Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless review

Everyone wants to sell you a pair of true wireless in-ears - but not many companies have what it takes to compete with Sennheiser. You'll find daintier options, not to mention cheaper ones, but you won't find better-sounding buds at this price. 

Sennheiser is a premium audio company and the Momentum True Wireless headphones are stylish and sound amazing. Unfortunately, no amount of style or rich audio quality can make up for a product that is ultimately flawed. No matter what the price, I wouldn’t be able to recommend them though. Not...More

There are some clear positives to the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless earphones, such as the balanced sound and the cute and quaint design, but the comfort is something we flag as a bit of a problem, and one that produces a dilemma: for as good as the Momentum True Wireless earphones are, it’...More

Purely sound wise, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless are absolutely amazing. They might be the best sounding true wireless earbuds on the market, and that’s saying something. The clear highs that aren’t too harsh, the strong punchy bass, it all made me want to love these earphones. But the awful battery issues really kill the experience.

Sennheiser, as always, lays stress on really good audio performance and if that’s what you prefer the most, the Sennheiser True Wireless Momentum earbuds are completely worth its price. However, the earbuds aren’t comfortable for long sessions and battery life is average at its best.

They are a premium product though, and as such they carry a premium price tag. At $499 AUD they are not an impulse buy for most people, but as a high-end pairing of Sennheiser’s sound quality and engineering prowess with fully wireless earbuds they will definitely serve you well.

The limited battery life of any of the true wireless earphones makes them impractical for all-day travel but well suited for an afternoon out and about. In addition to the physical format, the sound quality of the Momentum True Wireless is better than I expected. No, they do not compare to the au...More

If you're willing to pay a premium, want the convenience of this fit and style, and want to compromise as little as possible on sound quality, then the Sennheiser should be your top pick in this segment. The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless is a rare example of a headset that doesn't sacrifice t...More

They sound absolutely great, they have some nice features, decent battery life, but they aren’t the best for calls, and the biggest deal-breaker for me is the fact that they’re just not comfortable to wear for extended periods.
