It's just fascinating how 90% of the comments aren't even closely related to audio.
Can I have your profile picture?
Lol these people
Reality can often be momentum less 🤣

lol
use the brain tingle extension lol
Use LinusTech tips
FacePam?
Here's a recolutinary idea for you.. replacement eartips
The subscribe note at the beginning is better and better every time. Today's was especially great. As a subscribed user I got a hook for a next week and I think not yet subscribed people will appreciate it too. However, I don't like that there wasn't any bottom third banner during the end sponsor thing, but it's not that big of a problem.
^Thats alot of feed back I would love to have someone keep me in cheek in my videos
hey man, I give feed back everywhere. I've been on youtube for 4 years now, and I always look for things that work and also on those that don't. I will definitely check your channel out, if you want, you want send me the video you are most proud of (not in terms of view count)
EDIT: I watched all (3) of your video. I would be happy to help you. Would you mind contacting me on my email? We can do a short google hangouts thing.
Nice to hear someone like it, i kinda start to hate them mentions the sub thingy. Maybe im just weird.
Sonic Jensen I didn't like them as well, because previously it was just literally just like, "if you don't want to miss our future content - subscribe" than many people complained and I'm not sure if it it thanks to me but I asked to change it on something where we will get some info about what is coming up. So for next 2 weeks it was always like "this thing is yellow, you know what else is yellow corsairs new logo, we have a new keyboard, we will review it, plz subscribe" And now he even said when it is coming out. It's less and less annoying every time. I think I'm starting to like it.
Was really on the fence but this review of the Momentum and comparing the Shure SE215 has convinced me to get the Sennheiser.
Same
The shures sound better but are a pain in the ass to put on
+Caterpillow-pants Did you get them? I've been looking at the two for the past two days :D I guess I'm ordering the Sennheiser as well :D
fai9al023 I have them they sound great. Cables are a tad too long tho
Get the triple driver. Much better
Oh WTF this video is only in 1440p?!?! Stupid UA-cam...
That's what I thought.
***** I know hahaha, it's just funny to see it lagging behind for 4K videos and "Only having 1440p" has the highest res vs 144p
2160P now... video proccesing isnt instant you know
fiattrickbox Yes I do know ahah, i lliterally just explained above.
It's only working at 10800p for me! What terrible resolution...
I have the on-ear momentums and I love them so much, bought some in ears from a small independent company rated well for a similar price to the and not too impressed now I want these :(
Wow the timing of this could not have been more perfect! I just watched your vid on the momentum on ears last night and almost bout them but decided to hold out for now and now this!
Linus, all these shitty innuendos/explicit references are starting to hurt the content in my opinion. I just think it's harder for the older guys to take the videos seriously, we're here for tech not bad comedy.
I don't see your Point I dont mind the bad jokes :) but then again im 20.
Duly noted. We take all feedback very seriously
+MyShowBro 20 doesn't mean you're old
it's fine, who cares
+Raidderr Raidderr He was saying he's young not old lol.
60fps>4K and everybody can run it
I agree 120%
It's a tech review not a gameplay video.
I Agree with that as well
Harris Douglas U have a 4K monitor?
i have a 2k monitor
So linus .. You make a video around 6 o'clock in the morning and you don't look tired? Great job linus :D
lol dude in my country linus's upload video on 6 o'clock in evening
***** Alaska reporting in here. Currently 2:01 in the morning.
Yea, cos they don't _ever_ time video releases
It's 10pm here in Aus. I will say though, it's not like he just finished filming this, it's at least a week old.
***** funny how I'm in the middle as it's midday here
Ah, the good ol’ Linus.
This was a fresh breath of air from the ‘new’ videos
Thank you for reviewing this. I have been waiting for a review on this headphones.
same here lol
I usually watch reviews at 1.25x speed. Not with Linus... not with him. LOL
I just purchased these today and I will have them this Saturday. Gotta love amazon prime shipping.
Sean Orion I'm getting them tomorrow... How are they?
hey bro, i ended up buying them, i must say, they shout quality, with its case and all (even though the case isnt as practical as it is good looking)
the earbuds are worth it bro.. give them a try
Why do so many people ask if "Is this a good build?"... Go to the forums :/
Tell me about it
I know, it annoys me so much
They still get answers
Still annoying...
