THEY DID IT! Sennheiser Momentum 4 True Wireless (Firmware 5.6.1)

[@sennheiser]

Shouldn't have been an issue in the first place, we hear you there. Thanks for giving these another try with the update and for sharing your feedback.

[@pickyaudio]

No worries thanks for the update 👍

[@larysanderson]

My Momentum 3s have been doing the weirdest ringing high pitched whine any time I get a phone call with noise canceling on. Have reset them, updated, everything.

[@sennheiser]

@@larysanderson Sorry to hear about your buds. Please contact our support team here so they can help: www.sennheiser-hearing.com/contact/ -- We hope to hear from you!

[@Moorbs]

[@ricardoalvarez2800]

I’m paranoid of all your momentum earbuds because of battery issues…..and discomfort in right ear……

[@Ricardodiaz17762]

Thanks for the info update. I was debating between these and the AZ80s. I'm getting the Sennys.👍

Edifier Buds Pro 2? Jabra?

[@Kirko_bangz]

AZ80 for me. I had the MTW4 but sent them back. The AZ80 just sound better.

[@thesupergroover1339]

​@@Kirko_bangzHave you tried the MTW4 Sound Personalization for the comparison? For me it is a game changer, the Sennheiser sounds much better.

This is great, thanks James! Waiting for mine to arrive

[@pickyaudio]

No worries! Enjoy them 👍

[@istvanfodor8704]

Hey James I am doing a lot of calls, teams etc so good call quality is important. But most importantly I am very sensitive to occlusion effect and hate hearing myself when calls in an unnatural way and feel “stucked” due to the in ear. I work in a very noisy office ( good anc with high freq noise cut out is necessary ) I do a lot of gym, running, hiit ( very good anc, no occlusion again ) What would you reconmend to cover these all? Thank you Istvan

[@theSCARB]

Very interesting how they were asked to fix all that in a single update. Makes me wonder why these problems were there in the first place if it was just a software issue. What videos are u planning to put out soon? I still wonder if u will cover the asus earphones I asked abt.

[@_-Z-]

Thank you for the update on the update, Picky! 🙂👍

[@2andforty]

The pixel phone fix is the highlight for me ❤ They wouldn't connect to the phone automatically when taken out of the box and now they do. Also, loudness levels on normal eq is louder too!

[@pickyaudio]

Awesome!

[@victortsilimparis1533]

Thanks for the great reviews man! Are you going to review Momentum Sport 2024 anytime soon?

[@1larock]

Let's hope that these ones last longer than 8 months like the TM3's, I'll wait a while before I waste my money again, especially as there is zero customer service😡

[@spas6128]

Lucky you. Mine lasted for two months. Indoors use only.

[@1larock]

[@lohbut2]

Mine lasted 6 months.

[@helixgaming9058]

I’ve been using it heavily for more than 18 months and I never had an issue.

[@jasonMB999]

@@lukaszklopotek FIXED?! 😂Damn. That means you could've fixed it yourself. Cause they normally replace

[@mertyorulmaz2033]

Important: When you change the sidetone level, the sound profile of the earphones also changes. This has always been the case, for all models. The choice of low or high distorts the familiar Sennheiser tonal character.

[@Blu3_777]

Im glad you focus on transparency quality. I find these details very important and missed by others. Btw the way they just released the sennheiser momentum sport. I wonder if you will be reviewing them they are pretty expensive

[@pickyaudio]

Thanks glad it helps! Yea I really want to they’re just super expensive

[@coolerbanana]

The static issue seems to plague a lot of earbuds, including Bose's Quiet Comfort Ultra and Technics az60m2. If they really managed to fix it, then that's awesome! Considering it doesn't happen when it's not yet paired, I doubt it's a hardware issue especially since it affects practically every product.

[@NegyedMisi]

Looking forward to your opinion on Sennheiser Momentum Sport buds from an audio perspective. Sport reviewers said both ANC and transparenc are great.

[@pickyaudio]

I’m keen to try them! I just don’t have the extra money right now

[@causeydawg]

Thanks for the heads up!

[@Arestas25]

Hello James, Can you please help me with a few doubts?. Do you notice a big sound quality difference between similarly priced headphones and earbuds?. I was considering the Soundcore Liberty 4 NC (you previously reviewed) but for the same price I can get the Tozo HT2 or the 1More Sonoflow 🤔... How would you rate those 3 options in terms of sound quality and ANC?. Thanks 👍

[@pickyaudio]

I prefer the sound of headphones personally. It just sounds more expansive to me with fuller bass. My best pick there is the 1More SonoFlow.

