Review on Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless headphones, black by Van Chay ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I'm satisfied, it's a good purchase.

Smart pause for me personally turned out to be a very annoying feature. If you listen to music ONLY from your phone, it justifies itself. On the computer - one inconvenience. Example #1: I was listening to music on my phone, turned it off because I decided to watch/listen to something on my computer. You put on your headphones and the music on your phone turns on again. I have to get on my phone and turn it off again. And so every time. Example #2: You watched YouTube with headphones, paused it and decided to start the game/turn on the movie. During the game / viewing, you took off your headphones for whatever reason, and when you put them back on, you, along with the game / movie, turn on the YouTube video that you watched earlier. YouTube is just an example. Instead of YouTube, there can be any page with streaming audio / video, as well as applications like Spotify and others like it. A significant drawback for me, which I did not suspect, turned out to be the limitation of Bluetooth technology, which makes it impossible to use the microphone while listening to music or any other system audio signal (for example, from a game), since BT cannot simultaneously transmit high-quality stereo sound in one direction, and the microphone channel to another. When you use the microphone, the headphones go into handsfree mode, which significantly reduces the audio quality to a level acceptable for communication (voice transmission), but unacceptable for high-quality stereo sound reproduction. What does this mean? You cannot listen to anything on the computer while using the microphone. We started a Skype conversation - all system sounds disappear (music, movies, games, it doesn't matter). Connected to the voice channel in Diskor during the game - the same thing. I draw your attention, this is not a lack of headphones, but of BT technology. As a result, the use of the subject as a gaming headset is impossible. But there is a way out - buying a separate external microphone and turning off the built-in one. The main advantage here is the sound. If the described shortcomings do not bother - this is a good purchase.

Pros
  • - Sound. I listened to several models in the salon in the same price category on my playlist - Momentum beats competitors without question. Simply the best sound ever. Pure pleasure. 5 stars for sound. - Solid design - Wireless - Active noise cancellation. Not the best, but enough for me. Ears/head don't hurt when using.
Cons
  • - Smart pause (more below) - Bluetooth restrictions that make it impossible to use these headphones as a gaming headset (more below) - Inability to simultaneously play signals from different devices. Listening to music on any device and a message comes to the phone - the music is turned off for 5 seconds to play the alert sound from the phone - The official Sennheiser Smart Control app exists only for smartphones, but it does not work on them either. Loses connection with the device all the time. You can read the reviews to be sure. - If you do not have luxurious hair or you just have very soft hair, after prolonged use of headphones, the top of the head may hurt
