Excellent sound, still one of the best!
Color: Black
Update: 5/13/22 I’ve been using the newest generation of these for about a week now, and virtually every item that needed to be updated or improved on these was upgraded with the exception of the equalizer limitations. I would recommend the momentum true wireless 3’s for better sound, more effective features (like active noise cancellation) and a much more comfortable fit. These still produce a superb sound, but not at the level of the most recent addition to the momentum true wireless family. Original Review: Ive had these since they were originally released, and in that time true wireless earbuds have become something of a hobby for me. If you are on the fence between these and another brand, then maybe this review will help you make the best decision. My review is based on comparison to the following wireless earbuds and headphones: Airpod Pro, Jabra Elite 75t, Jabra Elite 85t, Bose QuietComfort Earbuds, Master and Dynamic MW07 Plus, Technics True Wireless (EAH-AZ70W-K), Jaybird X3, Jaybird X4, Jaybird Tarah Pro and Sony WH-1000XM3 (Like I said, this became something of a hobby). Of the varied brands and models listed, if there wasn't a distinguishing feature or characteristic that would lead me to use that pair over of another, they were returned. Of the earbuds that I have tried, I can say without hesitation that, if sound quality is your primary concern, then these are the best available. Despite standing out in overall quality of sound, there are a few points about the Sennheiser Momenturm TW2's that are a disappointment and that need improvement. My biggest complaint about these is low volume range. For streaming music, I subscribe to Amazon's HD music service and Apple Music. There are a number of albums on either service that, for whatever reason, play at a much lower overall volume. If listening to one of these albums on the TW2's, more often than not, I go to turn the volume up for a song and discover that they are at the maximum volume available for the earbuds. I do not suffer from hearing loss of any kind, and my volume preference falls well short of excessive. Even when the music I'm listening to isnt comparably quieter to most other songs/albums, these are almost always within two or three levels from max volume. Compared to other earbuds, I usually leave the volume at 60-75% of max, and 80-85% with music that plays at a lower volume than most. I should not have this problem with a pair of earbuds priced at $300. There are a few other points that need improvement with these, but in my opinion, if this wasnt an issue these earbuds would be near perfect. The other points that should be improved are the same ones that people most frequently mention. The app, though better than some, leaves something to be desired. Specifically, the equalizer can only be described as a functional disappointment. This is less of an issue for me than other reviewers, and by comparison, I find the Sennheiser app to be far superior in all aspects to the app provided for use with the Bose QuietComfort earbuds. As disappointing as the sennheiser equalizer is, its still better than not having one at all. My other grievances with the TW2 have to do with the silicon earbud tips that are provided. These fail to create a very good seal which causes the noise cancelation to suffer, and leaves the feeling of fatigue if the earbuds are worn for an more than an hour. I tried a few different replacement tips that all were capable of fixing this issue. The memory foam tips improved sound isolation and niose cancelation the most but seemed to negatively impact the quality of sound. I like Spinfit silicon replacement tips for comfort, and the improvement in isolation, but I get the best results using ALZA SednaEarfit XELASTEC 2. If you give these a try, order a size smaller than what you normally wear. I use a size large with the silicon tips that came in the box provided by Sennheiser (that come with the earbuds) but wear a Small-Medium with the SednaEarfit thermoplastic tips. ... show more

Momentum True Wireless 2 - a great upgrade to my MTW 1st Gen - why did I wait so long?
