The NEW TWS Momentum 4 is here!! How is it VS the Momentum TWS 3??

Here are all of my thoughts on the Momentum TWS 4 from Sennheiser. I also have the TWS 3 on hand so that I can compare the two to help understand the differences going to the 4.

*Update!! I started messing around more with multipoint since I still have time with the TWS 4. It does work much better with my simple Fire Tablet and my Phone. Music through my tablet, calls answered seamless on my phone and then back to tablet when I hung up. There was a day 1 firmware update that was not out when I filmed the video. It's possible there were some stability fixes implemented. It also worked well with my Asus Vivobook with my phone.

2.37k subs, but looks like this guy has $10-20k invested to make his channel top notch. He is not making a dime back to pay for any of this T_T. Good Job.

[@Nonresponder01]

A channel name change would help. Maybe something more about what the channel is about since. Kraken Tech. Tech Kraken, etc.

[@Skeeb23]

@Nonresponder01 honestly I started as skeeb23tech and hated it. Too many names on YT with "tech" in it so I made it my own. Appreciate the feedback

[@mattbauer6304]

I just ordered a pair from Audio 46 yesterday, they always take great care of me & ship immediately.

[@havok1534]

I also have mtw3. I ordered mtw 4 today. The only thing I found missing in mtw is the ldac codec. The review was excellent by the way.I just subscribed my friend, I wish you success in your channel.

Thank you!

Are you happy with the update? I am in the same situation. Love my TW3, still not pushed over to the need-to-update situation. If you can hear the difference Im in. Some say its not as loud as TW3.

[@mangbecak1]

Hello! Just found you. Also agree that the sound personalisation was great. The 5 band eq didn't do much at all from my pov.

[@reklovjj]

As I recall sound personalization was key but volume/loudness was an issue vs say Denon Perl Pro and Between 3 ANC.

[@Skeeb23]

@@reklovjj the personalization adds loudness too, which is nice. I do agree that, compared to other earbuds, these do not get as loud.

[@sullivan8686]

Really enjoyed this review. I find the new Bluetooth features to be very promising - particularly multipoint, as I am often working with earbuds in listening to music and it would be nice to be able to switch from my pc to my phone when a call comes in. I'm intrigued by Auracast, as I think its best use case is yet to be invented. Tons of potential there, for sure.

[@bobtaylor7197]

Nice...just subscibed😊

[@cubinn149]

Awsome earbuds great sound and features im thinking the less sharpness sound default is supposed to be less ear fatigue its good to be able to adjust it if need be

[@reklovjj]

Best is PerL Pro so far on SQ only; now I loved my M3’s but came short on volume as I recall.

[@hokagoteatimereviews]

Great review! Its a bit sad that it doesn't have ldac. Although I guess aptx lossless is good. Although it seems a bit much to spend for a tws, but I guess the top tier anc is really good for concentrating. By the way would have loved a mic sample from you, and the battery saver mode is awesome. I make reviews wearing gloves too, maybe I should try getting a white glove too 🤔

[@Skeeb23]

Appreciate the feedback on the mic. I'll be sure to do that on the next earbud video I do. The gloves are nice...I tend to have oily skin so helps with that. Black gloves block the product too much, so white it is.

[@JackLodestar]

Excellent review. I subscribed! I might just buy the 3 it's cheaper today and I'm not an audio enthusiast. Will just use it for simple listening and movies.

[@perseus31]

They have many failed models in mtw 3 series. I bought second hand and guy I bought from said ones Im getting are replaced ones and he wanted to switch. Thankfully I have zero complaints for 6 months now but you should give a second thought.

[@RVDL]

Thanks for your careful review, it was helpful. Can you tell me if your experience with the multipoint feature is similar with the TWS 3's?

[@Skeeb23]

It was. I did some digging and found others with a few issues. Seems it didn't launch with multipoint with the 3. Also it could be my particular setup with PC and phone. I'm curious if an iPhone would perform better. I'd almost call my experience incomplete. I still have them a week, if I can figure something out, I'll pin a comment on it.

[@RVDL]

@@Skeeb23 maybe test it paired with friends’ devices?

[@nathanberger618]

The TWS IEMs I use the most now is the Creative Aurvana Ace 2 with xMEMs!

[@AeroPrimeOG]

are the Aurvana Ace 2 worth it ? I would like to hear from you ? i’m considering to get them

[@nathanberger618]

@@AeroPrimeOG I’ve had a few decent TWS IEMs in the past, but now if I’m out and about I always pick up the Ace 2. Everything about the sound I like. The thing you need to know is I have 68 year old hearing so I don’t hear like a 25 year old

[@AeroPrimeOG]

@@nathanberger618 “sounds” good to me if you know what I meant

[@herb601]

Great review. I do have one question though. How do you A/B when you can only have one pair in at a time? Just curious. 🙂

[@Skeeb23]

I take quite a few notes with audio products because your brain can play tricks on you. It's not perfect science of course, but it's still effective.

