Apple has MORE competition! - Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 Earbuds

The video opens with a near identical packaging comparison between the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 and the Momentum True Wireless 2, immediately signaling that the update is more about refinement than a radical redesign. The host details the unboxing experience, highlighting the compact new charging case, the fabric-like case exterior, and the three tip sizes included, noting that the tips are silicone rather than foam. There is a light, humorous tone as the host tests various fit options with wing tips and a concha-friendly design, while also pointing out the redesigned case port and the changes in earbud aesthetics. Early on, the pair is connected to a phone via Bluetooth through the app, and the host remarks on the lack of a dedicated pairing button in favor of a touch-and-hold method to initiate pairing, which they find intuitive once the process completes. The firmware update process is briefly teased as a setup hurdle, used as a setup moment to segue into sponsor content and the introduction of Joby creator-focused audio gear. As the video progresses, attention shifts to the app, where the host explores the equalizer settings, noting a flat default sound profile and the array of presets including rock, pop, dance, hip hop, classical, and a customizable option. They experiment with base boost and a podcast mode, and while evaluating, the host discovers a surprising on-screen prompt that briefly interrupts playback, acknowledging some quirky app behavior. The commentary then pivots to user interaction with the device, describing touch controls such as tapping patterns for transparency mode and ambient features, triple taps for voice assistant access, and the responsive haptics that confirm each action. The host tests noise cancellation, wind mode, and the wind-related testing in a call scenario, reflecting on whether ANC is effectively decoupled from user-perceived volume, and compares overall brightness and clarity of the sound. Finally, the video discusses value, noting the Momentum TW3’s price position relative to AirPods Pro during a period of market inflation and chip shortages, and concludes with a measured verdict on sound quality, functionality, and the product’s positioning in a price bracket that now competes more directly with Apple’s earbuds, emphasizing the customizable EQ and app-driven features as key differentiators.
