Hey everyone! I forgot to add up the total battery life including the extra 3 charges from the case. So here they are and this was also tested with ‘High End Sound Tuning’ on which is supposed to consume more battery as well. ANC ON = 18h 48m ANC OFF = 23h 48m
what about noise cancelling for microphone to talk not to listen? seems this is for noise cancelling for listening...do these block background noise for talking/microphone???
Bro im comuting 2 hours a day so its part of my life. I bought these its exactly as what you said, wide as fuck. Its close to my kz zs10 pros but kz has terrible passive isolation anyway. I have a big problem. My huge old commute services (passing close to my house) engine humming is mostly taffing around 100hz and this thing has nothing below 100hz on its ANC. its creating a contrast between above 100 and below, it sounds like its amplifing that lower bass from engine and its driving me crazy. but i see from soundguys anc test that that buds pro has a solid blockage right there, may be sacrificing some soundstage and mid blackage is way to go for me ? or may be around 700mt far i have another commute vehicle which is a modern fiat ducato may be i need to walk and cinvince myself for burning calories getting healtier etc . i dont know what to do. i have xm4s too but theyre fucking my hair shape and its summer coming. btw im using xm4s with more v shaped version of this: github.com/jaakkopasanen/AutoEq/blob/master/results/oratory1990/harman_over-ear_2018/Sony%20WH-1000XM4/Sony%20WH-1000XM4%20GraphicEQ.txt on my laptop in eq APO i add this after, i add a 15 band eq and add a little deep and mid bass and little bit treble . after this i have a eq shape below. i replicate that eq shape with moving mouse cursor on it with values on iphone. im doing it with SPOTEQ and its becoming far far wider . its that bleeding from upper bass to mids narrowing xm4 this mothed makes it a sennheiser. just want to share.
The "High-End Sound Tuning" feature definitely helped them! With this latest update they moved up on my list and have made me put them back into my regular listening rotation. Glad you were finally able to pick up a set bro!
These seem really great. I can’t wait to get mine. The noise cancelling seems like it will be perfect for me. I have autism and I often get overwhelmed while in public from vast amounts of noises and I don’t want a crazy amount of ANC. I love Sennheiser and I use my HD660S’ daily and my HD700’s when I need a change up.
I got these for 220 USD and they were a steal at that price. For sound quality ofcourse. I usually use high end headphones or iems with a dac for my music but on the go these do a great job.
Interested in these or Bose quest comfort. I got the Sony wf1000xm4 that everyone raves about but after several months of use they are just not confortable in my ears. In order for them to work you need to really really twist it inside your ear canal so deep it hurts. Maybe it is my ear. Looking for more comfortable fitting ones, perhaps the ones that don’t need to go into my ear canal. All I care about is sound quality and comfort. Don’t care about ANC or call quality etc. just quality full sound and comfort for my ears. Is Sennheiser my best bet or these also need to be twisted deep into your ears to get full sound ?
@@BennyChristian I had iems with 10 driver Noble Audio Kaiser Encore and 14 driver Zeus XIV by Empire Ears and everything in between. I can tell you this is the best sounding bluetooth earbuds in the price range, buy it you won't regret, cheers
Nice. Exactly what I wanted to hear ... that they sound great with synths. I've been torn between the MW2 and the Sony's, but I think you just sold me on the Senn's. Thanks!
I just ordered these and realized i didnt even look into any reviews, just blindly putting my trust into senhiezer, then started freaking out a little about if i made a mistake. Thanks for the reassurance, can't wait for them to be delivered.
@@pickyaudio I received mine in the mail today and I had a lot of problems, random disconnects, taking an average of 2 minutes 40 seconds to connect my phone, the pause button didn't work, and my left ear bud kept lowering its volume on its own, making the audio level uneven. Right when I was about to put them back in the box and return them I figured I'd try factory reseting them and not installing all the updates, and after I did so literally every single problem vanished. Now it connects in seconds, never disconnects randomly, the pause button works, and I'm not having the audio problem with the left ear bud. Now I'm super glad I got them, Thanks!
Very nice and detail review, shout out from SA! I just ordered their younger brother Sennheiser CX 400BT on JB-Hifi for half price as well and can’t wait to try it.
