Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 ANC Bluetooth Earbuds

The sound quality is easily better than any other Bluetooth earbuds I have tried. While that's not all that matters in a set of wireless buds, if you are thinking of buying these it's because you prioritize sound quality above all else. It also has a "high end sound tuning" mode which uses a little more battery but is supposed to improve sound quality. I have gotten mixed results, it definitely makes a difference but whether that difference sounds better or worse seems to depend on the type of music you are listening to. With most of my music I prefer the sound without the "high end tuning." They do look very nice (especially in white) and have a good build quality and nice feel to them. They are large but light enough and balanced well enough that they feel secure in my ears. They also have an IPX 4 rating so they are sweat resistant and could deal with getting caught in the rain. I'm not entirely sure about the cloth covered case. It looks and feels nice, but is also difficult to clean and will get dirty if you carry them around with you. I had them less than 2 weeks before someone spilled apple juice on a side table they were sitting on, a side table with a raised edge around it, so the juice just puddled where the case was sitting inside of spilling over the edge of the table and soaked the whole bottom of the case. It was a pain in the a** to clean juice out of and get rid of the discoloration. It's also kind a chunky. The ANC is okay, not the best but as with most earbuds it's only meant for low frequency noise like road noise, engines, trains, planes, etc... Assuming you can get a good seal the passive noise isolation is pretty good on it's own, the sound quality is also very dependent on getting a good seal. It is slightly disappointing that for the price you only get 4 sets of rubber tips, the normal medium tips plus one size larger and two smaller. Unfortunately my ears are slightly asymmetrical inside, so I ended up needing to use two different size tips and one ear usually requires more than one try to get it sitting right. It would have been nice if they included the foam tips from comply that are meant for it. They have included the comply tips with other sets of earbuds they sell, thankfully even though they didn't include them, comply does make tips specifically for these so they fit in the case. I ended up buying them and prefer them to the rubber tips, I think sound quality improved as well (but people seem to get mixed results with that, some saying the foam tips make it sound muffled.) I do have another set of comply foam tips that work better for noise isolation than the ones that are made for these because they are longer, but the downside is you can't close the case with them on. Battery life is not great, it's not bad either and I think it's more than enough for most applications, and the case holds two full charges plus a little extra. They seem to have 7 hours give or take depending on volume and what you're listening to without ANC and 4-5 hours with ANC, which is adequate for most uses other than long jouneys by car, train, or plane, so unless you regularly take long trips and want to be able to use them continuously or are like me and sleep with earbuds in (thin walls and a person in the next room who snores like a freight train and yells in their sleep on an almost nightly basis, plus I have ptsd and sleeping with music or some kind of constant background noise helps distract my mind and prevents/reduces nightmares) and don't like being woken up by a low battery warning, or having the battery die and having to switch to a different set of earbuds/headphones, then the battery life should be more than enough. I usually use my tribit C1's when I sleep, they don't sound anywhere near as good or have ANC and their passive noise isolation isn't as good either but they do have a 12 hour continuous battery life. These have roughly 24 hours of play time including the case (with ANC off) and I cannot think of many circumstances where you would need 24 hours of playtime without being able to get to a charger, save for maybe camping. The app isn't the best, it's a little clunky and the EQ is awful. I do like that you can use the app to switch between paired devices (as long as you connect to your phone first and use the app to switch to the other device) and customize the touch controls. The stock set-up isn't intuitive at all, but it's almost fully customizable, except for volume up/down. You can also turn touch tone on/off and choose between voice or tone notifications, turn ANC, transparent hearing (which works really well, better than any other I have tried,) and high end sound tuning on/off, plus you can turn the earbuds off from the app without putting them in the case (which you can only do from the app, no touch control for on/off.) You also need the app for firmware updates. I like that the firmware can be updated as they fix bugs and stability issues or add features or adjust the tuning. The updates do take a long time though, the last one took 42 minutes, without using them, you can continue to use them while they update, but it takes much longer. The EQ is garbage. No presets and only 3 channels adjusted with either classic sliders or a weird wave form with a dot you can drag around. Why include an EQ if it's going to be awful or useless. It would have been easy to include a more functional effective EQ, sennheiser when asked about it claim it's because you shouldn't need an EQ if the headphones have a neutral tuning that's how the music is supposed to sound... but then why include one at all if they are opposed to them? It just doesn't make a lot of sense. They also have a touch control for whatever the default voice assistant is on the device you are using, which you can assign to any number of taps on either side. These have 6 assignable features/controls and 6 spots, so it's not a matter of choosing which features you want so much as where you want them or you can turn off touch controls completely. They also automatically play/pause when you take one side in or out of your ear, which is a feature you can turn off if you choose. The most recent update appears to have added a feature that automatically answers an incoming call if you take them out of the case and put them in your ears while the call is coming in, as opposed to putting them in and then having to tap to answer, although I haven't tried it yet. People seem to get mixed results with call quality. They work fine for me, no real background hum or white noise, and the mic seems to work alright. It's definitely not the best for call quality, but it works well enough. I usually use my galaxy bud live's for calls unless I happen to get a call while using these or don't have my buds with me. If battery life and really good ANC are really important to you but you still want great sound quality the Sony WF-100XM4's are a great alternative, as long as you don't mind spending a lot more. Even in this price range, an additional $60 is a lot, but the Sony's have a 12 hour battery life to Sennheiser's 7 hours, and better noise canceling. The Sennheiser's I think sound a little better, and in testing have a more accurate neutral sound, but the Sony's aren't far behind and in reality the difference is going to be fairly negligible to most people. Plus the sound quality will vary from set to set and person to person anyway, some sets sound slightly better or worse than others with both models and it's going to depend a lot on which one fits your ear better. The Sony's do come with more choices for tips I believe. The Sony app also has more features, although the Sennheiser's have better touch controls. So if battery life, ANC, and a smoother app with more features are as important as sound quality and you don't mind paying the extra $60 then the Sony's are the best choice, but if it's not worth the extra money and sound quality is your absolute priority then these are the best choice, plus these look and feel nicer and the battery life and ANC are more than adequate.
