Sent mine back and opted for the AZ-80. Left ear bud had a high pitch noise similar to the mtw3. By the 4th day the keaft earbud would not work with transparency mode on and was stuck in a semi wind and anc mode. The white noise is absolutely noticable.
ALL MW4 has the insane hissing and screeching in the left bud, if they don't fix this with firmware very soon, i will leave them as company after close to 20 years of business. The MW3 and 4 have been SHIT for the price.
@@FireWaiaits not sennheiser you know anymore. They sold the consumer part after the momentum 2 to a different company (i think switzerland) and they are now produced in china not germany anymore.
I love mine better than my xm4's. Music sounds more balanced to me and I love that I can put the buds in and start watching a movie on my TV and than go in my phone and listen to music without having to click and swap. But one thing I do love that my xm4's didn't have is the option to mute a call.
I've been using the second generation for 3 years and theyre still pretty great, plus I got them as a free upgrade over the first gen as the case hinge cracked. If you can get them b stock/refurbished they're excellent value.
Currently i have the Sennheiser TW4 and the Audio Technica ATH-TWX9. Hope u can review the Audio Technica coz for me it's a sleek looking earbuds with both touch control and physical buttons (stem design) and sounds amazing making it close enought to the Momentum TW4!! it's an underrated earbuds.
I really love the sound quality of Sennheiser momentum true wireless I've owned 1,2 and 3 especially 3 when the sound is personalized but the problem is they just don't last for more than 12 months The left side always breaks like sound will keep breaking up until there's no more sound on it. And it's always the left side. And you know what I'm talking about if you use it a lot and I'm talking a lot since I use it for listening to podcasts when I'm working for 12 hours then when I'm working out in the gym. So if you are buying a Sennheiser warranty is a must..
That's so damn true, I've had my first pair of Mtw 3s and after 12 months the left earbud started having issues,first the base disappeared and shortly afterwards there was no sound coming from the left.Sent them back and after 2 weeks I got a brand new pair of Mtw 3s,I used the new pair 5 months and all of a sudden the left earbud stopped charging.Sent them back and after 2 weeks they sent me a Mtw 4s,hope the new model lasts longer,but if I'm honest the sound is brilliant but I'd seriously consider purchasing Sennheiser ever again,2 pairs for a year and a half is really bad and I don't even use them that much,maybe 4-5 times a month only when I travel...
My personal experience with the second generation is that the battery is legitimately excellent for a high end earbud, I use transparency mode all the time and they last hours, the case can last days.
You won't regret it. The sound is excellent with the "sound personalization" feature. I'll give you some advice... Buy the Comply Foam Tips. They're built with memory foam... Helps with the bass and mids. And upgrades the noise cancelling. You won't regret it one bit.
I'm looking for earbuds where I can use only one of the buds at one time while the other stays in the case. is that true wireless? can I get any of the true wireless? my jabra elite didn't work. it felt when I put one back in the case and it shut off
If you have sennheiser momentum truewireless 3, then upgrading to the next momentum 4 is not a good idea. It is minor chaging for me. I changed to mementum4 because my momentum 3 has a hardware issue, I claimed it and just got the new momentum 4, which I don't see any major change at all, then stay with momentum 3 still a good idea.
Can you comment about the Passthrough Mode? I use it quite often, when walking/running. Does ANC work with the Passthrough? If so, how does it effect it? Kinda need to know this, as these are under consideration for my next buds.
Returning mine. I get occasional connection drops for a couple seconds. Also hissing in left earbud on ANC. And the app doesn’t work on more than one device at a time so multipoint is not really true. Just not at quality level of a $300 set.
I had the previous ones and the sound is great but the fit was not. Had some problems with them after six month. Connection is not that great as well. But to be honest sound and the app are good. By the way what is that yellow beauty on your wrist?!
I love the sound of.. but sent them back because of the terrible and unusable mic quality. The case was irritatingly large and the buds were too large for my ears meaning they weren’t too comfortable.
it sounds better than ipod pro 2 and Bose quiet comfort ultra. App loses connection with earbuds even while they playing music. App forces me to follow the initial connection again. Kinda bulky but they fit securely more than the Apple and not as well as Bose. The case size is a real turn off, especially in the summer when no extra jacket pockets.
The MTW 3 was supposed to support 3 device multi pairing. They really are stuck at just 2 this time, huh? That was going to be the biggest draw for me--there are so many similarly performing devices out these days that only extra features like auracast (that I'd only use maybe twice a year) and device multi-pairing are differentiating.