Is this a good build:
486FTW
I was on the fence with these earphones and your review(One of the only few reviewers i trust on UA-cam) made me click Buy Now! And of course, i used your affiliate link to support the channel!
hey guys can i run the next gen games like ac unity and far cry 4 at high settings 60 fps with my new set up?
*casio i7 scientific calculator for CPU michaelangelo as my GPU 8 years old mountain RAM 8GB SSD to be installed onto a USB port and lastly mitsubishi floor fan a123 b44 z567 DE cheese 789 superWXY 890-321x*
i want to install lights too probably a florescent ceiling lamp they look beautiful and would go well with a the cardboard box PC case :) sad that they didn't have one made out of straw.
Probably would be much higher than 60 fps. Around 3000 fps is a good target
dogfiles MC great to hear, thanks!
***** yeah u juz jealous cuz u don't have a state-of-the-art setup that can run the next gen games like me. meanwhile im thinking of having additional leonardo da vinci SLI meh i can throw in picasso as well ez
You need at least:
*TI-85 i5 scientific calculator for CPU, Voodoo 3 GFX as a GPU 16 year old 4MB SIMM RAM, and a papyrus leaf for storage.*
For the case, use halogen lights powered by car battery with mulit-colored plastic covers.
*****
No you need TI-30X Pentium MMX for CPU, ATI Rage IIc 4mb for GPU, IBM 386 "Bazin Fast" ram and 8track for Storage.
HELP!
Should i buy the 1more earbuds or these ones!?
0:35 nice calves linus
I strongly vouch for shure products. As a proud owner of many of their microphones, headphones and iems, including the se215, ive never had issues relating to durability.
Im an audio engineer and have used numerous iems for personal monitoring or leisure music listening.
My se215 has been beaten up really badly, cables half chewed off cause it was caught in my jacket zipper, accidentally pulled them out of my ear from tugging on the cable, walked in the rain without an umbrella and they still work as when i first got them! Its been almost 3 years since i got them and i only sent them in for servicing once cause i was clumsy enough to drop one of the earpiece into a cup of coffee lololol.
Maybe your mate just had a faulty unit.
I wish I could see his kid's reaction when he watches these videos in a few years XD
Where Is the pc oil build Linus I'm getting annoyed
He ran out of oil.
And oil price is quite high lately
In last WAN show they said it was due to be released on Monday night (I also want to see how it continues)
Would have like it if he uploaded it all up at once when it was done
Monday night I believe
Can't wait for the holiday buyers guide video
I still use these to this day, best earbuds I ever bought!
So... what are u doing with XZ2? I though you gave it away...
Borrowed Ed's. He also got a LTT skin
Oh, okay :p
+LinusTechTips how much better are the sennheiser in ears conpaired to the razer hammerheads?
The dust with that zoom in on the ear buds O_O
There's almost always dust with these guys.. And they call themselves tech reviewers lol.
You're first point is true your second... I do not agree with just because there is dust means they aren't good tech reviewers? A lot of tech guru's are not organized when it comes to keeping things clean. Believe me I know although there are some of them that will be fanatic saying MUST CLEAN but not many.
JmanTheMinecrafter I *assure* you I'm kidding. I love Linus and if he weren't already married I'd be all over that.
oh phew XD I really thought you were serious. You know the people who are like that
And those long ass nails...
Better tha most tech channel reviews! It's good to hear a review done by an audio enthusiast!
I think you guys found the best way to to your Subscribe Invites in the beginning.
Doing them as a parenthetical made it seem clunky and forced, often detracting from everything else being said around them.
But this time you got everything said before and then moved into the topic of the upcoming video, finishing gracefully into the intro.
It's the most fluid one yet.
I wish i could get feed back like this on my videos !
*****
Hes trying to get his brand out there and make something of himself. Fuck him right!?
*****
See now minus the swearing, that was a nicer way to put your point across. Do that more often and people will have a greater respect for you and your opinion. As of right now I have little respect of you and your opinion for opening with a personal attack on someone instead of just stating facts.
the sennheiser momentum in ear and cx 300 are amazing headphones but the problem with sennheiser is they break to easy
You must be high
The cable sucks in terms of durability.
