Sennheiser - Momentum 3 Wireless (M3AEBTXL)

Thanks for your review, I also own a M3 and I’m upgrading to the HDB 630’s so this was very insightful :)

So I had the Momentum 3 (now broken), have the Momentum 4 and the Sony MX6s. The M3s I had issues with the NC on max settings, even though I sent than to Sennheiser multiple times. The M4s held up a year of daily use. While the fabric on the headband broke after a few months, at least the rest kept working. Then the NC broke, too (one ear was always making a noise like someone blows into your ear, ehhh). I sent them to be repaired but got a replacement from Sennheiser. Also keep in mind that [Sennheiser sold their consumer audio department and was fined for price fixing](https://www.bundeskartellamt.de/SharedDocs/Meldung/EN/Pressemitteilungen/2025/05_07_2025_Sennheiser_Sunova.html). In ym opinion, that seems reflected in the M3s having a much more solid metal headband while the M4s have much more of a plasticy feeling. I bought the MX6 because my brother has them as well as my wife. Have them for a few months now, working perfectly. Their ear cups are a little smaller, but their NC is even better than the M4s. So can recommend. Their headband is also not coming apart (yet). But, while they are working, all of those are good headphones. I'd just recommend to be careful with the Sennheisers.

If possible (i know its not always) go and have a listen to some. I use the sennheiser momentum 3 and they sound good to me. Metal in parts of the build make them feel better quality. I personally liked their sound signature over the Sony's.

This is me except I got the Sennheiser Momentum 3 and Elgato wave 3. Though they are pricey, it was 100% worth it to have something commuter friendly.

Where there's a will theres a way! Personally I love my Sennheiser Momentum 3 Over Ears for a Bluetooth option.

Personally I can game with them comfortably, the design is a little lighter than comparable models, the earpads are super cushy too, very soft and comfortable. Its a kind of leather/pleather type of cushion, so it can get a little warm and you might sweat, but I've even worked out with them before when my earnuds were dead. I feel like the sound quality is where they really shine though, its not quite the HD800s in resolving detail, but its close and the bass blows those out of the water. Ive tried the Sony and Bose OE Bluetooth models as well and prefer the Sennys. It works well for phone calls too, so I'm sure it would work well for gamechat.

Damn that sucks, glad you're happy with them! Oddly the 3s test a bit better than the 4s and have a drastically different design, they went more conventional with the 4s. But id still say theyre a better option than the typical Sony or Bose noise canceling Bluetooth sets.

Probably a set of Bluetooth headphones or earbuds. The Sennheiser Momentum series over the ears is great for, I have the 3s, I also have the Status Between 3 ANCs, and they're amazing for buds.

That is an amazing tool! I was able to compare two of my favorite sets, amazing how close the performance of the Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless comes to the HD800s while absolutely spanking it's big brother in bass response. I used to think I might be tripping thinking it sounds almost as good as a set that costs over five times as much, but the data checks out! Crazy performance for a Bluetooth set. That being said, the Momentum 3 Over Ear has better performance than the 4 and usually costs more for that reason, even though it's the older model.

I own and use both of these sets, I've always found the detail on the Momentum 3s to be phenomenal and almost as good as the HD800S, it most definitely doesn't have the soundstage provided by the open backed HD800s, but the detail and clarity of the HF is nearly as as good. The point i was trying to make is it performs nearly the same, better in some cases while costing five times less.

momentum 3 też są super, nawet lepiej wykonane niz 4 i tanie używki. 4 maja za to lepsze anc.

I've had my Sennheiser Momentum 3s for over five years, used almost daily. They sound and feel amazing, have a great battery, and show very little signs of wear. I paid $430 for them, they are now on [Amazon ](https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-Momentum-Wireless-Cancelling-Functionality/dp/B08B3MJBW8?th=1)for $200. Strong recommend.

I highly recommend the Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless noise cancelling headphones. Nice thing about them is you can turn the noise cancelling feature on or off, which is handy. With the noise cancelling off, you can muffle the sound of the environment, but still hear what's going on around you. I use that setting most of the time, including the shop. The only time I turn it on is when I'm on an airplane or really want to tune out the world. I fancy myself an audiophile, and they have a nice balance between sound quality, comfort and price. I have the older version though, can't vouch for the current one. BTW, when I'm in the shop I never play anything distracting, like music. Just sports talk, podcasts, that sort of thing. It just takes a second of being distracted for something bad to happen.

I had the same issue with Momentum 3 headset. I ended up buying used a Sony XM3 headset and replacing the ear pads. Been rock solid for years now

i use steelseries arctis nova pro (older version as newer ones are smaller) mainly as they have very low latency sennheiser momentum 3 also fits over the index but has to be used wired as Bluetooth is way too slow my wife uses hyperx cloud 2 with the cable zip tied to the back of the headset and using the frunk usb - they seem fine for the money (like 15% of the cost of the other two )
