Sennheiser Consumer Audio Momentum True Wireless 2 – Bluetooth Earbuds with Active Noise Cancellation, Smart Pause, Customizable Touch Control and 28-Hour Battery Life – White (M3IETW2 White)

Great sound, great features. 5 because 4.5 isn’t possible, and 4 is too low.
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 smartThat 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.

Son costosos, sí. Soy un usuario que vivr en México, anda en transporte público, va al gym, disfruta de escuchar música en casa y estos audifónos ha sido de los mejores sacrificios.Sennheiser lo hace de nuevo, son cómodos, no se te van a caer en el gimnasio (todavía no los uso para correr), cuando tomo el camión, el ruido del motor, tráfico quedan opacados con la función de cancelación de ruido y al desactivarlo puedes escuchar casi como si no los tuvieras puestos.Seas amante de escuchar música en la más alta calidad o no, estos audifonos pueden con lo que sea,el ecualizador está bien optimizado para aquellos que gustan personalizarlo, excelente immersión de sonido.La batería es una locura, claro, depende de cuantas horas lo uses diario, pero en mi rutina la batería me dura de 6 a 7 días (la carga del estuche no baja, incluso si no los usas por meses, tiene 28 horas aseguradas), extremo.El estuche, parece grande frente a los airpods pero la verdad es que es compacto, muy ligero y me encantó el diseño.Lo único negativo (forzado) para mí es la respuesta de los comandos, no sé si es más rápido segun el celular/app que tengas, yo tengo un A51/SpotifyPremium, después de pulsar el panel touch, demora 2-3 segundos en responder en lugar de ser instantaneo, no me parece molesto, incluso encuentro agradable la experiencia al escuchar el beep pero sería cool que fuera instantaneo. Otra cosa sería los mics, yo diría que la calidad es media-plus, ya que en algunas llamadas me escuchan “ahogado” o yo los escucho a veces tenue, creo que esto depende de tu cavidad en la oreja, el silencio alrededor y la presión/vació de los chícharos, en llamado en pleno camión y la calidad fue buena.¿Vale la pena comprarlos? Sí¿Yo los volvería a comprar? No, 2 razones:1. Sennheiser ya anunció su retiro de oferta para el mercado a todo público para este año (2022), solo se dedicará al segmento profesional, estos Momentum TW2 son los últimos, así como otros modelos, serán descontinuados, únicos, casi de colección.2. Comprarte unos Sennheiser Momemtum o CX es para toda la vida, tengo unos CX5 y Momemtum primera generación de 3 años de uso y funcionan como el primer día, suelo cuidar mis cosas, modelos que ya no encuentras por ninguna parte pero creo que seguirán funcionando más años.Compra repuestos de los chícharos porque suelen gastarse en 6-12 meses y colocar otros de calidad diferente, sea mismo tamaño, varía un poco la experiencia auditiva (el diablo está en los detalles)*Tkm Sennheiser, te voy a extrañar, siempre serás mi marca favorita de audio.

These are “By far” the best wireless earphones I have ever purchased and I bought many in the past. The last ones I had purchased were the Samsung Galaxy Buds Live – Black, SM-R180NZKAXAC. Terrible fitting in the ear and for that reason the bass cannot be heard properly. I had to push on the earphones to hear the bass. Plus they kept coming out of my ears. So frustrating because I liked the style and the fact that I could sleep with them due to their small size. So I was hesitant to get the very expensive “Sennheiser Momentum True wireless” as they seemed quite bigger. I took a chance and WOW!!!! I was disappointed at first again because of the bass which I could not really hear unless I pushed on the earhones with my fingers which is not very practical. I was going to return them. Then I thought about trying the other small adaptors and…….Voila. That was the problem. I had already changed the adaptor to what I thought were the right ones for my ears but they were not. Once I got the right adaptors, it was night and day not only for these Sennheiser earphones buy there is no comparison with the Samsung I already have. These Sennheiser not only have a fantastic sound, bass and quality but they stay in my ear. I can even eat/chew and they stay exactly as I have them in my ears unlike all my other earphones except my Bose noise-cancelling headphones as they cover my ears completely. As for the noise-cancelling for these Sennheiser earphones, I must say that it doesn’t compare with the over the ears Bose noise-cancelling headsets but I must say that I am surprised how well they perform for a small earpiece such as these. I even sleep with them using a pillow with a hole in the middle to fit my ear/earphone and they stay in place unlike the Samsung ones allowing me to listen to my meditation music very comfortably. Bravo Sennheiser. I listened to a couple of guys on YouTube regarding these earphones and they rated them very high. They were right. First time I have wireless earphones that fit so perfectly in my ears and provide such high-quality sound. I recommend them to anyone who like me is very demanding when it comes to listening to music.
