The biggest upgrade and the reason I didn't pick up the momentum 2s was the change to independent bud connections. The fact that the 2s had a master slave setup was a disgrace and made me not get them but the 3s corrected that and now they are ideal.
Great review. I recently upgraded my MTW2 with the MTW3. I agree that the sound quality improved and the fit was also improved. The downside is that the right earbud failed within 10-15hrs use. I also experienced that the earbuds didn’t turn off, or disconnect when put back into the case. I’ve returned them for a refund and I’m going to give the Sony vf-1000-xm4 a tryout this time around.
I currently have the tw2’s, but the left earbud has decided to die after my two years ownership. I already got my right ones replaced a while back for the same issue. However, i would mainly blame myself for this because i have a tendency to drop them alot, which is definitely a contributing factor. That being said, i loved them so much, and i will be upgrading to the tw3’s, and i’ll make sure not to drop them. Sennheiser will always be my go to earbuds.
just bought the CX plus SE for £99 (45% discount) and i like the fit, overall the shape of the CX plus SE is slimmer than the mtw2, more comfortable for everyday use.
I got mine today Sennheiser Momentum 3’s. The 3’s still need an external 12 Band EQ which was already set. For the M2’s…BUT a I had to do some tuning to the external EQ…The 3’s SOUND Truly more Open and wider than the 2’s..and a lil more Kick into the Bass Department. The 3’s are also Louder than the 2’s. I had to push back on the EQ Volume..not to blow my ear drums on some Wide Open John Williams and John Barry Scores. The Mid Range is more pronounce, and the drums have a more crisp sound to the them. I’m very impressed.
Bought some for around 210 USD equivalent. Still waiting for them. Had Jabra 75t before and loved their sound. Hope these are even better. Also read the TW3s got a firmware update. Hope for more updates in the future. I am sad however to hear about the background hiss, because that was the very reason why I gave my Jabra 75ts away to family. My tinnitus couldn’t live with that high pitched noise and would get worse over time. Loved their sound quality though and was sad to part with them.
Nice review, & i definitely agree with the comments you made based on the sound differences, I experienced the same thing, the mtw2 lacks bass but brighter sound, while the mtw3 has a great sound with more relaxed highs but has better bass response. I prefer the mtw3 any day. The lack of bass on the mtw2 is the only drawback.
Excuse me Sir, is the app setting can be carried on when I use the earbuds on PC? Like EQ setting and ANC on/off setting? I mainly use earbuds in quiet room connected to PC, and I would like to turn off the ANC for longer battery life...
I have these but i am going to have to return them. When I put these in the case they do not disconnect from my phone. I also notice that the sound in the left bud is louder than the right one which makes the music sound unbalanced. It's a shame as they sound incredible.
The momentum 3's are getting an update down the line to address multi-point connection and microphone quality. So maybe you should do a three month update or something down those lines
Yes I heard that also..there is an firmware update coming soon. But also, I heard that the Sennheiser’s 2’s Will also be able to get an update also! Here’s Hoping.
@@sickheadache9903 maybe the update would address the transparency mode allowing you to adjust it or improve the ANC to be on par with tw3 performance wise. The tw3 does not have sidetone whereas the tw2 does! I hope the tw3 gets sidetone back it may sound like a small thing to have but I like to hear myself when I have to use the microphone for calls 📞
thanks for the heads up. I'll keep an eye out for that. either way, the Momentum 3's will continue to be featured on the channel when I compare them with other earbuds in the future. these for sure are a staple.
Highly anticipated, thanks for the review. This answered some questions I had, specifically if they are well suited for the gym. I'm curious what are or would be your goto workout/gym earbuds.
Can MTW3 be used in gym everyday? Are they comfortable? Will they stay intact or fall off occasionally? I am really thinking of buying a premium pair for gym. Lemme know your thoughts.... TIA!
In my opinion, the tips that come with them are BAD. I find them uncomfortable and getting a good seal is very difficult. With the Comply tips, they are much, much more comfortable. I often forget they are in my ears if I don't have anything playing, something I sometimes do when I just want some quiet and only have them in for the now improved ANC. The superior seal they provide results in vastly superior sound, especially bass response. No contest. They should come with the Sennheisers like they do with the Sony. Finally, Comply hold them firmly in your ears. I run with them all the time with no issues. They are just fine for exercise if properly tipped. Only downside is the exorbitant pricing which is made worse because it's a recurring cost. But it's still just worth it.
I would like to hear your opinion on SoundCore Liberty 3 Pro, I switched from Momentum 2 to Liberties, and blown away by sound and features. Especially HearID.
