Consumer Audio MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 Earbuds -Bluetooth In-Ear Headphones for Music ,Calls with ANC, Multipoint connectivity ,IPX4, Qi charging,28-hour Battery Life Compact Design-Black

So I waffled between the big 3 (sony, bose and these) b4 pulling the trigger on these since they went on sale. I originally thought I would try them, return them and then try the others, but these are so good for my needs, I am just keeping them. The good (which is almost everything): First and foremost, the sound is amazing. Its clear/airy has a very wide dynamic range and when properly sealed has plenty of bass and clear highs. The in app eq works well do dial in the sound to suit you. I saw some reviews about these not playing quiet enough, but I've not had that issue, the volume will get as quiet as you want them to. On the loud side, they can get WAY LOUD (thankfully). so many of these newer buds artificially limit the volume (probably to avoid being sued) its super annoying. These don't do that and will get as loud as you could ever need. I've only received a couple of calls on them so far, but call quality seems good to me and my wife could hear me just fine. Noise cancellation is very solid. I'm a woodworker and am in the shop most of the day everyday and these are dramatically better than any other buds I've used and even most of the over ear versions like the 3m work tunes and isotunes (plus way more comfortable). I use a lot of loud equipment like the planer, table saw, miter saw etc along with a shop vac, dust collector and large air compressor and these mute them all to low enough levels that I find myself now turning the music volume down a lot from previous buds. Best of all with these kinds of noises, you cannot tell the noise cancellation turns on, its just there. Turn transparency mode on and off and you'll quickly realize just how much its doing. The only time I hear the anc activate is when I'm using the air nailer. that pop, pop, sound gets muted, but you can hear the anc kick in when its doing it. Otherwise you don't even know its working, things are just quiet. If your view of noise cancellation is to be in the Cone of Silence, these might not be for you. I can still hear my machines running (barely) but they are perfect for the balance for me between hearing things are running for safety and quiet enough not to be distracting, even with multiple different machines running at the same time. transparency mode is solid, and quick with 1 tap on the left bud. It can pause music or leave it playing depending on how you set it up which is a nice feature. My last buds didn't have that, and I'm really enjoying that feature. Comfort is great. I had to switch to the large silicone ear piece and sealing ring, but aside from that they fit well and stay in place while working. I cant speak to how they would work when exercising or running, but even with me bending, stooping, walking around etc, they have never come loose. They're so light you forget about them. Lastly, the app is great with easy to use settings, pairing is quick and reliable and once you learn how to tap the buds to play/pause/turn on transparency mode etc, controls are easy to use and responsive The bad, mainly in the mildy irritating category: firmware update takes Forever. I'm not sure why it takes 20+ minutes to update the firmware on these little guys, but it does. Seems like they could do better. The "Bass Boost" is actually a more of a treble mute. while it does boost the bass a little, what it mostly does is mute the highs to make the bass more noticeable. turn the bass boost on/off a few times while music is playing and you'll quickly hear what I mean. You can eq the treble back in, but someone like Sennheiser should have a better solution than that with their software. The bluetooth range is not great with my Samsung S21 Ultra. With my old Jaybird Tarah pro's which are several years old, I could leave my phone in the garage and walk to the back yard and stay connected. with these I barely get to the end of driveway b4 they start cutting out (maybe 30ish feet or so). Not a big deal for me since I'm almost always near the phone when working, but if you are routinely farther away, might be something to consider. All in all they have been a great upgrade for me and I'm definitely hanging on to them.

