"I love the Sennheiser sound profiles and the clarity and detail that comes through on the highs yet still has good bass response. ... When I listen to songs like Chris Stapleton's Death Row, the detail and scratching of the guitar pick on the guitar strings is present in my MTW4s like no other buds I've tried"
"Now, the MTW4s sound better than my Technics AZ80 and AZ100, which used to be my favorites. ... God damn, Sennheiser, you almost made me miss out on the best-sounding earbuds I’ve ever used. ... The Sennheiser MTW4 offers a wider soundstage, deeper bass, and more detailed instruments. ... After testing, I found that the MTW4 actually sounds way better than the over ear Momentum 4, which was surprising. ... In my opinion, the MTW4 is in the same league as the Technics AZ80. Both have amazing sound quality in their own unique ways, making it impossible to pick a clear winner. ... Overall, the MTW4 and AZ80 have really impressed me with their sound quality and are easily the best in their category."
"i liked the sound from the sennheisers the most in generell. ... they are gold standard to me also because of the sound personalization."

"I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards."
"The Sennheiser Momentum can withstand drops of up to 10 meters (I do climbing)."
"As far as MTW4 reliability they fixed the issues that plagued the MTW4. ... I had a pair of MTW4 and they were fine. No issues. ... Yes I think the MTW4 are reliable. They're basically MTW3 with the issues fixed."

"It's true, they last a few months then stop working. ... Happened to my 4 units."
"they have a disastrous failure rate. ... Three RMAs in just one year is just unacceptable."
"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"."

"It's true, they last a few months then stop working. ... Happened to my 4 units."
"the right bud started to make a small crackling noise and then the sound disappeared. ... The bud connects to the phone and I can control the sound, and the led indicator is on but the sound is not heard at all."
"Very reliably unreliable ... having two pairs replaced under warranty and still failed on the third."

"Until recently, it started to malfunction from time to time. ... The ANC of the right earbud sometimes suddenly goes a little “transparent” and I can hear the noise outside. ... It is not very obvious but it makes you feel the imbalance between the left earbud. ... one day, I literary caught the moment when the right earbud went from normal ANC to abnormal, with a subtle “click” sound. Then I knew it was not my hallucination. ... Sometimes when I put it back to the case and took it out again, it fixed itself, but sometime it doesn’t. ... it’s really annoying to see the beloved earbud malfunction :("
"ANC let through the higher frequencies in the gym with basically 0 attenuation."
"honestly the ANC on Pro 2 is miles ahead."

"if you have smaller ears like i do, borderline unbearable to wear with the weight."
"they dont rly fit in my ears for a long time cuz they are chonky as hell"
"how deep they fit in your ear ... I can't wear them for more than 2 hours without major ear fatigue kicking in due to my ears being slightly smaller than average."

