I actually own both the TW4 and the AZ80 and really like them both. I bought the AZ80 hoping to return the TW4, but when listening to the sound quality side buy side I slightly preferred the TW4 especially using the personaized sound settings on the TW4 app. I have decided to keep them both thank you for your insight.
This is a really great video! Thank you for your honesty and how descriptive to detail you are!
Thanks for the info. I just ordered the AZ80's. Can't wait to give them a try.
Keep'em comming!❤
I love your videos. Is there a pair you prefer over the az80?
Great review! I actually believe you are honest compared to many other review channels out there
My biggest preference in earbuds is the rumble/immersiveness they can give (without sounding muddy ofc), which so far the MTW3 were my favorites.
Would you say the Technics are better for that compared to MTW3/4 (or maybe you know an even better one)?
Thank you for this review. I was leaning towards the Momentum 4s, but after seeing this I am going with Az80s. What ear tips do you use for the Az80s?
I’m using the ear tips that came with the AZ80, they perform great.
If you want some alternative I’d recommend:

Fredo, can you tell me your absolute favorite earbuds if I had to choose one or two? I use the Meze Advar IEM’s with an Astell & Kern Kann Max mostly and when working out at the gym an iFi go blu with iPhone 15 Pro. I’m a Hi Res audiophile! Thanks for your reviews and time.
Lol these questions never get answered sadly
Do you reckon you could do a review on the denon Perl pro? They’ll blow everything out of the water especially for sound quality
Knew which ones I wanted within 3 minutes thank you!
Could you do a comparison between oppo enco x2 and senheisser momentum tws4?. I know they fall into completely different price brackets. But that's exactly why they should be compared. Because as per all the reviews i have seen both have fantastic sound quality. And there is no comparison video between the two.
Nice video brother, Wish you best, Keep it going✌️
Really appreciate this impartial review!!!
Congratulations for this clear and honest review.
I was really hesitating between these two headphones.
I come from the senn TW3, who have already had to go to technical service twice!!
Now I have my new Technics AZ80 and I confirm EVERYTHING you have detailed in your review.
The Technics are EXTRAORDINARY!!
Thank you very much again for your detailed, quick and honest review. The best for you from Barcelona.
Yes Yes
how's the quality control and the call quality experience going for you?
Whats crazy is I had to send my mtw3 in for warranty repair as the right side went bad. I made a joke saying you should send me the mtw4 and they did!
Love the AZ80’s they grew on me. They weren’t “loud”enough initially but they expose details in the music I did not notice before with other earbuds.. I have airpod pro 2, soundcore NC 4, liberty 3 pro and had Sony Xm4 but returned them due to ear irritation. Technics sound so clear they are now my go to - even at the gym.
Can you take call calls with just the left buds on both of these tws?
In terms of SPL, wich offers more db?
I was all ready to buy the Sennheiser’s, but after this quick and through review I’m leaning towards the Technics AZ 80’s. Thanks Fredo, you saved me some grief.
Can you do a review on the Nothing Ear (2) ?
That would be very interesting, especially against your Tozo Golden X1
And secondly, would you say that the Technics AZ80 even surpass the Airpods Pro 2 USB C ?
Sorry anything surprises airpods 2 lmfao that's such a flat sound it sound be compare to these guys. It's not even close you can even get 70 dollar earbuds with ldac an it would still sound better.😂😂
Nice comparison video!
I'm just curious if you experienced the same issue DHRME had mentioned with your Technics AZ 80?
The electric guitar distortion?
@@Fredo.heavyy - I think that's what DHRME mentioned. And mostly happened with rock music, so that's why the AZ 80 couldn't be his daily driver.
Are you having similar experiences?
@@Fredo.heavyyI have been wondering this too. It's what put me off from the AZ80's
@@Fredo.heavyy yes
I just got both of them. Technics fit better and feel better. Their transparent mode is better. Noice canceling almost similar to me maybe a bit better on technics. The sound though is a bit better on MTW4 imo even though I dont have support for aptx adaptive they might sound even better. Might send back MTW4 because just a bit better sound won't do it for me.
