Anyone tried the new Sennheiser Momentum true wireless?
been using it since I got it a month ago - actually the morning it was released at changi terminal 3. was looking to buy the Jabra elite active but the sales lady said the Sennheiser just came in.
it is so expensive u expect nothing but perfection from it. after using it for a month, my personal reviews are:
pros:
- comfortable, can wear for long hours without feeling any sore or numbness
- very compact design (including the case)
- usb-c charging, very convenient these days, has quick charge
- sound is pretty good. after all, it's a Sennheiser. comparable to the momentum wireless on-ear I had a couple of years ago.
- has the gimmicks that are helpful (auto-pause when remove bud, right side play only, transparent hearing with auto-pause, magnetic secure in case)
- battery life is decent (supposedly can last 4 hrs). I don't listen continuously for more than 3 hours and it's always charging when put into the case and I will then charge the case with the buds inside when I reach home at night
cons/not so great:
- not sure if it's because my phone is still Bluetooth 4.2 (the buds are 5.0), the connection is not very consistent, especially when i'm walking around or in crowded places... but I don't get those issues at those card readers/sensors (e.g. bus exits) which some people complained of for other brands
- software is so-so. no pre-set equalizers so you have to customize it (bass/treble) yourself. basically u move your finger around a 2-dimension plane to find the 'sweet spot' your preferences for bass/treble.
