New headphone. Which one to buy?

Posted by: kunchikka on 28 September 2015

Hi, I’m planning to buy a new headphone . I’m confused between these two brands. Sennheiser Momentum Wireless Bluetooth Headphone or Parrot Zik 2.0 Bluetooth Headphone. Price is same for both . I’m planning to buy headphone from bay bloor radio near my home in toronto as it will be easier to access repair service if required. I have used sennheiser headset before and i’m completely satisfied with it. Since I saw a another brand  under same price i got a little confused. Please suggest me which brand to buy.

If this is possible, I suggest you try both headphones and pick up the ones you like most. Otherwise, I suggest you buy the Sennheiser since you have been completely satisfied with them. Best, nbpf

I can't comment on these particular models, but I'd be prepared to bet that you'd get much better sound from wired headphones for the same budget. I know wires can be a PITA, but I'm not sure it's a compromise I'd want to make.

kunchikkla,

You're choosing between Bluetooth HPs, presumably for connection to a smart device. I'm curious why the concern for servicing? HPs seem pretty bullet-proof in my experience, the typical issue being wear on the cord, so not an issue with the BT variety. Are the BT types prone to problems?

 

I'm also interested, why make your post here on the Naim forum? Naim offers only direct HP outputs and there are several dedicated HP fora that could likely deal directly with the BT models in question. I'm not discouraging you posting here, just find it curious.
