Find a parametric equalizer for more fine-grained control and try adding a 5 dB peak at 4 kHz, Q 2.0. Make sure to set the preamp to -5 dB as well. Connect your earphones to your PC and set up Equalizer APO/Peace GUI if you need to. If doing that makes the Momentum sound better, the issue is that you don't like its tuning.

Awesome. I’ll try that. Thanks for the req.
So I gave up trying to have a “universal” setting at the computer, and control the EQ in the headphones. Instead, I’ve now set the headphones to no EQ, and I’m using the PEQ in iTunes with some settings I found for “clear and balanced sound”, along with the recommendation to boost the 4K range for the Momentum 3, and I still miss the dynamics of other headphones, but the sound is MUCH better and faithful to the recording. Also, seems to fit several genres without much tinkering. Named it “Sennheiser”, and called it a day…
The Fender premium audio, at least in Volkswagens a dizen years or so ago, is actually Panasonic, which is pretty good. Source: I sold Volkswagens when they switched from Dynaudio to “Fender,” and Panasonic made Technics, and also the cool little portable cassette player I had when I was 13, lol.
Thanks for the info. It does sound really good for a car stereo.
Yeah, I liked it better than the Sony premium audio that I have in my car.
