Welcome to Headphone Heights, the place for all your ear bud discussion

I have the Sennheiser Momentum original model....

and I like you like them. You didn't say which model of Momentum you have, the one I have has smaller earcups which I find annoying but I love the sound so much that I overlook that issue. There have been several upgrades to the Momentum headphone and I think the newest model has a more comfortable larger earcup.As I mentioned below I also have a vintage pair of AKG K141's which I also like as well. They however are a more larger on-ear and after a while the clamping force will get to you and they are a semi-open design. My most recent purchase was a Phillips Fidelio L2 and they have a VERY lush detailed sound AND the build quality is unlike anything I have seen in that price range. If you like the Momentums I guarantee that you would like the Fidelio headphones. The only downside to them for your purpose is that they are open back. I picked up a pair in like new condition on Ebay for $80. dollars, and I LOVE them. I think in the Fidelio line Phillips makes a closed back phone but I have not heard it. In the linked video the reviewer talks about the differences between the two Fidelio L series models.. He can be a little crass at times but has some good information. You might search his videos for other suggestions of other models as well...
