Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 Premium Noise Cancelling In-Ear Headphones - Graphite

The sound of these earphones is really good and the build is quality. The app is useful for tinkering with sound. Great battery life. I got a good deal on these so I'm happy with the value for money.
Bluetooth connection is stable in crowded areas.

What I don't like:
The touch sensitive controls are very sensitive, I have turned them off because putting the earphones in while active causes music to start, skip tracks, change volume etc. Any little tap activates the touch control.
The ear tips that come with the product are useless at blocking external sound, buy foam tips instead
The ANC seems non existent, I can't tell the difference ...view more The sound of these earphones is really good and the build is quality. The app is useful for tinkering with sound. Great battery life. I got a good deal on these so I'm happy with the value for money.

They are very big and stick way out of my ears, yes I have squished the foam tips and wedged them in as far as possible.

My previous pair of earphones were Libratone, sadly no longer in business, and these were close to perfect, only gripe being their Bluetooth connection dropped out

Need to use a loud power tool or start a machine... just one tap and i'm now wearing hearing protection. I wear these about 6 hours a day at work and the noise cancelling and transparency mode do exactly what i want. The level of external sounds in transparency mode can be adjusted from "just hear whats around you" to "wearing hearing aids". I have the radio playing most the day with transparency mode on so i can still hear and talk to those around me and after a hour or so i completely forget I'm wearing them. The noise cancelling works better than class 5 hearing protection with loud machines like a wood chipper, lawn mower or water...view more Need to use a loud power tool or start a machine... just one tap and i'm now wearing hearing protection.

The noise cancelling works better than class 5 hearing protection with loud machines like a wood chipper, lawn mower or water blaster being barely audible if music is also playing. Just make sure they are sealed into your ears properly, the 6 mics ain't filed with dust "blockage in any seems to break it" and you haven't accidentally set noise cancelling to wind mode and it should work good.

When these first released there was a few minor issues with drop outs, stutter, audio sync and others but i can assure you after a couple of updates these headphones are now seamless and work perfectly, also adding multiple Bluetooth connections, longer battery life and better noise cancelling control.
The sound is clear and the bass punches, at max volume there is no distortion.
Other notes*
DO THE FIRMWARE UPDATES!
The app ran like sh*t on my older phone and had missing features
I have dropped one from about 3m onto hard floor and it was fine
Range from phone about 50m
Wind mode in Wellington yes
Most quite volume is not quite enough.
Some have said the mic sounds robot like but that they also cannot hear the machine going next to me
With noise cancelling off and transparency off there is no hissss
Wireless charging

Bought these recently ahead of a trip overseas and pleased to report that in terms of audio quality they're fantastic - superb soundstage, great hi-fi across the spectrum and excellent noise-cancelling for long-haul flying - but they're also easy to use and very comfortable hour after hour. Not cheap but great value as top-of-the-line earbuds for audiophiles. Haven't encountered any negatives yet!

The instruments separation is just amazing and the ANC is one of the top tiers.
Having said that, the tunning will be more suitable for vocal and orchestra rather than something like EDM. The instruments separation is just amazing and the ANC is one of the top tiers.

Have always enjoyed Sennheiser for their quality of sound. This upgrade is fantastic and the quality is noticeable compared to the True Wireless 2. The bass is fuller and the detail of the music, be it classical or contemporary, is clearer. Another improvement is the quality of the sound when receiving mobile calls, a huge improvement there. Ergonomically, more comfortable compared to the old design. The battery life is excellent. Have always enjoyed Sennheiser for their quality of sound.

Sounds great Sounds great

The microphone is bad, if you don't charge them for like 2 years they refuse to charge and you have to open them with a knife to charge them with a AA battery.
The noise cancelling is okay, but if you don't have very tight fitting buds on then it wont work as well, and when you use large ones it hurts.
The case is insanely huge, and it makes keeping it in a pocket very uncomfortable.

Positives are
Great sound
Good software if you use the old version
Long Battery life
And connect to multiple devices well The microphone is bad, if you don't charge them for like 2 years they refuse to charge and you have to open them with a knife to charge them with a AA battery.

In the original pair, the right earbud wouldn't turn on. This was after following the instructions very carefully, etc. Took it to customer services, who were extraordinarily helpful and immediately gave me store credit. I got the replacement - this time, NEITHER bud turned on. Again, I took it back, the PB Tech staff had a go and again, nothing worked. The customer service was again extraordinary - I got a replacement set of SONY 1000XM5, which are brilliant.
This product is terrible and extremely unreliable.
The customer service from PB Tech in Westgate was excellent, though. In the original pair, the right earbud wouldn't turn on.

I love the sound of these things, but after about 6 months I had to stop using the noise cancelation which was one of the main selling points for me. The ANC crapped out and would play whooshing sounds every few seconds or so. So I turned it off. Then, just after my warranty ran out, the left bud started playing at about half volume and then the right died completely shortly after. Not what you would expect from such an expensive "high quality" product. The guy at PBTech did tell me that I might still be able to get a new set under warranty seeing as I only bought them 14 months ago. I bought the Momentum 4s anyway. Let's see how they go.

Lots of connection issues, they fall out fairly easily unless i clean my ears and earpieces every use, and after 1 year and 2 months of being used every 3 days for an hour... They completely stopped working.

They great when they work properly but most the time they don't.
I've been plagued by issues since the day I bought them. I wish I had returned them.
