" ... I had the HD650 headphones so decided to test these wireless ones out and they work great. ... "
" ... I own a couple of pairs over the ear headphones, and have always liked the sound quality of earbuds when listening to music. ... The sound - this is where these earbuds truly shine. ... "
" ... These are very comfortable as well and are so easy to put in and take out. ... They look nice and the case is very nice looking as well. ... "
" ... The design of Fingertip control surprised me a lot. ... I didn't expect Sennheiser to make such a technological design. ... "
" ... It's the best I've heard from nearly any earbud, and I am sure you'll see that in many other reviews. ... "
" ... The sound quality is beyond my expectations, although you might want to get some good fitting ear plugs since the bass wont sound as good. ... I really like the design but wished there was a non fabric case since work always has my hands dirty. ... "
" ... It took me a week or so to find a proper fit that would seal and be comfortable. ... Case is sturdy and charges the buds when they are in the case. ... "
" ... These are big earbuds, and while I don’t personally care that they are big, I do care that they fall out of my ears. ... I did end up changing the foam tips the earbuds came with to a third party design and they stayed in my ear more consistently when I jogged. ... Overall, the True Wireless are a fantastic set of earbuds that happens to fall out of my ears. ... "

" ... Hands down the best true wireless earbuds I’ve ever used. ... "
" ... Great headphones very comfortable. ... "
" ... It's like sticking a subwoofer directly into your ear. ... They are comfortable but you may need big ears to fit well, if you want to know what they feel like, not joking stick a rolo in your ear if it fits then these will fit. ... I disagree after ra few days it feels very natural. ... "
" ... Among all the headphones I owned, this one is the best one. ... Comfort 9/10. ... "
" ... I had the HD650 headphones so decided to test these wireless ones out and they work great. ... "
" ... I have owned many pairs of wireless earbuds and headphones, from a variety of manufacturers. ... Normally, I would solve that problem with a pair of ComplyFoam tips but the ComplyFoam tips that work for the Sennheiser Momentum only come in the small/medium size for now. ... Now that I'm more used to the earbuds, I find them reasonably comfortable for up to two hours. ... I use the large tips, and the seal is tight ... They remain the best-sounding wireless earbuds that I've owned. ... "
" ... These would have the advantage over those as being way more comfortable, and way more subtle, likely with better sound . ... And it sounds very natural, like you're not even wearing earbuds. ... The sound quality blows away what my over-ear Shure headphones can do, the difference is absolutely noticeable. ... I really love these earbuds and I'm so glad I pulled the trigger on them. ... "
" ... But, I did not necessarily notice during my 48 hour hands on but after a few more days of experience it is clear that these earbuds DO NOT offer true "lag-free audio." ... The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless earbuds are on the slightly bulky side, but are light weight and fit snugly in each ear. ... "

" ... I have had zero connectivity issues, never once accidentally activated the touch controls, and have had no problems working the touch controls. ... "
" ... When using the buds on a phone call the sound is great on my side but still mediocre for whomever I am talking with. ... "
" ... Set up was a breeze. ... "
" ... They work fine for controlling audio volume but otherwise they can be a bit persnickety. ... "
" ... and the functions u can press on each earbud are very intuitive and useful. ... "
" ... I loved the idea of being able to toggle outside sound as needed through just a simple tap-tap. ... The combination of taps needed is easy to memorize as early as day 1, there's nothing really complicated about it. ... I had a 15 minute work call from an upset customer come in while I was wearing the earbuds, by the way . ... "
" ... I didnt test the call quality yet but I bought this mainly for music. ... Update: I just tested call quality and my girlfriend told me that my voice was clear, opposite to what other said. ... "
" ... Sound quality is fantastic, fit-and-finish is top notch, call quality is very good. ... "

" ... Amazing sound, noise cancellation, I can walk 100 feet away from my phone before it even begins to cut out. ... "
" ... Added Compy foam tips which made the noise cancelation complete. ... "
" ... Also these are not noise canceling headphones though the in-ear bud dies a good enough job of keeping out most daily noise. ... "
" ... As for noise cancellation, they must work pretty well because I can yell to him from 10ft away and he can't here me, or so he says! ... "
" ... Sound isolation is very good, although they do not have active noise cancelation, they still close you off from other sounds quite well. ... "
" ... All in all excellent sound quality and noice cancelation. ... "
" ... Everything sounds super clear, its gets pretty loud and the has a deep base. ... "
" ... Not noise cancellation. ... "

