I have slightly large ears...(dork, I know)...the Sennheiser Momentums touch the edges of my ears. ATs fit well around. Any idea how these compare?

I don'the know about the Momentums, but I have pretty big ears and these fit me just fine. The pads have more of an oval shape to accommodate your earlobes.
1659883
The inside dimensions of the Sennheiser Momentum's ear pads are 50mm x 35mm (maybe check yours to confirm?), whereas the inside dimensions of the M4U1 ear pads are about 69.85mm x 44.45mm

I have normal size ears, from what I can tell, and I can feel the ear cups of the PSB's on the edges of my ears a little. Doesn't bother me at all though.

I'd say I have slightly larger than average ears. These fit over my ears with a little to spare. Seems like you need to find a pair and see how they fit on you rather than potentially wasting the $300

The ear cups are bigger than the current Sennheiser Momentums, but they could be a little larger since they are oval shaped. They are also very shallow, so your ears will rest on the driver. This type of fit causes discomfort after about 10-15 mins form me. I would describe the cups as having a glove like fit on your ears.

I tried both the PSB M4U1 and the Sennheiser Momentums. I don't consider myself to have large ears at all. I thought the Sennheisers pinched my ears; I couldn't ever quite get comfortable in them. I thought the PSB's weighed a metric ton and had a headache after an hour of wearing them, but they definitely have larger ear cups; I had no issues there. I thought they both sounded great; Sennheiser has more pronounced bass but PSB has a better balanced sound. But neither of those obstacles were enough for me to keep either pair; I instead have the Bose AE2i's. There is a downgrade in sound quality but not a ton - they still sound great, they are light weight, and fit comfortably around the ears. I tried both the PSB M4U1 and the Sennheiser Momentums.

I would say that they're better than the Skull Candy Aviators, and just about the same as the Sony MDRs, although the Sennheisers might have slightly better bass and clearer highs. The only downside to the Sennheisers is that they don't isolate at all; you can hear what's going on around you. Super comfortable, though. Highly recommended.

I've owned bose, harmon kardan, and varios other headsets. Kransens work as well or better, for me. As usual, wind is the big factor.

Personally I rank them a bit higher, others will say these don't have enough bass (I would strongly disagree) however to be honest I haven't used these in ~9months, I gave them to my fiance and bought some ATH-A900X's which are the same driver but with aluminium housing and sound a few notches above both.Both are fantastic headphones, but the M50's have a much flatter soundstage compared to the ATH-A700X's, I would also say that they are not as comfortable. Slightly more portable.

I use these for CSGO as well and I definitely noticed an improvement over my "gaming" headphones. I can hear foot steps and the direction of gun fire more accurately. Accute sounds are no longer drowned out by overpowering bass rattle. The open back also caused less issues with ear pain because the bass pushing air in my ear canal with the closed back ones I had. When I bought my set I bought the headphones, a Sennheisser HH10 Headphone holder, Large CASEBUDi Headphones case (for lan parties), and a FiiO E17 Alpen Headphone AMP/DAC.I love the E17 as an amp/dac because it just works. It gives me volume control right there at the unit and drives these headphones with ease. I use these for CSGO as well and I definitely noticed an improvement over my "gaming" headphones.

I have a large head and they are very tight on me. But they should be good for someone with a small head. Also they aren't as durable as you might expect. However, they do sound very nice and balanced. If you want some smaller headphones, I'd check out the Sennheiser 219, 229, and the 239. They are smaller yet still sound fantastic. I'd also recommend the Panasonic rp-htx7. The are nice, light, low profile, and have a fun sound signature.

I haven't used either of those sennheiser models, but these headphones are pretty light! I'm always surprised of how light they are every time I pick them up. They kind of feel like they're hollow, if that makes sense. Hope that helps.

I haven't tried those specific Sennheisers, so I can't comment on the comparisons. I would say don't bother looking at full sized headphones for jogging or travelling. You should consider a nice pair of in ear monitors, which are the step up from earbuds. These akg headphones don't have a tight fit and are pretty cheap and plastic-y feeling. I wouldn't trust them for travel or jogging.

These are 2 completely different animals. The m30 are over ear and the 239 are on ear. I love my Sennheisers. I have the m50 and they are pretty good, but heavy. The 239 are what I use at the office.

I have not compared them, but I own the Active2's and they are great. Im very surprised and happy about the sound quality...very good. And when I use them with my phone, no one complains that I sound like I'm in a wind tunnel...They are great!

They're a tight fit, but I've got a huge head (haha). The weight isn't a problem, My tiny fiancee wears them and she's never complained about the weight. Hope this helps. The only problem w/them I've had was I've had to replace them twice due to cord problems. But I think that's said fiancee picking them up by the cord. I've been buying cans since the 70's and these rank at the top of the list. They really do sound great. The removable filters make customizing the listening experience nice. Filters in = great bass, filters out = really nice high-end. Either way the Bass-treble mix is fantastic. I would suggest these 'phones to my best friends.

Haven't done a lot of research on sennheiser, but they probably are around the same quality of sound but id like to believe that the sync are built a lot tougher, and they do work with anything that has a 3.5mm headphone jack even a tv

Initially they do seem huge if compared to say Apple's product. I have had mine for the last 6 months and they are by far the best headphones/ear buds I have ever owned. I would advise you to take the time and try different size ear tips until you have a snug and comfortable fit. Lastly, the flat cord is next to impossible to tangle. You made a great purchase. Good listening...

They're both really great and I doubt you'll be disappointed with either one of em. Both the headphone's sound quality appeal to your sense of music. I think your decision will have to rely on the physical body of the headphones. If you're looking for a lightweight headphone on-the-go type of style, I'd recommend the momentum 2.0. If you want heavier, tighter, more durable type with better passive noise cancellation get these. Of the two, the momentum is more comfortable. But I really love the noise cancellation of these.

Because these are closed back, they isolated very well for me... almost couldn't hear anything with them on... however, in terms of size... the earmuffs run a little on the small side... so for me they sat on top of my ear rather that over them... after a few hours of gaming they began to ache which caused me to return them and go with something different. the sound quality is great and the sound stage is expansive.

I can't say I know! I see people with both types and have never asked which they prefer. I purchased Sennheiser because of familiarity with the brand. Felt like for the price these are a great value (for my taste!). Good luck!

The ear pads provided are extremely comfortable even with glasses on. I also have a pair of esw 700 and the esw 9's are much more comfortable. I believe the pads are different.