Thanks for this review. I wish I found this sooner. I've been researching earbuds for days and with so many bells and whistles offered it's overwhelming, I've purchased and returned 4 sets of earbuds so far. The only thing I'm looking for is good sound and a comfortable fit that won't fall out. You summed this up perfectly at the end of your review. I will be ordering these today. 'Wish me luck. Thanks!!!
How ya like em’ a year later? Have had mine since release and haven’t upgraded my earbuds since. SM2 sound quality and fit are perfect for me. Purchased a few over the ears wireless these past couple years though.
Great video. I really like these buds and got them reduced as well. The sound’s great, leaps ahead of previous in ears I’ve had and I also don’t notice the usual thud that I get from walking with in-ears. Comfy too!
Great review I enjoyed you showing your equaliser stats. They have changed the app again (the travesty) and it’s horrible but the earphones are still great
I noticed that too. 😢 a few more horizontal eq lines and they added more features in settings. Maybe it’s the placebo effect, but I think they sound a bit more crisp now. My current settings are 4db bass, -1db mid and 2db treble . Also, i just turned auto updates off the the app. 😅
@@pickyaudio I've gotten used to it now, but it's like heaven when nothing is playing and the buds go to sleep. Hiss disappears. Still prefer my SoundPEATS H1 for Symphonic and Heavy Metal, but the Momentum TW2 can't be beat for Dire Straits.
Nice review. Watching it on my Momentum 2's and I agree w/ just about everything you say here. For my personal sound preferences, they currently are the best out there overall. If you threw in a wireless charging case, it would be nice :) So for my go-to's right now I'm doing Senn's @ #1 now, Buds+ (yup, still love these for zoom/conference/etc, no ANC but battery life is insane) and then my Airpods Pro is coming in 3rd. Other than that I use AudioTechnica wired if I really want to hear everything...but yes.... Sennheisers are now my #1 even in 2021. Plus you can get them cheaper now on Amazon!
Great review! I’ve just snagged an open box set after seeing this review. I normally listen to high end quality headphones with a DAC and MQA music but these look great for on the move and travelling. Thanks for the in-depth review especially comparisons to the previous model and key competitors. Good job!
Generally reviewers seem to say the ANC isn't great and it costs too much. So since I got them cheap and always have ANC turned OFF , it's all good :) getting these in 2022
Mid-Fall 2021: Definitely worth it if you already have it or on sale for about (less) USD200, that is if you appreciate sound quality and especially there sound signature. Or wait for MTW3 version and/or look at their CX True Wireless.
hey man, can you tell me how loud are they? I have jaybird x3 now and they are quite loud, also are you using silicon eartips or bought memory foam for better sounding
I’m using the included silicone ear tips. I don’t have the X3 so can’t say for sure. I can say that 100% volume on default Spotify setting they sound amazing and are loud enough for me. There are louder buds out there but if you like listening at max volume these sound the best out of any earbud I’ve ever tested
@@pickyaudio thankfully I am using an adapter..)) and the sound quality is like food platter presented to you, exactly like how it's on the menu..extravaganza!
I own the wfxm3000 from Sony and I really like them they pack lots of futures , still want to get the sunnys but kind of hesitant, if they have less than Sonys then I will wait for better improvements,
I have the XM3 going back for warranty. I really love Sony as a brand. I only buy their Televisions. I have the V Moda M100, Masters and wireless over the ear and just love that sound profile. I have a the Sennheiser necklace style Momentun HD which I use with my laptop and I'm always knocked back by the sound quality even for 3 year old Bluetooth headphones. I just tried the Galaxy Buds 2, the Lives and Buds Plus. None really compare to the XM3. But I like the Lives in that they sit on the outside of your ear. so I will probably keep those as my back up. Now I have to decide for my birthday 🎂 whether to get the Momentum 2 or the XM4. Tough choice.
I REALLY liked your review man....BUT, let's talk about your music categories. Where's your early house music, garage, electro/techno bass, acid house, disco, funk, soul, boogie, rare groove, dub/reggae, world music, afro-cuban/latin, synth/new wave, industrial, EBM, minimal, ambient ? Not here to criticize, only here to nudge....; ). That said, the direction you went with your categorical references is unique to any other review I've seen, so I think amongst serious music heads.....you could broaden that gap with an additional focus on more demographics. I like that angle and could warrant even separate vids/titles "best earbuds for {insert genre}.....". Keep it up....great job. Wish you well...cheers.