I never do reviews of products, but in this case I will because of the price of this product. In the past I bought cheap earbuds. Mostly because I use them for the gym. In the car I usually connect my phone to the radio to listen to the music, so no reason to use while driving. The most expensive brand that I bought was the DR Dre powerbeats. Decent sound at a decent price and great for the gym because they have the hook and will not fall off when exercising. But almost immediately they started having issues with charging. So then I got the Jabra elite 75T. I still have them, no issues with charging, great Bluetooth connectivity, decent active noise cancellation and decent sound. Im happy with them and still work good for the price. I paid $179 in amazon. But I wanted more regarding the sound quality so I started looking at reviews on You Tube and found the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3. Great sound, decent ANC, decent battery and connectivity. I compared them to Sony, Bose and Jabra and decided on the Sennheiser. Well, here we go.... -Sound is amazing, very happy with them - Battery is as expected, I imagine base on the size of the buds, and sound they are putting out. - Wind noise will affect this buds, even with the software that you install will not be able to adjust and get most of the wind noise out. The Jabras do a better job at that -Connectivity..... hahaha, In the gym I had issues when my phone was on the floor and I walked away for about 20 feet to get the wipes to wipe the chair and I had several machines in the way, pretty weird that I would loose connectivity, not cool -Then this really started to get on my nerves, while using the buds I started to get some weird noises, like some interference and after a few visits to YT, I found out the culprit, there is a very small membrane between the rubber attachment that goes into tour ear and the earbud. I have to remove them, clean them and very carefully reglue them in place. Problem solved for a few weeks. Then the problem came back, I just remove them completely and the high pitch noise was gone -This is the nail in the coffin... I bought this in October 2022, in less that a year the left bud stop working, will not charge, cleaned the connections and nothing. Will not charge at all. Right bud continued working and charging normally. I used it for answering calls inside my car while driving in the military base I work. Its all hands free device inside the base. Unfortunately a few days ago it also stopped charging at all. Same problem as the left. So , my advice is do not buy, base on my experience and also others having the same issues on the internet. My Jabras are still going strong, not as good quality sound but they do the job.

I need to be careful here as I have only had these a few weeks and I've only used them about two dozen times, mostly outdoors. First I am a session musician and love and trust Sennheiser and use their HD-650 cans in my studio. Being very critical of audio and desiring a flat response and as a mix engineer I am not looking for any abnormalities in the frequency curve. Just smooth mids and flat, normal low and high end. These buds provide that curve for me yet the bass has plenty of kick and more importantly, clarity. The only thing I have noticed is, when I am outdoors, I have experienced an occasional transmission issue between my Android phone (Music Player Hitch Hike app) and the buds. I suppose this could be caused by something external and not directly related to the buds, but ?? Again I am still getting used to these but the L & R bud buttons which control various features are pretty sensitive and so far, I feel a little shaky navigating, even just pausing playback or advancing to the next track. Again this may be me but the apparent sensitivity of these buttons is a bit concerning. Fidelity wise, these things kick ass but since they are the only pair of buds I've owned, cannot A|B against Bose and other high end offerings. I will say that given the sound quality these are throwing out, I have no desire to look at others. It's all there. So I think they are OK, I just need more time with them, but I will continue to monitor and examine the technical issues I have described here. Review Update: So, I returned the original product thinking it may be the buds that were defective with not allowing me to pause playback. Then (since I love the fidelity) I reordered another set identical to the ones I returned, this after speaking with Sennheiser tech support. They were very knowledgeable and wanted to get this right and suggested I return and reorder. Quality people there. They were not defensive at all. Still, with the 2nd set. the pause/resume playback/next song/previous song issue persisted causing me to now suspect the application program I was using in my Samsung/Android phone. All through this, the volume +/- commands worked. So I installed yet another app from the play store and it solved the problem, however the new app had ads that were relentless so I removed it and began the search for an alternative. I found Musicolet, a great music player app, installed it and everything is working perfectly. So, it was never the Sennheiser buds, but instead this one Music Player app that would intermittently fail to respond or recognize the Bluetooth commands being sent by the buds. I'm not surprised at all this as I have used and trusted Sennheiser products during my entire career in music. Just glad I finally resolved this problem. I know these are a bit pricey but if you are very discerning about sound quality write the check. I'm hearing stuff in commercial mixes that I have not heard previously. Long live Sennheiser...

I bought these about 8 months ago and I liked them when they were new but the small issues really add up to make it a frustrating product. TLDR; Sound quality is good Noise cancellation is very good battery life is good The App is troublesome (and required) The charging case is bad They are not Sweat Proof Sound quality of these is good, I wouldn't say amazing, but the only complaint is that sometimes one ear will just swap to 75% volume of the other one and then bounce back up later. the sound definitely feels a bit flat, especially with bass heavy music, but they are earbuds. Noise cancellation is very good. I use these at the gym and at work, at the gym the natural gym sounds sounds like a fan in the next room over. At work I don't notice any of my coworkers making phone calls or talking among each other. Battery Life is good, it seems to last long enough for most activities, and the case holds charge well, as I've left them unused for 2 weeks and they still were showing full*. The app is a problem. The required app is not good for troubleshooting any issues and you have to do a lot of troubleshooting. The app has been known for being deceiving, the power display rarely works well, it often shows you connected when you are not (and vice versa), there is debate online that the sliders for sound adjustments don't actually do anything, They update drivers on these commonly (30 minute download and install) and if you don't have the most up to date drivers your earbuds will connect and show everything is good, you just won't get sound. you can use the touch connections to go forward, skip a track, back, volume up, transparency mode on/off, and it will tell you you are connected, but you won't get sound. (and for some reason it wouldn't let me download it unless my battery was above 35%) Large parts of the app are locked behind creating an account, simple stuff like sound testing is unavailable without one. When going from music to a phone call and back to music it messes up the sound. there is a distinct sound difference when you are on a call vs music, and for some reason it doesn't seem to realize you are no longer on a phone call when you resume your music. The Charging case is bad, it looks kind of cool in my opinion, but the earbuds do not settle in easily and often require me double checking if they are charging. For some reason, about 75% of the time i cannot charge them with the case closed, you have to leave the top open or else they wont charge most of the time. You can only charge it using the exact black USB-C connector, I've tested 4 different USB-C connectors and only the one that came in the box actually charges it. They are not sweat proof, after 60 minutes of going hard on a cardio machine I often get terrible sounds coming through the earbuds every 30 seconds or so, very similar to the sounds you get when you sent earbuds through the wash. I regret buying them, and will not be recommending them to anyone going forward, its just too many little problems that cause issues.

*sigh*. It is with a heavy heart that I only give 3 stars for the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 (TW3) earbuds. I really like the Sennheiser sound profile, and this was the third Sennheiser item I'd purchased, one being wired over-the-ear headphones (HD 4.50) and the other was their wireless over-the-ear headphone, the Momentum 3. I was looking for even more mobility than the over-the-ear Momentum 3, so I purchased these as soon as they were released. Although not the most comfortable in the ear, they were OK, and the sound was great. However, over time a few things have become apparent that brought me to this review, a year and a half later. As a user, I probably had them in my ears 3-4 times a week, no more than about 1-2 hours at a time on average. My issues: 1) The earbud holder is a bit bulky, and it doesn't fit in your pocket very well. 2) I noticed while outside the house, the sound would cut out for just a brief moment. Not sure if this is a TW3 issue or a wifi issue (my phone was clipped to my belt while outside, so it wasn't a range issue). 3) Speaking of range, the range between the earbuds and phone was not as good as I'd hoped it would be. Other earbuds have proven to have better range in my house. 4) This has been reviewed elsewhere by those more knowledgeable, but the noise canceling is good, but not the best. When I mowed with the TW3s, I needed to put construction ear muffs over the TW3s to block out the noise of the mower to the point where I could listen comfortably. I recently purchased the Sony WF-1000XM5 true wireless earbuds, and the noise cancellation is much better with me not needing any ear muffs to assist (the XM5s sound is very good, but I do prefer the TW3s for sound). These three issues were annoying, but not dealbreakers as the sound was very pleasing to me and I was able to work around these shortcomings. However, there is one big issue that I cannot get past. 5) Early on I noticed that if I didn't keep the contacts cleaned, especially on the right earbud, one of the earbuds may not charge at all. This was really annoying, as it wasn't like my ears were dirty, just the typical wax (I do clean my ears regularly). It was almost like the wax would prevent the connection, or perhaps the earbud just wasn't making good contact with the charging case. At first this was really aggravating, but I tried to make sure to clean the contacts regularly, and it seemed to go OK. However, the last two weeks I have been trying to charge the earbuds, and the right one will not charge at all and it is completely dead. I have cleaned the right earbud contacts and case contacts several times, but no go. So, because of 5) above, I am giving the TW3s a 3 star rating, and that is mostly because the sound is really good and when they were working they weren't perfect, but they were very good. I have since moved on to the Sony WF-1000XM5s, and, briefly, I can say that the case is slimmer and fits in the pocket fine, the earbuds themselves come with various ear tips and I have found them to be pretty comfortable, once I get them situated, which can be a bit of a pain for me. The sound is very good, and you can tailor it, but it's not quite up to the Sennheiser in my ears. The noise cancellation of the XM5s is MUCH better than the TW3s, which was absolutely something I was looking for. Thanks for reading!

I very rarely write reviews, but these Sennheiser earbuds have been such an annoyance that I am compelled to make an exception. The GOOD: Sennheiser makes very high quality headphones and these earbuds were advertised as likewise having excellent sonics. That is true and they sound wonderful with uncompressed, high resolution music. The UNACCEPTABLE: The control app contains a fatal design defect, namely, it is impossible to disable all touch controls on the earbuds themselves. Even with careful study of the owners manual and a lot of practice, the touch controls on the ear buds are so hair-trigger that accidentally touching them causes call hang-ups, can turn one earbud off, can mute the ear buds, will cause you to answer calls that you may not want to take, etc. When the ear buds are worn for lengthy periods of time, they tend to cause itching (a normal, foreseeable event) and if you have calls that last beyond a certain length of time, it will at some point become necessary to remove the ear buds to itch the ears - this results in accidental hang ups most of the time, even if a cloth or gloves are used to put a barrier between the fingers and the ear buds. Again because the control functions were poorly designed, these ear buds frequently require docking in their case because one will "un-synch" from its connection. If this occurred only after a few hours out of the base, it would perhaps be expected, but keeping the ear buds near their bluetooth source (an i-Phone 14 Max Pro) and wearing them for mere minutes can cause one to suddenly disconnect. These ear buds were not adequately tested and de-bugged before release - they absolutely cannot be used for business calls (or other important calls) due to the inherent unreliability described above. I also own the iconic Sennheiser HD 800 S open-back headphones, which are superb. These ear buds, on the other hand, were very poorly designed and rushed to market - BUYER BEWARE.

After purchasing Noise cancelling headphones (Shure AONIC 50, I have a review up of those as well) I realized that there were certain situations where headphones would not be ideal. I primarily use these outdoors, and running errands. I also have used them for sleep as well to varying degrees of success. It's a blessing to be able to pull these out of their container and put these on if I'm needing sound deadened from outside while eating, reading, or even walking through a grocery store or sitting in a waiting room where the medical providers seem to believe that a television blaring home improvement shows is "soothing" to the folks sitting there. Sound wise, they kick ass for what they are, if you're an audiophile it's not perfect, nor can they be. They're Bluetooth, and they're earbuds so don't expect them to sound like a pair of HD600's or AKG's, or your favorite set of headphones. Also, if you play garbage, such as low bandwidth streaming, or audio sources, you will know it as they are very unforgiving, and can be a bit disorienting. I was getting a warbling between the two earbuds and thought it was a problem with the earbuds, but I tried on a set of wired headphones and got the same effect which meant it was the source material and not earbuds. The biggest knocks I have on them are both frustrating, as they could and should be corrected. First the earbuds are rubber and work well enough, however if you are walking or moving briskly, you will get the feeling of them falling out, and in some instances I have had them fall out. This is easily rectified getting 3rd party ear tips that grip just a little better. This actually does help with the noise cancelling as well in some instances as well. If you're going to charge folks the amount of money that these cost. $20 for replacement eartips off the bat is annoying. Also, and this one can be a deal breaker for some folks. The charging of these earbuds can be frustrating. I had to use the trial and error method to finally determine that you can have it charge ONE bud and not both. So every time I put them in to be recharged i have to put one in. let it sit there for 30 seconds, if the glowing orange/yellow LED stays pulsing, it means its charging. Then I have to remove it, and try the other... and perform the same test. Sometimes all it really takes is wiggling them in the socket to make sure the connection registers. It's frustrating as you shouldn't have to waste 90 seconds to make sure your earbuds are charging. I had multiple nights where I put them in and they stated the battery was low even though it looked like they had charged. Since I've gone with the method above, I have not had this issue. Noise cancelling is very good, there are certain frequencies that seem to get through no matter what I try. My spouse uses a humidifier and if it is running at medium or high, I still hear it even with them in with my own white noise to block it out, it isn't severe, but it is there. Honestly, they sound and perform well enough, that even with those pretty big knocks above, I am keeping them as I've found solutions to the issues. Some folks will potentially go for the Apple and Sony alternatives but I've found that neither of those pass the sound tests for me personally. Pros: - Incredible sound from earbuds. - Great Noise Cancelling - Smaller than their prior version which was just too block-y to be of use for me. Cons: - Need to purchase replacement tips to get full enjoyment, and comfort from them - Charging can be incredibly frustrating and should be rectified by Senheiser sooner than later.