Francie Mc Cool my momentum iems died after 7 months of heavy use
Totally agree... I'm on my 3rd replacement set in 9 months
not really
4:55 "Top 40 garbage music" Lol
Just bought a pair of these second hand based on reviews saying they have excellent bass and high end, but lack a bit of mid range. I have the Momentum on ear and over ear headphones for my hi-fi, and I'm happy with the sound of these, but the buds are horrible. Loads of treble, with little to no bass. I've tried them on all my devices as well as my hi-fi, but no good result. I've had to completely turn down treble and up the bass to get anything decent! The clarity is good with little to no distortion even at higher volumes. I may have bought a damaged pair? I can't see any indication that they may be fake, so is this the norm? I'd like to hear a brand new pair (or as new as possible as these are a few years old now) for comparison.
Watching this review with the audio coming through MIE's in my ears. :)
Still waiting for the oil cooled PC Linus >:(
WHERE IS THE SECOND PART OF THE MINERAL OIL PC BUILD?
Monday it will be uploaded
***** todayy ?
I bought Bose earbuds for several years, but the cords would short after about 12 months on almost every pair. I’m burned out on Bose. I tried Beats, and Best Buy told me that the Apple ones would work fine with my Samsung, but that was a lie. I’m still looking for a good pair of earbuds but can’t afford the Sennheiser ie 80s. I was hoping that the Momentum were decent earbuds but I’ll see about the ie 40s by Sennheiser’s instead.
Great job as always! Have you reviewed the Onkyo E900M and the E700M yet? Is their High Resolution Audio support worthwhile? Can you please review them at your earliest convenience? Thank you, JA
sound is awesome but wire quality too worst
Bad OR BAD agree
Your thoughts on Samsung Level On?
Still waiting
Hey there Linus, I'm more of a high frequency listener that enjoys the hiss of a snare drum, and cymbals. As you can tell I prefer alternative rock, and indie rock as well. Since it's the holidays, which iems are a worthy choice for me? If you can help me, that'd be wonderful. Thank you!
Hi linus,
Which one do you recommend as a superior earphones overall. Sennheiser momentum or the bose true sound in ear earphones? Also, and why did you choose the one or the another.
thanks,
marc
im watching whith a pair in my ears
Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear or Jaybirds X2?
Not considering the Wired vs Wireless characteristic, what would you guys go with?
jaybirds X2 is a sports earpiece ... and I never go for sports one because they are focused on comfort rather than the sound quality...
So, would obviously choose sennheiser over sporty X2
sennheiser, they come with xs s m and l earbuds , for msot people the xs and the s fit better i can jum,p around and they never fall out.
excellect sound quality
In line remote on the right side might be annoying sometimes but when I'm on my bike with a jacket on it is actually very handy.
I've never had a Sennheiser cable fail/break so far (3 in ear phones and 2 headphones). I love them!
I Agree 110
How's the sound with the sennheiser momentum, compared to apple earbuds?
+Cassandra Lykke Miles better! I honestly can't use my EarPods without cringing anymore, because of the so much better sound on the Momentums! :D Although, I still use my EarPods when laying down, as I can't do that with the Momentums. My friend has these too, and he says he can if he uses the smaller tips.
Against apple earbuds the sennheiser have better isolation and they have a very crispy high end... But bass-mids are really lacking. I don't like them and haven't yet found an high quality substitute for EarPods with "medium" isolation and good bass delivery ... Any hint?
"to confirm that my socks are on and ready to be blown off"... o my god, so highly intellectual joke, you are the top! :D
0:33, probably the intel capsule was transformed into a badass cookie jar :3
I really really really wish you could make a video on a good budget 150-300 range gaming monitor
Bought these 2 months ago. Sound is great. But poorly made. Ear buds pop off almost every time i pull them out. Cable split right down the middle (second time for this company's product) and sound cut out on one side. Company refuses to replace them because the damage isn't "natural". You would be crazy to dole out 100 plus bucks for this shoddy product made by a company that doesn't stand behind it's own workmanship (they called them "sensitive" in refusing my request for replacement).