Thank you for making me try AZ80 haven't heard them before
Edit: MTW4 ANC is better but I hate a backsound noice they give me when using ANC they also sound louder
People around me can hear Technics more than MTW4 even though they are not louder
Dude this is a phenomenal review, easy subscribe
Thanks man
Can you try the MTW4 with comply foam tips and tell me if it changes your opinion on them soundwise??
Mediocre German garbage
I put comply foam tips on nearly all my buds. (Currently own 13 different sets) I have Momentum 3 not 4 (everyone including Senny say it's same sound profile) and AZ80. I would say the AZ80 are the better buds in every way, except possibly sound quality. TW3 sound improves with comply and after sound customisation. AZ80 are more balanced 'audiophile' sound. TW3 more bass heavy but very impressive and personally I would give TW3 the win on sound....just, but not in any other area. If sound is your main priority buy the older TW3 and save some money, better still is the Status Between 3 ANC which is MUCH better than TW3 or AZ80 for sound. Devialet Gemini and oppo Enco X2 also both better for sound than either of these buds imho.
Even though I have the Technics eah800 Headphones, and currently own the soundcore liberty 3 pros, I wanted to upgrade from the liberty's- in your opinion what is better the latest Bose qc ultra buds or the Az80's?.
The Bose Ultra have a lot of issue (here in the US).
They lose connection, the left ear developed a buzz.
If you are outside of the US and like best ANC then Bose Ultra, if not AZ80z
I use Bose QC II , very good ANC and I like the sound. Problem are there is no multipoint connection and occasional dropped connection. So if I were you go for the AZ80. Mine is UK version QC II
This is exactly what i was looking for, thank you!
*Edit*: I can't wait to order my Technics AZ80'S :)
Love my AZ80s. Thanks for your review.
Excellent and accurate review. Thank you! Question: I lost the charging case to my AZ80s, and can’t find how to replace it. $300 earbuds are now unusable! Any idea where to find a replacement case?

What is your opinion on the Beoplay ex are they worth a look?.
They are worth a look, but you'd be better off with the Denon PerL Pro
Nice vid bro. Just recently got the TW4 and it's good. I can understand loving it if all you care about is sound quality and not much else but I agree it's not the overall best option for the $300 category. One quick question I hope you'll be able to help me out with. Anytime I take phonecalls it automatically switches and stays in full ANC mode and for the life of me I can seem to figure out how to get it to stay in transparency mode cause the toggle just stays grayed out. You happen to have any advice how to fix that? Trying to get it to work 100% how I want so I can give it an honest run but so far I'm not super impressed
not much else? what more do you want????
@@LocutusOfWarborgOneOfOne comfort?

Great vid. My MTW4s will arrive today...finally.
I know you’ll enjoy them! Interested to see what spin fits you might attach to them.
@Fredo.heavyy probably the CP360 or Omni. If I keep them.
Two of my favorite reviewer's
Mediocre German garbage
I have a hard time choosing which spinfit to buy causr they only come in one size and very expensive @@ronontech
do you think we will see an AZ-80 mk2? also, you chose white over black on AZ's? curious why? 🙂thx
It’s possible maybe in Q4 of 2024.
I usually go with white earbuds so when I’m in the gym people can clearly see I’m listening to music and won’t bother me 😅
The silver AZ80 look great IRL
@@Fredo.heavyy
I hope they won't come so soon, otherwise this year's purchases will become worthless.
Technics AZ80 the KING
What are your thoughts on anc and transparency with these 2 buds?
Both are good, AZ80 is better.
Would you say the az80s are great for intense exercising? I have the sony xm5s and 4s and theyre great except the tips get gross if they accumulate sweat. Trying to find excellent sound quality and noise cancelation + can handle abuse from training.
The XM5 are awful for working out, surprised yours haven’t melted from the sweat.
You gotta get third part tips like Spin Fit Omni.
I use the AZ80 for work outs, the ear tip contains a foam insert that really protects from sweat/ear wax.
Check out third party ear tips for your XM5 before jumping to AZ80.
Have you tried the Denon PerL Pro or Nuratrue pro?
Pearl Pro is a game changer for me.