Color: Black
Look up my reviews by clicking on my name to see my lengthy positive review of the 1st Gen Momentum True Wireless. I loved the MTW1 sound that was full and rich, spacious and refined, but maybe slightly darker sounding. My only concern of the original was the shorter battery life (about like a 4 hr AirPod), and the battery would drain when sitting unused in the case, forcing me to leave them plugged in all the time in order to be ready to use at a moment's notice. I have 2 pairs of 1st Gen, one for my computer and another for on-the-go with my iPhone; because with 1st gen if you went to another room with them in the case and then popped them into my ears they would accidentally connect to the computer in the first room (the last used device). Then I couldn't always get them to connect to my phone that was with me unless you went back to the computer in the other room and manually disconnect from it. With MTW 2 you can go into the Sennheiser app and disconnect or connect to any devices you have paired with, without physically going back to the 1st connected device to disconnect. Jabra 75t can be connected to 2 devices at the same time, which would be nice to have here (watch movie on PC, answer call on phone). With the MTW 2 the battery doesn't drain when in standby while in the case anymore, and now I don't pick them up after being unused for a while to find the battery flat. Although I haven't tested the 7hr battery life claim from full to dead, they outlast my 1st gen for sure. I can only tolerate universal fit in ear monitors for about 4-5 hours at a time, as my ear canals feel itchy from the silicon tips (I prefer to use custom molded acrylic earpieces). When I need to use a true wireless all day long, I have to use my Powerbeats Pro which rest at the opening of my ear canal instead of sealing inside the canal. The transparency mode isn't too quiet anymore, so I feel safer when walking down the street with these in my ears - it's almost as good as Apple AirPods Pro transparency, but not quite, as it is slightly more "hissy" in transparency mode than Apple. The transparency mode sounds that are filtering in aren't tinny sounding like Samsung GBuds+ or Jabra 75t, but rather it lets full frequency sound through. And, with passive mode or with ANC on there is no hiss. The Sennheiser ANC mode is an appreciated addition vs the 1st Gen, again not quite as good as AirPods Pro or Sony WF1000-XM3, but it does help a lot with fans and running water or car engines. It's maybe as good as Master and Dynamic MW07 Plus ANC or slightly better. If my ear canal size wasn't somewhere in-between medium and large silicone tips, I guess I'd have a better seal and better ANC performance. Sound quality beats the AirPods Pro again with more realistic timbre and tone than Apple; and it also adds more detail and clarity vs the 1st Gen Momentum TW, without losing the open and spacious soundstage of the 1st Gen. Sometimes I turn up the bass in the Sennheiser app just a little for quiet listening, and it remembers those settings when I switch to using them with my MacBook - the Sennheiser BT LE app will let you control the EQ and settings from your iPhone while listening with your MacBook, if you need to make changes. But I am perfectly happy with the Momentum True Wireless 2 with no EQ as well, just like my original 1st Gen MTW that sounded a little darker without EQ. The Jabra and Sony can be EQ'd via their app to make them sound closer to the Sennheiser, unlike the GBuds+ (horrible in-app EQ) or AirPods Pro (no EQ). My Master and Dynamic MW07 Plus have a U-shaped frequency response and no app to EQ at all, so Sennheiser wins there. However, the EQ'd Sony XM3 doesn't sound as spacious and open as the Sennheiser. EQ'ing via the Sennheiser app doesn't introduce any distortion that I have noticed, and you can use two different interfaces to EQ the sound, depending on which way is easier for you - a single slider to get a curve, or 3 sliders for bass, mids, treble. I'd like to see a 10 band EQ, but there aren't enough flaws in the sound to need that fine of tuning. The programable features available in the app are much more complete than with the Gen 1 MTW. I can choose how I want taps and press-to-hold to work, but out of the box the settings are good. Now I can get "play" with a single tap on the left side and "Siri" with a single tap on the right side. Same with Transparency and ANC mode vs skip forward and back, where each side is doing something different - I can double tap on the right to go into transparency and triple tap do ANC, but I have the left side do skip forward and back with double and triple taps. Press and hold left is volume down, and on the right it's volume up. That's 4 functions per side, 8 total, and nothing is missing. Some of my ear buds can only do 6 functions with taps/press due to duplication of a tap on both sides, and so I can't control volume or some other feature. Overall, the Momentum True Wireless 2 are a great option for music and phone calls, having added sidetone (your voice) when on a phone call, which Momentum TW 1st Gen doesn't have. These have improved battery life, great sound (via AAC, SBC, or Aptx), and a lot of features of which you are in control. Now my main complaint is that while the charging case is slightly smaller it's not as small as I'd like for keeping in a front pants pocket vs the inferior sounding Jabra 75t, Samsung GBuds+, or the AirPods Pro. And of course, I miss the Qi charging of the Galaxy Buds+ and AirPods Pro. If Apple and Samsung can squeeze that into a smaller case, Sennheiser should have tried too, especially at this price point. ... show more

