"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. ... this song and dance will continue until "oops, you're outside the warranty period, thanks for the $270"."
"Very reliably unreliable ... having two pairs replaced under warranty and still failed on the third."

Drwannabeme 1.0I've had all four generations of the Momentum True Wireless earbuds. The only one that stopped working all of a sudden is the 2nd generation. Not indicative of anything, but it does seem like they have QC issues.
Natural_Hawk5778 1.0Comfort wise I found buds with stem design to be the most comfortable —AirPods pro 3 and B&O beoplay ex—the least comfortable for me would be Bose QC ultra, Xm3, 4, and Momentum 3 since those are very bulky. For ANC, AirPods Pro 3s and Bose QC Ultras are top tier and Sony a lil behind. In terms of sound quality, PI7 S2s, Beoplay ex and HiFiman sounds best to my ears. I usually daily drive either AirPods Pro 3 or Bose QC Ultra along with either Beoplay EXs, B&W PI7 S2s, or HiFimans. (One for good ANC and the other for good sound quality)
stuffeh 1.0Senn 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.
trevorcoreyy 1.0I'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?
badgerrage82 0.9Depends, 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
millertruckin 0.3I 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.
Acceptable-Win-3669 0.0Would 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.
Alone_Sleep3292 0.0Sennheiser Momentum's are great
Complete-Part-4385 0.0same sound is not better but not returning it as i like the hr when exercising. i have momentum true wireless and it’s leap better, but AP3 has a special case use
DisconnectedDays 0.0I used to use Sennheisser momentum true wireless. Audio quality was superior to AirPods Pro 2 but not call quality
