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 - Věda a technologie

Could u do a review of the Oneplus buds 3
When did they come out? Are they new or the same generational competitor to Sony XM4? They look so similar to last gen I can't really tell.
Thanks for your review & feedback, Mike. Much appreciated!
He doesn't even wear them properly, LOL.
Your MTW4 sounds amazing but your microphone is so bad..sounds like talking so far away
I appreciate how frequently you respond and the way you do. I might give these a chance just based on this. Good on you folks.
@@JMoodyFolk Sorry, this slipped through the cracks. MTW4 has new battery management system and other optimizations for longer operating life
@@MRBarton369 Here to help! Thank you🙏
Sennheiser, we need you to get rid of that annoying white noise in transparency mode and the occasional hissing noise Mike talked about in ANC!!! 💯
So true I had that ANC thing in my right earbud literally yesterday
Edit: it's fine now
Edit 2: My left earbud had a whining noise, the anc isn't as good on my left earbud now
Agreed these two are really anoying
These are NOT FOR NOISE CANCELING
Even tho they’re taxing like they are 😔🤬
No kidding. I thought it was my hearing.
@@JohnL1950 - the MTW 3 has the same problem!!!
That's why they say should dial the transparency back to about halfway.
But for Sennheiser to come out with this new model and not have fixed the issue or at least made improvements on it!! 😡😡
They even have the balls to increase the price by $50 USD and, in my opinion, are disrespectful and contemptuous to us consumers!!
And too blasé about this product and themselves!!
Great review, i have the TW 3 and it is criminal they Sennheiser is not rolling out battery protection for other models too!
Great video as usual❤! Would love to see comparison with the AZ80s!
I have a question, have you been facing issues with auto connect with your pixel phone? It seems to be a common problem for pixel phones as i look through reddit, and im wondering if you've had similar issues?
Great thorough review 💯👍 I really want these BUT after the issues with the 3s, I feel like it’d be best to wait a lil bit to make sure these don’t have the same issues. I really enjoy their earbuds too
** The sport version that’s coming out look really interesting to me as well **
We have overhauled the internals and fully expect overall performance to be smoother
Same, I had issues with the momentum 2 and 3... very disappointed. My Sony wf-1000xm5 arrives today. Let's see how it goes 🤞🏻
Great review Mike as usual! As far as suggested comparisons, I would love to hear your thoughts comparing the MTW 4's to the Technics AZ 80's and/or the B&O Beoplay EX's.
Did you release the buds are not even in his ears? Half of the function he didn't even bother to try. I bet the fit test wouldn't even pass on his wearing.
Terrible review.
Technics AZ 80, Jabra Elite 10, Denon Pearl Pro, Sony XM5 and Audio Technica ATH-TWX 9 - suggestions for your comparison video please.
Thank you. 😁
That’s a good idea especial the denon pearl pro
Devialet Gemini 2
Too big! They look ridiculous.
After your review of the previous generation, I bought them for myself.
Will it happen again now?))
The microphone does sound better, I think.
Just bought me a pair ...ASMR bout to be mind blowing
Please do a comparison video of these with Beoplay EX since they are my all time favourite.
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.
I've held onto my MTW2s for a long time because nothing seems to get close to them… except for the mic. It's absolutely mediocre on the 2s if I take conference calls. Any better on the 4s?
Nice video Mike! 🙌
Just wondering on which device did you test out the HD Snapdragon sound and Apt X Adaptive, since the S24 Ultra and Google Pixel 8 Pro don't support these codex??
Really like this case and it's not so big some people makes them out to be. At least they look nice, premium cloth material, stands up right and doesn't scratch easily (unlike the Air Pods)!! But I wish the charging port is at the back!!
This black copper colour is so sic!! Don't know why they came out with with white case?!?
The mic quality souded decent, even in heavy traffic.
Wish you could have tested the wind reduction feature.
Did you use the personalised EQ? Or just the standard EQ?
Wish you could have commented on what difference the personalised EQ made!!
I'm curious about this too. I know there are adapters for aptx but with Samsung switching exclusively to the Snapdragon chip , I don't get why they don't enable all available codecs apart from trying to keep people in the Samsung ecosystem...
