Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 1. They sounded the best of any earbud I have ever tried, ever, and the fit is perfect. I have tried many - Technics AZ80, DenonPerl Pro, Bose Ultra Open, Bose Quietcomfort, AirPods Pro, Sennheiser MTW3, Jabra Elite 10, Jaybird Vista, and others. None were better than what I already have, the MTW1. It’s a real shame that the later generations of MTW were not nearly as good sounding to me as the gen 1. It sucks because my MTW1 battery only last about 30 min these days, but I still use them when I want to really “listen”, because the sound quality can’t be beat. I would buy them again in a heartbeat if I could find another pair with a battery that was guaranteed fresh.

I've got the MTW1 and MTW4. The 1's won't hold more than a few days charge anymore (at 3hrs use per day), but they are more comfortable for long wear time and sound better. But I can't prove any of that.

I'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.

I still have the OGs and they work fine. Yeah, I have to charge them every time I use them but that's ok because I mostly only wear them in the gym and it's become part of my routine. I just love the sound and they stay in my ear when I run.

Well, my MTW4s sound great but I will agree with the statement best for its price point. There are still competitive great sounding buds out there. My MTW2s still work, my 3s do not but my MTW1s still work unbelievably ngl. I must be an outlier case. If my Sennheisers works, I'll listen. 💫

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 mtw since they came out. 1 2 3 and 4. Xm6 I bought 2 weeks ago and regret not having moved over sooner. Spatial audio is next level!

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