I think the latency is still pretty bad. Best sound on the market, but I struhgle to watch movies. Lip sync is off. Are you sure these have aptx? No problem with AirPod Pros. What am I missing? FM 4.14.
Just unboxed these right now. Hooked them up and honestly, not too surprised from returning my Bose Sports for these. I’m hoping it’s because I cannot use the app, I have an iPhone 6 and cannot download iOS of 13.0 or later.
These are straight up disappointing. I’m losing Bluetooth connection constantly, there’s terrible latency with TH-cam or Apple movie app, and they are cutting out quite often. I hate to say I’m just really disappointed after paying nearly $300 for these.
One question, you would pick the Momentum 2 over the "new" CX True Wireless? Cause I am thinking about buying one of them and because there is such a price difference I don't really know if the Momentum 2 are worth the extra money. Just talking about sound and fit here really, because I don't think I'll be needing ANC.
You would need to double check but I don’t think the CX have the high end sound tuning feature. That does improve the sound quite a bit so might be worth going for the mom 2
Brother amazing review. I was wondering if the Sony XM3s sound better with LDAC or LDAC manually set to 990Kbps since it is such a huge bitrate codec. You have to set your phone into developer mode to enable this. I am stuck trying to decide between these two
@@brothatwasepic hey guys in case it helps only the XM4 TW have LDAC in a true wireless earbud but these Senn Momentum TW2 still have better imaging and bass attenduation and treble clarity.
Have you tried the grado 220s ? I want the clear sound but with high volume . I heard somewhere that the Grados are slightly louder like you were saying about the H1s but retain the premium sound
Hello mate! Great vid. Can you give me advice please? I have AirPods Pro but I want to step up in terms of sound quality. Should I replace airpods for momentum 2? Is there dramatic difference between those 2 buds?
Hey! 100%. It’s not going to be insanely better but you’re getting more bass, and the treble is much nicer especially with the high end tuning on. Abs you can of course customise the sound to your liking with the EQ which you don’t get on the AirPods Pro. So yea definitely go for it I’d say 😊
Hi, always like the way you review things, buying tevi after watching yours, big thanks, one question, Any white noise while not playing music on senny??
Your review is amazing! I just wish you could add a part where, which phone they work better with (iPhone or any other android phone) But you’re amazing! Thank you for this review!
This review is brilliant, just what I was looking for; straight to the point honesty and well covered. Thank you. The only problem I'm having with my new Sennheiser TW2 is the muffled voice transmitted from them, during phone calls. Any clues about what I'm doing wrong? I have the latest Firmware installed.
Are the 2nd gen more comfortable than the 1st gen? I had the 1st gen for a week and then returned them because my ears were in agony from the horrible fit.
@@pickyaudio Thanks bro. I’m really tempted to buy them because they sounded so good but I’m worried that they will hurt my ears again. It was just the back part of the unit where it pressed on the outside of the ear. If these are smaller then they might not press so hard.
First let me say that I love the way you organize your videos. They are very interesting and informative. My question is…. Why don’t you review the high end buds like B&W Pi7, B&O EQ, or M&D MW08? I’m leaning towards trying the Sennheisers but would love your opinion! Thanks, Pete
Great video! I just lost my Momentums. Very sad. But... I wanted your opinion on the Sennheiser CX 400BT's? Do you own a pair or have you tried them? Thanks!
can i use them independently for phone calls? for example can i use the left one until the battery runs out and switch to the right one while the left is charging? again just for phone calls thanks.
Did you tested them compared with the bose qc earbuds and airpods pro? Which one is the loudest? I have the airpods pro, i want to change them to the bose or sennh mom 2, but I want them to be at least at the level of loudness of the airpods pros. Thank you!
I have seen other of yours that state they have used either the right or the left earbud individually, I've even seen demo videos. Also I believe they do have quick charge? just wondering if you have any updated experience with only the left but working as an option or not
Thanks nice and informative. I own one of this recently. BUT the max volume of this buds are not adequate for my occasional enjoyment.. when I compare with AirPod Pro. Is there any thing I need to do in-settings ? Appreciate a reply .