@@SuperZilas- I think because their buds don't have the SD sound or AptX. It just says, "24 bit Hi Fi processing" on their web site.
Well now I'm looking for another pair since my AirPod Pro 2 right earbud just gave out. And I've got the Momentum 3s. However, now I need a backup pair and I was debating between these, Bose, or the top Sony. I'm just wondering how redundant of a purchase this might be since my 3s work just fine. However, knowing that these have been by far my best Earbuds I've ever owned; I fully understand that eventually something always happens to these things. So here I am listening to this on my Momentum 3s debating on my next purchase while working right now. Any suggestions for my next purchase to have a decent backup pair for work? 🤔
Good looking LL.Bean jacket.
How do these compare to the 3? Is it a big enough improvement that it’s worth buying if you have the 3?
Better? Yes. Night and day? Not quite, but I can definitely tell the difference when using the lossless codec. I'd just wait until your 3s break. Because they probably will.
How do they compare with the Jabra Elite 10 and Active 8 as far as ANC and secure fit?
Finally the one review I've been waiting for!! I bought the MTW2s after watching your review of them, and before that I didn't even know that they existed. I love them and still use them to this day!! Even though I have seen other reviews for the MTW4s, I had been waiting for yours to make my decision, and I think I'll get them.
Great work as always!
Bought them
Kinda regretting cause of Lack Luster ANC
Other than that
SOUND, CONNECTION & CALLS ARE A GO
@@Gemneye6 are you talking about the TW4s? I know Sennheiser's ANC isn't the best of the best, but from my experience, at least with the TW2s, the ANC was like a 7/10 (assuming the Bose and Airpods are 10/10) and if these are the same or a little bit better even, I think that's a compromise I can make given the sound quality they deliver.
Thank you for the feedback tho, it's definitely very helpful to consider :)
ANC on the MTW4 is much much better than prior editions, measurably so, thanks to use of better mics on the exterior and some new processing.
@@sennheiser alright then, good to know. Especially right from the source themselves. Say no more, order placed!
@@itsarifrizvi Thank you! More to come
I have the og true wireless. Would this be a upgrade that would be worth it no question asked?
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?
There's a wind reduction mode that is improved, and the internals have been reworked for a more reliable experience.
Student discount is only £4 or so. U stingy!! @@sennheiser
I own MTW3, the quality makes me lost my confidence with Sennheiser, the sound is good, but quality? My 1st set survived for 4 months, then the right bud stop charging and can not be turned on anymore, so I replaced it, and my 2nd set has the SAME issue, I just returned it back to Sennheiser again a few days ago, and immediately bought SONY wf 1000 xm5 instead, they are far more comfortable to wear compared to Sennheiser, the sound quality of Sennheiser is quite good though, I was planning to buy the MTW 4 but the quality issue I encountered makes me turn to SONY instead.@@sennheiser
Agree with how well these fit. Great for the gym. But I'd be willing to bet most would like the sound of the beoplay ex.
I've the first generation ones. I dropped the left bud on driveaway last week and now it looks all trashed and the touch doesn't work anymore, but they sound just a good as new.
Having written that, I think I'll upgrade to the latest gen now.
💙💙
Great review. The reality for me is that there is no way I will ever again spend more than $ 199 fore wireless earbuds. There are so many no name brands that are amazing...I cannot be convinced I need to spend more. I'd buy the Sennheiser's in 1 second at $ 199. but nope for anything by anyone above that price point going forward. It' snot worth it...
How do they compare to the Sony WF-1000XM5's? I am looking for a new pair of earbuds and I'm looking for great soundquality combined with decent noice cancelation. Sound quality has the higher priority for me
These are much better than the sony..the sony have more features..but when it comes to sound these knock them out in first round
how would you rank these against the Devialet Gemini II?
Now the question is, did they fix the problems with a sensor not working properly? Where they died way to fast to where you needed to do a exchange? The Chirp you heard was a flaw with the Momentum 3s, and it had to do with the ANC and passthrough. It was unknown if they fixed them with the revisions. But they lost a lot of money due to this problem.