The tips pop off? Geez, must be a common Sennheiser problem then, since my CX 5.00G has the exact same issue.
elvistheripper Just come across the same bullshit, had then 2 months and the cable split; I thought 2months!!!!Oh it's good they have a two year warranty but apparently the cables just splitting is due to bad use and it's not their problem. 😠😠😠
Luke Busby-Smith I actually fought and got a replacement pair and guess what?? That's right: split in the same damn spot. I gave up. They got me. My usage is riding on a crowded train with some degree of pulling and walking with them in my pants pocket. If a pair of earbuds can't handle that then they ain't for me I guess. On the other hand I bought a pair of Audio-Technica BKS77 and they sound better and are more rugged (and the damn earpads dony come out every time my phones do)
elvistheripper I will try fight for a replacement or a refund as the store I bought them from offered a 3 year warranty but they refused me in their but stated If came in when the general manager is their he could possibly over ride the warrant and refund me; it's ridiculous how they can slap a 2 year warranty on but not stand by it at all. I've had £5 earphones that last longer.
Luke Busby-Smith yup. I feel you. I called the shop every day for a week or so haha and made them give me the ticket number and contact name at the manufacturer to prove the ticket was open. The shop ended up refunding. You might try that or send all of this info to Seinheiser themselves and complain you are getting a rough ride from the retailer. It's too much cash to just write off.
Maybe this set is good for people who never leave the house or move at all. I dont know. They are too dainty for daily commutes in Tokyo. I am
Sure of that much. Good luck!!
I'm broke
Me too :(
DaVinchi .o/ me tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I'm not giving a shit.
First, you have internet.
Second, you have a device capable of accessing the internet.
If you are so "broke", then go sell some stuff, you must have plenty of it.
I love the signature of these as I hear alot of mid-heavy songs and with the momentums i also hear all the other sounds better. For example the constant background base in Heart On by Celldweller is much more magnificant.
What is the best headphones (or earphones) under $100?
-With good overall sound, bass, highs, etc.
-Extremely comfortable with good build quality.
-Not tight on the head.
-For use with Mac products.
Do you have an amp? of you do, Sennheiser HD 598 Should do the trick, If not go with audio technica ath m50x
If you can find them cheap within the $100 range (I found them in one of those airport electronic shops for literally $75), go get the ATH-MSR7s instead of the M50Xs. They're technically more consumer focused than the M50Xs are but you'll get a nicer look, even better soundstage, a more balanced sound signature, and a better seal due to memory foam. Only issue is they're usually over the $100 mark and scalpers still sell them for full $250 MSRP.
It's called MO-MEN-TUM
i read that just as he was saying it 😂
Hey guys, I need some help. Is this a good gaming pc for €1200? Thanks.
*i5-4690, Asus gtx 970, Hyperx Fury 16gb 1866, corsair h100i or CM Nepton 280L, msi z97 g55, corsair CX600*
I want to do a white and blue build in a NZXT phantom 530 and I can't find a motherboard that really attracts me in blue so i went for the msi. To sad that Asus doesn't make blue ones.
I'm get a h105
Get a***
However, watch reviews and benchmarks first
Swiftech H220.
Did you mean a 4690? :D Otherwise, yeah, pretty nice build. The one thing i can think of that would be limiting you, would be the processor. Even a 4790k may struggle in for example a 64 player Seige of shanghai game.
i cant believe im watching this on 2022 because im thinking about buying these today
I'm confused... Yahoo Aviate has been available in Canada for at least 3 months? I installed it back in August from the Canadian Google Play Store and love it to bits.
paused at 1:36
lenextechteps in action
that story in the beginning was the most pointless shit ever. he sai this was either going to incredible or terrible, then concluded with "they are ok". whats the point of that whole one minute story?
Hi Linus, how would you say these hold up compared to the SoundMagic E10?
I'm thinking of an upgrade, but don't know if these are worth the extra cash.. Do they produce a similar sound signature?
Thanks so much and great review! :)
Oliver Liew Anyone else can answer my question..? :(
You should do a review on the ATH-M50's. I absolutely love mine, but would love to see what you think of them.
No need as everyone already knows it. The M50s as well as the M50Xs are pretty good bang for buck headphones with a tiny v shaped sound signature so music is balanced and slightly colored while sound balance is neutral enough to make them good studio monitors.
Of course, the M70Xs as well as the pseudo direct successor MSR7s have a better neutral sound signature and better soundstage but you're not gonna find the M70Xs easily within the same price as the M50s though the MSR7s can be found for sometimes even less than the M50s, which is a steal considering they're also Hi-Res certified
this guy looks like David tennant
+vi rid No
+Rens Schothorst A little, but no.

