Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 review

I can remember looking over Sennheiser's original-gen True Wireless Momentum earbuds back in the year 2019 and, while I was awestruck by the sound quality of the pair The design make me want more. It wasn't all that bad, as even though it came with a bulky case, the battery backup wasn't anything to rave about also. In 2022, the company just announced True Momentum Wireless 3, that retails for around Rs 20K, and features an updated design, as well as other things. I was able to acquire the device and, during this test, we'll examine if this model can compete with premium TWS headphones made by Sony and Apple's range of products.

The creation of earphones is a difficult achievement - after all an expensive TWS headset is filled to the max with all sorts of extras which, aside from giving you pristine sound, can also help with features such as ANC as well as touch controls, the like. This is the reason why high-end TWS headphones like Sony's WF-1000XM3 and Sennheiser's MTWs come with a heavy-duty design. Fortunately, both Sony and Sennheiser have drastically decreased the size of their earphones along with the charging case and dock that come included with their retail packaging. In addition, the MTW3 are distinctively smaller in size and, despite that, come with the vast majority, if certainly not all, of the most recent technological advancements.

It's not a problem however, the earpieces will sit in your ears, so you aren't wearing the MTW3s at night as the earpieces are designed to bite your ears when you are resting against the pillow. But, it is better suited for when you are looking to listen to music while exercising or running. In addition that each earpiece weighs only 5.8g which means you won't be able to feel weariness occur even after wearing the device for long periods of time. To top it off, each earpiece provided a comfortable fit in the ear that can be attributed at a minimum to the ear fins that are bundled. It was also difficult to make the earpiece be able to fall off while exercising or doing burpees this is a great thing. The best part is that the unit is IPX4 rating, and as such, the MTW3s are guaranteed to last through your most sweaty workouts.

The Sennheiser MTW3s are elegant and will be a great fit in a workplace. However, the included case is definitely the most impressive and is sure to draw a lot of eyes. This is because it is encased in a material that resembles a fabric and is different from any similar TWS docking case available on the market. In terms of connectivity, the case has an USB Type-C port on the front that is surrounded by a LED indicator. It is important to note that you can use wireless charging, which would be a great feature.

I'd also like to mention that the earphones come with an ample touch surface that seemed to be a great fit for my squishy fingers. This isn't all, as it picked up every tap fast. Similar to other products in the market, Sennheiser allows users to modify the controls' mappings to suit their preferences using their Sennheiser Smart Control application. In addition, the application has a simple user-friendly interface. The application displays the earphone's battery and connectivity status right in the center. You can also make use of the app to alter the controls on your fingers, turn off features such as Smart Pause and Auto-accept calls or change the EQ also. When all is said and done and done, this Smart Control app is among the best applications that I've had the pleasure of using and the company should be rewarded with praise for that.

Moving to the next level, the Sennheiser MTW3s are equipped with ANC as well. However, the ANC technology isn't comparable to, the kind you receive with an item like the Sony WF-1000XM4 ( review). While the MTW3s are better at of keeping ceiling fans and AC units to a minimum (thanks for their Anti Wind feature), they were unable to block out the thumping that my computer keyboard makes, or the bustle of a bustling street, but not to the same degree that Sony's offer. I'm not saying that they aren't, but there is a difference between either night or day, and the MTW3s can block out the majority of ambient noise too. But, I think the WF-1000XM4 has an advantage on its ANC department. Additionally, you'll receive a transparency mode when you purchase the unit that functions just as advertised. Furthermore, you are able to alter the effect of the feature according to your preferences using Smart Control. Smart Control app as well and it's a wonderful feature.

To get to the heart of the issue this Sennheiser MTW3 is backed by 7mm of dynamic drivers. These earphones are able to operate over the frequency range from 5Hz to 21KHz, and can are compatible with AAC, SBC, aptX and aptX codecs that are adaptive. Note that I was transferring music to my earphones through my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra ( review) as well as Apple iPhone 13 ( review). Apple iPhone 13 ( review). The MTW3 defaulted to the aptX codec on the first, and was running the AAC codec for the second.

How are they sounded? It's amazing. The earphones' tone is influenced by bass frequency in the most delicate manner that is possible. For instance, although the bass tone does seem more prominent than like the treble output but it's not the dominant frequency spectrum. Instead, the earphones detect each note with great precision and thus paving the way to a pleasant listening experience. Consider Arctic Monkey's Do I Want to Know as an example, for instance the effect of the kickdrums is amplified throughout the entire track. Also, take note that the bass's output doesn't create a shadow on other instruments. Indeed, those who are looking for deep, powerful beats may even be surprised at the MTW3's low end prowess.

In the end, even though you'll be enthralled by the rhythmic snares of the track and the guitar strumming of the guitar or even the vocals, just as as. The low-end sound although more dominant over the other frequencies, has a good amount of texture and has a minimal decay. Yet it's not too overbearing also. The landscape remains the same when you listen to Movement by Hozier with its soaring beats that begin the track can significantly influence the vocals of the track. It was not the case for MTW3 which, though it was overturned to a pleasing 'thump' did not eat away at the vocals or the high pitch notes produced by the cymbals toward the close of the track.

It is also worth noting that the unit has an enormous soundstage and superb image. Therefore, you'll be in a position to distinguish every instrument from a chaotic song effortlessly. The highs sound a bit uneasy, however, you'll still get to listen to songs of your rock heroes with the included set. In fact, I believe that the earphones aren't able to live with the quality and clarity offered in the Sony WF1000XM4. As good as aptX may be however, it operates at an extremely lower bitrate than LDAC. Therefore, you'll see more detail coming from the WF-1000XM4 rather than the Sennheiser MTK3 Earphones. In terms of battery backup that this Sennheiser MTW3 can last up to six hours on one charge, and the case that comes with it adding two to three more charging cycles. So, you could spend days without charging your headset.

The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 costs just Rs 21,990, and, for that price, brings plenty in the way of. Although the earphones aren't as analytical as the WF1000XM4 but it does provide an immersive sound experience. Furthermore these earphones are comfortable to wear for long time periods, and they come with an IPX4 rating, too. Also, the MTW3 outshine the competitors by a substantial margin. You can be sure that buyers who want to buy a top TWS headsets will discover plenty of options here.
