We NEED to talk about Sennheiser...

[@hrkvid]

Exactly, exactly, exactly. You are bang on John. I recently bought iPod Pro 2, Bose QE2 but returned both of them after I bought/tried Sennheiser Momentum TW 3s. They just sound so much better. They offer all the key features of TWS and cherry on top is they recently also updated the firmware to provide multipoint connectivity which I was looking for. This is the best product if anyone is looking for better sound from TWS earphones in the market. Crazy thing is they were launched a while ago, yet few people are aware of this product.

[@bharat5194]

How's the ANC as per your experience?

[@ManapuaMan187]

How are they holding up a year later?I've read reviews that one side stopped working after a year

[@buffal0bilious]

I picked up the TW3s this afternoon. I'm very impressed. I wanted a pocketable BT/ANC device for commute/exercise/cafe use because I just don't find my older WH-1000XM3s quite as convenient on-the-go as I'd originally hoped. They still have a bit of a "I'm lugging a thing around" quality to them (for me). It just so happens these little Sennheiser in-ears sound better than the full-size XM3s, having greater detail, separation, and a more natural tonal balance. The Sony sounds a bit bloated and muffled by comparison. Great recommendation!

Regarding wind noise, it is easy to cut it down in a ‘listening device’ but impossible to eliminate it completely in a microphone which is what the other party is hearing. In order to diminish wind noise for you phone conversation partner you would need to rig up a small foam wind screen over the part of the IEM which is not in the ear canal, where the microphone is located to pick up your voice. I am an audio engineer and made several for lavaliere mics and also my Etymotic (wired earbuds) also tried to make a tiny wind sock for my AirPods, as I like to take phone calls when bicycling around, but most of the time I will go back to my wired IEM when on the bike or in windy situations. Thank you for your nice reviews!

[@getjcn]

John, absolutely love that you cover all price points and ranges with your audio reviews! I also tremendously value your opinions on all of these products. There is however one glaring omission over the years that I've noticed from your wireless iem reviews. The (AKG tuned) Samsung Galaxy Buds series. The latest Galaxy Buds 2 Pro (I know confusing naming with the rest of the line up) and previous Buds Pro absolutely blew my mind when it comes to quality of sub and mid bass. And offer this extra clarity that you spoke of with the Senns here. As an avid listener of the CA Andromedas with the Dragonfly Cobalt, the Samsung Buds were the first to offer any resemblance of that super wide sound stage and placement for me. Would absolutely love to hear your opinion on these!! The Buds 2 Pro are much more comfortable this year and have a unique feature in that they will support 24 bit playback through their wireless codec, and they're also one of the few wireless IEMs that offer a "dual driver" setup (I believe one DD and one BA). Anyhow sorry for the rant. Please review these next if at all possible!!! Cheers!

[@stephenshoihet2590]

the galaxy 2 buds pro are very well balanced, especially in the treble; they have a bit of a dip in the mid-mid and high-mid....so if he thinks the momentums have a nice airy top end he's going to think the Samsung are overly bright 😝

[@billd9667]

I’m not surprised. No matter where I roam, I always come back to Sennheisers. I do have a pair of Beyerdynamic closed backs for neutrality, but they aren’t as “fun” as the HD series. I do have and used AirPods Pro for general use (walking) and they are fine, especially with memory foam tips. I’ll consider the MTMs, but, honestly, I’m fine with the Apples for now. Since I’ve discovered global adjustments (EQ) in Accessibility on the iPhone, the next set will be the Momentums. Great, concise review, John.

[@trudimcleod5042]

The Sennheiser is made to be compatible with Android since it supports Aptx, which the Airpods cannot have (different hardware). It just makes no sense to get the Airpods if the phone/tablet operates in Android with developer options. BTW, thanks for the video, extremely well done as always!

[@JohnDoe-ow2mt]

Thanks John! That was very helpful. Decision made!

[@wrathofdiablo]

I was about to get the airpod pro2’s and was taking a flight before that and saw the sennheiser at the airport so picked it up as i didnt wana dive completely in the apple ecosystem and try something diff. I’m glad i made that choice and since I’m an audiophile this was all the better !

Thanks John, for all the hard work you put in this channel. Content keeps on coming! I value your opinion on hifi very much (that doesn't sound right, but you catch my drift).