Amazing video as always!! Whenever I see a new pair of headphones being announced I always wait for your videos ❤️ Also could you do a review on Yamaha’s earbuds please? They just released a new pair of anc earbuds and apparently their over ear headphones are pretty good too. Wonder if they’re better than Sennheiser?
Strange, but I cant enjoy the sound of MTW3, no matter how to tune the eq. The sound is very detailed, drums sounds really good, but I cant get any "meat" out of there earphones, maybe because of a bit pushed back upper mids, Im not shure. Now I gravitate to sell them, because general feeling of music is not like I like or expected. Who has tried MTW3 too, whats your opinion of its sound, in different music genres? Thank you P.S. Listen via aptX, Deezer HD and some FLAC, from smartphone. Interesting, when decrease sound quality to AAC on same smartphone, sound became much closer to what I want (but of course less detailed), but whats the sense of 250 eur gadget then
Hello! Thank you for sharing amazing contents! I would like to ask a quick question. With student discount I will buy one pair of earbuds. Could you tell me which one is better between CX Plus (89 euro) or Momentum 2 (129 euro)? For me “sound quality” is priority. Thank you so much for your answer!
Update: YES..the Sennheiser’s TWM 3 still sound Great..but now there is a charging issue. Major Charging Issue. When placed in the charging case, as soon as placed in..the case Green Light Comes..meaning it is fully charge! It is not charged! Yes Sennheiser I have cleaned the connectors, and still the charging case green light comes on instantly. Is this a Firm Ware Issue? Or is this Poorly Designed Connector Issue? I have given Sennheiser a email explaining the major issues. Hopefully soon they will hit me back..Has anyone had this issue of not Charging? Thanks
Oh Yeah..The other Issue is that..The Sennheiser TWM 3 …Never Automatically turn off. Though I have Check 15 minutes..they stay on..no matter what..I have to turn off my blue tooth in my IPad.
nah, the Moewmtum 3's sound noticeably better than the Momentum 2's. and overall, I feel the Momentum 3's offer a better package than the WF-1000XM4's.
Bullshit. Momentum TW 3 sound much worse than TW 2 and they very Uncomfortable. Bass enhance do nothing. they sound just terrible. Very disappointed. Send them back after 2 days and bought TW 2
You need an outside EQ to set to ur liking for This to work. When I got the earbuds 2’s I got an 12 band EQ and Bam..The Sennheiser’s 2’s and Sennheiser’s 3’s Headphones are EXCELLENT for my own Tastes. And also..you fail on this issue. …Sennheiser’s products need.. A several weeks or so to “Warm Up” to break in. You should have already known this about Sennheiser Products.
@@Quglarz77if my memory serves me right..it is the same 7mm driver that were in the 2’s . My 2’s did not work the way I wanted at first…I was truly big time disappointed..but the guys at Sennheiser recommended me, a wait period for the Sennheiser’s sound to warm up..and a external EQ…which I did..and Bam..My 2’s sound excellent..along with my Momentum 3’s Headphones.
Thank You so Much…I have the Sennheiser’s Momentum 2’s and truly love them. Now what I said before is that even with the new Sennheiser’s App…You still need another EQ to get what I like…A Superior Sound Range. I love soundtrack music by John Williams, John Barry, and Jerry Goldsmith. The Sennheiser’s Provided EQ ..Is not for me. So I have a 12 Band EQ that truly makes Sennheiser’s Momentum 2’s sound like John Williams And LSO Orchestra are Live and Playing For Me. John Barry’s Across The Sea of Time is a Beautiful Score and The Music sounds in my 2’s Wide Open and Truly excellent sound quality. I will get the Sennheiser’s 3’s …but my own set up is perfect for me and the music I listen to at all times. I will admit that the new App that comes with the momentum 3’s also got updated with my Momentum 2’s …so there even more presets to play around with. Also GYMCADDY…did you see..The New Wireless Momentum 4 Headphones …With a Truly All New Design will be released in August…I have the 3’s..love them, truly premium looks and feels to them..and sound amazing ..looking for your wonderful review on them headphones. Thank You!

I do too, they're not perfect, but they sound amazing and have everything you can want.

Can you compare these to the airpods 3,Samsung buds pro and the Sony 1000x4.
Im working on it right now
first time hearing hero and sidekick...
I still use master and slave.
Could you please review the B&O Beoplay EX? Great content, sir!
Hi Gymcaddy, can you recomend me this earbuds for the gym ? Can you compared them with the bose qc earbuds 2 and airpods pro 2 ?
I agree. It is fantastic. I bought on Avito.
Hi, did you happen to test those with codec aptx-adaptive, i heard there was issues ..either from the source or on the buds themselve.
Thanks:-)
Im using S22 ultra... please tell me which one shd i buy..? Buds 2 pro or Momentum 3

The itchy foam tips is misleading because the Sony's come with different tips
Best earphones reviewer 🖤🖤
Could you compare these to the Beoplay EX? €250 vs €400,- wireless earbuds
i've been waiting for sennheiser momentum 4 review.
I'm excited to cover them. but they don't release until August.
@@GYMCADDY I have seen a very small picture by Sennheiser of the 4’s side and it is totally different set up than the 3’s No wires showing this time.