100% agree with the reliablity issues with the MT3's.. Had a warranty claim (that wasn't easy to get worked but did after weeks) with one bud, and 6 months later, the other bud has same issue of not charging...Think i am still under the 2 year but will be throwing them away... Sound however is amazing compared to all (tried sony xm4 which were weak), Jabra - weak. AZ80's, any issues?
Awesome review been waiting on a comparison on these two... Just by ergonomics, praticality and comfort ...AZ 80 wins hands down for me and 3 device multipoint connection is such a nice feature ..it means you can connect to your phone, tablet and laptop at same time seamlessly
nice one fredo! usually youtubers that is doing review for fun gives honest review..really appreciate it
keep on doin your fun job.
If anyone is bought it is this guy. He is completely full of shit. I collect premium earbuds. The a MTW4's are actually very very good. I was anticipating I would return them if they didn't live up to the hype, but now I find myself wearing them more than my Devialet's and Bowers & Wilkins. The "meaningless codecs" and "overrated Bluetooth" and "boring specs" are what makes these so good. They have great bass, clean highs and lows, great battery life, and the EQ works fine (note that the Bowers & Wilkins don't even have a customizable EQ whatsoever and sound amazing). This guy is a self-proclaimed Apple airhead. He knows nothing about technology outside of whatever sub-par gadgets Apple markets.
I both have the earbuds and with personalized sound with MTW4 the AZ-80 is not even close MTW4 is by far the best quality sound when you have it personalized. and stop scaring people that they are selling their data when they use personalized sound in MTW4 because you are already selling your data to IG,FB and UA-cam and other social media.. the only downside in Sennheiser since I've owned MTW 1,2 ,3 and now 4 is they will only last for 10 to 11 months you'd be lucky if they last more than a year. Idk if Sennheiser is doing it on purpose or it's program to break but the issue is left earbuds will always die and I'm not talking about dead battery it sound will start breaking up on the left earbuds then all of a sudden it's completely broken no sound or whatsoever it happened to all my MTW 1,2 and 3 and I'm using my earbuds heavily at work and gym so if your buying the Sennheiser make sure you buy that warranty because dealing with manufacturer warranty was terrible.
coming from Airpod Pro 1, I tried AirPod Pro 2, Bose QuietComf Ultra and the Sennheiser True Wireless 4. Sennheiser sound came on the top. I agree about being bulky but it is my fav, so far. Have not tried the Tech AZ80
I've had my AZ80s for almost a year now & the volume doesn't seem as loud as it use to be.
Sent my MTW4 back today and picked up the AZ-80. Youre definitely on point with your opinions. The sound, for me, the mtw4 does sound a bit crisper but the bass is lack luster. The AZ-80 on the other hand the bass is damn good and balance. And the transparency mode is absolutely better than the MTW4.
Comply Foam Tips would've turned your MTW4 into a beast.
Try them, when you have a chance, you won't regret it
I had the AZ80 and sent them straight back. The Sound is lacklustre. Sennheiser MTW3 beat them hands down. Denon perl pro are the best sounding of all.
Another great Japanese product
Not happy with anc
My air pods pro are BETTER
Was @ Best Buy earlier today
They CANCELLED NOTHING 😩
@@paulatkins2825Really? I feel the opposite. Emphatically.
Which one is louder please?
i ended up going with the jabra elite 10s after trying a bunch of different buds. they are just so comfortable with such awesome clean powerful bass and nice tiny case. got them on sale for $200 and they blow my momentum 4s and quiet comfort ultras out of the water. how come you didnt like them? theyre sooo good.
Had them for a week, used them on long bus ride to Boston (12 hours round trip) etc etc
Weren’t a great fit for my ear shape (always felt they were sliding out a little ) probably due to silicone coating.
They’re not “bad” buds and they’ve since got a software update so I should retest them in 2024.
Which color way did you pick up?
