oh hey Dave Taylor here and I'm
0:10
listening to the new sign Heiser
0:12
momentum Wireless and these are really
0:16
pretty darn amazing headphones they are
0:18
foldable but the foldable part isn't
0:21
what's interesting the first thing that
0:23
is interesting is you should notice that
0:24
there's no wire so I'm listening to this
0:29
off my Android phone using NFC and it's
0:32
an instant pairing if you have NFC and
0:35
you have it all hooked up you put the
0:36
headphones near them and boom you can
0:38
have this thing ready to roll
0:39
also of course works with Bluetooth and
0:42
that's pretty handy and if you really
0:44
want you it does come with a wire you
0:47
can plug it in and you can plug it into
0:49
whatever device you want honestly on my
0:51
laptop I use it that way because I try
0:53
to keep the Bluetooth off for power
0:55
reasons whatever but the other thing
0:58
that makes these really cool is not only
1:00
are they these nice wireless headphones
1:04
but they actually have active noise
1:06
cancellation and this is some serious
1:09
noise cancellation these are designed
1:11
for on airplanes or an other noisy
1:13
environments and the noise cancellation
1:15
system actually uses four microphones so
1:18
it's kind of eerie actually to put it on
1:21
in a noisy environment and then you just
1:23
push the button to engage the noise
1:25
cancellation and it's like suddenly all
1:28
the noise goes away and it's really
1:30
really very quite startling and very
1:34
impressive and then all you get is the
1:36
music and turns out they also you can't
1:39
see it but they also have built-in
1:40
microphone so you can also use these if
1:42
you're on a phone call but again as I've
1:45
said in other videos that I find the
1:47
over ear enclosed as a way to have the
1:50
sound on a phone call very weird you
1:54
might have different experiences you
1:55
might find it to be very comfortable but
1:57
for me there's something about me being
1:59
on the phone that makes that feel a
2:01
little strange to me but people on the
2:04
other end have reported that it sounds
2:06
like I'm talking into a handset so they
2:08
have no idea that I just have a pair of
2:09
headphones on and I'm talking to myself
2:11
like some crazy homeless guy
2:13
I'm not a crazy homeless guy promised
2:15
that's not the case so these are like I
2:18
said these are the Momentum's and let me
2:20
see so they're noise control system they
2:23
call no noise guard not nose guard noise
2:27
guard and it's a hybrid active
2:30
cancellation system like I said that
2:32
uses four microphones and here's what's
2:34
important is that you can charge this
2:36
via any microUSB connector so it's
2:39
pretty easy to plug it in and charge it
2:41
even if you're in a hotel room or on the
2:43
road and then with active noise
2:46
cancellation and Bluetooth it's going to
2:48
run you 22 hours on a charge so if you
2:52
actually instead of that we're to use it
2:54
as wired headphones for example you'd
2:56
get even more and if you didn't want the
2:58
noise cancellation you get more battery
3:00
life and here's the cool thing is you
3:02
can use these just as traditional
3:04
headphones without anything turned on
3:06
and they still sound really good not
3:08
quite as good as when you get the noise
3:10
cancellation but those will last forever
3:13
because you don't even need the
3:14
batteries so that's one thing that I
3:16
always look for because on a lot of
3:18
wireless headphones if they run out of
3:20
juice they're dead and that's not very
3:22
useful so sine Heiser has sidestepped
3:25
that whole issue now on the edge of the
3:29
right-hand ear cup is let me zoom in a
3:32
little close here there are some
3:34
controls there's the on/off control that
3:36
also gives you bluetooth pairing and
3:38
then there's volume up and down and
3:40
actually wait is that there right yeah
3:42
that's the right one so with a little
3:44
bit of practice it's pretty easy to use
3:46
the up and down volume controls and
3:48
that's really nice and you know it's a
3:51
lot easier because then you can have
3:52
your phone or whatever it is you're
3:54
listening to out of sight and it's not
3:56
anything you have to mess with because
3:57
on the earbuds are on the headphones
4:00
these are definitely not earbuds on the
4:02
headphones you just do volume up and
4:04
volume down and it works pretty easily
4:05
now it turns out when you're talking
4:08
just like they're using four microphones
4:10
for the noise cancellation they use two
4:13
microphones for your voice and then they
4:16
sort of cross compare and do noise
4:17
reduction on that too so these really
4:20
are pretty cool for using on phone calls
4:22
or Skype or Google screaming or blab
4:26
periscope or all of those other services
4:28
as a way to deal with the noisy
4:30
environment and still have people be
4:32
able to hear you now I'll admit these
4:35
have a premium price tag these are this
4:37
is the ivory color and the ivory color
4:40
for reasons I don't fully understand is
4:42
more expensive than the full black the
4:44
retail price on all of the models for
4:47
the momentum Wireless is four hundred
4:49
and ninety nine dollars but they're four
4:52
hundred and eighty four dollars in ivory
4:54
on amazon.com and there are only four
4:57
hundred and fifty seven dollars in black
4:59
so you know depending on what color you
5:02
can save a few dollars on it but I have
5:03
to say they're beautiful headphones them
5:06
and I've let other people listen to them
5:08
they're just their mouth drops open
5:09
they're just like oh my god this is
5:12
amazing they're really that good they're
5:14
you know I'm already a huge fan of the
5:17
sign Heiser line and this is just a
5:19
great addition to it now I will give you
5:21
one other contem comment is that there's
5:24
sort of this funky mechanism where when
5:27
you put the wire in you have to put it
5:29
in all the way and then turn it and I
5:32
don't exactly know what the deal is with
5:34
that it might be some sort of locking
5:35
mechanism but when I first got these I
5:38
didn't do it the right way and I would
5:40
only get sound out of one of the ear
5:43
pieces and I was like I think there's
5:45
something wrong with these headphones I
5:46
think I better call sine Heiser but then
5:48
I tried it a couple more times and then
5:50
found sort of the magic way to put it in
5:53
properly so that I now actually get
5:55
sound out of both ears which is good but
5:59
if you do pick up a pair then you might
6:01
find that you're gonna need to have just
6:04
a little practice to get the pudding in
6:06
the wire and then of course you can't
6:07
pull the wire out so you have to turn it
6:09
and then it will come out so that's a
6:12
little practice gesture because I
6:14
haven't seen that in any other
6:15
headphones but that's really it and
6:18
that's not even a complaint that's just
6:19
I think a design feature actually and
6:21
these are just just lovely headphones
6:24
I'm really going to enjoy listening to
6:26
these and I'm gonna really look forward
6:27
to my next plane flight because I think
6:29
these are gonna really rock it and just
6:31
sound really wonderful so sign Heiser