Great Sound, Battery Life, Comfortable, Secure Fit, Decent Noise Cancellation
Color: Black
I'll be comparing three different pairs of headphones, as any one of them would have top marks by themselves, and my review would be meaningless; With this price point they had better be decent headphones. The headphones I'll be comparing are: Apple AirPods Pro (referred to as "Air" from here on), Sennheiser CX 400BT (referred to as "CX" from here on), and Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 (referred to as "MO" from here on). Moving on. *Sound* All 3 sound great, but the MO was the clear winner, giving the most true-to-life sound, including all of the subtle highs and lows. The Air was a not-too-far-off second; it lacked some depth in the high notes. The CX wasn’t too far behind the Air; it had better sound, however, it had significant issues stemming from noise cancellation, see below. *Noise Cancellation* The Air definitely has the best noise cancellation, for me; it isn’t especially awesome, but it’s adequate for most situations. It’s probably about as good as you can expect in this price range, but cannot compare to over-ear headphones. The MO wasn’t too terribly far behind, and may even have better noise cancellation, but due to fitment issues, below, the seal wasn’t good enough to cancel out most of the noises around me. The CX has no noise cancellation. I didn’t realize how big of an issue this would be, but when I actually manage a decent seal on the ear buds, I can hear my own breathing (not a mouth-breather, by the way!) almost as loud as my music. This was the deal-killer for me. Otherwise the CX would be on par with the others, and at half the price. *Fitment* Both of the Sennheisers fit identically, and are a better fit, in that they actually stay in my ears. However, as stated above, the actual buds don’t fit my ears; I seem to be right between the small and medium buds. The Sennheisers kind of twist into your ear, and hold similar to a sport headphone, which is nice, but also a nuisance. The Air’s buds are a much better fit, but they don’t stay in my ears at all; The slightest movement and they fall out. I bought some “ear hooks” for them, and they stay in my ears perfectly, now. However, the ear hooks add just a hair of silicone to the exterior of the headphones, which caused me discomfort after a few hours (Note: this has nothing to do with the actual headphones). *Battery* I want to say the Sennheisers’ battery lasted way longer than the Airs (a full work day). That said, I did not pay attention to how long it took them to recharge in their case. The Airs seem to only last 6-8 hours (I should mention I have long work days, haha), but I watched their battery level for a couple minutes the first time I charged them, and they were charging about 1% per 10-15 seconds. Assuming it actually keeps that pace, that’s a full charge within 16-24 minutes, which seems pretty good to me. One charge drained the Air’s case by 20%, so you get 5 charges out of it. Unfortunately, I don’t recall most of this stuff with the Sennheisers. *Technology* I’d say that none of them stand out as being better here, just different. The Sennheisers might have a slight upper hand, as they have more controls available to them, but some of them make no sense to me, and there’s no way to reprogram them (as far as I can tell. It may be possible via their app, but I imagine this is specific to the device, and I want them to work the same on all devices. Also, both Sennheisers have issues with the fact that all controls are right on the face of the headphone, and it’s almost impossible to put them in your ears without touching the face. The Airs CAN’T CONTROL VOLUME! For real?! You have to control it from your phone/listening device. This absolutely drives me nuts (at least 20 times a day). The Airs actually has a button on the stem that you have to push for all of the controls. I was under the impression it felt seamless, similar to a touchscreen; Not the case. Lastly, based on their product description and reviews, it seemed that the Airs can only connect to Apple products, but based on their incredibly short manual, it would appear that it can indeed connect to any bluetooth device (unfortunately all I own are Apple products, so I can’t verify this). All 3 headphones pause your music when you take them out, which is nice. I sure wish I could turn them off (without putting them in their case), but none of them allow this. *Summary* For myself, I opted to return the Sennheisers, and plan to stick with the Air. The Sennheisers had more significant issues involving fit and noise cancellation, and the Air has more significant issues with the interface (no volume control), and don’t stay in your ears without outside assistance via ear hooks. ... show more

Great sound, great features. 5 because 4.5 isn't possible, and 4 is too low.
