Which is the best and why? How do they compare comfort wise? Which pair is more exciting? Which pair would you buy?
Both Momentum Sr. and Junior are over the ear. Junior is far below the P5 in fidelity. Senior is as good overall, but where the P5 treble is extended, the Senior rolls off and upper harmonics are dulled.
Why don't you go to a store and try a few out and then buy the pair that you like the most? At the moment it's Sennheiser, B&W, Bose etc etc. Take some of your favourite tunes, listen and pick. Then ask the dealer for their best offer, then buy them. Or John Lewis. Buy well, buy once. It's not all about other people's opinions, reviews and bagging a fantastic deal from Amazon Spain or eBay.
Sorry to be rude and harsh fella, that isn't my intention, I just want you to buy the pair that YOU like most.

The thing is I don't have many shops where I can demo, and I have tried quite a few pairs now and sold them or returned them, so I was just making sure I cover all boxes this time. Cheers.JoelSim said:

That's exactly why you need to get to a shop and audition some Gel. For every reason under the sun.

If I know you gel, you WILL return any headphones you buy. 
You don't really need headphones, just want to satisfy your urge to buy something new and shiny!

Which isn't fair to be fair.
I think you're right BB, I still really crave them though. *dash1*bigboss said:If I know you gel, you WILL return any headphones you buy.

This is obviously good advice but I don't think gel has much interest in actually listening to the headphones he buys.
Just do what I do - buy something you can't possibly afford, then come up with creative ways to pay for it and keep it. You get better listening that way, you stretch your brain being creative, and you stimulate the local economy. It's a win all the way around.

An excellent reason to buy them.
I am - maybe - on the brink of buying a camera I don't really need (Sony DSC RX100 III) mostly because it's new and shiny. I already have a perfectly good camera but I want another one.

Will you return it or sell it at a loss within 2 months? Have you failed to save any money in the past 2 years?

I will take photographs with it (in between stroking it and looking up totally unnecessary leather everready cases for me to pose it in!)
I think headphones more than anything else are such a personal thing. I have listened to loads and been prepared to spend big bucks at times, but I always stick with my AKGs in the end as i love the sound. Dont buy headphones on reviews alone, you have to hear them, and I know thats difficult at times.
Yep, I find searching for the right headphones very difficult. I have tried lots of pairs now and I am still not 100 per cent happy. I wish I could take things from some and then stick them altogether for a single pair. I was listening to a pair of Bose on ear headphones in Costco today the OE pair for £95 but wasn't happy with the head bit on my head, it felt uncomfortable. I would like a pair of headphones its just getting it right. I sold my Bose QC25's to fund it too, but now I am all confused again. Last night I nearly bought the B&W p3's and the Sennheiser Momentum over ear pair. Yes two headphones, that's how crazy this is!Womaz said:
