Momentum True Wireless 3

Pros : 1. Audio is Great with good base. We normally are not audiophiles, but we can sense whether the music is sounding great. Instruments can be heard separately and clearly. 2. Battery Life is really awesome. After a single charge, it lasted for many days. 3. I purchased the grey one and the dual tone of the buds looks great. 4. They have a rubberised fin that gives a firm grip. I also have AirPods Pro, which after sometime oozes out of the ear and you need to push it back. Momentum stays in throughout. 5. Touch controls are extremely good and never did I have any issues in controlling music or receiving calls. 6. Mic for phone calls is good and the other person never complains. 7. Each Bud can function independently. You can use either one without any issue. Cons : 1. It connects with only one device. To switch to another one, you have to first either disconnect with the first one, or use the App on phone to switch devices. 2. Case, although classy in looks, is bulky to carry in a pocket. 3. Active Noise Cancellation is almost 50% and not as good as AirPods Pro. But good enough to fade out the nearby sounds to give you a more immersive experience. My final recommendation: All in all a great product to buy.

I got this earbud last year a was quite happy with its performance for about a year. Then suddenly the left ear bud stopped responding. I tried charging multiple times, cleaned them as well. But only the right ear bud could pair. The left one was completely dead. Luckily it has 2 year warranty, so I contacted Sennheiser but there is no service centre in my city. I had to courier the product on my own fund. After a week I got the replacement for it. I was quite excited and the new one was working fine. Again similar issue happened after about a month on the replaced item. I got frustrated and raised the complaint and got the 2nd replacement. Till now (using it for a week) now it works fine, but I am really doubtful whether it will survive. I hope that even if it fails it should be within the 2 year warranty period so that I can replace it again. Apart from this issue it’s a brilliant earbud covering all aspects like sound quality, call quality, comfort… but there seems to be major defect in this model. I would suggest to skip this and look for alternatives or wait for the next generation model. In case if you are ready to take this risk, please note down the customer care details including its service centre office at Delhi. Good luck :)

Updated review after a few months of usage: - I'm using these with an iPhone (12) and I haven't faced any hiccups in connectivity or usability whatsoever. They work great together. - I have also been using them with a MacBook and except for one very specific scenario (see cons below) they work great on that too. Honestly, If I could, I would probably have gone for airpods pro 2 for the ecosystem benefits and call quality alone but I belong to that small portion of the population for which the airpods won't fit properly. My only option was to browse through in-ear type TWS buds that would actually fit me. I tried out Sony WF-1000XM4 from a friend and although the sound quality was great to my taste (better than airpods), I thought they were a bit chunky for my ears (quite pocketable with the case though). After extensive research, I finally settled for these due to the following factors: 1. The in-ear stem is slightly longer than other buds in the market which gives me a good fit and nice passive noise cancellation. The wing tips provided ensure that the buds sit in place in my ears. They are also less chunky than the Sony WF-1000XM4. They don't seem to fall off for me during day-to-day use and normal workout. 2. Sound quality is good for my music taste. These are pretty loud and suffice my listening needs at about 50% volume. I like the punchy base and the app provides a basic equaliser to adjust the lows, mids, and highs to one’s liking. 3. Call quality is decent too, especially in low noise surroundings (more on this below). I have been using these for work related calls and they have served me well. 4. The battery life is better than most TWS buds in this range available in the market right now and the charging speed is quite fast for the buds as well as the case. 5. Multipoint connectivity is a lifesaver at work. It can simultaneously connect to 2 devices and I have it connected to my work computer and phone at all times. 6. The touch interactions are completely customisable which is rare to find in most S-tier TWS buds in the market right now. 7. Transparency mode is pretty good if not excellent with a tiny bit of a electronic hissing which becomes noticeable only at highest level. 8. Noise cancellation is actually quite good (contrary to my first impression). Tried it out in crowded cafés and aircrafts and found it pretty impressive. My gripes: 1. The case is chunkier than airpods and Sony and not exactly subtle when placed in the pocket. I have found it especially uncomfortable when carrying around in jeans. I hope Sennheiser works on perfecting the design further in upcoming models. 2. Voice activation for Siri isn't there for iPhone users. Though triple tap on the right bud does activate Siri on default settings. 3. Not the best sound signature out of the box for listening to audiobooks and podcasts. I would suggest turning on podcast mode in the app and amp up the mids a little to get the best listening experience. 4. Call quality isn’t that great in noisy environments. I experimented with the active noise cancellation turned on and off and it seems like although the noise cancellation works really well for you, it doesn’t make much difference for the person on the other end of the call. Most of the high pitch noise will bleed through along with your voice. 5. I use it a lot for google meet calls on my macbook and have noticed that the microphone randomly turns off. I have found this issue ONLY with google meet on mac OS and the same was confirmed by another user on reddit Sennheiser community. Never faced this issue on Zoom calls or while taking calls on the phone. Conclusion: I figured there's really no "best" bud in the market right now. It's a relatively new technology with all the companies pouring in money to perfect their version of the TWS buds (also the reason why they are so expensive). It's really a matter of what features work best for you and which ones you would trade-off for others. My advice is to do a bit of research (since you're spending a lot of money) and shortlist some that you think would suit your needs. Then go out and try them all to decide which one to buy. Tips for Sennheiser Momentum TWS 3: 1. Try swapping different wing tips and ear tips to make sure you have the most comfortable and snug fit. You need to put the buds in and twist them back a bit to lock the wing tips in place for the best fit. 2. Try the adaptive sound check feature in the companion mobile app to see what equaliser setting work best for your listening. Some people might not like the low-mids sound signature out of the box so adjusting the equaliser would help. 3. Try adjusting the touch interactions to suit your usability. 4. Adjust the transparency mode sensitivity to the level that is most comfortable for you to get the most out of it. Attached some pictures to give an idea of the size and fit overall.

