For me the most important thing about sports earbuds or in general is first of all the comfort and also the occlusion. I can justify the price of the Jabra, Beats and JBL with all the extras they offer, but these Sennheisers don't strike me as any better than the Earfun Free Pro 2 which cost $60-70. Thank you for the microphone test in real situation. 🙏🏽
Sounds like another really good option for workouts. Looking forward to your Sennheiser comparison as well. I got my Evos in recently and I've been impressed with them so far. Although I realize there's a substantial price difference I'd be interested to know how you think the Evo sound quality compares to the Momentum 3. Thank you for another excellent review! 👍
Nice review! Looking for some earbuds for skating and snowboarding. Do you think these are the best option? Actually, I like the cx plus more (ANC and design), but I'm afraid that they won't stay in the ear securely enough. What do you think? Is there a big difference in terms of secure fit?
@@AndysTechTone so would you rather recommend the CX Plus? I had hoped the open earplugs from sports would be useful there. I am worried that the CX Plus will fall out if you fall if they are not tight enough. The sport cost me 89€ and the CX Plus cost me 104€ right now at sennheiser. Or do you recommend a completely different model?
Andy, I love your videos! Would you honestly say that an earbud without wings, like the jabra elite 4 or 7, stays in as well as a wing design, like the bose or senheiser sport? People seem to say that it does but I find that hard to believe! just wanted to check with you before I buy! Thank you in advance :)
Size, fit, shape and weight can mean more than any wings. At least that is my experience. And yes, the Jabra 7 won’t even budge in my ears. But that’s just my ears and the 7s. I’ve never tested the 4s though
@@AndysTechTone very interesting! I thought wings were essential! many thanks once again :) I'll prob go for the jabra over the senheiser sport then...
Nice review. I have a question. I have the CXBT400. I like how they sound. Should I upgrade to the CX Plus for the ANC or is it not good enough? Thanks!!!!
I really wish companies making "sport" headphones would stop trying to make their retention mechanisms so minimal. Some people with their ear shapes have really good luck with the retention, as Andy did in this video. However I keep running into situations where I buy these sorts of earbuds because they worked well retention wise with whatever reviews I'm watching, just to have them spit themselves out as soon as I start actually working out in them regardless of tip/wing configuration. Imo, the powerbeats got it right in this regard. Unfortunately, because apple things, they don't work the greatest with android. Also, maybe a hot take, but this fad of touch pads on earbuds I'm really not a fan of. Especially on sport headphones because when I'm using them I usually have sweaty hands, or have chalk on my hands from lifting.
I hear you, I’ve had my fair share of trouble with earbuds that seemed to work well for most people like Jabra. Our ear are different so you are right, earhooks might be the safest option in general. In term of controls, I mostly prefer physical buttons on sport buds myself but the touch controls on these buds work pretty well even during running and with sweaty hands too. However I don’t have much experience with chalk…
The beats fit pro are the best fitness earbuds at the moment imo. The sound quality is good enough for workouts, but the fit/security, comfort, anc and transparency is second to none... I use the MTW3 for my gym workouts and beats fit pro for outdoor running and biking
Looking forward to your Sennheiser comparison and one thing would be very interesting to know: do the fins of the sport fit on the momentum 3 as well? And if yes, do the momentum still fit in their case and can be charged?
Hey please compare Bose Sport Earbuds against Sennheiser Sports Earbuds. Both are missing ANC nd TRANSPARENCY. But Bose is priced higher. I’m thinking of buying one of them.
As a runner, transparency mode is second only to comfort. These look great and probably sound good, but lack of transparency for safety is a deal breaker for me.
Hope you get to check out the Sony Linkbuds S soon. They appear to be a more compact XM4 alternative tho due to the lower price they have cut some features such as wireless charging. Also because XM4 has been on the market for nearly a year (likely to get replaced by XM5 later this year) the price diifference is not as big. These are also not as small as the 1More Comfobuds Mini you reviewed but they do have LDAC support like XM4's.
I purchased this one 2 weeks ago and I really like the design as it stays secure in my ears. However, my small ears fit the smallest fins and tips only, which are the toughest and they hurt my ears a lot. I wonder if there is any way to soften them.
I have these headphones. I will say this much. They are not very comfortable. After 40 minutes my ears hurt and I have big ears. I am tall 6'3".They have a lot of bass. Too much for me. The sound is ok, but momentum plays better.And most importantly These are quiet headphones.

100 euros/dollars would be a more realistic price point for these buds
🔥🔥🔥 crazy video quality. you deserve a lot more subs!
Thanks Max, working on it 👍
Ive got more than 10 different TWS and as long as the fit is snug the ANC doesnt matter imo. On over ear headphones its much more important

That’s something I’m curious about myself. Evo vs MTW3 🎶
Can you do sport with the evo or are they falling out then ?
@@mysteriousstranger332 the Evo buds are secure enough in my ears for workouts
I've bought them today. Totally satisfied.
That’s great to hear 👍

I would rather be worried about the lack of transparency mode on the Sport buds for safety reasons

I use my Beats Fit Pro for most of my workouts too. I don’t really know the reason, it just happens to be the case… 😊
"They failed to deliver the turd".
That statement made my day! 👍🤣👍
Looking forward to your Sennheiser comparison and one thing would be very interesting to know: do the fins of the sport fit on the momentum 3 as well? And if yes, do the momentum still fit in their case and can be charged?
The Momentums have their own fins too
@@AndysTechTone i know, but the fins of the sport are bigger and would probably give an even more secure fit if put on the momentum
@@andrew.9255 just checked, the sport fins are not compatible with the momentum
@@AndysTechTone too bad but thank you very much for checking 👍🏼
Hey please compare Bose Sport Earbuds against Sennheiser Sports Earbuds. Both are missing ANC nd TRANSPARENCY. But Bose is priced higher. I’m thinking of buying one of them.
I just did exactly that 😳
@@AndysTechTone 🤣😂🤣
As a runner, transparency mode is second only to comfort. These look great and probably sound good, but lack of transparency for safety is a deal breaker for me.
That’s why I said Sennheiser should have put at least transparency in the buds
@@AndysTechTone I would even pay more for that feature. It looks like they were trying to reduce the price point.
@@eriktred they needed something at a price point between the CX and CX Plus

These are also not as small as the 1More Comfobuds Mini you reviewed but they do have LDAC support like XM4's.
I’ll review them at some stage for sure but I don’t see it happening soon…
Compare to the bose sport earbud which is great sound and comfortable?
Bose wins both for me
I purchased this one 2 weeks ago and I really like the design as it stays secure in my ears. However, my small ears fit the smallest fins and tips only, which are the toughest and they hurt my ears a lot. I wonder if there is any way to soften them.
Not sure there is. Maybe they get softer over time
@@AndysTechTone Thank you, I will try it more
Do these have the same sound quaintly as True Wireless Momentum 3?
Nope, their sound is warmer and less open
Is it really good sound compatible with Apple phone ? Coz for my understanding the sound with an Android is much better !
It’s good enough with AAC as well
The only thing that discourage me of buying this is that tha case is huge!
And i always have my earphones in my pocket
Yeah the case is definitely not pocket friendly
I have these headphones. I will say this much. They are not very comfortable. After 40 minutes my ears hurt and I have big ears. I am tall 6'3".They have a lot of bass. Too much for me. The sound is ok, but momentum plays better.And most importantly These are quiet headphones.
Let's hope the new Momentum Sport buds will fit your ears better. I can't wait to test them...
How do they stack against jbl reflect mini nc
