Just walked in the store today and never thought it can be this cheap. RRP is always around $150 - $250. Could be a very nice gift for tonight. Merry Xmas guys :)

agree, the over ear is more refined, using leather rather than fabric for the earcup
I have also been waiting for the over ear, but they never go on sale. Been monitoring Amazon for over a year
I don't call that a bargain, they are always around that price on Amazon.
I am waiting for closer to $150
@darpy01:
Over-ear are currently the cheapest they've been on Amazon at ~$198 (US dollars).
http://camelcamelcamel.com/Sennheiser-Momentum-Black-Headpho…When you factor in the exchange rate and additional delivery charge that's a lot more expensive than $198 (AU dollars) from Dick Smith's ebay store.
I understand that deal has expired. I was just suggesting to watch OzBargain more closely.
@darpy01: Make sure you mark all the colours on camelx3 if you don't care for the colours, sometimes they get specials on specific colours.
@darpy01:
sangz has mentioned below that the over-ear are $199 from COTD

Catch of the day selling for 199 plus shipping

$99 NOT $199

$99 at Dick Smith alsonot sure if you are both replying to the wrong coment..
but those are ON ear
not over ear that lplau wants
That is very cheap
Same price at dick smith's Boxing Day sale
I think JB price matched Dicksmith …. also on Catch of the day same price
Hopefully we won't be seeing as much beats on trains …
I really dont need a 4th set of cans but these are really nice sounding headphones… dayum…
I bought this pair for the gf for about 230 last year since she wanted a good looking on ear set and I wouldn't let her get anything I didn't think sounded good. If you don't mind on ears, this is the COMFIEST, best looking, and best sounding you should find for this price.ops
Very cheap. Got them for $130 delivered a few months back.
These are tuned to have very high treble/highs and after one days I couldn't stand them. Very different to anything else I've worn. Best you go try them on before buying.
come cans needs burning time
The article argues small in-ear or smaller drivers have no chance of burn-in effecting its sound but quotes a manger from Shure saying larger headphones might experience change. Its title is "Please Stop ‘Burning In’ Your EARphones" And their main argument is Shure testing E1 'EAR'phones.
From my understanding, bigger drivers produce better sound. The Sennheiser on-ear uses a 40mm driver (?) which is the same size as the much more expensive Sennheiser HD 700. (i.e. fairly large). The article is referring to the myth of burning in earphones, not almost-full sized headphones like the Sennheiser Momentum on-ear.

Hmmm, I stand corrected. I thought burn in had no audiable effects, perhaps not. Though to what extent that the change is and whether the positive effect is significant is still arguable.
Also, I never aruged that earphones sound better than headphones, I just found an article about burn in, thought they were relevant without realisng that it was talking about BA earphones. Even if it did change, it's BA, not relavant to headphones. Oh silly me.
40mm drivers are fairly commonly used. KOSS KSC-75 uses 40mm driver and that thing is 20 bucks. Just saying.
Ugh, Guttenburg. A traditional 'subjectivist' who's reviews and ideology I despise. Tyl panders to both camps as well as he can:

Just seen these on an email from " Catch of the day " also for those that may find them sold out. Sorry; cannot post link on my mobile phone … no windows etc. But it us a .com.au site if that helps at all, but + p&h. Said "brought to you from Dick Smith"?
Is it just me or are they ugly as hell
just you my friend … ok ..moving along
Bit much to expect people that scavenge through bargain bins to have some style.
Bit much for you to comprehend that people have their own tastes.
Dick Smith has this for $99 with delivery fee of $5.95 (Sydney area). Does anyone know if it will be delivered via the standard Australia Post service or do they use a courier company that will not drop off at the local post office?
They use StarTrack. Australia Post own them so I don't see why they wouldn't be able to drop it off. Hell, the StarTrack packaging has the Australia Post logo on it.
I've never missed a delivery with them though, so I can't be certain.
As mentioned they use StarTrack, but they didn't drop off my parcel at the local post office. They dropped it off at a business hub which was about half an hours drive away. Re-delivery was gong to take two business days.
Buy a JB hifi gift card, get a 20% off voucher. Use voucher and gift card to buy. Win win.
How to get 20% off?
Probably too late now but JB were running a promo, buy a gift card and you also receive a voucher for 20% any purchase up to $100 ticket price
I am still waiting for 2 JB HIFI $50 gift cards via my Flybuys card. One JB HIFI $50 gift card via my Qantas frequent flyer card arrived over a week ago. These were all organized at the same time and should have arrived by now. Hope the wayward two arrive soon to take advantage of sales at JB. Would have been nice to get a further 20% off … maybe I should buy one also … Son looking to puchase software over $200 at the moment, so a 20% discount would come in handy. Thank you.
Probably a stupid question but apart from the design is the sound exactly the same on the "on ear" and "over ear" versions?
Over ear one is better in terms of sound quality as far as I gathered from the forums and stuff.
Bought them today using some Christmas gift cards. Thanks OP:)
Went to Office Works and their price was around $175. I was able to get them for $94 after they beat the Dick Smith catalogue offer with the best price guarantee. So if you are near an Office Works then you can save a few more dollars!
lol. wished it was over ear for $99 sigh.