[@Ramman1995]

Bought a pair of APP2's to replace my MTW2's and as soon as I heard them back to back I missed the sound of the MTW2's. I sold the MTW2's and tried to push through the APP2's but they just didn't fit right in my ear. I ended up returning them and ordered MTW3's and so far I am in love. My biggest issue with the APP2's is that no one really tells you that they are just normal air pods with a gel tip slapped on the end and because of that they just didn't stay in my ear and go in deep enough.

[@tronalddump404]

Pfieuw, made the right choice! Love the MTW3! Not perfect but best comfort in any earbuds I owned and the sound is just so good for hours of listening. Downside is that with my first pair the right bud went silent, which apparently happens a lot according to internet. Got a new pair whitin a week though. Your on a roll John, on to the next! :)

[@jpdj2715]

Earlier this year, I bought the CX Plus True Wireless for about 100 currencies less than the Momentums. For a flight to give me less noise load, consequent fatigue, and hopefully less pressure equalization between inner ear and outside if I inserted these buds well (deep and tight). Worked as hoped for. I recognize the telephone call thing and noise. While Sennheiser did a great job at hiding specifications, it all becomes apparent when you select e.g. the Momentum and CX Plus in a comparison. Momentum goes to 107 dB and CX Plus to 114. Roughly twice as loud in human perception. Momentum has more power reserve and 2*3 microphones. It's not clear if CX Plus has 2*1 or 2*2. And CX Plus needs a cable to recharge the battery in the charge case. I some times drive an old car that is rather loud and thought to wear these buds here too. I have to say that noise cancellation is not as adaptive as I hoped. It is better at constant noise. And there is a Bluetooth conflict between the earbuds and the car's handsfree telephone connection over Bluetooth. Switching off, resetting, Bluetooth off/on and then reverting switching car's handsfree off but being punished by less intelligibility to the other person in a handsfree over the Sennheisers phone-call. These BT things may be Android, apps, etc. I would want to play music to the earbuds from the phone but have telephone calls over the handsfree kit. And no rules avail to make such choices. While the phone makes it look like two BT devices are connected at the same time. Which may be an illusion.

Ahhh, finally. You've seen the light. Note: overall sounding (and function)much better with foam eartips. I hate the silicones that comes with it. The ANC works better with the tight seal of the foam tips.

Hi sir ! So happy to see your comment! I searched for comply foam tips for my momemtum 3 tws on amazon and i found anything :( Nothing fit on momemtum 3, only on momemtum 2 or iems for Sennheiser. Do you have a suggestion for me? Thank you and sorry for bad english i speak french

[@Capitan_Cavernicola_1]

Great video. My main takeaway is to get the Apple Pro 2 for daily use and a pair of wired EIMs for hifi music listening outside (camfire, audeze, etc). I am looking forward to a review of the new Campfire Orbit wireless.

[@operatorpsyduck2035]

the reason other people hear wind is because the microphone is on the outside of the earbud, the noise cancelling is applied by picking up the wind noise and applied inside to your ears. during calls it is just picking up whatever it can hear from its mic on the outside

[@daTroll]

Or put another way: the processing of the sound from the microphone has a hard time to distinguish between the voice of the user and the wind, so how could it suppress the wind without suppressing the voice? It’s not impossible but requires some heavy DSP lifting.

[@sams6199]

I’m really glad to finally see wind noise being addressed , I’ve been looking for a solution for outdoor listening since always , I think it’s should be a factor considered into any future headphone/earphone review. Gonna give these a try

[@Calypso694]

I think the momentum 3 is the best sounding set of wireless ear buds I've ever heard. But the bose quiet comfort 2 have the absolute best noise cancelation on any earbuds.

IEMs fall out of my ears - wired or wireless. I bought some expensive wired IEMs and their biggest advantage was that they were safely connected to the wire. And yes they were so heavy that one falling out would pull the other one out. Watching you walk around with these wireless buds reminds me of how all the wireless buds I have tried keep me focused on the dratted things falling out rather than the music. Still an informative video as always. Thanks!

[@Taikostuff]

Same here, only thing that works are iem's with comply tips but then only for a while and i have to keep adjusting them. Also they need to go deep inside the ear canal which causes other problems with earwax buildup and increases chance for an ear infection, not a big deal if you're hygienic but still.

