I'd prefer Momentum On Ear.
I own Momentum over the ear. I listened to Momentum On Ear and HD25-1 II.
Momentum On Ear's sound signature is similar to that of Over the Ear: warm,
smooth yet detailed enough. Its bass is slightly more pronounced than
neutral.
HD25-1 II gives you the feeling it's V-shaped: bass heavier, and treble also
more pronounced, some people say it's strident.
Noise isolation: I feel HD25-1 II is better.
Comfort: Momentum On Ear much better. |

but V WAS actually U and was pronounced U!! the letter W comes from VV, and

so when AA was read as double A, it is extremely close to double U, A