@@Fredo.heavyy hmm I responded but my comment is gone? UA-cam has been weird with comments lately.. they auto delete half my comments I think 🤣
I got the matte black and they're on sale right now for $200. The comfort is actually what shocked me the most about them. Love that soft rubber feel and I like the tips. The full sound and powerful bass is what kept me coming back to them though
@@Fredo.heavyy they sound horrible with their stock eq presets. Had to play with the eq and boy! it changed the sound drastically. Haven't seen an earbud with such bad default eqs/presets ever. I too had problem with the stock tips. I inserted sony wfxm4 spare foam eartips and they fit better. They fit better with normal silicon tips too. Stock tips aren't good for me.
my technics az60 doing great, senn momentum 3 broke twice. i dunno how ppl are getting bought into the mt4. thanks for keeping it real Fredo
Please make comparison between az80 and az60m2
I had the Technics AZ80 for a week... I N S A N E, the first time I listened to my usual rock music, I was blown away... now I know how good looks like for earbuds! Thanks a lot for sharing these reviews
What did you have before?
@@nulla9601 AirPods Pro 2
Even the ANC I found more performant the technics probably because they are earbuds covering the entire ear
It suck here in canada we always have to wait for ever to get the new gadgets, even online, right now I can even find the az80
What do you think of the Devialet Gemini 2 fleas?
It's the best sounding of all of them. I had all of them for comparison. But sending them back because they are too expensive. Battery will degrade over time and battery life starts at meh. If I pay $450 then I expect to kept them for more than 5 years.
Very nice mids and highs, but although the bass is very punchy, there is not much rumble (like the MTW3/4 have) so I personally didn't like them and returned them to stick with my MTW3.
So it depends on your music taste.
The Devialet were more comfortable tho and a lot smaller.
The ANC on the Devialet were ok but not great
@@nulla9601
I understand. The rumble was as good as my mtw3. But the big difference was the technicalities. Awesome imaging and separation in the Gemini 2. Matched or exceeded all my iems $400 or below
It drives me nuts because I also live in New York City, and It gets annoying when you hear somebody in the other answer. I cannot hear and say that you sound far away or like a payphone, etc. What can I recommend me, MTW 4 or AZ80? When it comes to calling quality, I watched your video. Regarding call quality, I had difficulty deciding which one to use; I'm not a fan of Apple, but I have an Android.
Change out the default silicone eartips on the MTs for foam tips like the ones from Comply. The difference is night and day. I don't have the Technics (maybe my next purchase?), but the MTs (with foam tips) sound better than everything else I have (Apple, Sony, Samsung, B&W, Bose). Edit: don't have the Denon's either and I've heard they're amazing, but not really interested in wearing earrings in public tbh.
How about Technics AZ80 vs Nothing Ear 2... currently i using Nothing Phone 2...looking for your response...
I had the Nothing Ear 1 and they were cool (design).
Wasn’t blown away by sound etc.
I know the news one have smaller case but did they fix the connection issue?
@@Fredo.heavyy in looking for good sound...others ANC or Multipoint connection doesn't matter to me..
Currently i heard Ear 2 solve that also DMS was tunning the sound for them...im looking forward to heard your review nothing ear 2 and compare to Technic AZ80
What do you recommend as the overall best earbuds currently?
Technics AZ80
SONY WF1000XM5,TECHNICS AZ80, HUAWEI FREEBUDS PRO3............
great review. All of my sennheiser buds (mtw2&3) died or stopped working after about 6 months to a year. They sound nice but don't last long at all. I'll never buy a sennheiser product again.
Why Elite 10 are trash? I can recall only a couple issue outlined in your review 4 months ago - silicone coating & accidental touches. But as you rightfully mentioned - these may be not an issue for others depending on their anatomy and style of use. So I'm a bit confused here now.
To be fair I’m looking to retest them but as of right now the sound isn’t better than the AZ80 or even the Tozo Golden X1.
Also the Jabra Elite 10 mic wasn’t great for calls, is there a software update that fixes this issue?
The Elite 10s are not trash but the open air oval tips they come with are. I bought some traditional tips for mine and they work amazing.
@@Fredo.heavyy I don't know about SW updates, because just considering them to buy 🙂 I'm really willing to end up with buds that could be switched on and off independently of the case (and are overall good ofc). Or wait a year or two if nothing decent found.
@@winb83 Thanks for sharing. Oval tips are something I'm curious to try myself to understand if they fit me. I had not great experience with round tips in the past - they gently pop out over time due to jaw movement etc.
Jabras have had an update recently and fixed more than 10 issues. There is a whole list. Like loads of improvements. The bass is great with Poweramp EQ app.
