Sennheiser - Momentum True Wireless (1st generation)

i loved my sennheisers audio quality but the build quality is shit, iv had the momentum in ear tw (original) and the right bud died after about a year, i upgraded to the 2 and the battery life went to hell in under a year as well as the case never seemed to charge them consistently, id have them in the case for a couple days and when i put them in they would be dead. i used the 2s for a couple years despite the issues and skipped the 3s but i got the 4s when they came out and a couple weeks ago the right bud crackled for a day then went out completely so i started using just the left and today it started crackling, its been barely a year for 300$ a pair i expect them to last longer than cheap walmart brand headphones

No. I havent heard of replaceable batteries in earbuds. My Sennheiser MTW1s from 2018 still run.

Yes. You will get 3-5 on a charge usually.

Senn on 4 now? I had a pair of 1s but they kept draining while in case. Complained and they sent a pair of 2s and been fairly happy with them. But the anc is weak and pass through needs some filter for the white noise.

I've had the Sony xm4wireless and Momentum 1 and 2. There is no comparison with the Pi8. It's in a totally different class. I guess Denon would be it's equal?

Depends, just look at Sony as prime example... No doubt it had best of ANC and sound but it is also pieces of trash....Last time got WF-1000XM4 when it initially came out, cost me around RM1200 .... Used it about year then suddenly one side earbuds battery drain like crazy...cant even listen to half and hour of music.... Then I brought sennheiser Momentum 1 with cost of RM800... Last me about 5 years and still going strong until today

I had the Ip7 and as a truck driver they had about a 3hr battery life after 1 year they had some troubles connecting once in a while or one wouldn't turn on the driver. 2yrs in and the batter life was down to about 2 hrs on a full charge. Year 3 they died before we got there the left one stopped being loud and wouldn't match the volume of the right one just after the 2nd year mark. So longevity wise they were not the ticket. This all said I can't find head phones that would match the sound quality I got from them. The senheisser true wireless 1 and 2 were good but not better, Jabra elite 7 are ok but still not better? Beat studio buds plus I find to be very very underwhelming and would take the Jabra over them. Looking into the sonys or the bang and olfsen ones not sure what to do either. I use headphones for up to 12 hrs a day so I am hard on them and have killed multiple different ones.

I have a dedicated Plantronics headset for voice calls. So far, used both Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless and Bose QC Ultra, both are quite bad for voice calls.

Would agree that the AirPods Pro 2 are your best bet. I like the sound from the Bose QC Ultra Earbuds but every 1-2 months one bud loses sound and I have to pair them again. So I don't recommend them. I have Sony WF1000XM4 and like them a lot. But if you are going to get those wait for the release of the XM6 this Fall and then get the XM5 cheap. The other I really like are the True Momentum Buds by Sennheiser. But for iPhones the AirPod really works.

I use a set of Sony WF-1000XM5 wireless buds which are great for me on Windows / Teams; also had some Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless buds which were fine too but prefer the Sony's myself

It is all about fit.  But the elite Jabras, Sennheiser momentum true wireless and ofc AirPods Pro2 are good.  

Mine work fine idk

Gonna leave my frustration here. Going through the exact BS with my 2nd pair. Now working on an RMA for a 3rd pair that I know will fail with the same issue as my previous two. Initially a loud screech blowing my eardrum. Then a crackling like you have a car window open going 80mph. Then the headphone completely fails; no sound. Wish I could do a return, or a justifiable charge-back, because this song and dance will continue until "oops, you're outside the warranty period, thanks for the $270".

Yeah, I had the Momentum's. They did fit ok. But the App and my phone just did NOT get along. They would constantly disconnect. Maybe if no one else comes up with anything else, I will give those a try again. Thank you!

Maybe I should've sold them better but I didn't see any other comments. They stick in my ears great, great sound, great touch responsiveness, very impressive noise cancelling. I believe for the price they're hard to beat. I have Sennheiser momentum true wireless and they're my favorites but also $300, my Galaxy buds FE ,I don't feel like I'm missing much at work or doing stuff around the house.

