Picked these up just now from Sennheiser store in Sydney. In-store price is $99.95 but they matched their online price.

For those wanting latest BT and longer battery life these aren't for you (has BT 4.2 and small 6 hour battery).

It's a great price for the signature Sennheiser sound and 24 month warranty though.

A couple of other deals knocking about..

Looks like this one is in-store only.

    Pretty reasonable deal if you had a matching pair of ears.

    Addicted to Audio was selling IE 80 S BT for $199 a few weeks ago

    I have the True Wireless 1, Momentum Free and IE 80 S BT

    • Plimsol on 14/01/2021 - 13:22

      It's a naming convention in earbuds, they are "free" from a cable attached to your device. Other manufacturers use it as well.

      • Scrooge McDuck on 14/01/2021 - 16:25

        Thanks for clearing that up. I opened the thread wondering if Momentum Free was a bit of advertising embellishment meaning they're designed in a way to prevent them falling out of one's ear as though they have no momentum (really inertia would be correct) of their own.

  • drazenm on 14/01/2021 - 13:19

    I had older wired momentum model and didn't like them, sound was to clear, didn't have any bass at all. I don't like new aged earphones as most of them are overblown with bass and sound muddy but these were too clear for me, tried all kind of settings and nothing helped.

    • Erwark on 14/01/2021 - 21:08

      The in-ear Momentums? I had the wired ones and they were definitely bassy. V-shaped sound profile. Perhaps they didn't seal for you or were faulty?

    Momentum Free Earbuds $69.95

    So these don't have mass or they can't be moved ?

    • TheMatrix on 08/02/2021 - 21:47

      It has mass but its velocity is zero, ie stationary.

    Wow, all the pro reviews I have seen are 4.5 or 5 stars but the text is littered with negatives and mostly mentions what they don't do well, which is a lot.

    • Bargain Slut on 14/01/2021 - 13:32
      +17

      keep in mind that those reviews were probably reflective of the expectations that would come with a $300 pair of headphones - at $70 you will struggle to find anything better than these.

      • Gamer Dad Reviews on 14/01/2021 - 13:41

        Would like to know how they compare to Beats Flex

        • Bargain Slut on 14/01/2021 - 13:48

          I've never owned any beats products, so can't be of assistance unfortunately.

        • fossilgem on 14/01/2021 - 16:20

          If you are iOS person, without doubt go with Beats Flex.

    • BLB1984 on 14/01/2021 - 14:29
      +3

      I wondered the same so was looking through Amazon reviews. Unfortunately many of them seem to say the buds fall out all the time, not just exercising so probably not good for gym use

    • usbc activist on 14/01/2021 - 15:12

      These are not suitable for exercise

    • g1 on 14/01/2021 - 16:08

      I had the wired version. I wouldn't use it for exercise. Good sound but they did fall out with a certain amount of movement.

    • blorx on 14/01/2021 - 16:47

      I have the CX Sport, seem to be constantly adjusting them during ride/run. I've tried both size buds around my fit. TW style Redmi Airdots and QCY really fit tight and well, but prefer the neck-band when I remove an ear around traffic.

  • mrau on 14/01/2021 - 14:42

    Truly fantastic deal. I don't need them, but will buy as a ready made present when I need one. Stock them up :-)

    Thanks. For $70, just ordered to give it a go.

  • usbc activist on 14/01/2021 - 15:11

    They were on this price for many months now at sennheiser online store and sennheiser ebay store. People used to IEMs will find the fit of these really irritating. But they have stellar sound.

  • field1985 on 14/01/2021 - 15:14

    Thanks, just bought a back-up set. I paid double that 18 months ago. Use them all the time for everything from office meetings/calls, motorbike riding, international flights, etc, they have not missed a beat and meet all my needs.

    Positives:
    - Noise is very effectively blocked by the rubber, so you don't even need to listen at full volume (even riding a motorcycle in city traffic).
    - The sound quality is very good (not tinny or bass/buzzy), as with all sennheisers.
    - I've had no issues with the bluetooth, if anything it's too good at connecting to devices (2 computers and phone can get confusing what your source is).
    - I can wear them for 12 hours no problem and have forgotten I was wearing them (very light/comfortable)
    - All sennheiser headphones come with a 2 year warranty, if they stop working just claim against that.
    - Hard to drop because they have magnets so you can wear them around your neck when not in use.
    - Can be worn asymmetrically to avoid the cord touching your face/neck.

