Review on Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless headphones, black by Minoru Chikamatsu ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best thing for the money, Im glad I chose this option.

I like the sound. The basses are too smooth, unsharp and booming, although formally "low" and deep. If they are significantly screwed on, then they will remain heard without enumeration, and there will be pleasure - from a clean middle and highs. I think that this is a reasonable maximum quality for Music on bluetooth headphones. If you have a source - a CD collection or some FLAC - then maybe you don't need wireless at all. If it's a classic with a lot of instruments - then it's not the same, there is no desired clarity, although not directly porridge. And something like the Beatles - it suddenly becomes interesting to listen to. One where there is a moderate amount of instrumentation, and that is not "rough" rock (try listening to Marshall overheads for rock). And for such moderate bass compositions with a moderate number of tracks, I liked the headphones. Moreover, they opened up new things for me that suddenly became interesting to listen to. The picture is not something that is "legible-illegible", but suddenly it becomes with interest disassembled into separate elements, each of which is pleasant to evaluate. Actually, this is their main plus for me - intelligibility and interesting sound (with a moderate number of instruments). Regarding the noise reduction - when you listen to music - it is sufficient. To hear nothing but music. And in order to listen to music, and not the rumble of the street, for example. There is no metro in Hong Kong, so I won’t say anything about the metro. In direct competitors - Sony wh-1000xm4 - somehow the music seemed to me flat, not catchy, they did not give me a sense of novelty of the performed compositions. Roughly speaking, it crawled over the ears, but did not get inside. (I would be glad if Sony came to me, but they didn’t). As a device, Sony is better: they sit much more comfortably (senshi are heavy, they rest on the head with one upper point of the bow and not with the entire upper part, they fall a little while lying down, stick out to the sides), Sony has a significantly longer charge, more convenient control, a little better noise reduction. But it was the sound that attracted me from Sennheiser, but did not cause any emotions from Sonya (I tried several approaches).

Pros
  • Sound (if you screw the bass), appearance. The presence of a headset function. Good noise reduction. In general, a convenient use case.
Cons
  • Uncomfortable headband, slow app, three(!)band equalizer in the native app, unsharp, as it were, smoothed out bass, excessive in the default settings.
