Sennheiser Momentum TWS 4 VS Bose, Sony, Apple & More!

[@tiborbozso1033]

You are one of the only reviewers who isn't deaf. You are clearly an audiophile who understands music and technology. Thank you for your honest reviews.

[@CEONTHEMAKING]

I don't really consider myself an audiophile, but thanks for the compliment!

[@dinof68]

do you even know what it means to be an audiophile?

[@GeneratorKiller]

Just got the momentum 4’s today and I had that happen to me as well. Weird feedback noise that happened out of nowhere. Considering it’s not a one time thing and has happened with multiple people it’s definitely something to consider

[@aminosmz]

Hello the hiss noise in transparency totally disappeared in the latest update for Sennheiser

[@dranek]

The bass on the Bose qc ultra buds is pretty stellar if you listen to a lot of bass heavy genres. Super punchy, clean, and thick with very low THD for a closed shell.

[@MrHahaveryhappy]

This is why I haven't bought a new pair of earbuds yet lol I want stellar sound with great bass, great app, definitely a eq I can mess with. Noise cancellation is important but not the top. Sound is my priority. I've been leaning towards Sennheiser (quality scaring me), technique az80 or Bose

[@lutherblissett7873]

when it comes to Bass Sennheiser is undefeated. Not even close.

[@manomanohar6138]

​@@lutherblissett7873is it giving better bass than sony wf 1000xm5 ? I am a bass lover, which one u suggest among these two ?

[@taomw612]

I totally agree with you.I own both AZ80 and MTW4, the AZ80 has surprisingly stable and non interrupted connectivity on LDAC as well as great sound quality . The sound quality of MTW4 is slightly dull to me, it performs much better with the Pentaconn coreir brass ear tips.

[@manthex]

I have the tw4 and experience the same sound when touching the earpiece and I had the tw3 before and got upgraded through warranty to the tw4 because the old tw3 started to make that noise even when not touching anything, I am afraid the tw4 gonna be the same

[@revelationsoundstudio]

Thank you so much for your insightful review. Your speaking voice is at a good speed and it's easy to follow your comments. So many can learn something from you. It seems not one brand will be very good in every category. I had Bose sport in ears. Great bass but the mids and highs are only ok. I purchased the Sennheiser momentum 4. The latest firm update reduced the hiss in the transparency mode. That weird sound you heard sounds like a connection issue. I have a Samsung Galaxy phone and thankfully never had that sound occur. I am very happy with the momentum 4's . I agree the comfort is not the best but at the gym, they stay in place which is very important. They are not uncomfortable with my ears and are acceptable

[@SharfarazHameed-xu4ov]

You are missing important aspects to compare like battery life, longevity, and how easy to carry around(case size and shape). I have used Airpods Pro and Sennheiser MTW 4 earbuds. Sound quality - hands down to Sennheiser, but it is too bulky to carry around compared to compact case design of AirPods Pro. And also I had Sennheiser MW 3 previously and had to return it twice , each time it lasted around 8-10 months with one of the earbuds going totally unresponsive. So I lost trust in their build quality. I don't want to move to Airpods as the sound quality doesnt fit to premium category, I am looking for a new pair which has good Sound Quality, durable, and easy to carry around. Any recommendations?

[@Echomaxx5]

SharfarazHameed-xu4ov umm, the momentum 4 ear buds have only been out for about 8 months, and when you said this comment, it was like 7 or 6. lol I think your pulling this out of you a hole

I have Sennheiser Momnetum 3. When i first got them i thought i was at a concert. I always bought bose but they where never loud enough for me. Sounded great but i love mm3 are great!!!

[@denisnetto_2024]

I also have a lot of the screeching sound in my AirPods Pro (the 1st generation), apart from the crackling problem. That is really annoying. Although I like to use the apple ecosystem, I am really leaning towards the M4 for the superior sound quality and reliability. Thank you very much for the high quality review.

[@RASPOLOGY]

Had the same screeching sound in my MTW3. Disappointed to see it's still an issue.

[@russelrito3582]

I bought an AZ80 a few weeks ago. However, I can't feel any noise-canceling effect while using it, even though I switched from Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds. I'm familiar with the feeling of noise cancellation, but the issue is, I can still hear roads and even the sound of my steps when walking outside with the AZ80. Could it be defective?

