Got a new pair a couple of days ago (i've previously owned them for a while already in May) and am facing none of the issues mentioned here. Seems the latest firmware really has fixed a lot. They do charge normally and don't connect to the device while in the case transparency mode works well with one bud usage, bluetooth stability in general has improved a lot, as has ANC and ANC stability. Great set of buds now. Multipoint connectivity and a "High Resolution Audio mode" have also been added in that firmware (version 2.10.19).

[@KevinCaicedoRomero]

I agree, the new firmware update has literally improved everything, I bought them yesterday, and I loved the "High Resolution Audio mode" that you can activate on the settings sounds amazing, I highly recommend these over AirPods Pro, or Sony headphone if the sound quality is the most important to you

@@FoggyEntertainments You're quite welcome. Just finished watching, but I was wondering if you'd tried to get ahold of anyone at the company directly to see if they do, indeed, plan on updating the software/firmware for these buds? It would be interesting to hear their thoughts if one was able to get in touch with someone directly. Other than that, I would say that you gave a very well done, in depth, well thought out review. I love how you actually took us to your job site and showed us the torture they had to compensate for especially given that they are audio devices! That was pretty intense, for sure!

I've had my pair 3 months and they work great, and the latest firmware made it better. Charging issues happen when you need to clean ear wax off the contact points. The 1 real flaw is the wind blast noise I'm transparency with any motion. Transparency mode is only good if you are stationary, like sitting at a desk.

I really appreciate you mentioning the flaws of this headphones but they still did not dissuade me from purchasing them primarily because if these issues are as severe as you said, Sennheiser will patch them in an update very soon. The sound and comfort (from other reviews) is why I purchase headphones and Sennheiser is my go to brand. I have the in-ear momentum wireless 2, overear SENNHEISER MOMENTUM 2 WIRELESS and SENNHEISER MOMENTUM 3 WIRELESS. Thank you once again, glad I found a second and different opinion. Oh wait, just found out that they updated them a week ago.

[@CthRage8946]

This is the same for me. Last year I bought buds2 pro, and unfortunately, I'm disappointed with the pros. The pros sometimes disconnect after they aren't used much. You can sometimes experience connection issues when you charge them fully. Let's say you get them at 100-after that... one bud is off, and connectivity goes through the other; the left becomes the right one, and the right one controls everything. Also, the ANC is not what is promised by Samsung: alongside this, the ''360audio'' may or may not work. I didn't meet any problems with the Sennheiser's audio. That audio is just a killer. Just the thing you need and would want to purchase. Plus, you would get the chance to customize the sound as much as you want. I sincerely recommend you rethink if you wanna buy the pros.

[@cebrium]

Glad to have stumbled upon this video. Had the same charging and playback issues with my Sennheiser True Wireless Version 1. I thought Sennheiser was able to rectify this issues with the second version but it seems that it is back on this iteration of the buds.

[@paulyt3339]

I bought the Momentum TW4 last week. Yes, they sound good but I returned them because they hurt my ears. I went with the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and I can say they fit (me) incredibly well. For the miniscule difference in ANC and "sound" I would highly recommend the Buds 2 pro. I own the Momentum 4's and they're incredible, so I do love the Momentum sound signature. What's interesting to me is that if you want the best sound you should go with over the ears headphones. Earbuds are for talking, travelling, commuting, working out, etc. Sound is important but I think it's secondary and at the higher end there isn't much difference. I think fit is the most important thing for earbuds, you need to be able to wear them long term.

[@gamechanger114]

I agree most people would be better off with the Galaxy Buds Pro 2, due to their comfort level in ears. But also, any earbud will eventually cause ear fatigue/pain. For me Seinhieser Momentum TW3's last about 1-2 hours before I feel like I need to take them out because of ear fatigue/pain. For the Galaxy Buds Pro 2, they feel like they can stay in my ears without much ear fatigue/pain for anywhere between 4-7 hours. I've only had the Buds Pro 2 in my ears for as long as 4 hours. 90% of the time I only wear earbuds for 2 hours or less... Sound quality is good on both, but tbh Seinhieser is clearly better than every earbud I've tried. If you solely care about sound quality: 1. Seinhieser Momentum TW3 (10) 2. Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro (9.5) 3a. Bose Quietcomfort II (8.5) 3b. Galaxy Buds Pro 2 (8.5) If you solely care about comfort/fit: 1a. Galaxy Buds Pro 2 (10) 1b. Bose Quietcomfort II (10) 2. Soundcore Liberty Pro 3 (9) 3. Seinhieser Momentum TW3 (8.5)

My MTW3 stopped charging within 1,5 year. Seems when they are fully drained after not using them for a long time they won't come back on. KZbinr Alex shows how he takes them apart and jump-start them with a set of tripple A batteries. They have to have a minimum voltage to charge again.

