You need momentum 4 earbuds or devialet Gemini 2 or noble rex5. Best earbuds ever made IMHO

I’ve had a few gens of the momentum buds including This one, most tend to be buggy and die for random reasons but while they work they’re great! I still have my momentum 2’s and they go hard, both 3 and 4 had battery issues in one bud. You CAN crack them open and replace the battery pretty cheap but honestly I just send em back for a refund get my money back 9 - 15 months later

I had the AZ100's for 3 months before they stopped charging. Support was non existent. I'm now using the Senn MW 4, they're really nice, I'm loving the ANC, and the Mic is great for calls. Good price on Amazon Prime right now.

So I bought the momentum 4/Xm5/BD amron 300/az 100/JBL tour live 3. Eventually went with the Rex 5 but thats a different story. Out of those five I had the JBLs as my favorite. By far actually. I still use them for the gym cause water resistance...

I ordered all the popular buds (momentum 4, AZ100, Amron300, XM5, Tour 3) and for me the JBL (SURPRISINGLY) won by far actually. Also really liked the beyern but the bass sucked ass.

The momentum were nice, but way too flat for my liking. They had a very natural sound, clear but flat. I mainly got mine for the gym and listen to the harder styles and metal.

Having kind of a different experience myself with owning CX plus that stopped working and then i bought the Air Pods Pro 2 before going to Momentum 4. Honestly i expected more. The sound quality is good, but i think it could be better, while saying the ANC is spot on is a joke for a pair that costs 200 euros. I have had Xiaomi Buds 3 with the same ANC and we all know how much they cost. For me it was kind of a let down. I loved my CX plus and could say they were the best earphones i used and expected the momentum 4 to be next level in everything and sadly for me they are just not.

Yes, it is a game changer, but maybe i had too high expectations. Momentum 4 is the highest class of TWS earphones and for me they just deliver that

So i am on an Iphone and have owned both in the last year. The momentum 4 TWS are my current headphones and to be honest I expected more. After the Airpods Pro 2 i thought that the MTW4 would be miles ahead but in some aspects they are worse. For me, even with sound personalization the sounds in both is on par and i actually prefer the Pro 2, connectivity is a game changer if you’re using iphone, and honestly the ANC on Pro 2 is miles ahead. I have owned CX Plus before and loved them until one headphone died on me, that is why i excepted so much of the momentum 4, and they kind of disappointed me. It sounds like they could be better and you think being the companies TWS flagman they would be top of the line in every aspect, but for me they aren’t.

Right? I mean they're less than 100 bucks on Amazon but still I don't really wanna buy them. Plus my current pairs are the Status pro X for my wife and the Az100s for me. So after buying two sets of $300 earbuds I just really don't wanna have to buy another pair. I even gave the momentum 4 a chance and was unbelievably disappointed.

*Sennheiser Momentum 3/4 with Sound Personalization - this is the important part - the Sound Personalization option because it puts the customizable EQ to shame. I've been rotating between these (the 3s) and my Liberty 3 Pro strictly for music. Although they're dated at this point, the Liberty 3 Pro are still at the very top of my list for music. Their bass, soundstage, and separation are a step above anything else I've tried, but the Sennheiser has better clarity. What Sennheiser was able to do with only 7mm drivers is nothing short of amazing.

Unless you're already using it, you should definitely try the Sound Personalization setting. It brings these buds to life like nothing I've tried before. I usually always stay away from anything that isn't the customizable EQ, but just for the Sennheiser Momentum 3/4, it's a completely different ballgame. I keep mine set around 5 o'clock and about 1/8th of an inch away from the edge. Give it a shot. I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed.

I almost didn't bother because with every other set of earbuds I've tried these settings with, it's always been more of a gimmick, but with the Sennheiser, it was truly a night-and-day difference.

The samsung, i guess, if you also have a Samsung phone, are OK I have the momentum 4, and for my use case ( i listen to a lot of electronic music ) SQ is very good , very dynamic. Great ANC , good transparency, although they pick wind noise a lot . Great controls and battery life.Connection sometimes is finicky, though. The best overall IMHO I would say is the AZ100, but they wouldn't stay in my ears. After listening to these going back to the AZ80, it felt like half of the music was missing , especially in the mids, but fit security of the fit and comfort much better. My biggest disappointment, though, the Status Pro X. Although the 2 knowles BAs make an excellent job in clarity , speed , detail , the DD is truly disappointing. They have great subbass extension down to 10 hz, I think, but bass and subbass completely lacks in resolution and texture. The subbass also is not as well controlled as you would expect. I haven't tested the bose and the B&W. My favourite earbuds are the Denon Perl Pro .