Color: Black
Actually worth listening to, just to listen, not merely as something to kill time and cancel complainers at the DMV. If you like Sennheiser, you won't be disappointed or surprised by the quality. A tight fit is absolutely essential for the best sound. I still need to play with the different ear pieces to find the best, most comfortable fit. Popping those little thingees on and off is very annoying, and the sound Q I'm getting doesn't motivate me enough. Many of the following features may not be unique, but they're new to me, and are useful rather than just bullet points for an ad campaign. The noise cancelling is great. I was listening on the porch when a plane flew overhead. One tap and the plane disappeared. I'm sure the loud explosion that followed had nothing to do with it :-(. A fun fact for the tech minded: With noise cancelling on, I put them both in one hand for a second and heard some Jimi style feedback. It made perfect sense in hindsight: mic + speaker --> feedback. The EQ and "hearing test" to calibrate it work well. More bands wouldn't hurt. The app works great for me: it's basically use once and forget, although I can see people wanting to choose different EQs in different environments. Showing the battery % is nice, but a widget would be very nice. It has remote controls for the 'phone functions if you don't like using the buttons. Sennheiser, if you're reading this: *Please* add a balance control. I'm a few dB down in one ear. Most UIs are very, very bad. When the only input is two buttons, it's even harder. The ascending tones to let you know that multiple taps are actually being recognized means you don't need to guess at tapping at the right speed. Do: pause/play. Do re: |<, Do re mi: >|. Activating a mode, e.g. NC, plays an ascending tone, and vice versa. I've heard that i[am over priced]Pods do this, but Tim Apple's[sic] corp isn't my fave. The ability to remap the buttons implies *real* feedback from users. I never imagined this a mass market product. Being a CompSci type, the more configurable things are the better *cough*Emacs*cough*. The mapping to call up the "Assistant" app was instantly deleted with much rejoicing. Even the default mappings show ergonomic sense. |< and >| on the same side means you don't need to move something in one hand to the other. I often listen to audio books/radio plays with one bud in bed. While trying to fall asleep, rolling over does not help. Volume is easily adjusted on the phone with the side buttons, so the volume up button isn't needed. Volume down on the left is smart That said, the buttons themselves are kind of wonky. Sometimes it takes a few taps to get it to be recognized. Other times it seems like a breeze sets them off, sometimes actually registering two taps. I've only made a few test calls and they were good. When I got them, it was asking me (quite politely) to upgrade the firmware. Given my background, I know that for anything that doesn't already Halt and Catch Fire (HCF), upgrades are to be avoided. Checking the group mind, it was recommended. Installed it and nothing broke. However, while looking for FW feedback, I noticed that the 'phones were heavily discounted. All fine and dandy, except, the company on which you are reading this review, told me that this was a Unique Sale Just for Me. The price, 1/2 off, was exactly the same everywhere. Ever watched the movie "Despicable Me?" First word. Moves like this can change a go-to place to not. Easy refunds, however, are not to be sneezed at. The only reason I was convinced a sale like that was real was because I've seen a many reports that they are legit, because the RNG sometimes smiles upon us. When an already good product is replaced by a new version, companies legit want to flush olde stocke. To me, that's a selling point. This is actually my preferred way of buying stuff, because the next version is never 2x as good, and can be worse. New products often have problems, and sometimes they are are done to lower the manufacturing costs (aka boost profits) with "acceptable" losses to quality. One gen back is the best way to buy electronics, given that all your requirements are met. Buying a product that's had years of reviews by people w/o $pecific motivation$, are the safest way to go. Hope this helps. ... show more

Far from perfect and don’t last more than a year.
