I 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.
i think they are great for music and the anc is also one of the best. they also fit pretty much perfect in my ears. if ur preference is music its a nobrainer.
BUT like the 1st gen they still have white noise and its annoying in a quiet environment. at some point u also will have crackling noises because of the mics when dust gets into them and the permanent anc.
imo they dont sound great for stuff like tv shows, youtube vids, podcasts, etc. they are always kinda too loud kinda too bassy too unreal...voices just dont sound authentic plus THE WHITE NOISE FROM HELL if u lay in bed and just wanna watch some stuff right before sleeping.
i also have sennheisers momentum tw 4 and they sound WAY more authentic in podcasts etc. and have another dynamic for music but they have other downsides which the bose doesnt have.
just my 2 cents
i dont think so the first gen also has it and it never changed
the perfect dailys i didnt found yet. i also tried some jbl's live and tour which i didnt like and some cheaper ones (i dont remeber what all the modells were) in the 100 bucks range... they all werent it
from all i have tested i liked the sound from the sennheisers the most in generell. they are gold standard to me also because of the sound personalization. but they dont rly fit in my ears for a long time cuz they are chonky as hell and they are just not that powerful in bass in higher volumes.
I like my sennheiser MTW4s a lot. Used pretty consistently for a few years with no issues.
I tried the AirPods Pro (3 or 4? Whichever was newer) and their sound quality is like a fm radio from the 2000s in comparison. I’m always amazed how many people recommend them, they sound terrible compared to the sennheiser/sony/bose earbuds.
The only thing that might qualify for “BIFL” though is a good set of IEMs.
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