[@Arestas25]

@@pickyaudio I will follow your advice 💪!! Thanks for your help

[@rajurathod3972]

May I get to know the best sound/call quality settings for phone calls while driving for smart control app. Bcoz phone call receiver doesn't hear my voice clearly. I tried with every possible setting that I can change in Smart control app. Still facing the issue.

[@Deserteagle730]

Ordered a pair of TW4 just today…hope it serves me well

[@martinberta7625]

Jabra Elite 10 also got update, would you mind recording video about it ?? Your content is perfect. Really like it. Please keep this trend going

[@pickyaudio]

Thanks currently editing that video!

[@BuckeyeMCS]

Are you getting and feedback from people you speak on the phone with that your voice is muffled when using the Momentum 4's?

[@victortsilimparis1533]

I just got them yesterday and I hear a lot of static sound when I'm in a pretty quite room with ANC on and no music. Is it the same for you or is it an issue, again...? Also heard on transparency mode but that was there also with tw3. I've updated to 5.6.1 also.

[@rossydv]

Can you recommend a set that would be similar to Sony’s MDR Xp55? Wired and $60 and better that the Beats fit pro. But the discontinued it!!

[@Sado0og]

Firmware 5.15.4 has released for mtw4 with many improvements Can u make a video about it ??

[@IMHO88-dm1xf]

How about the sound quality - anything negative?? Still remember the OnePlus buds Pro 2's latest update trashed the bass!!

[@thesupergroover1339]

No change. Activating ANC makes the sound slightly better.

[@IMHO88-dm1xf]

@@thesupergroover1339 - Thanks Bro!! I was holding off before updating them!!

[@transeuropenet]

This update does not contain Auracast capability, or does it? I was not able to join an Auracast stream with TW4 and FW 5.6.1

[@CHEIF_L97]

Did this firmware also let you use transparency mode on single earbud use?

[@SibTiger33]

O wow. Can u really not use transparency with one bud?

[@dariuszwojcik1601]

I can confirm you CAN use transparency on one earbud

[@pickyaudio]

Yep you can

[@CHEIF_L97]

That’s great news and I got them day one and couldn’t use transparency mode on single earbud use

[@jengkolholic]

I have an issue with my MTW4 when I use DAP, there are noisy sound if I playing music. But when I paused, the noise disappear. But it doesnt happen when I use denon. Any solution? I try to reset but no result

[@cubinn149]

Yes very nice fix the anc still doesn't block the really high frequencies much otherwise everything else is perfect

[@jmsnystrom]

Can you use them in the car or in windy train station

[@pickyaudio]

Yea the ANC has a wind reduction mode. The transparency mode doesn’t though

[@harpal999]

There’s a new update. Can you please review? Thanks!!

[@prashamjain8907]

Sir, Oneplus Buds 3 vs Oppo Enco air 3 pro. There is about 15 dollars difference in both. I want the best ANC under 100 dollars

The microphone pickup suck. Edifier buds pro 2 and Beats Studio Buds+ seem fine there. Fomer have poor battery life and later seem to sound pretty bad. Neither have strong water protection. Wish I could have it all in one. Jabra Elite 8 Active the compromise? Or the Edifiers?

you are right, I got Sennheiser Momentum 4 True Wireless, and one of the earbud battery is dead after 2 Months

[@1974Redhill]

Sennheiser is a gamble set of earbuds. We will be enticed to buy by its superb sound. Even though we hear news of multiple problems it gives in a short run. Will you inform us about the latest problem it arises. So we can choose other brand. Thank you. 🙏 ❤😊

[@dariuszwojcik1601]

You are free to buy whatever you like buddy. All earbuds have issues but nobody somehow notices it. I have to swap my AirPods Pro 2 multiple times so any electronic device is a gamble. Some people willing to take a chance and some play safe 🤞

Uhhh no update for mo tw3, that white noise need to be fixed on that too. Plus if can add slower charging for better battery management would be great

Stop using transparency during calls folks, you will see the difference. Call quality is then perfect in even windy conditions, why doesent sennheiser informs about that??? @ sennheiser