Sennheiser TMW3 wireless earbuds - Best sound quality for wireless earbuds If you’re looking for the best sound quality in wireless earbuds, then look no further. I'm currently an iPhone user and so options are a bit more limited for listening to wireless earbuds compared to on Android phones. We don't have the option to listen to the various higher rate codec's that most of these high end earbuds offer, such as aptX Adaptive. We also don't have the options of EQ apps that Android has, so its very important that the earbuds do have an Apple app released for them (which these do and its one of the best). I purchased these Sennheiser TMW3 earbuds for full price $250 in 7/2022 and over a dozen other pairs at various prices ranging up to $400 (including Sony XM4, Linkbuds S, MW08 Sport, Technics AZ60, Bose QC, Airpods Pro) and these sound better than all of them, they're pretty amazing to listen to and have me playing all types of music just to hear it through these earbuds. That's how you know its a good listening experience. Sound Quality: Like I said the sound quality on these is top notch for wireless earbuds. They beat out $350-400 pairs and everything else. The sound is very clear in a way that nothing else matches, the vocals are exceptionally clear compared to other wireless earbuds and the instruments are separated in a way that you can hear everything individually. These also reach the loud volumes that I enjoy being able to crank it up to, which the Sony pairs were seriously lacking as their max volume was still pretty dang quiet and is a major reason I did not keep them. These are truly a joy to listen to and I will be keeping these as my primary pair of earbuds. Comfort: The design of these is comfortable for me personally, the shape is a little different from most other pairs that I've tried but they fit in my ears well and stay there. No discomfort even after wearing them for long periods of time, they're fairly light and I can pretty much forget that they're there. Charging Case: The charging case on these is a bit thicker than something like the Airpods Pro and though it will fit in your pocket it wouldn't be my first choice as a pocket carry for everyday usage if that's your primary function. For a small case to carry in your pocket I'd go with the Airpods Pro for Apple users or the Technics AZ-60 in this same price range, if pocket-ability is more important than the best sound quality. Or go for these Sennheiser and get something like the Cambridge Audio Melomania 1+ for a cheap but quality secondary pair to carry in your pocket, which is what I did personally. The Sennheiser TMW3 carrying case is very nice quality though, with a fabric coating that no others have. It feels very sturdy and well made. Battery Life: The battery life on these is pretty great rated at up to 7 hours playtime for the earbuds and the case holding 21 hours for up to 28 total. I will say that these products usually give a timespan that's a little above reality, I haven't clocked my personal usage but I'd just expect maybe 6 hours or 5 with Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) feature on and depending on volume. Active Noise Cancelling (ANC): The ANC is one of the better ones out at the moment, it works well and is only eclipsed by the Bose QC earbuds or Sony XM4. If ANC is your primary concern, then I recommend the Bose QC especially for iPhone users I do not recommend the XM4 as you're not able to access loud enough volumes or their LDAC codec which is supposed to improve sound quality. Touch Controls: The touch controls on these are great, especially compared to most other earbuds. They're easy to tap, compared to something like Airpods Pro which I find a nightmare. The controls are also customizable through the app so that you can choose what each tap on them does, it does not get better than this. Sennheiser Phone App: The app for these earbuds is great and full of features, maybe only beaten out by the Sony app though its close in my opinion. Most importantly there is an EQ feature that you can customize, or use one of their custom presets. There's also a sound zones feature that allows you to automatically enable different settings based upon your location, say if you usually use one setting at work and another in your home you can let it automatically change or disable this feature if you prefer. Conclusion: In testing over a dozen pairs of wireless earbuds ranging in price up to $400+ (MW08 Sport, Sony XM4, Sony Linkbuds S, Technics AZ60, Bose QC, and more) this pair of Sennheiser TMW3 clearly is a step above them all. This pair is my personal favorite that I will be using as my primary headphones and 100% my recommendation to anyone I know.
