The luxury true wireless category is really becoming oversaturated with dozens of new models flooding into the market each quarter; the success of the Apple AirPods has created a demand for models in the $200 to $400 range and we’ve wondered for awhile when Sennheiser would release the next generation MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 Earbuds.
Having been acquired in 2021, the German manufacturer has been taking things rather cautiously with new product releases and it looks like the brand is on solid footing with its new ownership.
We have a pair incoming for review so we will let you know in May how they sound, but we suspect they will be strong competition for Bose, Sony, and Apple.
Just like its predecessors, the Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 is designed to deliver outstanding sound quality, centered around Sennheiser’s True Response transducer.
Based on dynamic 7mm drivers manufactured in Germany, it produces an immersive stereo sound with deep bass, natural mids and detailed highs. The new Sound Personalization feature provides an enhanced sound experience via a guided listening test to setup the perfect sound for each user’s individual hearing.
In addition, the Smart Control App offers a choice of presets and an equalizer feature to tailor the sound to the user’s taste.
Since the MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 was created for everyday life, especially on the go, Sennheiser has specifically improved the earbuds with Adaptive Noise Cancellation which automatically adjusts to your environment.
The system continuously observes ambient noise to suppress it in real time. Users who want to be aware of their surroundings to hear things such as train announcements, for example, can deactivate the noise cancellation at the touch of a button, or switch to transparency mode.
For the best possible synchronization between audio and visual content, the MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 also supports a wide range of audio codecs such as AAC, SBC and aptX™ Adaptive, which reduce latency to a minimum.
In addition, each earbud now features three microphones that promote crystal-clear call quality, enabling smooth and easy-to-follow video calls. The intuitive touch control of the MOMENTUM True Wireless 3, which users can tailor to their personal preferences, makes it easier to navigate the audio and access voice assistants.
Winner of a 2022 Red Dot Design Award, the new stylish and futuristic ergonomic design enables a long-lasting comfortable fit. The MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 also comes with several silicone pads in different sizes that are designed to fit all ear shapes and sizes.
Thanks to its IPX4-certified splash-resistant casing, the MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 is made for almost any adventure. Whether it’s running in the rain or a strenuous fitness session, the new Sennheiser earbuds deliver a top-class listening experience even under adverse conditions.
No matter where users of the new MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 may be, a battery life of seven hours – which can be extended to 28 hours using the case – means that users no longer have to worry about finding a power source nearby. And because the high-quality case supports wireless charging, the process itself is easy as it can be.