Dude you finally got some! I was interested hearing your opinion vs the H1, I do wish there was lower bass the M2's. The high end tuning seems to make the soundstage narrower, I've gone back and forth between the 2 and I feel this setting off sounds a bit more natural. Id recommend you buying some KZ Zs10 IEM's, there not bluetooth although you can get a bluetooth band for them. If you think the treble is good on the sennies, the KZ's are amazing! Also the momentum 3 overheads are pretty tasty bass head certified 100 percent djent approved too. My fave headphone is Hifiman Sundara, they have changed my understanding of what imaging, speed, punch and soundstage mean.
It seems like these are the peak for sound quality on wireless earbuds, at least for now. But let me ask this: what exactly is the "peak" of sound quality on a wireless earbud compared with a wired one? Let's just take an example: ONE MORE Quad Driver IEM's, which you can get for about $100. Those sound really good. Can the Senn's compete with those on SQ? With an IOS based bluetooth connection, you'll be connected via AAC, which is certainly not lossless. But a wired setup will give you exactly what is on the audio output of your device. So for someone who values audio quality like myself, will any wireless earbud satisfy me?
Yea when it comes to wired IEM’s you can spend like 50-60 and if they’re a decent pair (like my kzs10 pro for example). They’ll outperform and TWS earbud since the only focus is the drivers where TWS requires so much extra tech
@@pickyaudio Thanks. I don't really need all that tech, but can see that Apple has piled so much into theirs that everyone else has to follow suit with features. I just wish someone would make a low featured wireless set with superb sound quality equal to a wired pair. That's something I'd be interested in.
It’s getting pretty close but the main issue being you can only fit so many drivers into the bud. There are those Bluetooth adapters you can plug into your IEM’s. Still new tech but it’s getting better
Hey everyone! I forgot to add up the total battery life including the extra 3 charges from the case. So here they are and this was also tested with ‘High End Sound Tuning’ on which is supposed to consume more battery as well.
ANC ON = 18h 48m

How is the aingle charge on earbuds? How many hours last long?
This review was legitimized when he asked "Does it Djent?"
what about noise cancelling for microphone to talk not to listen? seems this is for noise cancelling for listening...do these block background noise for talking/microphone???

Best of the best? Where are Technics? Technics are Panasonic high end product and over half clame that better than Sony high end buds.

How can I get this feature? I've already updated an app, but high end sound tuning hasn't appeared in the app...

Would you say they are worth updating from AirPods 2 or should I wait till the xm4s? I have an iPhone in case that changes anything
Thank you
Wait for the xm4’s I reckon
Are these better than edifier w240tn?
Just ordered the momentum 2’s and I
Can’t wait!
Nice! Exciting 😊
Just unboxed these right now. Hooked them up and honestly, not too surprised from returning my Bose Sports for these.
I’m hoping it’s because I cannot use the app, I have an iPhone 6 and cannot download iOS of 13.0 or later.
These are straight up disappointing. I’m losing Bluetooth connection constantly, there’s terrible latency with TH-cam or Apple movie app, and they are cutting out quite often.
I hate to say I’m just really disappointed after paying nearly $300 for these.
One question, you would pick the Momentum 2 over the "new" CX True Wireless? Cause I am thinking about buying one of them and because there is such a price difference I don't really know if the Momentum 2 are worth the extra money. Just talking about sound and fit here really, because I don't think I'll be needing ANC.
Cx plus just came up, u can have a look at it as well
You would need to double check but I don’t think the CX have the high end sound tuning feature. That does improve the sound quite a bit so might be worth going for the mom 2
Brother amazing review. I was wondering if the Sony XM3s sound better with LDAC or LDAC manually set to 990Kbps since it is such a huge bitrate codec. You have to set your phone into developer mode to enable this. I am stuck trying to decide between these two
XM3 Headphones?
@@pickyaudio thanks I mean the sony true wireless wf1000xm3s and/or upcoming xm4s set to LDAC and 990Kbps
@@brothatwasepic hey guys in case it helps only the XM4 TW have LDAC in a true wireless earbud but these Senn Momentum TW2 still have better imaging and bass attenduation and treble clarity.
Have you tried the grado 220s ? I want the clear sound but with high volume . I heard somewhere that the Grados are slightly louder like you were saying about the H1s but retain the premium sound
Yet to test! Thanks for letting me know though 😊
I just lost my Ear Buds, what should i do? buying new one or wait for hopefully new Sennheiser version.
