"Sennheiser is busting out a pair of personal audio products worth boasting about at this year's IFA. First up is the very fashionable Momentum, a pair of chrome and leather cans that take cues from the Amperior reference design, with a 3.5mm stereo lead and optional smart remote. However, if you're in the market for something a little less visible, the company's CX 890i earphones are coated in a \"glass-like\" finish that offers \"outstanding\" passive noise attenuation -- sparing you jacking up the volume to avoid your co-workers bickering. Both sets are available in the UK from September, with the Momentum costing &amp;pound;260 and the CX 890i (pictured after the break) a more modest &amp;pound;120. Update: The Momentum will be available in the US later this fall, setting you back $350.Show full PR text      Experience sound with all your senses - MOMENTUM, the new headphones from Sennheiser     Perfect sound can be heard, felt and seen: the new MOMENTUM from Sennheiser's Style Selection combines an excellent sound experience with high-quality material and minimalist style.

Sennheiser made use of established technologies from the high-end headphone sector to ensure a clear stereo sound with excellent detail.

The headset comes in two colour variants &amp;ndash; black and white &amp;ndash; with a matching cable for each colour.
