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.
Comfort 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)
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
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.
Sennheiser Momentum's are great
same 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