    Negatives:
    - The battery life could be a little better, they don't quite get through a full work day/commute of constant use. At least 6-7 hours, but after 8-9 and they would start to power off. I just charged them when I went to lunch.
    - You can't charge them and use them at the same time
    - The battery and volume controls could be a little smaller and more discreet, but I guess that would reduce their battery life further.

    At that price they are a true oz bargain.

  • aim54x on 14/01/2021 - 16:34

    I got these last year for $99. I have to admit I am very happy with them, they sound great, are comfortable, well built, and so far no connection issues. The battery life is shorter than other options, and the battery block on the cable does skew it them to the left side. But overall they are a nice set of buds.

    I'm going to resist this one (with some difficulty).

  • Murdrum on 14/01/2021 - 17:23

    How is this deal even on the same level (of votes) as Bunnings truck?!

  • teeskiies on 14/01/2021 - 21:02

    Bought these back prior to black friday sales. Can vouch for build quality and looks/feel premium.
    As some have stated, the battery is abit shorter than what most competitor provide nowadays. I only realised that after I impulse bought haha. But these were aimed for commute so will be more than plenty. Can just recharge in office, just like you would with your phone so no biggie in my experience.
    But to be fair I think this came out in 2017/2018. They hold up very well still IMO. Sounds wise i am please with. Very well balanced low mids and highs, but thats just subjective.

    Note: the magnetics that clip the outside earbuds are pretty weak. Most likely gonna break apart if you wear em on you neck, but holds nicely within the provided faux(?) leather case.

  • LawLaff on 14/01/2021 - 21:31

    I'm sure someone else has already mentioned this somewhere, but just in case, they were ~150 last christmas. Still about half price but yeah, hasn't been that price for a long while..

      • MrBigPee on 14/01/2021 - 21:55

        • LawLaff on 14/01/2021 - 22:13
          +1

          they're really not that great, unless you have magic ears. the reviews are pretty bad all round.

          • MrBigPee on 14/01/2021 - 22:22

            @LawLaff: Weird. Most of the reviews I've seen are just the lack of battery life and subpart sound quality. Most if not all of them typically call the sound stellar, and these are reviews from a while ago. Then again the sound may not be as good as other devices now, but I'm skeptical that anything around this price range beats it soundwise
            Think the general consensus was that these were being carried by their sound however the price was a big turnoff for most people, especially given the competition at the time.
            Seems like a steal to me, so weird.

    • Borg on 15/01/2021 - 08:30

      I would have thought that 6 hours was fairly decent considering the size.

      • aveeno bb on 15/01/2021 - 11:07

        These ones don't have the battery case like the TWS types, hence battery size is more important.

    • aveeno bb on 15/01/2021 - 11:08

      Something like this, 13 hours.

        Ipx8 - $43.99 and 14 Hours Playtime

        Neckband Wireless Earbuds - $43.19 with 22 Hours Playtime

        SoundPEATS Wireless Headphones - $39.99 does not seem to have any model number associated and reviews suggest ~12-14+ hours of playtime.

        All of them seem to have Bluetooth 5.0 version

  • happykamper on 22/01/2021 - 16:42

    Mine arrived yesterday. They sound ok, but the inside of the box, and the headphones themselves, have that strong musty smell you get with cables and electronics that have been sitting in a box way too long. I'm wondering how old these things actually are, and what implications that has on battery life?

    The magnets on the back of the earpieces, that hold them together around your neck, are laughably weak, so much so that they're basically pointless.

    I think these will be ok for light cardio activities or general use, but don't seem any better than my much cheaper QCY headset. I don't know how these could ever have been considered worth 300 bucks???

    • Borg on 22/01/2021 - 18:54

  • s1Lence on 30/01/2021 - 18:01
    +4

    I bought one of these from amazon after seeing this deal and would not recommend them

    biggest problem is that they don't stay in your ears at all when moving! i have tried several different earbuds and none have made it much better, even just walking is enough for them to slowly make their way out of your ears and they will never stay in properly which significantly reduces the seal and results in worse noise isolation and much worse audio quality (soundpeats are much better if you need to move around)

    included earbuds suck, i replaced them with my soundpeats ones as they are actually better quality and result in a better fit

    although the sound is good compared to my cheaper wireless soundpeats earphones, it is somehow worse than my chifi wired earphones that cost <$20

    if you are buying these to use while completely stationary at a desk they'll get the job done, but otherwise look elsewhere