This is a hard one. I have A-B testing these. TW4 much better for ANC but much worse for transparency - no only a hissing but an occasional crackling. AZ80 has better connection, even on LDAC. TW4 for me gave a better fit (the wings are great) but the tips are rubbish. AZ80 case is much nicer. Controls are good on both and well configurable but AZ80 seems less prone to accidental touches. For all that I would go with the AZ80s. But the sound quality on Android is streets ahead on the TW4. Actually, not really the sound quality - they are both very close (once you have sold your soul and done the sound personalisation on the TW4) - but the soundstage is so much wider, even using LDAC on the 80s. Tough decision and the return window is approaching!!!
I do think you should try them on Android. There is a noticeable difference on a higher bandwidth codex than on iOS (I use both)
This is a great review if you’re a Technics fanboy. 🙃
Don’t waste your comment, say it with your chest!
What earbuds are you rocking?
People at BestBuy weren't around to open the case, so went to a competitor and they had the AZ80's which weren't available at bb.
Watching this review before opening them and testing 😅 Hope the review and comments solidify my choice.
I get it, but it's a real shame $250+ earphones can't be tested in store or returned. It can be a gamble.
AZ80 are great buds, I use them everyday for almost a year now and they still sound and fit great.
Fredo, thanQ for your XLent, honest-to-goodness review. From Oz
The silver AZ80 is currently on sale! Just purchased it and can't wait!
Where?
Amazon
Did you like them? Can you share your experience with them?
I bought my AZ80's on Black Friday for$225.(Amazon) With tax I paid $240. Love these buds.
Great
Thanks for the review, you are enthusiastic. Some strong claims there. That many other reviewers are liars. I am sure some of them might say you are the liar. The fact is everything is subjective and I see some experienced reviewers say the Sennheiser 4 Momentum are the best earbuds at least when it comes to sound, better than the Technics AZ 80 and all other competitors, while others say the Sony 1000XM5 are the best, others again claim the Airpods Pro 2 are the best, and others again say the Jabra Elite 10 are the best. On top of this you have many who claim the Denon are the best of all.
I believe it all comes down to personal preference because no earbuds are perfect in every category. For some ANC is important, for others it is unimportant. For some sound is King, for others it is comfort. For some bulky earbuds are a no-no regardless of quality, for others it is unimportant as long as quality is high. And you will find fanboys of all varieties on UA-cam downtalking competitors (focusing on problems with certain buds and falsely saying they are bad overall) and uptalking their chosen earbuds (conveniently forgetting to mention downsides). I think we just have to accept that this is the way it is in 2024, because there are a lot of quality products out there, and make our personal selections based on testing and our own judgement and preferences.
The personalized EQ makes a BIG difference for the MTW4
Unfortunately doesn't improve the comfort.
Been using the az 80s for almost a year and i love them and i actually had the momentum 3s before and didnt like them to much especially there fit the fit wasnt great, so overall the az 80s are the best out there
I had both and I returned the AZ80's and let the MTW4. Better fit for me and better ANC. Sound was slightly better on the AZ80's but what good is that if they weren't comfortable for me. Senns all the way.
I agree with with you. I own both earbuds, AZ80 and MTW4, the latter is replaced by the malfunctioned MTW3 by the repair center.I don't find the MTW4 any/ may be little improvement in sound quality. I still love the AZ80, stable connectivity on LDAC, just lose a horse-nose in sound quality when compare with the pricey US$499 Svanar wireless.
Your videos made me want to hate the Sennheiser 4s but thinking independently I still gave them a shot and after actually using them in the real world for a few weeks I love them most. I'm an athlete and a musician so I'm able to have a slightly different perspective I tried the technics and Sony buds but I like these best with the slight white noise being the only negative for me. But I'm an android user and I also rarely keep my buds in my ear when I'm not using them so that's not a big deal to me personally.
I had the Momentum 3 and they were my favorite sounding buds... but they failed, just like the reviews you've mentioned. After seeing so many reviews about poor quality control, I can't bring myself to purchase the Momentum 4 that is obviously a repackaged 3. I'm giving the Technics a shot.
