Depends on what is the sound that you would prefer. Generally most find the Sennheiser sounds darker. Audio Technica is more well-received for its vocal representation.

Hi there, currently there are no earphones with volume control and mic that can support both iPhone and Android together, except if it is a mechanical volume control rather than a digital volume control.

Sorry, think I got the brand wrongly. I wanted to ask if there are any recommendation on Audio Technica. Thanks!!

If you're using with PC and your PC is separate jacks for mic and headphones you would need a splitter to be able to use the mic as all earphones we have that has mic is a combined jack. You can consider the Beyerdynamic MMX41ie which comes with the splitter.

Hi there,
You can give the Fischer Audio Consonance and the Audio Technica CKS55X a try. Both are strong in bass.

Difference between SH Momentum and Momentum On-ear

Hi there,

Is there much difference in sound delivery quality if we compare using them in a quiet place? Thanks.

Perhaps you can consider bluetooth headsets like the Jabra Halo 2 and the Jaybird SB2.

Yes ambient noise will affect the sound quality as noise may leak and thus affecting them.

You can consider the Razer Carcharias and the Steelseries Siberia V2. The Siberia might be better as it is a floating headband which is more comfortable on long-term use.