I just get the sound I like from the Sennheiser. Still working on it!
I'll stay with the Denon PerL Pro
Are they autodetected in macos or windows? Like apple buds or galaxy buds do
I'm looking for after market eartips. Like you mentioned in your video instead of having the wax catch in the middle it's now on the eartip only. So I'm looking for one with the same wax catcher design on the eartip to protect the buds more long term. So far I found the Azla Max, but I'm waiting for someone to do a fit and sound quality review, or come out with a better recomendation.
Love mine❤
I put some spinfit ones on mine but they were quite difficult to install as they are made for a smaller nozzle
@@timwhite8500 Thanks I wanted to get the Omni's or W1's, but once I realised that the Sennheiser's no longer had the middlie wax catcher and now only had the eartip wax catcher I started looking that tyoe of eartip.
I would like to see these against technics AZ80, air pods pro 2 and/or sony xm5.
Fins / Wings are old design. These are on TW3 as well. Are you sure you do have or even used the TW3? Hmmm. Only design change is a bit different silicon buds, no cross design,
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.
Tozo was my go-to before I decided to go all out on music sound performance. I loved many of the features of the tozo but the sound quality doesn’t really compare that well to the Sennheiser or the Sony
Please report back in six to nine months about the battery longevity. It seems that almost ALL TWS earbuds have battery issues. I absolutely loved the Sony WF-1000XM4's. Sony replaced the first set and the second set only lasted six months like the first set. I'm really hoping that these MTW4's have a great battery life.
Great video. Thank you
You're supposed to put timelines in the description so we easily skip to sound quality section.
He's too lazy
Review the Donner Dobuds One.. they are so good on a budget!
Compare it to Denon perl pro and Technics az80 bro.
Do they sound better than the Between 3 ANC?
Does your personalised sound profile gets carried over to multiple phones if they are connected ?
Returned them to b&h today, just a few internal upgrades from TW3,
Which ones have the better sound stage
@@Gun828
Bose QuiteComfort Ultras have wider sound stage than the MTW4.
I'm found the MTW4s too dark and narrow to my liking.
Did they fix the battery issue that came with the momentum 3?
In terms of pure sound and bass, how does this compare to the OnePlus Buds Pro 2?
Hey Mike, is it worth upgrading from 3?
lol
Does anybody know if you can use both earbuds separately, meaning one without the other? In MTW2 that was not possible unfortunately
What do you recommend for someone that gets an ear infection I love the Samsung earbuds but everytime I use them I get an ear infection I do clean them everytime I take them out I was told to use the smaller tips I've done that and the same results help me out
Thanks Earnest Jones
Clean ur ears more often...
Maybe over the ear is a better choice for you? There is a sennheiser momentum 4 that's over the ear instead of the ear buds
@@goldfinga786ableyeahhh I don't really think that's how it works bud.
I’ve loved the Sennheiser earbuds and headphones I’ve had!
Thank you for making them a part of your collection!
can you do a comparison against the best sounding earbuds the bang and olufsen ex
I own the ex and tested the mtw 4 for a few minutes. For the sound I wouldn't buy the mtw4, especially after playing with the eq the ex is amazing, but as for the ANC and transparency mode, the ex is far behind.
Does it autoconnect with your pixel device? I believe they have compatibility issue with pixels
it got fixed in the most recent update
Why haven’t you carried out testing the Technics AZ80?
Because they haven't paid him.
Perhaps try the Technics AZ-80 and see if they become your new favs?
Unless they pay enough money, hardly anything becomes his new "favourite "
Compare them to the Beoplay EX and the Buds 2 Pro plz
These earbuds don't seem to be in your ears all the way in. They stick out way too much (I also have them), there is no way they create a. good seal and fit securely. Did you actually use them on those scenes or just created a "fake" video for the audience/sponsors?
Can you compare them to the OnePlus buds 2 pro/ 3? Would be interesting to see how the sound of the OnePlus buds will hold up to these with the price of the OnePlus buds
Battery issues with the MTW 2 and 3 have kept me from considering these. Ended up with the Sony pair instead
Did they fix the quality control problems TW3 had?
