The Momentum In-Ear has an inline volume control that works with iPads and some iPod and iPhone models, plus an integrated microphone and player function controls that are compatible with iPads, some iPods, and some iPhones and some other cell phones. The call connect/disconnect button can be used with some iPhones and some other cellphones. These earphones may not operate properly with some non-Apple/non-Android mobile devices or other audio equipment. This model comes with four pairs of earpieces in various sizes, and a carrying case.
Sound quality: The Momentum In-Ear delivers very good overall sound, with a warmish character. Bass has good impact and goes deep; while the upper bass has good definition it is slightly prominent, and the lower bass is prominent and slightly boomy. Midrange is fairly even, but grainy, and treble is extended but slightly prominent and sizzly. The overall sound is somewhat closed-in, with decent dynamics.
Comfort: We found that these earphones fit and stay in place with no problems, but they can produce a sense of pressure in the ear opening that might be uncomfortable for some.
