Review on Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless headphones, black by Ivan Atanasov ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not at all what I expected.

After spending several hours in the store comparing the other brands to the Sennheiser Momentum 3, I decided to go with that one. Bose noise canceling using Bowers & Wilkins PX7 technology Audio Technica ATH-ANC900BT, Sony WH-1000XM4, and DALI IO-6 are the devices in question. I examined the construction, app, fit, sound quality, and quality of noise cancellation, as well as the build quality. Despite the lengthy and thoughtful selecting process, I can now state that I made a terrible mistake after using the product for a whole month. I went into detail about the causes in the deficiencies. Because of this, I do not recommend purchasing Momentum 3, given that the shop would not give your money back for the "noise, hum" issue.

Pros
  • 1. There is a fair amount of space in the ear canal. The competition offers products that are more slender and less plush. 2. Unlike with a competitor from Sony, the headphones do not cause discomfort in the head as a result of noise suppression; nevertheless, this benefit is offset by the fact that the headphones themselves produce a noise or hum that causes discomfort in the head.
Cons
  • 1. A droning sound or hum emanating from the headphones, which causes excruciating pain in the head. After using the headphones for a week or two, I noticed that there was a continual noise, almost like a hum, even when I had the noise reduction and antiwind settings turned all the way up. When "Anti-pressure" is activated, there is no audible noise. This issue affects a significant number of people (google "momentum 3 noise hum"), most notably on Reddit. There does not appear to be a logical explanation for why Sennheiser does not pay attention to this. After being exposed to such noise for a few minutes, you may begin to experience headache pain and an increase in irritation. I purchased noise-canceling headphones for the sake of silence, so that I would not hear loud discussions and other loud sounds. However, now I either suffer from loud neighbors, youngsters outside the window who do not have headphones, or the hum from the headphones themselves. 2. Application called "Smart Control" It is unedited and unpolished. Continually suffers from lagging, frequently loses connection with the device, and has an awkward connection. Simple, unpleasant, and lacking in functionality, especially when compared to Sony's superior Headphones Connect, which offers a vast array of options for both sound and noise suppression and is equipped with a small number of sound adjustment controls. Examine the app ratings provided by Sennheiser as well as those provided by Sony and Bose. 3. Momentum 3 soft and design. The headphones will automatically connect to any device that is turned on, with the message "phone one connected, phone two connected" being played over and over again. This is something that must be listened to each and every time, which can get very bothersome when you have multiple devices. You have the option to turn off the voice assistant; but, if you do so, it will not be obvious whether or not the headphones are in use. They display the phrase "Power Off" when they are turned off. If the headphones did not automatically unfold themselves and switch themselves on at regular intervals, this would not be a cause for concern. If you put the headphones on silent mode, you won't even realize that they are on, and the battery in the headphones will run out if you leave them laying around all day.