It's hard to say without purchasing many many pairs, but my unit here has no QC issues that I noticed
I’m not sure if it is quality control issue, but there are various flaws in these earbuds that for some reason, none of the reviewers talk about honestly. Connection issues for Bluetooth or the application, hissing noises, etc. But it seems like there are many users that have these problems so I think it is just a bad design.
@@PrxyshjOnly noise in Transparency mode @ higher level
Sound, , and Convo Clarity are VERY GOOD
ANC NOT SO GOOD
That's the important question. Sennheiser has let me down three times with their TW earbuds. The QC problems are systemic. Unfortunately I'm done with their TW earbuds as a result. I love my HD600 and HD800s headphones though. Go for their headphones but avoid their earphones I'm sad to say.
Is there any white noice or hissing noise when ANC is on ?@@Gemneye6
This vs sony xm vs apple pods vs bose.. do seperate video s each comparison. Quickly
I ordered these for myself to try and to be honest I've had the 3s and the fit wasn't great and for the past year I been using the technics az80s and they fit so well so I am kinda skeptical of the 4s but imma go into it with an open mind
Please do a comparison with Technics AZ80. The Technics AZ80 are honestly the best sounding BT ear buds I've heard. I'd like to see your comparison video
Please compare these to the Bose QC ultra buds. I have both and im deciding between them in terms of audio quality for music listening as main priority. Then comfort, then ANC quality, then hands free phone call clarity. Some of us want music quality first and phone calls second. The Bose ultra buds are the only contenders imo right now and I have compared against the highest end buds from technics, Sony, bose, and some others. Sennheiser so far seems to be King.
Did you find the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 earbuds better than the Bose QuiteComfort Ultra Earbuds?
I also have both, just received the MTW4 yesterday and tested at home how they block out fans, etc. and turning on and off MTW4 ANC barely makes any difference at all.
The QuiteComfort Ultra Earbuds ANC seems far superior.
The MTW4s are too dark and the soundstage is too narrow compared to the QC Ultras. I prefer the Ultras richer sound, deep, punchier bass and wider sounstage.
MTW4 Or WF-1000XM5 ????
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.
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?
Still have my TW2's.. barely. Dog chewed the case and I started daily driving Samsung Buds Pro 2's.. man, I forgot how good these sound. Unfortunately the battery has worn down. I think I'll be upgrading.. didnt feel much urge to upgrade when the 3's came out. These sound like a huge leap compared to my 2s
I don't like that the highest resolution codec isn't widely available on smartphones. That coupled with the issues that I had with the 3s is going to make me pass on these
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.
Mike, please compare these to the new Denon Perl Pro
Nice video
Will the left ear piece still be incapacitated? lol
How do these compare against Sony's WF-1000XM5?
I had the XM fives, I have to admit the look was very nice the sound quality is okay the ANC is pretty good build quality is pretty cheap. They move in the ears way too much for me. Not worth the money right now. I would also recommend save the money and get the b&o's ex I'm only saying that is because I tried the Sony's and the momentums and I found that the b&o's stay a ear a lot better. And the sound is incredible. I would get the new sennheisers when the price goes down to a more reasonable amount because I know I'm going to need to get aftermarket ear tips
They are still pricey but the quality and the warranty is far superior. You can get them cheaper if you look around
Would like to see these against the Bose and Sony!
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.
Pls compare to Sennheiser Momentum Sport :)!
Bose QC ii still doesn't have multipoint and I don't think it ever will.
Neither do the Ultra’s
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.
Don’t like ANC, but call quality is very good as well as sound
These are the absolute without a doubt the best sounding earbuds I've put in my ears. The noise cancelling is excellent and so is the passive noise.
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.
Thank you!
Then you clearly missed out the competitions at the same price range.
Best comparison would be with the Denon Perl Pro as they have amazing Sound.
I returned the MTW 4 and tried the Denon. I've never heard anything like them. Truly amazing.