Hard disagree. Best sound quality there is, and has worked flawlessly since I bought them in may. I use them daily for 1-3h. I also prefer them to the m4's when im out and about, because of the largely improved ANC

Mine won't connect the left bud when I take it out by itself...really pissing me off. I'll be using the right bud and take the left out the case and the led light just stays fucking Red. I have factory reset and updated. They are a week old .

I've had mtw 1 2 3 and now the 4s. Think I might bite the bullet and get the bower wilkins pi8. So pissed off.

Sennheiser Momentum TWS. It even fits perfectly in the pouch that came with the deck, and fits snugly in the space behind the elastic at the bottom of the case.

I’m not sure on what version they’re on, but my Sennheiser Momentum TW’s are going strong and are class for everything - travel and running included. I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards. Pricey but definitely worth buying for a lot as opposed to repeatedly buying cheap.

I know this is a "buy" thread but wanted to save you from pouring money into Sennheiser Momentum any model. Very reliably unreliable....having two pairs replaced under warranty and still failed on the third.

Go for senheisser momentum

Thats why we have Wavelet. But the closer the better. Some of the best I've owned and tried are Beoplay EQ, B&W p8i and Sennheiser Momentum.

Sound: Sennheiser's Momentum lineup, Denon Perl Pros, Technics AZ80/AZ100, and B&W Pi8, in that order (taking into account Sound Personalization and AAT are being used). Everything else on the market, from the typical brands, falls below that line -- APP2, XM5, Bose QC Ultra, etc. Longevity, having tested dozens of these sets, the AirPods Pros are likely to outlast most of the other brands (my first and second gens are still charging well without any discernible issues). I've had battery and charging issues with the XM4s and XM5s, Sennheiser's MTW3 (MTW4 hasn't been on the market long enough to know whether there are any battery longevity issues); Denon is already showing serious battery degradation issues; Technics are in the charging issue camp as well (one or both earbuds often do not charge and need to be reseated often, similar to the Sony's); Pi8 has intermittent connectivity issues. The list goes on. There are outliers like the JLAB Epic Lab Edition, which have excellent battery life and seem to hold up well over time. Surprisingly, these are some of the best sounding and longest lasting buds on the market, for sometimes half the price of competitors. It can't compete with the top brands on tuning, but it gets damn close for the price. At some point, chasing sound quality (and longevity) begs the question, should you just sacrifice wireless connectivity and choose a traditional IEM? Despite owning most of the current premium earbud lineup, I find myself recommending and often daily driving the Epic Labs -- just due to the convenience of the battery life alone. And if that battery starts to degrade, there's enough overhead where I could still potentially get a good amount of time out of them before the issues are untenable.

Person who actually listens to music here, and cares about headphones. Technics AZ100s are absolutely stellar - get them. Oppo Enco X3s (when you are able to buy them in the UK) are cheaper, but absolutely superb. The X2s are some of my favourite ever earbuds. Sennheiser momentums are also very good. Bose quiet comforts are decent but quality wise don't keep up with the above three. Airpods are overpriced and are whitegirl apple product bait. The Sony earbuds noise cancelling is weak and the case battery fails after 12 months for a lot of people.

Sennheiser momentum, on offer now for less than £200, were 300 when they came out. Theyre somehow better than my big bose quietcomfort pair

I find them pretty comfortable, actually. Personally, I prefer them to the Sennheiser ones. They don't disappear in your ear quite like Airpods or Pixel Buds, so there's a slight pressure feeling at first. But with the Sennheiser TW, I actually had earaches, so these are way better for me." Edit: i Hope i understood your question correctly, my English isn't that good

Sennheiser True Wireless Buds and QCY Ailybuds Pro+.. I prefer the Qcys because they are semi inear which fits better to ne and the nc is working nice for that budget earbud. Also the Call quality is better than sennheisers in my opinion ✌🏼