[@Nphazed]

I've got both the MTW3 and Sony XM5s and have to say they both are great but I always leaned towards Senhizer when I am at home but use the Sony when I am out and about. Also as of writing this my second pair of MTW3 died again. But Senhizer now sending me the new MTW4s as a replacement with the 2 year warranty.

[@IMHO88-dm1xf]

I've had no "Screeching noise" issue bro, from either ear bud and using the old or new firmware update. 💯 I've got the Copper Black colour (if that makes any difference) - this colour is so Sic!! 🔥🔥 I think the Bose has the best bass response but the MTW4 sounds the best using the Personalised EQ setting!! 💯 The Bose is most comfortable for me and best ANC also.

Excellent review, really enjoy the honest way (and thourough) way you do your reviews! thanks, I just ordered these!

[@daviddin8863]

Personally what I look for in transparency modes is to cancel out loud noise but I can hold a conversation. I work in loud environments: metal clanking, hammers, loud engines. Excellent break down on the ANC and transparency modes

[@samGD3]

I just got a pair of the eah-z80 technics to replace my airpod pros and i am just not seeing they hype on how they are better😢

[@seanarmao7385]

I bought the sonys first but while golfing they fell out non stop. I used the ear piece fitting and it called for medium, so that's all I used. Got frustrated and returned and bought AZ80. Their fit put me in XL and they stay in ear great. But I really preferred sony sound, Maybe because of the outstanding noise cancelation. Should I go back to sony and use lg ear tips? Can anyone relate?

[@MC_Shaheen1]

I totally agree with you that Sony has awful fit this has been reported by many users online. It doesn't stay in the ear at all, always bumps out. Wait for Sony's next earbuds or just go with the Bose QC Ultra if you want that Sony ANC and sound you'll not be disappointed. Better ANC than Sony actually.

[@ve022]

[@indyjones720]

Bro, how do you have the AZ80’s at a tie for second with microphone quality? Didn’t you listen to your own video tests and how much better it sounded than the rest?

[@pickyaudio]

Great video brother! I agree the Mom 4 and AZ80 both bring impressive sound. It's a tie for me as well

[@CEONTHEMAKING]

Thanks bro!

[@indyjones720]

Picky audio sold himself out to Sennheiser. He bragged for months how the Technics were the best and then quietly changed his list recently. Anyone who says MOM4 is better than Technics shouldn’t even testing audio. Just sad.

[@TheDigitalcrack]

Ceo....didn't have a problem with feedback when I had my MtW 4's. I returned them though because of pressure I got in my head when using them. I'm not sure if they have any venting or not the proper amount. The AZ80 is so good bro for sound , the bass is just still not as great as the Sennheiser. And yeah...the xm5's is just my number one over all. Google voice without touching anything, ldac, dsee, touch to aware, smaller case, and very nice battery life, and the xm5 killed the phone quality.

[@CEONTHEMAKING]

[@orepoutanes]

had any issues with the battery? Battery Drain or anything??

[@stkyfngrszmooth]

The Technics AZ-80 are considerably better imo. They're the only earbuds I've used that don't have any weaknesses or odd little glitches. Personally, I like a different type of sound signature, but that really can't be counted as a weakness.

[@Gustavo_St]

I own both AZ80 and XM5 and love both. The XM5 is so compact, has a potent bass, and great microphone and noise cancellation. But the AZ80 wins in the sound quality department, with a sound stage that is just on another level altogether, nobody can match that. Also a compact case (not as compact as the XM5 though, but very pocketable), good mics and decent ANC, although not at the same level as the XM5. You can’t go wrong with either, but each bring different things to the table.

[@Gustavo_St]

@@orepoutanesNo issues whatsoever. My XM5 runs smoothly for several ours. Never counted, but never ran out of battery even in long use sessions.

The sound quality is good! Rich bass and the highs are clear and crisp. BUT many other issues with these buds, they disconnect regularly and sometimes will stop working.

definitely! even the Liberty 4NC sounds louder and rich in sound quality with punchier bass than Buds2 Pro. but since you're using S23 Ultra user just like me, I'd advise you to go for Sony XM5 if Hi-Res audio is your thing coz Samsung doesn't support Aptx Adaptive or Aptx HD (24bit audio) which is a shame. but no issues with LDAC tho.