These Vs Jabra elite 10 and galaxy buds 3 pro would be awesome
Comparison with the MT3 plss
In my experience, I would stay clear of Sennheiser. Just sent back my replacement set of MTW3. So that's 2 pairs with issues within the space of 2 years.
Denon Perl pro
Compare with this
In terms of sound ❤
lets hope they have fixed there atrocious quality control problems they had on the 3's
Excellent presentation!!New Sub 👍🏾
Compare the Sony ❤
I had the Momentums TW4's and returned them after a week of use for the Technics AZ-80's. Hands down best decision I've ever made! The Sennheisers are really disappointing, especially for the price that they're going for. It lacks serious amount of deep rich bass even with the EQ customization via the app. Otherwise their very bland and neutral sounding. The Technics are more worth it and way better overall. No comparison.
How is the transparency mode on the techniques az 80 compared to the sennheiser mtw4
Can you please compare it with SENNHEISER MOMENTUM 4 ? Thanks !
Compare these to the denon pearl pros please
Can I connect it to my PS5? I wonder
ANC needs work. Had them a few days now. Still deciding to keep or return.
Me to
What kind of noise environment are you using them in?
@@sennheiser
Why don't you offer manually adjustable noise cancellation? Some people prefer the max setting, regardless of the environment noise level.
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.
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....
But at least they sound great when playing music?
Bose ultra earbuds are the best of 2 worlds ( ANC and sound quality)
How is call quality 🤔
If good and sound is
@least close to these
I’D RETURN IN A HEARTBEAT🤔
Compare with ***Technics AZ80s***, Jabra Elite 10s, Bose QC,
Love to see these against the Technics AZ-80 😎
Not good ANC either
You missed out on the best part, which is the sound personalisation. Which also makes one wonder how you came to the conclusion that these have the best sound if you haven’t tried that!
The review simply has been ordered and paid.
Would you recommend buying them,if you use an iPhone?
Yes, lol.
@@sennheiser
❌️ Sennheiser
✅️ Sarcasm
Unfortunately, they are just too big (mean look how far they stick out on you 9:32) . The same is true for the XM5s, but they are more comfortable than these since they are smaller. The Momentum 4 over-ears are amazing and way better than the Sony's and Bose. If you are going to spend this much money, get the regular Momentum 4's
These are some nice earbuds
Unfortunately Samsung s flagship phones Galaxy S23/s24 doesnt support aptx lossless. So people can only use standart aptx which is worse than the sony s ldac codec. And yes ldac is not supported by Sennheiser Momentum tws 4. So High Res audio means nothing in my situation. Propably sony-wf1000xm5 is more sensible in this situation because of the ldac support
I love the sound quality of these earbuds BUT call quality is absolutely awful. I've already on my second pair now since I returned the first pair because I thought the mics were broken but call quality didn't improve much with the new pair. That the mics of the tw4 should be improved compared to the tw3 I highly doubt. Hopefully an update can fix this.
Try to rotate them slightly in your ear; it's possible that the front-most-facing beam forming mic is array is obscured by a portion of the ear.
the momentum 3s always stop working and have to send for repair/replacement, if this is the same case, then they wont last for quite a few years.
Are these better thab B&O ex?
Sound quality wise, B&O ex is still the best in the market but the Active Noise Cancelling is quite horrendous on the B&O EX if we're comparing to the newer Earbuds such as Sennheiser TW4 and Airpods Pro 2.
So it depends on what you prioritize, whether it's the Active Noise Cancelling or sound quality
@@NicholasYgSound is subjective though.. I, and many others prefer the Devialet gemini 2s over the Beoplay EX.
I'm sure those are awesome earbuds, but the first thing i take into consideration on any earbuds is the case size. Being pocketable is key for me and in that regard the case on this is huge. Just not for me. I had the last version of these and the case size ultimately made me send them back.
It is on big size
But I have other smaller size earbuds(cases)
I got the copper ones
More Formal
And the wireless case looks elegant
I have these, and you’re not wrong. The case size is enormous compared to AirPod Pros or XM5’s. It’s not the length or width, it’s the thickness that’s really annoying. They really stick out in the pocket.
Compare it with the Sennheiser MTW 3
