Review on Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless White: Unleash Wireless Audio Brilliance! by Micha Ambroziak ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I am not satisfied with the product, there are no positive qualities.

I chose the Sennheiser Momentum 3 after several hours of in-store comparisons with the competition: Bowers&Wilkins PX7 Bose noise cancellation Sony WH-1000XM4 DALI IO-6 Audio Technica ATH-ANC900BT. I checked fit, sound quality, noise cancellation quality, app, build quality, construction. After a month of use, I can say that I was cruelly mistaken, despite the long, careful selection. I described the reasons in shortcomings. As a result, I do not advise taking Momentum 3, since the store will not return your money for “noise, hum”.

Pros
  • 1. Ear holes are relatively roomy. Competitors have narrower and not so soft. 2. The head does not hurt from noise reduction, like a competitor from Sony, but this plus is leveled, as the head hurts from the noise / hum emitted by the headphones themselves.
Cons
  • 1. Constant noise, hum in the headphones, from which the head hurts terribly. After a week or two of use, I started to have constant noise, a hum in my headphones at the maximum noise reduction and Antiwind settings. There is no noise when "Anti-pressure" is set. This problem is widespread google "momentum 3 noise hum", especially on Reddit. It is not clear why Sennheiser does not pay attention to this. After a couple of minutes of such noise, your head will ache, irritability will increase. I bought noise-canceling headphones for the sake of silence, so as not to hear loud conversations and other loud sounds, but now I either suffer from loud neighbors, children outside the window without headphones, or from the hum from headphones. 2. App “Smart Control” It's raw, unfinished. Constantly lags, connection with the device is lost, inconvenient connection. Tritely uncomfortable and little functional, especially when compared with the excellent Headphones Connect from Sony, where there are a huge number of noise reduction and sound settings. Tritely look at app ratings from Sennheiser and from Sony and Bose. 3. Momentum 3 soft and design. Headphones uncontrollably connect to all turned on gadgets, repeating “phone one connected, phone two connected” each time. You have to listen to this every time, which is annoying when you have several devices. You can turn off the voice assistant, but then it will not be clear whether the headphones are on or not. When you turn them off, they say “Power Off. ” This would not be a problem if the headphones did not constantly unfold themselves and turn on automatically. In mute mode, you will not notice that they turned on, the headphones will be discharged, lying like this all day.