Thank you for this very comprehensive review of the Sennheiser MW3.

I've definitely had similar issues, but this quality is unrivaled to me. I love them. But I've had to manually reset them so many times, I might just need a new pair. But for my money, there's nothing that fits my sound, look, and ear feel. Great vid though, keep it up

[@JRez-sn4sk]

Wish I would have saw this review before I got them. The sound is great but all of the others override them. I experienced similar to what you covered: ear pain and they also start to slide out my ear, no matter what combination of tips and fins I use. Connection is unstable and I often find myself having to repair them. The charging is incredibly annoying: sometimes just the case charged and the buds don't. I also feel the battery life is nowhere near what's advertised, a few gym sessions with them and it's already time to recharge. Just really disappointing all around.

Hell yea bro. They're worth every €. They sound the best, with barely any competition. No brand can beat the Sennheiser. All though, there's a big problem. I just got the right one stopped working. Same happened to my CX Plus True Wireless. I don't know what's wrong. Sensitive/faulty electronics and tech in them. Everything started with the proximity sensor in my case. Until one of them just dropped dead. Time to call upon the warranty. They'll have to send me a new one, as this can't be repaired unfortunately.

[@bastischweini7805]

what sense does it make to use ANC with 1 earbud ??? You can easily turn to transparency mode with one touch. Have you done a complete reset to solve the problem with mixed ANC and transparency mode and also charging ? Never had any of your issues. If a reset should not help then you have a defective pair of earbuds.

[@FoggyEntertainments]

I makes no sense to have ANC with one earbud. With both earbuds out of case and in my ears ANC is absolutely an easy one touch, in fact I love that. But with one earbud in the case I do not have the ability to use transparency mode.

Asking this because I genuinely am trying to understand the usage scenario where I would need transparency mode with one side in. I am thinking back to older wired units or non-ANC units where I would remove one side to hear someone that started talking to me. I would think that using one side negates the need for transparency mode, but am I missing something?

I have a hard time hearing certain tones. So if I can take in as much sound as possible it REALLY helps with day to day life. Something you don't notice until a doc says hey you can't here X tone but the rest of your hearing is great.

[@FoggyEntertainments]

Sorry about your problems. I totally understand

[@user-vp4dv5hg9o]

Thanks for your review. I can say that aside from the sound, these buds have no pros. First of all, it took me a few months to get them to work with my Pixel 7 phone proprerly: there was always a problem that when connected I couldn't use them as a headset. Then it was fixed by updates. But another problems started 4-5 months after purchase: Poor contact between the buds and the ports in the case. Everything was charging fine up until now, but then you put the headphones on charging, the case lights up immediately yellow and then immediately green. You take the buds out and find out that the right bud is not charged. It is necessary to clean all the contacts, and only then it works. Cleaning with alcohol should be done almost every 2-3 weeks of daily use. And even in this case it happened that after charging the right bud was discharged. After 10 months of use torn one earpad, but it's nothing. The most shameful thing is that the caps/membranes of the buds, were attached with glue (!!!) all around the earpiece diameter (!!!!!). How for 220 euros (May 2023) can this be done? Noise cancellation is practically a bit above zero. I have nothing to compare with, of course. But in the subway the difference is minimal between noise cancellation on and off. In short, if you don't want to be disappointed, avoid this model. Nothing against the brand. I've owned wired headphones from Sennheiser for about 15 years. No complaints. They sound great. And they still work, by the way.

[@cesarcastrojr4903]

I love those ears bud but I won't recommend them to anybody. I've had two pairs in less than a year, they sound great but after 1 to 2 weeks of use the ANC develops a wind distortion noise only in the left ear bud. When after a while the right ear bud develops a chirping noise mostly when you're moving around, when the right bud starts cutting in and out until it stops working. And that's not to mention the constant random connection issues, concent cleaning due to one of the earbuds playing lower than the other and other random issues.