[@herb601]

Thanks for responding. I've been in this hobby since 1962 and it's been proven many times that you can't remember music you've just heard for more than 20 seconds. That's when A/B was a godsend. @@Skeeb23

[@kingarthur4419]

Great video. Can you get lossless audio over a blue tooth connection with an iPhone?

[@realmusictillthedaywedie8187]

Iphone only support AAC🤡

[@ttube111]

I use Poweramp App for EQ. Do u think this will help with the bass?

[@generalraven6866]

I have an iphone 13 pro max which I believe doesn’t have the features that TWS4 could work with it Should I get the TWS4 or the TWS3 instead?

[@JMMinorSituation]

How’s the noise csncelling compared to the Bose quiet comfort ultra ?

[@Skeeb23]

I have not sampled the Bose personally, however, I've been told by others that the Bose have some of the best ANC. I'd say the ANC of the Sennheiser is just so-so. I think the Sony xm5 are better at ANC than these.

[@stanzapalny2123]

I've tried all 3 and for me Bose>>>Sennheiser 4> Sony XM5

[@N_G_M]

The momentum 3's have a hi-res mode that you can turn on/off. Does the momentum 4 have this as well/implement it in a different way or is it gone?

[@Skeeb23]

Yes it can be toggled on/off and includes lossless as an option too.

[@N_G_M]

@@Skeeb23 thanks!

[@davewilton3101]

Ever used either of these on a motorcycle with a build in sound system such as on a Indian challenger, BMW or Harley? Categories are ANC, connectivity, sound quality? Thanks.

[@Skeeb23]

First off, 🤘to you! I miss my bike, but kids changed all of that. No, I don't have any experience with these or other earbuds on a motorcycle unfortunately.

[@davewilton3101]

Skeeb, yep still riding at 70. Indian Challenger. Good sounds system integral to the bike. Would like a good earbud setup with decent noise cancelling and sound quality. Probably will get the Momentum 4.

[@Skeeb23]

@@davewilton3101 momentum 4 tws does a nice job of blocking wind in my tests!

[@makstaz79]

Beautiful looking buds ,sounds great but I hate the chunky case. I was hoping they would downsize the case.

Are these better on an android or iPhone?

[@deykno87]

Can you turn off battery protection mode

Yes, it's optional.

Mozart liked them. Beethoven didn't.

[@gsxer13]

Samsung phones does support lossless codex very few phones do.

[@Skeeb23]

Previous versions definitely had issues with different codecs. Samsung has been stingy and kept them hidden as to want others to use their own ecosystem. With the LE Audio supported on the S24 Ultra I believe that finally unlocked all the codecs too.

[@GolfCrafter]

Not in EU though 😢

[@gsxer13]

Sorry folks I meant to say Samsung phones do NOT support aptex Lossless. As of right now the best you can do is LDAC Sony. I think!!

[@Skeeb23]

@gsxer13 The samsung codec issue is very muddy. As I said above, it looks like the latest models will have it thanks to the LE audio support. What is frustrating is that previous versions could have it as well but samsung wants you to use their tech with their buds. I do like the audio quality of samsung though, but wish codecs were unlocked on all.

[@CanuckQuest]

If only the call quality was as better they would be the absolute King. Sadly call quality is just average and doesn’t have the hardware to fix. A shame. Otherwise perfect.

[@Cryptosavage.]

Could be louder.

[@vincentrahal9767]

Had the momentum 3s and had to return then two or three times. Buyer beware

[@pete23231]

Me too, had to return 2 sets in one year

[@ivanmirones9220]

Same here ,had to teturn 3 pairs with the same battery issue.

[@robbyb.8905]

They’re literally an exact copy of the momentum threes

[@northernlights9814]

Read some reviews and you will see they are not. They are an upgrade in several ways (better noice cancellation, new IP54 rating, slightly longer battery life, slight audio improvement, overhauled BT technology not to forget the absolutely gorgeous copper black option) and several reviewers already believe they have the best sound of all comparable earbuds (except the more expensive Denon). What remains to be seen is how durable they are and if they don't have all the problems Momentum 3 unfortunately had.

[@Blu3_777]

Cap, i heard transparency mode has a good amount of white noise. A hiss is unacceptable period

[@Skeeb23]

Hiss? Perhaps at the highest volume of transparency, but I thought it worked well and didn't notice a hiss on the level I need. It will pick up wind outside though...too bad you can't use transparency with the anti wind. But I suppose you need the mics for both.

[@user-gp1yi3xo5b]

I own a pair, and I don’t notice the white noise part. I love my pair

If you're going to be asking for money from your fans, why don't you get more informed on a 7 mm driver? It is not the same

[@Skeeb23]

I'm all for admitting when I miss something, but, can you tell me where you found they are different drivers? The chipset is updated of course, but that is not a driver. I searched and did not see anything about the driver changing...and what changed if it did.
