V-Moda Forza Metallo vs Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear

The V-Moda Forza Metallo has amazing build quality for in-ear headphones. The earpieces are made from CNC-forged aircraft metal which gives makes them really solid yet still fairly lightweight. The cable is also reinforced so it will not break easily even if twisted a little too much. These in-ear headphones can definitely survive being stuffed in a pocket or chucked into a bag.

It gives users extra functionality which includes pausing or playing tracks, skipping to the next or previous tracks, adjusting the volume and more.

The sound signature has deep and powerful bass, giving you a lot of thump from bass drum hits and other low frequency sound sources. Highs also have good detail and airiness to them. Also notable are the mids which are a bit forward so vocals can still be easily appreciated despite the powerful bass and the crisp highs.

They're enjoyable to use for a wide variety of music, but bass heavy tracks are what they will work with best.

With every purchase of these headphones, you get a stylish carrying pouch, a number of different ear-tips, ear hooks and ear wings as well as a cable clip to minimize cable movement.

You can wear these in-ears like you would standard in-ear headphones, but if you want to keep them more snug in your ear, you can choose to attach the included ear hooks and wings which will provide better fit and help them stay in place in your ear better.

Not only does the cable reinforcement add durability, but it also helps prevent the cable from tangling. The cable has good flexibility and has little memory, so it is not likely to get tangled up while inside your pocket or bag.

You get a number of ear tips which come in different sizes. It should be easier for you to find a pair that is able to provide a good seal and should result in optimal sound and improved noise isolation.

The Momentum In-Ear's build features metal on the part of the earpiece that goes into the ear, while the rest is made out of quality plastic. This combination makes the headphones quite durable yet still lightweight.

The in-line remote can adjust volume levels, play or pause tracks as well as answer or end calls.

You do not have to pull out your phone and remove these in-ears to take a call thanks to the in-line microphone. Voice quality is very clear, so you should be easily heard by the person on the other line.

It has a V-shaped sound signature so the bass has good rumble and power while the highs have good detail without coming off as harsh. The mids are slightly recessed but still have good presence, so vocals and guitars, though a bit soft sounding, still sound good.

This sound quality works great for a wide range of music, but bass heads especially will love the low-end rumble and punch that these headphones can put out.

They're durable enough to be chucked directly into a pocket but if you want extra protection then the included carrying case can provide it. A cable management tray is also included to keep the cable under control.

The Momentum In-Ears feature a flat cable which has good thickness to it and is quite soft and flexible. It should not break easily, and the integrated strain relief hoop on the earpiece will help prevent the cable from accidentally detaching from the earpiece housing.
