Customer Reviews


I purchased these Senns, along with the Moto S9-HD and the Moto S305 from a store closing sale and have been testing each for the past few days. I'll get this out of the way first, these Sennheisers are by far my favorite of the BT headsets I bought. They are very clean with more than enough volume to overcome outside noise, should you so desire. However, these are over the ear headphones, designed to allow you to hear the world around you. A bit safer for running/walking/biking on a high traffic area.
Sound quality wise, these are exactly what I would expect from Sennheiser. Extremely detailed and clean. These aren't for the bassheads however, as the bass could stand to be a bit more pronounced. That being said, my sole testing platform is an iPhone 3gs, which is known for a very flat frequency response. But don't get me wrong, the bass is MUCH better than the Moto S305's and a few other cans and IEM's around the same price point. It's just not what one would call "boomy". For those that prefer lifelike reproduction, the way the engineer intended, these should be fairly pleasing.
Build quality isn't the best I've seen and could stand to be improved. The neckband feels as if it will snap if stressed too much. They also aren't as comfortable as the other two Motos, as the they kind of pinch the ear when worn as intended. I actually can only have the right side "clipped" to my ear, as the left side feels way to awkward and somewhat painful when attached. This actually affects sound quality a bit, as it's not fully on the ear. Each person has different ears, so others may not have this problem.
I had no problem pairing these with my iPhone 3gs. Everything synced up perfectly and other than charging, worked straight from the box. The only thing that doesn't work with Apple products is the track forward/track backward buttons. However, this isn't a problem with the headphones themselves, but an Apple intended limitation to sell more dock licenses. Guess they don't have enough money. If you have an external bluetooth adapter that attaches to the dock connector (like the one that comes with the S9-HD's), all the buttons, including track forward/track backward work fine. But this kind of defeats the purpose of having on-board bluetooth.
In conclusion, I definitely like these, but they're not what I would call perfect. They would probably be 5-star phones IF they were under $100. The fit and finish, along with the mildly-anemic bass response keeps them at a 4-star level. Again, the bass response is definitely not terrible and a lot more pronounced that some others, it's just not going to please the bassheads out there looking for BT phones.

This is the God-sent for the busy professional with a lot of after hours calls.
On my Motorola Droid X calls come in nicely, all i do is push the button and i am in a conversation. About 2 seconds after hanging up music is back.
I have HD800s in my home theater (auditioned comparatively and picked over Grados btw), and over and over Sennheiser delivers. I have Dolby Reference calibrated separates system with Paradigm Reference all around, bitsream SACD multichannel, etc., i don't want to bore you with the minutia ... but for the size the MM100 sound great.
I always buys Senn refurbs often for half price and quality was no exception this time. Same with the HiFi set, same with the humble PC150, and PC26 mono headset i use to mount my TrackIR and for USB mic when I sim in IL2.
Right on Sennheiser, far Eastern or not me digz 'em!