Color: White
These fit well once I replaced the rubbers with some spares I had around. They are pretty good looking and the controls are easy if not too easy. I purchased because I have Senn’s PX550’s and they are possibly the best piece of audio tech I’ve ever bought. I have a newborn and they save my sanity with air filter, fan, humidifier, room heater, washing machine and dryer all going at the same time which they eradicate while significantly cutting his screams down to volume that doesn’t make me want to jump out the window instead of mixing his formula with one hand at 2 am. I thought these EarPods might be as impressive. Not so. Negatives: Active noise cancellation on EarPods is barely noticeable. There is just to much bleed for the system to separate out the exterior from the interior and still keep clean sound from the speaker. I think I will just search for the best sound I can get without ANC. It is a nearly pointless battery sucking, expensive gimmick. I have noticed a click when walking on on speaker. Could just be the ones I got though. The signal does disappear momentarily from my phone while in my pocket sometimes. (when passing some larger banks and electronics stores hmmmmm?!?! ) Positives: the music reproduction is superb. The controls are easy as is the pass through option, so effective I forget I have them in sometimes. They are pretty stable for jogging but maybe not for sprinting as dropping them might be catastrophic. All in all if you absolutely must have in ear ANC then I’m sure these are in the top three or so. I will probably switch to some cheaper ones that won’t fall out ever and won’t break my heart if I drop them. Also learned I don’t need freakin ANC even in NYC. A YEAR ON: The little things do get annoying. A click in one ear when walking about once a week. The falling out/needing adjustment every 300 paces or so. January 2023 And then……left ear just stopped producing sound. They have effectively died. Done all the resets and updated firmware to latest. Nothing. Ear piece is still controlling volume and phone the same. But zero sound out of it. Nada zip zero. From everything I can read online. There is no fix. So with whatever small problems they have. They also only last about a year with 15 hours a week use. Kinda annoying for that much money. I’ve had wired pods from lesser known companies that have lasted three times as long. Off to spend more money….mission accomplished …but not on Sennheisers. ... show more

Excellent for My Limited Needs for These NC Earbuds
Color: Black
I guess I'm what you'd call an "audiophile". I own multi-thousand $ headphones like the Abyss AB-1266 Phi TC, RAAL SR1a, Abyss Diana Phi, Audeze LCDi4, Sennheiser HD800S, and JH Audio Layla custom IEM played through even more expensive DACs and amps. But I'm also a very mobile kinda guy who spends hours at the gym and going on long hikes on a daily basis. I can't use those things for such endeavors. I wanted the "best-of-class" for my daily gym workouts and I had owned the original Sennheiser MTW for some years but decided I could use an upgrade. I also own the AirPods Max for business travel for trans-Pacific and cross-country flights in the US. My use of the MTW2 is limited to gym usage but I can compare how these NC earbuds sound compared to the MTW and the WF-1000XM3 which I've now passed on to my wife and son, respectively, as well as the TOTL audiophile headphones and IEMs. First off, the Sennheiser "voicing" has always been pleasant to my ears. Every headphone/IEM manufacturer has their own "house sound" and Sennheiser's sound has always sounded better *to me* than that of other "mainstream" brands like Sony, Bose, AKG, Beyerdynamic, etc. It isn't a bass-heavy sound and that's good because I don't like hip-hop, rap, synth-pop, EDM, etc. The Sennheiser house sound is more suited for a more natural, neutral and balanced sound for classical, jazz, acoustic, rock, and genres using acoustic and electric (not electronic) instruments. If you need lots of boomy bass, I'm sure there are better options. This is not to say that the MTW2 is "bad" for hip-hop, EDM, and synth pop. I like good tight and punchy bass as well but I simply want it balanced with the mids and treble, not stand out on its own. With the stock ear tips, the MTW2 sounds a bit thin and lacking body so I use the Comply TrueGrip tips and I get the fullness in the lows without losing the clarity and transparency in the mids and the highs. I only use the MTW2 for the gym and occasional outdoor outings. For hiking and most outdoor usage, the Audeze LCDi4 has no peer but it only sounds its best with its own CIPHER cable with built-in DAC. The LCDi4, even with the BT module, is too cumbersome for gym usage. For intense physical activity, only wireless in-ears will do and that's why I had the MTW and why I upgraded to the MTW2. I'm only focused on sound quality for what I do with it, which is gym usage - including