I purchased these used from Amazon's Warehouse Deals, and I have really been happy with my purchase. I wasn't "blown away" like I was the first time I moved from my "run-of-mill headphones and ear buds for the masses" to my first set of Shure in-ear monitors. But so far, these sound noticeably better than any of my premium in-ear headphones--even my Shure SE420s that I had re-packaged in shells custom-molded for my ears. As I had hoped, the bass on these were better defined than with my Shures, and the bass and high-end weren't over-the-top as with my UE9000s in wireless mode. I was pleasantly surprised, however, that even the mids and high end sounded better to me with these Momentum 2.0 Wireless than with my custom-molded in-eat monitors... There is better clarity and separation, and the treble is just bright enough to be enjoyable for me.
I realize that my hearing (frequency) range is a lot narrower now than when I first got my Shures, so my preference for these new Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless over my other headphones may be because my old ears can no longer pick up the full range of sound offered by my in ear monitors. I'm just very happy with the sound quality from these Sennheisers. I've used them on a pair of flights from the US to Asia, and in the 20-hour-plus time I spent on the two planes on the trip over, these worked well to cut down on the plane's noise enough to let me enjoy the detail of my music. They were comfortable even after 20 hours of almost continuous use. And the battery lasted for the entire trip with Bluetooth on! Incredible!!!
Prior to purchasing these, I tried a pair of Sony SDR-A1BT as well as some of Sony's cheaper Bluetooth headphones, and I was not impressed with the Sony's. The Sony's just do not have enough separation and clarity for me: instruments come through more "muddled" together compared to my in ear monitors. Plus the touch and swipe controls on the high-end Sony Bluetooth headphones was inaccurate and very finicky-- could tell after a minute of use I would not like them.
The styling of these Sennheisers is very nice... That's genuine leather on the padding you see in Amazon's photos of these. They really are very light and comfortable even with my eyeglasses on.
I've read of other users online complaint of the Sennheiser Momentums dropping Bluetooth connectivity, but I haven't experienced any connectivity issues. On the contrary, Bluetooth connected very quickly when turned on, and I'm able to is ten to my music from my iPhone 6 un-interrupted even when I leave my phone on my nightstand and walk from room to room in my house. I wonder if the connectivity complaints were related to the previous generation Momentums or perhaps the other users' phones or environment.
The controls are very well placed, very responsive, and rather intuitive having used other Bluetooth headphones before.
The noise cancellation is good, but they do not match Bose's noise cancellation. They are good enough, however, that I was able to enjoy my music on my recent flights from the east coast US to Southeast Asia. The airplane's engine noise came through, but much of the loudest low-frequency hum was cut back to a reasonable level. It's just enough for me to still enjoy the detail in my music.
I am enjoying my music more because of these headphones.
The only con with these headphones is the price... They're pricey enough that I was willing to wait for a good deal for a used set from Amazon's warehouse deals instead of paying full retail price for them new. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase.

All around, a great combo of build quality, looks, comfort, wireless convenience and sound.
Been a fan of Sennheiser for a decade plus I decided to upgrade my work and home Senns. At home I opted to head to the 650s and get the Schiit Stack (Magni 2 Uber / Modi 2 Uber) which I will review separately, while at work I wanted to try a wireless Sennheiser for the first time.The first attempt was the Urbanite XL, I returned this as it was too uncomfortable and I didn't care for the odd touch control mechanism or the muddy/bassy sound. Upon their return I decided to spring for the Momentum 2 wireless model. I got these before the 650s so it was my first step up to a higher quality 'rung' from the 598s. The packing and fit and finish are quite attractive. I have the Ivory 598s and love the color so opted for those in the Momentum 2s with its silver and brown leather topping it off.I haven't had noise cancelling phones before, nor closed back for that matter, so the soundstage was very different. It is very enveloping using them at work, I had to adjust my seating so I could use my peripheral vision as people would keep sidling up to me because I couldn't hear their approach! Laugh.The headphones are physically quite comfortable now having been in use for a few months, though they do not cover my ears completely like the 598s or 650s the leather cups are very soft and supple and don't fatigue me. They fold up nicely for their trips to and from work. The controls are much preferred to the Urbanite's button-less slider. Much easier to control volume and pause, fwd, etc. I've had no problem with Bluetooth connectivity (audio drop outs etc.) from my Lumia 950XL nor my tower when I use the Avantree Leaf BT Adapter.Finally, the sound is rich and smooth, laugh. Though not backless with an airy soundstage like the 650s, I do find it imminently listenable and it does have more of a bass presence. They're 'different', but both sound excellent.All around, a great combo of build quality, looks, comfort, wireless convenience and sound.