Hey Linus I Was Just Wondering If You Could Maybe Tell Me If This Pc Is Any Good.
Operating system Windows 8.1
SPECIFICATION

Thanks In Advance.
Also Here is The Website if You Need Any More Info www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/desktop-pc-monitors/desktop-pcs/gaming-pcs/pc-specialist-vortex-hailstorm-gaming-pc-10004709-pdt.html#cat-0
If it's from PC world, don't buy it.
I'd skip the 770 and get a 970, 120 gb ssd is really small. why not build your own?
www.amazon.co.uk/gp/registry/wishlist/25GXQLNENBNM1/ref=cm_wl_huc_view Look at that? much better deal in my eyes
If it isn a i7 i would take a amd cpu there are almost exaxtly the same and cheaper and if it is intel ... Do he realy need watercooling?
I personally have the shure se215's,and the only thing I have to say about using them is that you need to use a good custom eq to get the most out of them. On my one m8,the stock eq made them sound muddy which was the same result on my schiit magni. A good eq fixed the issue and they really started to sound amazing
Dude, your verbal acuity is off the chart. SUBSCRIBED!
BTW, can you'uns please finish the oil bath PC build :-(
Hey I understand that you need subscribers and all but can't you make these puns a little less? Like asking us to subscribe every video is a bit too much.
I sadly cant agree with you
I've been sub for a freaking long time but I can't agree with you at all. I mean it's not annoying and if you don't want to hear it just skip it.
Literally every career youtuber asks for subs at the end of their videos.
DanieleGiorgino Yes, there's nothing wrong with that, but now when he does it in the beginning it just becomes too much.
i said the same thing on one of his other vids its annoying ey
This is a cringe worthy review. Seriously.
Ghazali Sadip why?
Just a quick recommendation for future audio tech reviews and such, listen to the headphones/earbuds with various genres of music and make some kind of chart to show where each one performs the greatest in. That or you could make a whole new segment in your audio videos with the same concept.
make a video Sennhiaser momentum earbud vs pixal earbud 2 which one is best
your video is full of advertisements which makes me not believe in your review ...
umm....OK? The run a business with probably hundreds of thousands of dollars of computer and server equipment and around 10 workers. Do you really think they could get by on UA-cam Ad revenue? They upload on 3 channels. Of course they're going to get sponsors. Don't let this scare you. They have plenty of poor reviews of products they got for free from their sponsors, so I believe they're at least mostly unbiased.
Eric W. whateva...
i just need a genuine review only on a product m looking for...
none of the reviews mentioned specs like sensitivity, frequency range, impedance etc of IEMs.. pfff
mo_onstruck musick does that really matter? you can look it up yourself. He doesn't mention the full specs of graphics cards when he reviews them either, because they don't matter as much as the actual performance does.
Eric W. if the earphones frequency is 20hz to 20khz, it falls in human hearing range.. if the earphone has frequency below 20hz, it will respond to low frequencies clear as compared to one with 20hz.. same with high frequencies ..
the low the minimal frequency is, the better bass response..
so, specs does matter cuz you can not listen to earphones until you have em with you..
About sensitivity - the high the sensitivity is, the more the loudness of the earphones with better clarity..
brainwavz proalpha is 115db..
sennheiser has less than 115db... i guess 100db..
mo_onstruck musick then fuck off and watch another review
for shure, you have to use the triple flange for the best sound
+YIC I see what you did there LOL
+YIC I see what you did there LOL
What sort of stocks do you have
Watched this and bought the Sennheisers. I totally agree; after going from IEs which loop over the ears these are unbelievably uncomfortable. The noise just from moving around feels deafening
I have been through many many headphones while working in a metal shop for the last 10 years. Ive been through all of ultimate ears products up to tf10s. And shures are the only ones that have more than a year on one cable. they don't sound as good as many of my other iems but they are bomb proof. and I'm a cable killing monster.
That first minute though X)
Great review . direct, detailed and objective. I've just made my mind regarding my new pair of in ear headphones. I like bose but its products don't last that much, basically regarding the cable. In the end Sennheiser in ear headphones seem to be more durable and with a decent sound quality. Thanks.
Oil PC PART 2 IS GOING TO BE UPLOADED Monday !
I've used Aviate for some time now and I must say that it is one of the best third-party launchers. It incorporates many convenient functions, BUT I find it difficult to place my own widgets on it.
