It is currently the middle of a Midwestern summer, so I’ve only worn them indoors. I originally used the optical output then I changed to the Bluetooth which connects to my Amazon Firestick. Didn’t honestly expect for it be made as sturdy as it was with the price. Would highly recommend, especially for the price! I loved my HD1s, and the Momentum are the exact same headset, both in appearance and sound quality. I think this is just a preference and dependent on if you can get used to it. I have a couple of pair from the early 80s that still wear well. The first time it can take up to 60 seconds to pair the second headphone but it is faster after the first time. Thing is, they are too big in the back. I can wear these with a dress, shorts or jeans and dress them up or down.