[@kbprojekty]

Had the same problem, but recently stumbled upon first pair that fits my ears and doesn't fall out or move at all even if I am running. The only exception is exercising with weights - during harder moments my ear canals apparently shrink and push the earbuds out. If I found a pair that works, maybe you will too one day ;)

I’ve run Sennheiser for years, you can’t beat the sound. So clear and deep like you said. I’m coming from no noise cancelling and the like… so I’m sure they’ll be great for me. Only thing is my ME2’s packed in a few times during exercise, replaced under warranty also but never as good awards. Just hope these hold up better for sweaty runners. 🥵😅

I wonder how these wireless IEMs compare to price-equivalent wired IEMs in which the wires can be swapped with a portable over the neck bluetooth adapter. I feel they offer a bit more security when it comes to IEMs possibly dropping out of one's ears whilst on the move (it has happened to me), but they also give one the flexibility to plug the wires in when power is an issue.

CX Plus went on sale for half off on Prime day, so I returned the Momentum True Wireless 3 to save a chunk of change for a similar product. I was surprised to find that I liked the CX Plus a bit more. I do love the meaty bass on the Momentum 3, because I'm a bass lover, but overall, I think the CX Plus has a tuning that works better with more genres. For $90 USD they were a steal. The case is also considerably smaller and the earbuds themselves are lighter, which can also be a plus. As a side note, the fit on both of those Sennheisers are better for my ears than any other TWS or IEM I own, bar none. I can shake my head, chew, smile, laugh, work out, anything, and they stay put with no painful pressure points anywhere on my ear. That alone makes them worth their weight in gold.

[@abelfonseca]

Fortunately i had listening daily for a year with the Huawei Freebuds 3 and they are fantastic in every aspect of SQ, plus with a loudness capacity for those quieter masters full of headroom and DR. Although no efective ANC or passive isolation (that I don't care of it). Even tryed the Freebuds 4 and the Freebuds Pro, but these are not on pair.

You’re killing me, your iPod pro 2 review nearly had me pull the trigger, until the end. I’ve always been a Sennheiser earphone fan, my original momentum wireless broke recently. The form factor of the case on the iPods, plus functionality with my iPhone seemed like the ticket. But sound quality is the be all and end all for me, and the Sennheiser sound is too enjoyable. Seems the bulky case on the Sennheiser will have to go ignored and they’ll be the replacement.

Please can you talk about spatial audio though? Listening to “spatialize stereo” on music albums not in Dolby atmos for example, and the whole controversy over different streaming service implementation of Dolby atmos, where Apple Music streams the raw 3D object audio files and the phone does the head transfer function, compared to the other services which actually stream Dolby atmos in stereo with a studio adjusted head transfer function already encoded. That’s why tidal Dolby atmos on iPhone with AirPods sounds nothing like Apple Music Dolby atmos for example, and why AirPods don’t sound the same as other headphones. If spatial audio for headphone listening is the future, these details are important, no?

[@absolutium]

Spatial audio is NOT the future.. recording studios don't like it. Had the opportunity to talk with some people in a mastering studio.. they laughed at the idea. The amount of resources required for it to be done properly so that less than 2% of the listeners use it it is the equivalent of 3D glasses.

Thanks John, another insightful vid. I’m not a headphone user at all, but I enjoy listening to your thoughts on what’s out there, just in case I were. I have a 2ch and a 5.1 set up, so Spatial Audio/Atmos is of great interest to me. Spatial Audio when streamed from Apple Music via my ATV 4K to my AV amp, transcodes to 5.1 and can sound stunning. But also, fairly flat and or gimmicky, depending on the music. For example, Kendrick Lamar’s vibrant and soulful recent album sounds so much better in 2ch stereo. It doesn’t sound quite right in 5.1. Whereas, the recent Talking Heads Atmos releases, are fascinating and highly enjoyable, they feel really opened up and layered. This may be because they have had a previous incarnation as dedicated surround mixes, as you mention, in the DVD-a/CD double packs, 10-15 years ago. (It’s the primary reason I subscribe to Apple alongside Qobuz).

[@leqin]

So I listened to this video on my HD660's and, by comparison with my old set of DT770's, it was like John was carrying more weight - just a little more chunky and with more gravitas than any other headphone in my collection - plus - more importantly, he was definatly gapless.