playing racquetball. I do not use the MTW2 for anything else. I don't use it for phone calls or for watching videos, etc. So, I cannot comment how it performs for such usage cases. I'm only going to comment on the sound quality for the money and I can say that it sounds really, really good for $250. In-ears won't have the "big sound" factor of over-ears but I actually prefer the sound of the MTW2 over the AirPods Max. For me, the AirPods Max is mainly about having a comfortable ANC headphone for long flights and the occasional hot tube usage. But, if I had a choice for "pure" music listening experience, I'd choose the MTW2 over the APM. The MTW2 has clearer and more transparent highs even though the APM has the bigger sound and deeper bass. Obviously, the MTW2 is not going to compare to the $2500 LCDi4, $5000 Abyss AB-1266 Phi TC ($3000 more for their TOTL cable option) or the $2700 JH Audio Layla and other "audiophile" headphones and IEMs that often require DAC/amps that cost even more but I can say that I'm quite impressed with the sound quality - especially for gym and mobile usage. It has a very balanced sound (especially with the bigger and better sound-isolating Comply ear tips) that has a wide soundstage (if not in depth and height) with good imaging and separation of instruments across the stereo spectrum. For $250, it really delivers an excellent sound. I have a home setup that costs more than a nice car and I never feel like I'm "lacking" when listening through the MTW2. Although I mainly listen to classical, jazz and acoustic, for gym workouts I'll play energetic rock, metal, synth pop and EDM because, well, you need energetic music to get you pumping iron and running around in the racquetball court to whack the ball against the wall. Beethoven's string quartets and Diana Krall jazz crooning just won't do. So, with the MTW2, I'm blasting Meshuggah, Prince, Grimes, Zeppelin, Korn, Orbital, Armin van Buuren, etc. to get through the workouts. After the workouts on the way home from the gym, I'd play relaxing classical stuff to unwind through the MTW2 and I can say it all sounds great. I'm very happy with MTW2 and I had the MTW for years. I wouldn't say the improvement is night-and-day or anything like that but it's enough to justify the upgrade. The soundstage is wider, the highs and the mids are clearer with improved imaging and the bass is tighter and punchier. I recommend different tighter-fitting ear tips to improve the bass response and better sound isolation to complement the "okay" ANC. With the Comply ear tips and loud energetic music playing, I can be inside the deafening racquetball court and not hear the ball bouncing and be immersed in the music. Most of all, the MTW2 delivers excellent sound quality for the money. If the SQ is the most important factor in your decision for BT in-ears, I highly recommend the MTW2. ... show more

Good earbuds with many bugs.
Color: Black
First off, the earbuds and case both exude a premium finish. The sound, although not even close to that provided by a decent pair of circumaural/supra-aural headphones, with their proportionally larger drivers, is very good for an earbud. Battery life is solid, but not spectacular. Unfortunately, even with the latest firmware, I’ve encountered numerous firmware bugs. Transparent hearing occasionally kicks into overdrive and amplifies external sounds to the point you can hear a pin drop. Other times it barely lets you hear a conversation. The earbuds can get confused when enabling tranparent hearing and it will inexplicably take multiple attempts to engage it. Since it normally works, and the earbuds are providing normal audio feedback when tapping the control, it’s as if they’re busy processing something else and not able to respond to the requested action. Sidetone is, for me, completely insufficient on phone calls, doesn’t work at all when using the earbuds as input/output devices for online conferencing, and doesn’t work at reliably when transparent mode is turned on (it’s dependent on the transparent mode audio gain, which, as mentioned previously, seems random), meaning that when putting the headphones into transparent mode, you can’t necessarily hear yourself speaking, which creates an odd sensation in your ear, and also results in raising your voice much more than is necessary to communicate with someone. The microphone quality, although this is probably not the primary reason for buying these earbuds, is quite poor; worse, in fact, than first generation AirPods. While I wasn’t expecting the open sound stage and immaculate reproduction of Sennheiser’s over-the-ear HD600 phones, I’ve found that even compared to the relatively old and inexpensive HD545, these earbuds have a dipped midrange, slightly muddy bass, and occasional sibilance in certain treble frequencies. Surprisingly, I wasn’t able to obtain an ideal fit with any of the 4 pairs of silicon tips included with the headphones. I