[@LS-nf8vo]

Not understanding why the need to post this video as it’s clear that you have a faulty set. I have had mine for months, and no such problems. If you return them & receive a pair with the same problems, then it would give credence to your complaints. Contact senheiser & give em a chance to put things right, if they don't, then trash em. I do e-commerce and it really grinds my gears when a buyer leaves bad feedback without allowing me to rectify the issue. Sensible & reasonable people take this approach. This is not good!!!

[@FoggyEntertainments]

I have definitely had multiple people say about the same thing. I absolutely will take this approach the next time I do a review of a product that doesn't seem to work right. Thanks for the feedback 😊

[@emilioossa163]

i am in my 4th pair and they have the same.issue with ANC.... High pitch or/and lower volume performance. I don't know if i am unluck, but I only used them in the gym, taking my dog out, or just watching KZbin videos.

[@matteodm]

That's OK to do that video, because internet is full of comments and people facing similar or same issues. The rate of faulty TW3 is really high. And those fails aren't just 'accidental' but more like design flaws. This definitely shouldn't happen in a product released by such company in such price range. What is even more outrageous - Sennheiser already had 'battery drain' in their TW1 model as well, due to the design flaw! At least, there was a workaround found by community to deal with the issue. I am paying fair price for a product that I expect just to work. I don't want to spend additiona time and frustration for finding/researching various 'tricks' and 'workarounds' to the issues that could be easily find in the testing phase. Releasing faulty products to the market is just disrespectful for the customers.

I LOVE the sound, I have tried number of different brands. Unfortunately I’ve gone through two sets. Both had battery issues, and ANC beeping. First one went after 3 months, 2nd after 6 weeks. This sucks as I really like them, but the issues that many people are having is widespread.

[@ddkim619]

After hearing your list of the cons, even if they stayed NSYNC I would've still said, "bye bye bye" to these lol

[@wildflower401]

Okay, so I had mine for 3 months and the most relatable issue was the pain from the wingtips in BOTH of my ears. However, you can fix this by selecting the no-wingtip option and then buying a seperate eartip - not wingtip - made of memory foam. It feels SO much better and improves sound quality and noise reduction. But the issue you can't fix is transparency mode having a constant sizzeling sound that can be heard with music playing.

[@amarecano]

Would you say it’s worth at $200?

Bought a pair of these in June of 2023. It’s now September of 2023. A few weeks ago they started losing their charge when I put them in the charging base. Ironic, right? They’re now completely dead and totally unresponsive. I have bought many Sennheiser products in the past, but never again. These were a total waste of $300. Very sad considering the price.

Jordan (KZbinr that made this) you should provide an update after the latest firmware update that fixed all these issues.

Leaving this title now is nothing more than click bait for you to get views dealing with old firmware issues. Do the right thing...

OK Jordan here's an update. I too was getting fatigued after wearing the TW3 for an hour or more so I bit the bullet and bought the BOSE QC 2 today. Wow what a difference in comfort. I can actually lay on my side in bed with them on and they comfortable. Let's be honest we all have criteria ranking of the most important to the least important. Here's my criteria in order of the most important. 1. Staying connected consistently 2. Comfort 3. Sound quality 4. ANC 5. Wireless charging 6. Price. I think that's everything that I can think of. I'm within the 30 day window Amazon return window and after I do some sound comparisons, I think the TW3's are going back. You should check out the BOSE. You definitely get what you pay for...

[@DracoMortis1117]

I bought these earbuds just over 2 months ago, hearing all the good things about the sound quality; all of which are very much true. But if I knew how bad the Quality Control was on these, I would’ve never bought them in the first place. When most earbuds get wax buildup, they handle fine for a very long time. Not the TW 3’s. Had to clean them with alcohol at least 2 times a week. Normally, I’d be ok with this, but this was only after 6 weeks of use and $260. Now we go forward to today (2 months of use) and the left earbud now has no sound whatsoever. I tried everything to fix them. I cleaned them, I’ve reset them (normal and full factory resets) multiple times and nothing. Not a problem for earbuds after long term usage, but again… 2 months, and $260. I’m going to see if I can RMA them back, but I honestly don’t care and will probably just switch back to Jabra or go with another quality brand. One of the best sounding earbuds available, and yet they are the worst earbuds I’ve ever bought. Will probably never buy this brand again just because of the disappointment these were.
