    ADDITIONAL NOTES:
    DESIGN
    Includes silicone wing tips now
    Improved ear tips that don’t get clogged
    7.5/30 hrs battery
    Qi wireless charging: 8 min = 1 hr
    Aesthetics - I LOVE the fabric case
    Now 3 colors available (black graphite, white silver, black copper)
    IP54 certified
    FIT TEST
    Solid, secure fit. If it’s warm out and you move a lot, they can work their way out of sweaty ears. The fins can prevent this quite well
    COMFORT TEST
    I wore this on a 6 hour flight and slept for about three hours with these in the whole time. They successfully blocked out a crying baby on a redeye flight
    ANC
    Adaptive ANC
    ANC test
    Very subtle white noise
    Always adaptive - I wish I could just max it out and have total silence where I cannot hear my keys typing
    TRANSPARENCY
    Transparency test
    SOUND
    Adjust sound via personalized profiles, 5 band EQ, sound zones, sound check, or pre configured
    Snapdragon Sound and the S5 Sound Gen 2 platform. AptX lossless codec delivers lossless audio with low latency
    These support up to 24 bit 96kHz audio - I got the lossless audio firmware update already
    Claimed latency of less than 20ms
    MICROPHONE TEST
    FEATURES
    Auracast (available via firmware update)
    LE Audio
    Bluetooth 5.4
    Multipoint connectivity = YES
    Auto play/pause = YES
    Battery protection mode for a longer lifespan
    App tour - the app was actually nicely redesigned
    Controls are FULLY customizable
    CONS
    They are still a bit large. The redesign last year was great, but there are smaller options out there
    Not ideal for running or working out - the sport ones would be better for that
    Auracast is not available yet
    $50 more than previous gen, but the same as gen 1 and gen 2. Actually if you account for inflation, gen 1 would be $367 in today’s dollars
    PRICE: $299
    CONCLUSION:
    These are genuinely futureproof. If you buy these, you might not need a new pair for quite a few years. This is a common tech theme now
    Pretty much everything on my checklist for earbuds exists here. Sennheiser, if you’re watching this, great job!
    The only things I would like to see next year would be better ANC and better earbud locating features - much like AirPods UWB finding abilities
    Although I still lost my airpods 3 and I have yet to ever lose sennheiser buds
    These are nearly perfect earbuds. ANC is the only compromise. My personal favorites for working at my desk or just hanging out

    @shainegill-ohrt4382 2 місяці тому +3

    I went from the MTW2 to the MTW4. The musical brilliance of the MTW4 is amazing. However, there are some areas where the MTW2 is better in my opinion. These are:
    1) Transparent hearing mode on MTW2 is better. The MTW4 system constantly tries to artificially suppress external noise, especially when the mode is set to anything less than maximum. Becomes very apparent in areas that have air co systems. I almost started to feel nauseous.
    2) While the fit is nice, the long term wear of the MTW4 can be a bit painful depending on your earshape
    3) The sound personalisation is a great concept, but it's really hard to keep mids in check on these. Random high hat slashes can seem really harsh.
    4) Some of the instrument placement can seem a little artificial.
    Is it worth to upgrade? Purely on the basis of clarity, it's a yes. But bear in mind the upgrade isn't perfect...there is a very good reason why the MTW2 still retail at close to the level of the newly released MTW4.

    Great video, as usual! I don’t see a lot of reviews for the TOZO T20. I know that company puts out a lot of earbuds; some decent, others not so much. But I’m curious if you’ve tried these. They are the best-sounding buds I’ve listened to, under $50. More like $30 on Amazon. Rich, boomy bass but also respectable instrument separation. Qi charging, independent use, decent call quality. They definitely stay in during a run. I like the battery level display on the case while charging. I really can’t say enough. The T20’s are a bit of a homerun for their brand.

    one crucial defect for me the impossibility to switch between anti-wind and noice cancelling mode. These are the two modes that I use most, and being unable to easily turn on and off anti-wind is a pretty huge problem for an earbud that literaly amplifies wind noise when in noice cancelling.

    • @sennheiser
      @sennheiser 2 місяці тому

      Defect is probably not the right word here - transparency mode takes input from the mics on the outside of the earbuds; wind reduction mode deactivates some of the mics. Through the Smart Control App you can quickly activate these features. You can customize the controls and make it faster to get to ANC mode, if that helps shorten the trip.

      @@sennheiser let's call it missed chance then. The product is good, but it's not user friendly for those like me who move around with the earbuds in the ear, and I'm saying it as someone who has been using Momentum 3 for over a year. Very conflicted relationship, loved the sound, but really hated having to open the app to switch between modes.
      One of my friend bought Momentum 4, and the improvement here is that now you have a button to turn Noice cancelling on/off, but not to switch between noice cancelling and anti-wind.
      He's gonna return it because he has my same issue. Is it that hard to make an option that allows to switch between modes? Other minor brands found a simple solution to that, why can't you?

    Though there is wind noise in passive mode (unlike the quiet Buds2 Pro). Also when connecting to my phone, it doesn't remember the last settings I had it on which is annoying. But other than that, excellent excellent sound and noise cancelation.

    I have these and will be returning them. Sound quality is very good. But they are HUGE... with just ok ANC. But my biggest complaint is the mic quality for calls is absolute trash especially if there is any kind of noise in the background. I test a lot of buds. I'm an Android user and my best overall bud that does it all is the beats studio+. The sound quality is decent ANC is decent but the mic's do such a great job especially with loud noises and less than half the price.

    My problem as an Android user, has never been the sound quality of Sennheiser products. When they work they are the most excellent sounding products ever produced. My problem, the main reason why I returned two different Sennheiser headphones and earbuds, is the connectivity issues. They simply don't consistently stay connected. Certainly not with my Samsung Galaxy and also not with my other devices. It's just not practical to deal with frustration of a constantly disconnecting but great sounding product.

    I have the 3s. These don't seem like such a big upgrade which is fine. The biggest issue with the 3s is QC. Had mine for 8 months and they are acting up. The right bud doesn't charge consistently and the microphones are acting very strange. Like a weird high pitched hiss will start coming in making them unusable.
    Amazing sound quality so I hope they've fixed some of these issues.
    Also, the transparency mode picks up way too much wind noise. My pixel buds pro do a great job cancelling this out. Do these improve on that regard?

    The only reason why I will rethink this time from buying these bud is the build quality. Last 2 version momentum 2 and 3, I had both but they were very fragile. If you drop the bud couple of time, its will end up with some problem. This is something brand needs to address. Overall no doubt on the sound quality it top quality... but at that price we want the bud to last more than the warranty period.

      The codec support is a 2-way street and requires the phone/tablet/dac/computer to support it. If it is not supported by the audio source, it goes down to the best available. If a large consumer electronics device manufacturer wanted to introduce AptX Lossless on their phone, for example, we would be ready for it. The internals have been overhauled so we expect a much smoother user experience.

    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....

      Yes, I had them for 5+ days. I returned them because they would reconnect to my phone every time I put them into the case and the Sennheiser app settings, specifically the touch controls, would not stick atter disconnecting the earbuds. I also don't see the hype with the MTW4, and I previously owned MTW3 and the over-ear Momentum 2 and 3. I stumbled into the Denons as I was reading reviews about the MTW4 and figured for $50 more why not try. The sound blew me away after running the personalized sound tuning utility.