One very small issue with AZ80: they have a lot of seams to clean with a toothpick.
And i decided with Cambridge Audio melomania m100 👊
Revised versions of an item is good. If it isn’t broke don’t fix it. I have both and momentum 4 is better in my opinion
While I absolutely agree AZ80 sound better, I'm not sure if using an iPhone you'll get the best test for these two earbuds, LDAC and Aptex HD make quite a difference and while you hear the general sound Sig, you're definitely not getting the best out of either using AAC, iPhones really only sound decent with the white ones on spacial audio
White ones on spacial audio? What is that?
It's been almost two weeks since I contacted support to resolve a headphone mtw3 warranty issue. Other than “We appreciate you contacting us,” I heard nothing else. So draw your own conclusions, guys. Regarding the quality of Sennheiser customer service. I lost all desire to do business with them and continue to buy their products.
As a fellow New Yorker your reviews and how u test them in the real world is fire I appreciate it

I use the tips that come in the box, they’re honestly work great for me.
Maybe some spin fit Omni tips would work for you?
@Fredo.heavyy Thanks I tried all that came with earbuds but no success.
Just ordered AZ80, I was the victim of poor quality control from MTW3. Shocking warranty service, must have proof of purchase. Do not become one like me. Video is spot on , no BS
Have the EX2, AZ80, MTW4 and Ap Pro2. I bought the 4s against your advise simply because there's more info out now the has opposite views. Sound wise the EX2 is the best, loud, crisp and bassy, second for me is the MTW4. I don't have the MTW3s so I don't care how they compare because for me it's a fresh start and I just judge them on their own. I place the MT4s first for overall package, firstly that they fit the best of my group, and have much more features than the EX2s which have virtually zero ANC.
This is my experience with these buds. Hopefully I don't have any qc issues with the MTW4s because otherwise I honestly think they're pretty amazing.
That’s fair, glad you’re enjoying the MTWS4.
Are you using a custom EQ or did you use the “Sound Personalization” feature?
anc NOT GOOD ON SENNHEISER
SOUNDS GREAT

Plz share which ear tips you put on the MTW4s.
I have read max volume of AZ80 is low compared to other earbuds. Can anybody confirm this because I am really interested in getting AZ80. Thanks.
Do you honestly listen to earbuds at max volume?
@@kingnova117 That is not what he said, but yes they are not as loud as other earbuds so no headroom for some quieter recording's.
@@humeyboy Thanks. That is what I meant.
The truth is that brand new out the box you might “think” they’re quiet.
But put them in +super bass EQ and play your favorite genre, they burn in very nicely.
I have no complaints w/ volume and I test them side by side w/ all major buds
Thanks.@@Fredo.heavyy
So, you didn't put in the MTW4s with a twist? Only with the AZ80s? The instructions state to give them a twist to have a snug fit and with great sound. And with the MTW4s, you can hold on the edge w/o touching the sensor. This is a horrible review of the MTW4s.
This is kinda horrible comment.
Watch the video again, you can twist the MTWS4 till you’re blue in the face, they don’t have an ergonomic fit, just hard lines and mediocre fin
There are many buds I have that allow you to insert and adjust better than the MTWS4.
Your experience may vary and that’s ok.
MTW4 Mediocre German garbage
5:13 In Sennheiser MTW3 I can do a single tap to pause music+turn on transparency without any jingle. Technics cannot do that AFAIK, and this is for me a deal breaker, as I want to be able to talk to people at the gym quickly, without removing a bud.
Sennheiser has AptX, which has the best tradeoff between bitrate load and sound quality. Technics does not. (I'm an Android user)
Agreed with the rest of your thoughts.
You're correct, I appreciate that feature on the MTWS3/4.

The MTW have the better sound to me, and have the better bass.. the az80's bass sounds recessed and the fit was to big for my ears..MTW ALL DAY FOR ME
Bose ultras ❤ 🎧
I don't understand why sennheiser doesn't produce good tips
It makes no sense, i too had to swap out tips multiple times cause these buds always find a way to be uncomfortable despite the comfortable design.
How about Devialet Gemini?
Yes! The Devialet Gemini 2 is the favorite among my TW´s..