I purchased these earphones in April and on the 1st of October they stopped working. When I contacted Amazon they said there is NO warranty on "Global Items". In other words I paid over $200 for a dud item which is now worthless and cannot be fixed! This is an absolute joke and I would be very cautious in the future when purchasing something from Amazon!

This is the second pair DOA - dead on arrival. I kept it on charge for 5 hours and buds won't start. Cradle detects them but it is not powerful enough to start them...

Hi quality sound as Senheizer is excellent for that but these ear plugs are very uncomfortable. I don't have anormal ears and all my precedent ear plugs in many brand never have that problem. The fact is after few minutes the plugs became itchy and I have to remove them. Is that the shape which cause that or the material who cause sort of allergy. I don't know. But deceived for the first time by Senheizer.

Unboxing ----------- The box is an all cardboard affair - nice to see companies moving away from plastic trash since most of the time any case/box is trash. Comes with a usb A > C cable (10cm) 3x Sets of ear tips (XS/S/L) with mediums pre-fitted as normal 3x Sets of ear fins / wings (Flush/Small/Large) Loads of paperwork and a quick start guide The buds come packages inside the lovely material covered charging case, which supports USB-C and Qi wireless charging. The case has a satisfying solid feel to it and the lid holds closed via a reasonably strong magnet Initial Pairing, fitting and use ---------------------------------- Taking the buds from their case they immediately go into pairing mode as is fairly typical and showed up straight away on my S23 and paired as expected. I opened up the Sennheiser app which i'd downloaded and it offered a firmware update, the update seemed to lift the version quite a lot so worth doing. The update needs the buds removed from the case so would recommend making sure they've got 50%+ battery and even though the app said 20 minutes to do, i'd say all told it was closer to 10m. The app unlocks a variety of options: EQ (both old fashion sliders of low/mid/high) and a personalised EQ option in which you select the sound balance you like of a series of music it plays. ANC modes in which you have just anti-wind, full on or off. The ANC here seems very solid and much better than previous products i've used Customise buttons - pick how you want touches / controls to be interpreted Transparancy Mode - letting you hear what's going on either with or without music Sound Zones - Setting EQ/ANC and other settings based on a geo-fenced location. So if you regularly commute or whatever you can set a different bunch of settings for the train vs office vs home etc Fit Test - Plays a bunch of sounds to check how well you've got the earbuds sealed/seated in order to maximise the music. The app / controls all seem responsive and work well. No issues here Impressions on sound / fit / feel ------------------------------------- I used the XS tips + Large wings and the buds sit securely in my ears (a major problem i have with TWS is getting them to feel like they won't fall out every 2 minutes) The sound stage feels wider than most IEM's i've used. Doesn't feel like it's just inside your head but a little wider. No open-back headphones wide but good for In-ears. The sound itself is rich leaning towards warm but only slightly. The default sound without EQ is perfectly fine. The bass is full and pleasant without making anything muddy. The drivers handle the full range well. There's bass-boost if you need more bass but i found that made the sound feel a little duller. It worked better when using EQ sliders. The treble is defined and present without sibiliance The fit in my ears is tremendously comfortable. They're snug without putting any pressure on the antihelix which a lot do and causes fatigue on that part. The wings sit snugly in the cymba concha but again are very soft silicone so provide a degree of stability without pressure. I can definitely shake my head vigourously without the buds working loose and they're sitting here without feeling like i need to adjust them every 2 minutes. I reckon i could easily sit all day with these on Overall ====== Total winner for me. Very happy customer. Will be keeping these as a daily driver for a long long time.