So I'm considering between these and the WF-1000XM4 how would you say the Sennheiser compare?
The xm4 have more features and are a lot newer. But I don’t actually have them yet so I can’t say for sure
Do they have good bass ??
Which is better these or Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EQ
I know someone who has both and he said the Beoplay EQ made the MTW2 sound like rubbish.
Hello mate! Great vid. Can you give me advice please? I have AirPods Pro but I want to step up in terms of sound quality. Should I replace airpods for momentum 2? Is there dramatic difference between those 2 buds?
Hey! 100%. It’s not going to be insanely better but you’re getting more bass, and the treble is much nicer especially with the high end tuning on. Abs you can of course customise the sound to your liking with the EQ which you don’t get on the AirPods Pro. So yea definitely go for it I’d say 😊
@@pickyaudio thanks for your opinion. Appreciate it
@@pickyaudio little update if you wondering haha. I just got my momentums and they are SO GREAT. Thanks again for the video and advice!
No worries! Glad you like them 😊
@@Dilman33 have you encountered any issues so far? And is the latency that noticeable when watching movies?
Hi, always like the way you review things, buying tevi after watching yours, big thanks, one question, Any white noise while not playing music on senny??
Thanks! A slight amount, definitely not as much as the Tevi
Your review is amazing! I just wish you could add a part where, which phone they work better with (iPhone or any other android phone) But you’re amazing! Thank you for this review!
Thanks! I’ve got a galaxy S10E now i can test that out
This review is brilliant, just what I was looking for; straight to the point honesty and well covered. Thank you. The only problem I'm having with my new Sennheiser TW2 is the muffled voice transmitted from them, during phone calls. Any clues about what I'm doing wrong? I have the latest Firmware installed.
Are the 2nd gen more comfortable than the 1st gen? I had the 1st gen for a week and then returned them because my ears were in agony from the horrible fit.
They’re a bit smaller but have the same type of fit.
@@pickyaudio Thanks bro. I’m really tempted to buy them because they sounded so good but I’m worried that they will hurt my ears again. It was just the back part of the unit where it pressed on the outside of the ear. If these are smaller then they might not press so hard.
First let me say that I love the way you organize your videos. They are very interesting and informative. My question is…. Why don’t you review the high end buds like B&W Pi7, B&O EQ, or M&D MW08? I’m leaning towards trying the Sennheisers but would love your opinion!
Thanks, Pete
Great video! I just lost my Momentums. Very sad. But... I wanted your opinion on the Sennheiser CX 400BT's? Do you own a pair or have you tried them? Thanks!
Thanks! Sorry to hear about your momentum’s. I’ll be getting the 400bt very soon 🙌
can i use them independently for phone calls? for example can i use the left one until the battery runs out and switch to the right one while the left is charging? again just for phone calls thanks.
Sadly not, only the right or left I forget which one. I mentioned it in the video
thank you for the video. I've been deciding btwn these or the bose qc...I think you just made my decision for me. thanks again!!!
No worries! I hope you enjoy whichever pair you get 😊
@@pickyaudio thank you
There is a new firmware update - 6/2021. Do you know what it updates? Thanks
Did you tested them compared with the bose qc earbuds and airpods pro? Which one is the loudest? I have the airpods pro, i want to change them to the bose or sennh mom 2, but I want them to be at least at the level of loudness of the airpods pros. Thank you!
How are these for working out and playing sports?
They work pretty well for me. A few readjustments needed but not bad
Have it turned black or earbuds still white after 10 month use? Please help? I have black and wanted to buy white for my gal.
Mine are still super clean and are my most used earbud 😊
@@pickyaudio Thank you very much my friend! I am getting one now. Have a wonderful week ahead, best regards 😊
Do the sennheizer momentum 2 have an ability to locate headphones if one or both fall out of your ear?
Nope
Thank you for the quick reply
Very thorough video and enjoyable, you got my sub. Youll grow in no time im surprised you dont have more subs :D
Thanks I’m glad you found it enjoyable. I Appreciate the kind words 😊
Great videos man, really underrated !
Thank you 😊
Got amazon renewed pair at $135 in India. 6 months seller warranty.