was able to get better fitment from a $30 pair of wireless earbuds I recently purchased (although they sounded miserable), so I think Sennheiser could look a little more carefully at the tip shapes they provide. I compared these to some older Shure E3C wired earbuds, and found the Senns had deeper and more accurate bass reproduction, but the comparison also made the Sennheiser’s dipped midrange very obvious. Acoustic instruments, which I normally absolutely love Sennheiser for, simply do not come through with the instrumental separation that I would expect. These buds seem very much targeted to playing popular music from a mobile phone. I found that the noise cancelling feature was almost completely useless. In fact, as opposed to my Sennheiser PXC650 on-ear headphones or my Bose QC headphones, which instantly and dramatically reduce ambient noise when enabling the noise-cancelling feature, I could barely tell any difference between noise cancelling enabled and disabled regardless of the situation or external noise source (household appliances, computer fans, traffic, conversations, etc.). I would give the NC performance about 1 out of 5 stars for its dramatic ineffectiveness. The natural sound-isolating qualities of an earbud with a silicon tip are fairly good, but I definitely expected more from the electronic noise cancellation feature. The app is acceptable, but the equalizer controls are very poor. I’d prefer an old style EQ display, allowing the relative adjustment of reasonably selected frequency ranges. I’ve read complaints about the earbuds not automatically pairing with a previously paired device, and having to disable bluetooth on the device they last connected to, but this is actually not a problem in practice; if you hold the left and right earbuds for 3 seconds, the earbuds will go into pairing mode, and you can reconnect them to the desired previously-paired device by simply selecting them. There is no need to touch the previously used device. Many of the problems I encountered can likely be addressed through firmware and app updates, but I do think Sennheiser should have done a bit more usability testing before general release. All in all, I thought the earbuds were nice, but, despite the rave reviews, I don’t think they really rise to the level of a $300 flagship device. At $150, I would rate them a solid buy (although I’d still be out looking for that elusive $300 flagship model). ... show more

Fantastic sound and good Active Noise Cancellation. If you love your music these are for you.
Color: Black
I started off with the Jabra Active Elite 65T which I thought had really good sound. At the time, these were the best true wireless ear buds I had tried. Then the bad, I lost the left side IEM. Luckily I could still use the RH IEM to make calls. I seen the Jabra Active Elite 75T's were coming out so I pre-ordered them. The Jabra Active Elite 75T's didn't fit well and they kept falling out of my ears. On top of that, the bass was on steroids, extreme steroids. Some people like their music that way, but it was over the top for me. I tried using the equalizer and it just sounded worse. Sorry for the long story but this is how I came to buy these Sennheiser True Momentum 2's. I also preordered these. When I first listened to these I thought "WOW" these are great! The sound quality and sound stage are "FANTASTIC". I ran into one issue with my first set. The charge status light on the battery case couldn't make up it's mind as to if it had a full charge or a partial charge. After a full charge the battery case light would be green until I pulled the ear buds out and would turn amber. Then it would be green if I pushed the button again. The another press on the battery case button and the light would be red and then amber. CRAZY! I Emailed Sennheiser customer service, they were no help. They didn't understand the issue I was trying to explain. They finally said don't worry about it because they have a 2 year warranty. Really?! I returned them, AWESOME customer service from Amazon! and got another set in 2 days. These replacements are working great!! Two items I might say are cons: 1-Although the silicone tips are good, for this price Sennheiser should have supplied foam tips too. 2-These are pricey for ear buds. I knew that when buying them. Was it too much? You be the judge. Finally, In my opinion, the sound from these IEM's and rival some of the better wired IEM's like the Westone W40, and the Etymotic ER23-HF3. Update: now that I have had these a while, I will say that comfort, battery life, and music quality is fantastic. In my earlier review I didn’t say anything about call quality because I had made only a couple of phone calls. Now that I have made dozens of calls, everybody love these over the Jabra Active Elite 65t’s. I am told they sound very clear and have good tonal quality to the person receiving the call. I still really like these a lot. ... show more
