How is the sound isolation?

Not good. If you want isolation, try T40RP MK3. They are closed and should provide better isolation and they use the same driver as the T50RP.

Can you compare sound quality to sennheiser momentum 1.0? I am looking for my first open back headphones.

The T50RP is the semi open model and considered the most neutral sounding. The T20RP is the open back model and considered to have the most bass. The T40RP are the closed back model. As other have said an AMP is recommended these require a little power to drive. Probably the most power hungry headphone I've owned.

How hard are they to power? Will fiio x3 (first gen) handle it?

I have a Hiby r3, Hiby r6 Pro and a FIIO X3 II. The FIIO has significantly more power and drives the T50RP rather well. I am modding the T50RP to balanced to see if the Hiby's can provide more juice that way. I don't like running 100% volume for not enough drive strength. FIIO is a strong little bugger!

Can the smsl sd793-ii dac/amp combo power these to a modest level (not painfully high)?

I'm not sure this helps, but I use a Fiio A3 Amp w/ my Fostex... it gives nice even highs/lows amplification. I use it w/ an iPod nano, samsung phone, and nexus tablet... my computer and laptop drive the head phones fine w/o the amp.