Solid deal 🙌😊
Great Review! Thank You..
No worries! 😊
Why I don't hear much difference when I turn/off the high end tuning?
It’ll depend on the kind of music your listening to. It’s more noticeable with instrumentation
Does the sound quality from momentum true wireless 1 same as the new one?......Can u make a review for Harman Kardon Tws Fly..
Slightly different. Without eq the mom 1 are more bass heavy (too much imo) and the treble is too harsh as well
Fantastic review mate super detailed, grabbing these next week. Subbed cant wait for more. Cheers
I have seen other of yours that state they have used either the right or the left earbud individually, I've even seen demo videos. Also I believe they do have quick charge? just wondering if you have any updated experience with only the left but working as an option or not
Only the right. I couldn’t find any info about fast charging
Would you say these are better than the xm4’s?
Yet to test ✌️
Weird, I don't have the high end sound tuning on my smart control app, did you have to do something to enable it? I have everything updated.
That is weird, as long as your app is up to date and the earbuds as well it should be there
Thanks nice and informative. I own one of this recently. BUT the max volume of this buds are not adequate for my occasional enjoyment.. when I compare with AirPod Pro. Is there any thing I need to do in-settings ? Appreciate a reply .
Yea these aren’t the loudest buds out there. You could EQ and make them slightly louder but only by a small amount
Hi can you explain how do change language in settings. I recently received one in Germany the voice of pairing not in English? Thanks for help
I hit like, when you broke down how each set of buds sound, relative to the individual genres!
Well done.
I’m glad you liked it 😊
Would you recommend these or the Sony M4?
Yet to test the XM4 so can't say for sure. Features go to the XM4 sound I'm not sure
Great quality video. Keep it up, I really believe you'll have a successful channel if you keep this up!
Thanks for the support! 😊
Which of the 3 earphones Galaxy Badzpro and Huawei FreeBad Pro and anc 1more do you suggest to buy
High end sound tuning isn't on my app ?
I like your Defqon 1 poster!
Thanks!
Is yours left microhone working? Mine only the right one works
@Picky Audio
Did you test it for idle battery drain? Surprised you did not attempt to test it for this one since the 1st version suffered from that.
Oh yea no issues with that. I didn’t see any issues from the other 100 reviews out there as well 😅
@@pickyaudio Thanks for the info :)
Dude you finally got some! I was interested hearing your opinion vs the H1, I do wish there was lower bass the M2's. The high end tuning seems to make the soundstage narrower, I've gone back and forth between the 2 and I feel this setting off sounds a bit more natural. Id recommend you buying some KZ Zs10 IEM's, there not bluetooth although you can get a bluetooth band for them. If you think the treble is good on the sennies, the KZ's are amazing! Also the momentum 3 overheads are pretty tasty bass head certified 100 percent djent approved too. My fave headphone is Hifiman Sundara, they have changed my understanding of what imaging, speed, punch and soundstage mean.
Oh nice I have a pair of KZ S10 Pro. They’re definitely on another level sound wise compared to most TWS buds. Keen to try the mom 3’s as well 🙌
It seems like these are the peak for sound quality on wireless earbuds, at least for now. But let me ask this: what exactly is the "peak" of sound quality on a wireless earbud compared with a wired one? Let's just take an example: ONE MORE Quad Driver IEM's, which you can get for about $100. Those sound really good. Can the Senn's compete with those on SQ? With an IOS based bluetooth connection, you'll be connected via AAC, which is certainly not lossless. But a wired setup will give you exactly what is on the audio output of your device. So for someone who values audio quality like myself, will any wireless earbud satisfy me?
Yea when it comes to wired IEM’s you can spend like 50-60 and if they’re a decent pair (like my kzs10 pro for example). They’ll outperform and TWS earbud since the only focus is the drivers where TWS requires so much extra tech
@@pickyaudio Thanks. I don't really need all that tech, but can see that Apple has piled so much into theirs that everyone else has to follow suit with features. I just wish someone would make a low featured wireless set with superb sound quality equal to a wired pair. That's something I'd be interested in.
It’s getting pretty close but the main issue being you can only fit so many drivers into the bud. There are those Bluetooth adapters you can plug into your IEM’s. Still new tech but it’s getting better
How to activate bluetooth on sennheiser with only one earpiece. Tnx!!!