They are really good, ANC and sound, but expensive. Just dont buy the Devialet Version 1, even not at discount, they still have massive battery drain problems with this version.
I haven’t tested but will consider them in 2024
You're right fredo, Sennheiser tw3 are terrible. I had to switch them out TWICE, left bud dying constantly, just terrible. Tw4 just seem so sketchy to buy for me at this point, they're basically a hastily done facelift. It's a shame, because I liked sleeping in them, but them dying on me 2 times while still on warranty is just a deal breaker.
Auracast doesn't matter because you're an iPhone user?? Call me confused.
Anyway, I'm an EU citizen so things like the GDPR make me less worried about my data.
Oh, and my MTW3 developed battery issues, but so did my Sony WF-1000XM4s. Pretty sure it can happen with any brand.
I think you're too critical of the Sennheisers in general. There are way better reviews out there.
Edit: ok, watched it until the end now and all I can say is: people, forget this "review". The AZ80 seems like a very good choice, with a very neutral sound, and I still might consider them, but even the Sennheiser MTW3 was already great too. Better sounding than the Sony WF-1000XM4s for example. The XM5s did catch up I think, but the Senns were still great buds. The MTW4s add BT 5.4 and Auracast. They also have improved ANC. I agree it's not a huge upgrade, but again, the MTW3s were already very good.
I agree. Az80 is clearly better (looks, sound, comfort, transparency).
But Many reviewers are not lying when they say the mtw4 is great. That's because they actually believe it.
With that said, if you compare mtw4 to many other tws sets then you will see that they are great imo. It's only a few (not many) that beat them out. But over 95% of all people will be happy with them. That's the uncut truth
Here's my ranking
1. Devialet Gemini 2 (best sounding by noticeable margin but don't buy unless you are rich). I recommend only if price
I appreciate your input I got MWT4 last week I am not that impressed. Just got Denon pro today haven't spent time with them yet. I feel AZ80 are solid neutral sound. I was just debating Gemini 2 today, are they that good ?
@@drastikjdm4door yup. But not worth the price imo. Maybe 350 tops. But they are the best sounding tws set out there easily.
I agree that the Technics az80 sound better than the momentum 4. I listed momentum in 4th place. So at least 3 sets sound better.
Anyway for people who don't have anything to compare the momentum with then they will be extremely happy with them. How do I know?
Well I was until I tried the above. And I gave my momentum 3 to a female friend. She liked them so much (never heard anything that level of sound quality before) she fuckk me several times in gratefulness 😊
Clearly 🤔
How about the B&O EX?
I've noticed many UA-camrs highly recommend them.
If one can afford the Devialet Gemini 2 then the B&O shouldn't be an issue.
@@drastikjdm4door- what things were you not impressed with about the MTW 4s?
Did you have the MTW 3s?
I can’t afford the MMT4 I will buy the MMT3 soon instead of 4😅
dont. they stop charging
I do like the tattoo in the finger of fredo more than this buds😂
Xm5 is the best earphone😊
I agree
@@Fredo.heavyy I love Sony sound
I agree that the MTW4 has issues regarding ANC and the hissing noise, but much of this video is pure bias in favor of the AZ80. I mean, “the wing on the mtw4 only does so much”, and just biasly ignoring ip ratings and even changing the subject and giving the win to the AZ80 🤣
Man is ignoring all the testing I’ve done w/ all the buds on my channel
You believe everything off rip?
I have a bridge to sell you.
Easy. The technics are the better one. Clear.
Sending back MTW4. The app is buggy and doesn’t pair properly with the phone if you are using multipoint (two devices like a phone and a tablet). The ANC is OK but nothing especially amazing. The sound is good but not on the same level as Bowers & Wilkins or others. The case is bulky and hard to pocket. Using personalization requires you to create an account. It’s just an overall not very premium experience. It’s just another set of TWS buds and not worth the top tier price they charge. And there are odd buzzing noises or hisses if you use ANC or Transparency mode, especially on the left bud. I am not sure why ANY reviewers are hesitating to mention all these problems. This was at best a cosmetic update. Keep in mind, Sennheiser sold the consumer products business to a holdings company - so now they’re just squeezing out the money it seems like.
