I put in the context of the price paid for the product: 89! Promo Black Friday. Suffice to say that at this price, it would be 10 stars I would have wanted to but remain objective.
Having tested a lot of nomads helmets from 99 to 249, I found my pearl (the price being the determining factor).
I have tested or owned the Sennheiser Momentum over ear (the must over 200), Focal Spirit One (Fragile, imposing but good sound), Philips Fidelio M1 (which I still have: headsets come off, you have to sew but flawless finish), Fidelio L1 (roughly 0 insulation, good sound), Beats Solo 2 (returned because the sound ... it beats ...) Zoro Noontec HD (very good sound, questionable overall quality, looks like a copy of beats), Marshall, B & W and others.
So now, I can get an objective opinion: the best mobile, the momentum OVER ear, the true, the dear one to over 200 in circum which not too bad against noise and transforms your ears hot water bottles with his detailed and just enough enriched bass.
Then there is the Momentum ear, the one referred to in this notice: let's be clear, it does not isolate outside noise, or very little (I do crazy, in this case one that takes either a HD25 you put the head like a vice, a Bose QC25 home to almost 300) and has small sound leakage at high volume (over ear design and foams that does it).
After these details which can be prohibitive for some, the rest is the madness !!!
A 199 to its output, I say no (I also regret having spent so much in my Fidelio M1), currently at 149 everywhere, yes, we can begin to crack tater. A 99 or less, he must even think.
The sound is detailed, clear, crystalline, enriched in severe it is true (that is warm, flattering, trend curve of a V just right). I rediscovered as everyone full of pieces, and I even listen to new genres as the pleasure is there. FLAC files are a treat, guitars, pianos, cellos, violins, big bass of David Guetta or Calvin Harris, the voice of Keane or the melodies of Youn Sun Nah. All fabulously spring.
It is not in the HiFi to kick amp and DAC files 96KHz / 24bit with silver cords, no, but it approaches the ideal mobile for a very reasonable budget, a crazy look and a brand recognized medium.
Even at 149, go for it, the ear is for you.
I can make sessions of 2 to 3 hours of listening without experiencing burning or pain in the ears. I have a big head.
Others feel pain or heat. In conclusion, it depends on your body type.
I put on the head of my wife and I must say it is really a very classy and sexy helmet if you look important. And at least you do not look like the Princess Leia with.
(Damn, I forgot to denigrate Beats sound ... It's for the rich deaf !!! And I love the bass, as they collide but do not eat up the rest of the spectrum that in addition n ' is not detailed. The Solo 2 will have been my last experience with the brand of the doctor, now apple property).
