Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 (ANC) in Ear Earbuds – Designed in Germany- 3 Mics for noise reduction, aptX codec to hear every detail, IPX4 splash resistant, 28h Battery, 2 Yr WARRANTY, Graphite

I gave it a little bit of time in order to pick up all the subtle changes and I can really appreciate the fact that Sennheiser has worked out all the kinks and made these the best version of Momentum Wireless earbuds. They have thoroughly perfected the previous version’s shortcomings.Who needs these?- An Audiophile who hates the “flat” and “real”sounding Audio Technicas and wants her/his music to be Trashy at times with rumbling bass on demand. (Hint: App that controls sound preferences)- An Apple user, who has elevated taste and will never be caught dead using a pair of AirPods Pro because that’s just a basic poser’s earphone who is trying to prove that they are way too busy for world problems and making “money moves.”-An Android user, who wants to prove to the world that they have good taste in gadgets and if Apple products were as good as they are advertised: they’d buy it. It’s simple logic, good things should not necessarily be expensive. A clearly evident exception though are these earbuds: Momentums are worth the price tag.- Someone who is not stuck to one Genre of music and have no qualms using an app for customising preferences according to different genres of music.Why this price tag?As your well wisher, let me tell you that if you are a little short on money, there are cheaper truly wireless earbuds alternatives to these. Boats, Skullcandy, Jabra offer really good alternatives. Hell.. I just bought Amazon basics earbuds for ₹999 and they are really good too. You can check them out.So… why are people buying these? Well, technology has come such a long way that little new developments by big companies like touch sensitivity, app support, better bluetooth connectivity are considered substantial improvements. This happens because once a new technology comes to the market substantial improvements to it are as challenging as reinventing the wheel. How can you perfect an already established piece of tech, it can be quite challenging tackling that question at times given that most of these gadgets are a perfected versions of their predecessors( id est. wired earphones- Bluetooth earphones-truly wireless earbuds).I digress.Momentum TW 1 was really good. It had all the best features but it was chunky and there was an automatic battery drainage issue. There were connectivity problems too. The app was good but it was not seamless.MTW 2 had similar problems but they were better.MTW3 have been redesigned. The earbuds are not as chunky as its previous counterparts. But a friend with small ears had mild discomfort after putting them on for about 15 mins. Bose earphones, Sony wf 1000xms, and Momentums have similar size problems. (Wink* bigger is not always better *Wink)The app is really good. I love it! It still lags a bit but the fact that it shows the battery info of the case and the earbuds, has presets and music customisation, earbuds software update availability, noise cancellation, and transparency features: it adds greatly to the user experience.Touch sensitivity is great on these, they have no battery drainage issues, and a better 7 hours battery than the standard 5-6 hours. The connectivity is strong at a distance of 100 metres but it starts disconnecting I f there are walls in between.I love the fabric design of the case that has been consistent with the previous versions. It feels premium.They deserve the tag of flagship earbuds and stand strong next to Bose, Beats, Audio Technica, Apple, Marshall, Bowers And Wilkins, Bang And Olufsen, and V-Moda. It’s a steal at 15k price mark (I gave it 5 stars for that reason) and I strongly recommend it.P.S. all of the brands I have mentioned have pretty good earbuds. Check and compare them as well. They offer fun alternatives.

I got this earbud last year a was quite happy with its performance for about a year. Then suddenly the left ear bud stopped responding. I tried charging multiple times, cleaned them as well. But only the right ear bud could pair. The left one was completely dead.Luckily it has 2 year warranty, so I contacted Sennheiser but there is no service centre in my city. I had to courier the product on my own fund. After a week I got the replacement for it. I was quite excited and the new one was working fine.Again similar issue happened after about a month on the replaced item. I got frustrated and raised the complaint and got the 2nd replacement.Till now (using it for a week) now it works fine, but I am really doubtful whether it will survive.I hope that even if it fails it should be within the 2 year warranty period so that I can replace it again.Apart from this issue it’s a brilliant earbud covering all aspects like sound quality, call quality, comfort… but there seems to be major defect in this model.I would suggest to skip this and look for alternatives or wait for the next generation model.In case if you are ready to take this risk, please note down the customer care details including its service centre office at Delhi.Good luck :)

Pros :1. Audio is Great with good base. We normally are not audiophiles, but we can sense whether the music is sounding great. Instruments can be heard separately and clearly.2. Battery Life is really awesome. After a single charge, it lasted for many days.3. I purchased the grey one and the dual tone of the buds looks great.4. They have a rubberised fin that gives a firm grip. I also have AirPods Pro, which after sometime oozes out of the ear and you need to push it back. Momentum stays in throughout.5. Touch controls are extremely good and never did I have any issues in controlling music or receiving calls.6. Mic for phone calls is good and the other person never complains.7. Each Bud can function independently. You can use either one without any issue.Cons :1. It connects with only one device. To switch to another one, you have to first either disconnect with the first one, or use the App on phone to switch devices.2. Case, although classy in looks, is bulky to carry in a pocket.3. Active Noise Cancellation is almost 50% and not as good as AirPods Pro. But good enough to fade out the nearby sounds to give you a more immersive experience.My final recommendation: All in all a great product to buy.