Btw that yahoo aviate thing is actually really slick! By far the most sensical 3rd party launcher i've tried so far
nice vid :) when is the mineral oil submerged pc build part 2 coming? i rly liked part 1 :)
Excellent video, great production value
Hi guys, I'm no PC expert and this is my first computer that I came up with myself. I want something in the mid range, no need for anything bleeding edge. Something that can run games at 1080p at 60fps. So here goes:
1. Intel i5-4670 - CPU
2. Asus Maximus VII Ranger - Motherboard
3. Corsair Vengeance Pro 1600MHz 8GB (4GB 2 sticks) - RAM
4. Western Digital Black 1TB
5. Samsung 840 Evo SSD 120GB (necessary?)
6. Cooler Master V8 GTS (I do not plan to overclock, still required?)
7. Gigabyte GV-N970G1 GAMING-4GD (Kinda expensive for me, no idea on how to choose a graphics card, alternatives if any?)
Again, please be kind if I'm making any major mistakes in choosing. The graphics card is a huge problem for me as I do not know how to tell which card suits my needs. I do not plan to be a heavy gamer anyway. Please advise! Thank you!
I was thinking whether to get these or the Fischer Audio Tandem. In the end I got the Tandem. I kind of regretted it after I bought the Tandem as I prefer those with stronger bass. Do you guys think I make a wrong decision of choosing the Fischer Audio Tandem? Advice please.
Last night I went to bed hoping the next day the mineral oil cooled pc build part 2 would be here :,(
The first person i heard who liked these sound more than the SHures
These were used by Andrew in ASM
so based purely on sound quality you would recommend the momentum over the shure?I am trying to decide between one or the other, amazon is out of stock of the momentum at time of writing so im not shure( haha shure get it....) if i should wait and get the shure instead
Thanks for the great review,nd yeah they definitely are more fun to listen to than any other earphones in this range..especially shure se215
great review.
How about a 100$ in-ear comparison video?
I mean that´s the pricerange most people buy this stuff and there are just so many competitors on the market...
That´d be great (:
A simple, yet maybe silly, question... Is there a, BIG, difference between these headphones and the CX 275s ones, on noise isolation, sound quality or comfortability? Thanks!
Hey Linus, any chance of a honest review of the new Steelseries Siberia V3 headset?? Thinking it would be a good choice for my PS4...
Linus, what are your thoughts on these vs the Jaybird Bluebuds X in terms of sound signature? Cheers in advance.
Guys on that same set up could you go with: Two Titan Z or Three 980? If you can which one would you go with from those two?
Thanks a million for what you and your team do!
A earphone/headphone should be reviewed when listening on flat equalizer. I think a person reviewing audio equipment should know this, Linus.
Are these good for running or working out?
Damn, thinking of buying these as a replacement for my broken CX 5.00 (they broke after only one month of office use) are the materials any better?
Extremely v-shaped. If you want clear end detailed bass response, these in-ears are great. Highs are so powerful and quite a bit detailed too, but they sound so metallic (like it's coming from a metallic and irritating object). But do not expect detailed mid response along with the bass and treble. However the mid range is ok when there is not much bass and treble. Sound fells so 2D. I mean it's not open enough. It doesn't sounds like it's live. So, in every frequency of sound, I can tell that sound comes from an earphone right inside my ear. Overall, sound is not clear and open enough for its price range but the bass is lovely (even better than ie800).
Heads up: I got the Comply Tx-500 (Compatible with IE8s and IE80s) to use with my Sennheiser Momentum IEs and they're about 1mm in diameter too big. Something to look out for if you're planning to get Comply tips for these earphones.
one of your videos helped me learn how to buy a headset according to what you want and not what the seller is trying to sell to you( i guess Luke was in it).
I really enjoy your videos Linus, funny smart quirky dude. Thanks for quicktips and the build guides, you and TekSyndicate are the reasons I built my first Pc instead of buying an Xbone or Ps4, best decision ever, thanks
It's not an in ear headphone but, I had a Sure SRH840 headphone the sound was great but the pivot point on the headphone broke after one year. The pivot also made a squeaking sound when moved. I replaced it with an Audio Technica ATH M-50X head phone and they fit a lot better and there is no noise from the pivot point.