"Unfortunately the mic and call quality are atrocious."
"I also find them to have a terrible mic for phone calls."
"Calls on them sound terrible as well."
1999_peugeot_406 1.0I would not recommend these, especially the momentum 4. The galaxy buds are pretty much locked to samsung phones and the momentum 4 has a horrible microphone(i have a pair and my calls sound horrible). On the note of bass, I can comment on neither, since I use my momentums with a balanced tune, they have less bloated sound.
7777777King7777777 1.0Mtw4 are the best! They nailed it! One of the reasons that I love this brand!
Because when you can buy Sennheiser MTW4 for $300 you don’t need anything else
821835fc62e974a375e5 1.0I tried. I really tried. I bought the Momentum True Wireless 4s and they just can't compete with the Air Pod Pros. Connectivity is hit and miss, sometimes they drop connection for no apparent reason. Noise canceling is mid at best. The interface feels clunky. And the case is bigger. After 3 months I just had to give in and buy a new pair of Air Pods. It sucks. I wish their buds were better. Maybe next time.
Acceptable-Win-3669 1.0For just listening to music I'll take my Sennheiser True Momentum 4 earbuds over the Apple AirPods everyday of the week. Now if you want to talk about seamless integration and if spatial audio floats your boat for video/movies get the Airpods. But they aren't the best sound quality for the money that I've used.
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.
Accomplished-Ruin945 1.0I would highly recommend NOT getting the Sennheiser... I bought them and was severly disappointed with them. The mids and highs are veiled and the bass is muddy...I don't have any experience with the Bose earbuds at all, I refuse to by Bose products, an issue with them that goes back to the late 1990's... I would recommend looking into Status Pro X, Denon Perl Pro, or even (budget permitting) Devialet Gemini 2's. All 3 sound amazing and have very good ANC and call quality.
Accurate-Occasion818 1.0I have the Sennheiser TWS4s ($200 at Best Buy), and bought AZLA SednaEarfits for them. I love the sound (the customization is great, and I also use HD560s for my PC), but they were not staying in my ear at the gym. I tried two different sizes, but no luck. Bought the EarFun Air Pro 4 plus after doing some research ($75 on Amazon), and paired them with SpinFit Omnis based on recommendations. Found a couple of EQs here on Reddit, so I have a few based on what I’m listening to. For what you pay for, the sound is great IMO. There are two ANC modes, and the app is great for eq and button customization. Transparency mode isn’t the greatest (it doesn’t pick up voices well), but it definitely isn’t the worst. I try to cycle between both, but I find myself reaching for the EarFuns more.
I second this. I had a pair of Sennheiser TWS4s, lost them, and got a second pair. Sound is great, but I had an issue with them staying in my ear during workouts. So I got the EarFuns to workout with them (replaced the stock eartips with Spinfit Omnis). The ANC is quite good for a somewhat budget earbud. Especially at a commercial gym. Transparency is not the best at picking up voices, but definitely not the worst. I found some good EQs for them, and now I find myself grabbing them more than the TWS4s. I’ve also been experiencing connectivity issues with the TWS4s, so it’s annoying that they cost almost triple the price, and I can no longer return them. I would definitely buy the EarFuns again. I’ll share my EQs when I get home later. The only bad thing about the EarFuns is that there are no good protective cases (the charging case is slippery IMO). I would prefer a plastic case. I bought a silicone one from Amazon, but it doesn’t fit exact. Might not bother some, but I got OCD. lol
AD2Slayer79 1.0I just bought the MTW4 and love the sound, fit, and all the features work for me. I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max.
$235 I price matched Amazon at Best Buy. They are $229.95 right now.

Advance_Nearby 1.0I'm in the exact same boat as you! 1-2 hours is all I get out of my MTW2s. I recently purchased the MTW4 and the technic 100s I will get them between the 12-14th and I can report back with my thoughts if you'd like?
Will do! I should get the MTW4s tomorrow, and the technics AZ100 a few days after. I'll be sure to pop back in and let you know my opinions! I will say I am no audiophile though
Okay after using these back and forth. I honestly think the technics are slightly better, not by much though. The technics feel lighter in the ear, this does present a minor downside where I feel like it doesn't stay in the ear as well, although I think customizing the tip to fit your ear would fix that. I like the rubber fin on the TMW4s, and it helps it feels more secure in the ear. The case of the technics is far superior imo. The fabric case gets dirty and is a pain to clean in the long run, while the technics case not only doesn't have that problem, repels finger prints, and is much smaller so it's easier to travel with. Without customizing the sound in the apps, both headphones sound remarkably similar, with maybe the slightest edge going to the technics, but it's difficult to say. I haven't played too much in the apps so I can't speak on that. The biggest thing for me. Both headphones are not Master and slave. You can take either bud out and listen with the other in the case which was my biggest compliment of the tmw2. TLDR - they are remarkably similar, you won't be disappointed by either, I think the Sennheiser are better my ears right out of the box, where as I need to mess around with eat tips of the technics to get them to be as comfortable.
I'm not sure I follow what you mean with transparency mode and pausing. I also agree that they felt loose, after switching to the large ear tips, this problem resolved. I use them over the MTW4 100% of the time
anondydimous 1.0just got mtw4s. they work great out of the box. nice ANC
