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. 💫

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!