[@parkermackenzie9848]

The most I’ll spend on wireless IEM is $200, because they’re 1) all hobbled in SQ by v-shaped tuning and the limitations of Bluetooth tech 2) a consumable product liable to loss and battery depletion 3) typically of poor build quality. Why did I chose the Bose QC earbuds as an audiophile? They’re $200 on Amazon, have the best ANC of any headphones I’ve heard, and have good build quality compared to others. Getting slightly better sound from another model is irrelevant to me because none of them sound that good and my critical listening is done at home. For everywhere and everything else: noisy airplanes, mobile zoom calls, whatever, I’ll take the Bose because they’re fit for that purpose.

[@improvedgarage]

love my tw3, thanks for the review

[@improvedgarage]

One other thing to add. Most people don’t consider the noise cancelling of the local noise that you are transmitting through the microphone to the person on the other side of the call. The sennheisers are excellent at blocking this ambient noise and not flooding the guy on the other side of the phone. I know they are much better than my pro, I’m wondering how they compare to the pro 2

I haven’t had great luck with these. Picked up 2 pair for the wife & I and right away we were off to a bad start. She complained about being kicked out of meetings and dropped calls because when she brushed her hair out of her face the earbuds would hang up the call. She tried to fix it by turning off tap features then the right earbud stopped responding to everything. As for mine I just sent them back because the left ear cracks loudly (painfully) any time noise canceling or pass through is turned on. Yea the sound quality does seem to be better than the AirPods but the AirPods work…

Hey John, greetings from Norway. Followed your channel for a long time, but this is my first comment. Love your channel, keep up the good work! As we know does the Sennheiser support aptX-codecs in addition to AAC. The AirPods Pro #2 only support AAC. Did you use your iPhone when you compared the soundquality between them? Just to know that you did’nt use two different codecs. Im planning to buy a set of wireless earbuds and use with my iPhone and would be nice to know if you need a source with aptX-support to get the upgraded soundquality you experienced. Thanks!

You don’t here the wind because of the cancellation that the that provides the microphone in relation to the speaker.

Other companies like Apple may use a second microphone (which they do for laptops and iMacs) so they have the reference there.

Every pair of buds has its own issues. I bought a pair of Sony WF-1000XM4's. They just didn't sound as good as all the reviews. Perhaps my earshape is wonky. Moreover the ANC was non-functional so I returned them. I read the reviews about thd new Technics eah-az80 v2 but I got a discounted deal on the Seinnheiser Momentum TW3's. Their sound quality is far superior to Sony but the connection, the app & range are wonky. I realised that you just have to live with the trade-off of what brings you the greatest utility. I also have a pair of Panasonic RW300's. They are an "el cheapo" however they are reliable. No connection loss, good listening time etc. However they will fall off your ears & need constant adjustment to stop them from falling out. Charging is also an issue as they have to line up perfectly in their case. You pay for what you get. Thank you for the heads up.

I bought these earbuds 5 months ago, sound is really good unfortunately like a lot of people who bought this model the failure rates are high, I have had 2 sets and they have both failed in one earbud.

Listening to this on some Sennheiser HD250BT and also have HD25 Light light... ;) The Momentum TW 2 looked classier than those 3... Nice review!

'Mind Bomb' is an incredible sounding album! :)

[@shirantal2263]

Just got a free replacement from Sennheiser a few weeks ago. I sent back the TW2 and got a free upgrade to the new TW3. It is much better in every sense. Sound is solid! Not as good as HD650, but overall it's great

I am a true apple guy. But when we talk abort earbuds i go with bowers pi7 - perfect Sound quality👍

Wireless earbuds are, essentially, disposable. The general inability to, or preventative servicing costs for, replace dead batteries means the hundreds of £€$¥ spent on these types of earphones is just an expensive rental. They’re rarely recycled either. A real false economy compared to good wired IEMs.

[@PTSeTe]

That's why I don't like them and still use wired, you know they gonna die on you and will never be able to replace the battery.

@@johnnysilverhand1733 we “can” land probes on Mars. It isn’t within reach of 99.9% of lay people either.

You can literally get apple care plus and trade them for new ones. I just did with my original airpods pro and now they have doubled their life expectancy, which will be like 5 or 6 years in total. That being a lot more time of constant use than the couple of months you’ll give your wired iems before buying new ones and switching. And yes, I also own some iems which I stopped carrying with me because they simply cannot beat the convenience of bt headphones and the added benefits they have.

[@cartilagehead6326]

I don’t disagree, but how long does the average pair of wired IEMs really hold up before you’re buying a replacement for the units themselves? Three years? Five years, tops?

[@xxxxxxxyyyyyyy]

Yeah.
