#876 Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear Discontinued eBay
Pros: Bass is lifted about 5.1 dB with extension to 20 Hz, giving kick drums and bass lines extra weight. Upper treble lifts about 2.6 dB for extra air and sparkle. Lower mids sit within about 0.7 dB of target, keeping voices and guitars natural. It uses 1 x dynamic with an easy 18 ohm load.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Presence sits about 7.3 dB low with an 8.8 dB dip near 3.5 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite. A 4.8 dB peak near 7.0 kHz can make cymbals and sibilance sound sharp. The 5.1 dB bass lift can sound boomy and mask midrange detail. A Harman score of 33 places it in the lower part of the in-ear rankings.