@@thesupergroover1339 I still have my original Momentum True Wireless earbuds that support AptX-LL and unfortunately this codec hasn't been added to any newer devices, but it provided the lowest latency of any codec by far, while maintaining IMO great sound. BT performance on the MTW 1 was just fine--only problem was battery issues. Nowadays AptX adaptive with the low latency profile is just acceptable, and in order to try out LC3 I will need to buy a very new phone or dongle just to try it. On that note, try and find just *one* review of the MTW 4 that actually tests and reports on LC3 performance. Reviewers don't seem to care enough to test it.
Seems technics is the only one to do 3 device multipoint. Know for most people, 2 devices is more than enough but I'm quite curious why only technics so far
I have the MW2 but they don't fit my ears really well no matter what eartip i use. So i will pass on this one. Always amazes me that a brand can't make an in ear headphone to fit your ears properly.
Sennheiser momentum true wireless peaked on the 2nd gen. Those I absolutely cherish. Great buds. I can't stand 3rd generation, and these are a spitting image. I'll pass. I just ordered a back up pair of 2nd Gen.
My 1 TW2 earbud which had its audio stopped working but the touch controls still working, started working again after a flick by the finger onto it. Would that fix work for you..?
@@eeboy3 thanks eeboy, I have the exact same issue as you but mine is the right bud. I've tried that it sounds as though I've dropped it in water but I haven't. I might just sell them as spares
Had two separate MW3 buds and one pair of MW4, and i love the sound of them after some heavy tweaking (it's shit out the box) but the MW3's both died from faulty batteries in the left bud, on the same day, despite being bought a year apart. The MW4 is the same, shit sound out the box, but lovely after some tweaking. And the personalization tool actually works well for us that don't understand the finer details of an EQ. Everything is the same as MW3, but perhaps a tiiiiiiiiiny bit better. Except the Transparency mode. The insane hissing and screeching on the left plug when you have it on is beyond me how it made it out the factory. Apparently ALL MW4's have this issue? That is absolutely pathetic and for me, using them at work and constantly going between transparency and music to talk to people, i can not stand it. I will send them back soon unless they ship a firmware-update or something, and after having been a customer for well over 20 years, it feels really sad to see Sennheiser fuck up 2 products in a row this badly.... But at least they sound great when playing music?
What do you mean by "switching from transparency to music" ? That's how I expect any earbuds to operate. Enable transparency to talk to people, disable it when you're done, and you have the option to pause music on transparency mode
Can anyone give a real answer on if these should be bought or not and address the earbuds dying problem? I’ve seen so many comments about them dying after a few months and I can’t find any vids about them dying.
@@ethyn2912 I ordered the Jabra Elite 10, test them for 20+ days and sent them back when I realized the MTW4 are being released, because i thought they should be better. Oh boy was I wrong! I got the MTW4 3 days ago and sent them back in less than 24 hours. They feel outdated as hell. Yes, great sound, but terrible design, fit, heavy, subpar ANC, ridiculous case, bad call quality (just pray that there is no wind, or nobody will hear you). They are not even close to the Jabras in many areas. And the Jabras still have amazing sound. Not to mention in comparison IP54 for the MTW4 to the Elite 10's IP57. Its a big money grab with zero research and development since 2022 that the MTW3 were released. I dont understand why anyone would spend so much money for these and reward a company that doesnt take the effort to improve their products. I ordered the Jabra Elite 10 again today. Its not even close in value for money and overall performance.
I have the Jabra Elite 10 and found the bass was dead. I use Poweramp App to sort the EQ out and they sound amazing. I have ordered the MTW4 and will decide between the two. Both from Amazon and will be in the return period.
Can anyone share a real review, not this useless advertisement for us who have owned sennheiser buds before. Were only here cuz we wanna know if theres any reason to upgrade from the 3-s to the 4-s. Thank you!
Yeah I have pixel buds pro because I have a pixel 7a and I like the Google assistant integration ECT but I was ok because I got them new for 130 quid on Amazon which considering being true wireless they wont last forever battery wise u have to find the balance
If you don't give a crap about sound quality, ANC, custom EQs, Ambient sound, good call quality and many more, then by all means stay with your skull candies and shut up. This product is not for you.
Yeah... no. If you can't hear the difference, that's fine, and you're lucky. You probably are just satisfied with the TV sound, without external speakers (eg: a soundbar), too. You get to save money, which is always good. That being said, for the more distinguished ear, who CAN hear the difference, paying more, get's you more. You can hear the difference. I've used buds from the £20 range upto the £300, and generally the sweet spot is around the £100-150 mark. Going above that gives you higher diminishing returns. At this price point I'd expect great sound, that's a given, but you're more competing with great ANC, latency, various gimmicks, and so on. Personally, I need good passthrough, with ANC blocking the harsher tones of the street. Sadly, this review didn't really touch on the Passthrough mode, it looks like he kept it disabled.
