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.
Yeah I had MTW2s for 11 months, they died and were replaced with MTW3s under warranty. Shock they also died after 2 months (before id even had a chance to take them with me out of the house) these were then replaced with MTW3s which ended up bricked. So 3 different pairs and 3 different types of failures all from light use
While I love them, they have weak ANC for travel compared to other buds. They have the same dead/weak battery issue that plagued the MTW3. On the upside, they sound better than a lot of other buds, and the wind ANC mode is best in class for wind noise reduction. So will stick with my bose for travel and MTW4 for walks / outside activities
sennheiser tws 3 worked great for 6 months. Then one side stopped charging. Apparently known issue with internal battery. needs a boost which means opening up the ear piece. Tutorial videos on yt. messed up anyway and couldnt get it working. shame for a premium brand. wont touch them again for tws.
I’ve had my nothing ear 2024 model now for 11 months, they are brilliant. Bought them on a sale for 169 AUD at the time, and I’ve had no issues with the charge, they definitely are the best looking in ear headphones in my opinion and the see through case is a lovely finish. Very comfortable also and the sound quality for the price is amazing. As soon as you do your ear test in the nothing ear app the sound is amazing very loud punchy and clear. For the price I don’t think there’s any better in ear headphones out there! I had the Senheiser true momentum 3 bought them for nearly double the price and the nothing ear phones definitely compete. I would have to disagree and recommend.
All Senheiser products come with a 2 year guarantee, register it online and it becomes a 3 year guarantee. My Momentum 2s came out if my pocket while cycling, bounced down the road about 20 metres before I had to fish the earphones out of a puddle. Surprisingly, one still worked perfectly. I sent them in to get repaired and they sent me an email saying they couldn't fix them so they'll send me a new pair of Momentum 3 Pros. Fantastic products and customer service.
