Review on Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless headphones, black by Somchai Kittisak ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

The smart pause function is something that, for me personally, has turned out to be a pretty unpleasant feature. The price of the phone is reasonable if the only source of music you listen to is on it. On the computer, which is one source of frustration. Case number one: I was watching anything or listening to something on my computer when I decided to switch off the music that was playing on my phone. As soon as you put your headphones on, the music on your phone immediately starts playing again. I have to get on my phone and turn off the alarm once more. And in every instance. Case number two: when watching YouTube with headphones, you chose to start the game or the movie and so you paused the video. You took your headphones off during the game / viewing for whatever reason, and when you put them back on, along with the game / movie, you turned on the YouTube video that you watched earlier. During the game / viewing, you took your headphones off. The website YouTube is only one example. You may use any other website that streams audio or video, as well as applications like Spotify and others that are similar to it, as a replacement for YouTube. Because Bluetooth technology cannot simultaneously transmit high-quality stereo sound in one direction and the microphone channel to another, I was unable to use the microphone while listening to music or any other system audio signal (for example, from a game). This limitation proved to be a significant disadvantage for me, and it was one that I had not anticipated. When you utilize the microphone, the headphones switch to hands-free mode, which dramatically lowers the audio quality to a level that is suitable for communication (voice transmission), but not suitable for high-quality stereo sound reproduction. What does this entail, exactly? You are unable to listen to anything on the computer at the same time that you are using the microphone. We began a Skype call, and immediately, all of the audio on the machine were muted, regardless of whether we were listening to music, watching movies, or playing games. Connecting to the voice channel in Diskor while the game is in progress is much the same thing. I would like to bring to your attention that this is not due to a lack of headphones but rather BT technology. Because of this, it is not viable to utilize the subject in the capacity of a gaming headset. But there is a way out: you may buy a separate external microphone and switch off the one that is incorporated into the device. The sound is the primary advantage in this case. If the flaws that have been discussed do not affect you, then this will be a worthwhile investment.

Pros
  • - Sound. When I was at the salon, I played various models from the same price range that were on my playlist; without a doubt, Momentum is superior to its competitors. Very simply, the very greatest sound ever. Pure joy. Sound gets 5 out of 5 stars. - Solid design - No wires required - Noise reduction technology built in It wasn't the best, but it was good enough for me. No discomfort is felt in the head or ears during using.
Cons
  • - Smart pause (more below) - Because of limitations imposed by Bluetooth, it is not possible to use these headphones as a gaming headset (more below) - Lack of capability to play signals coming from several devices at the same time. If a message is received on the phone while listening to music on any device, the music will stop playing for about five seconds so that the alert tone can be played from the phone. The official Sennheiser Smart Control app is only available for smartphones, but it does not function properly on any of those devices. - consistently fails to maintain a connection with the device. You can check for yourself by reading the reviews. If you do not have luxuriant hair or if your hair is just very soft, you may have pain on the crown of your head after using headphones for an extended period of time.