" ... They rarely connect to Samsung Galaxy S+. ... If your earbuds cant dependably connect to your phone, they're not worth much. ... "
" ... I tried this on a few devices and the connectivity issue persisted across devices. ... "
" ... Then yesterday, after restarting my phone, it doesn't connect . ... Get "doesn't connect" message from my phone. ... "Doesn't connect." ... "
" ... Relatedly, I frequently try to just browse social media with my phone but find there is no audio. ... If you want to use your laptop and your phone, you have to re-pair each device every time which is a severe downgrade from the standard on the market (AirPods and Bose soundsport frees, and I imagine others). ... "
" ... I tried installing the official app and sometimes it will connect to the earbuds while they are actively telling me they have no connection. ... Forcibly unpairing and pairing works sometimes, but not always. ... "
" ... The app worked "ok" and seemed to be the only way to get them connected, i also tried all the tricks others had to get it working. ... I tried to forget device on my phone and then start over new, this would sometimes work but, mostly never would connect again. ... Just to try and eliminate "me" from the equation, I had other people try to get them to connect to their phones and they had the same result. ... I have tried to get these to work for 3 weeks now, trying to reset the buds, different phones or tablets, laptops and it seems these will not really connect to anything at all leaving me no choice but to return them. ... "
" ... To give you a taste, "Not connected. ... "
" ... For starters when I put them in it’s always been a hassle to “automatically” link up to my iPhone. ... "

" ... The connectivity is pretty poor though . ... "

" ... Then yesterday, after restarting my phone, it doesn't connect . ... Get "doesn't connect" message from my phone. ... "Doesn't connect." ... "
" ... until then, I have to continue using my momentum wireless M2.0 ... "
" ... furthermore, if you do decide to use them with your computer, you end up with limited functionality due to the lack of support on windows or mac. ... from your phone, but there is no corresponding software to use if you're on a desktop or laptop. ... "
" ... For starters when I put them in it’s always been a hassle to “automatically” link up to my iPhone. ... "

" ... Bummer considering the price on these ... "
" ... The price is quite high. ... "
" ... I was skeptical at first about the not too positive reviews since this is a high end product. ... "
" ... That makes sense, given the cost. ... "
" ... The best in the market. ... "
" ... For the price, you expect them to connect without issues. ... "

" ... Phone conversations are not clear. ... "
" ... You have to turn BT off on your phone if you want to answer a call without the in your ears. ... - Microphone is poor enough that most people ask me to not use my headset when I answer or make a call with these. ... "
" ... They are the worst in phone calls, the person you’re talking to can barely hear you. ... "
" ... I couldn't reliably use them to pick up calls. ... Swapping to pick up phone calls would not work 100% of the time and often I would need to reconnect them to get them to be usable in phone mode again. ... "
" ... In addition, if you are expecting to use these devices on phone calls (I am and was not when I purchased them), you may be disappointed. ... Very difficult to talk and hear phone conversations. ... "
" ... That is, if you could call anyone on these. ... The call quality is . ... "
" ... The volume also doesn't get loud enough for phone calls, so they're pretty pointless for anything other than music. ... "
" ... I’m using iPhone XS Max I tried to max up the volume for phone call still very low. ... Cannot even hear what they said. ... "

" ... I was so excited to get these and am so disappointed when they started acting up. ... "
" ... I bought this product in February and loved it until last week. ... "
" ... In less than 2 months the left earpiece is not working, as in won't "boot up". ... "
" ... The left was entirely unresponsive. ... Did not show any sign of life. ... "
" ... I set them aside, and went to use them this morning (4 days later) and they were completely dead. ... "
" ... The left bud quit working randomly and would usually never come on. ... "
" ... While have these buds for only a couple of months I experienced a couple unpairings,general inconsistencies,until one day they just stopped working. ... When they did work they were great,but they didn't last a year ... "
" ... If you replace these through Sennheiser the turn around time is two weeks. ... "

" ... Touch controls are horrible. ... "
" ... Both the case AND the buds do not turn off and there is NO button to do so. ... The touch controls are just out of hand. ... "
" ... However the quality control has a lot to be desired. ... "
" ... The touch controls are not intuitive. ... While the volume controls make sense, it doesn’t make sense to have 2 taps on the left to forward the music and 3 taps on the left to make it go backwards. ... "
" ... The touch controls never work the first time and you have to keep tapping them which make a loud popping noise in your ear which eventually hurts. ... "
" ... Contrary to some other reviewers opinions, I didn't find the touch controls finicky or hard to comprehend. ... "
" ... You can't adjust individual frequencies which is a little frustrating. ... Navigation/Buttons: I was worried a bit when I read reviews about the taps being a nuisance, but it's not nearly as bad as some of the reviews make it out to be. ... One thing I like about these is that you can control the volume with taps and don't have to adjust it on the device. ... "
" ... Every single time I workout I get a “Volume Max” message and the right ear bud does not respond to touch controls. ... "

" ... It’s like they went on break. ... "
" ... They don't disconnect when you put them in their case, so the next time you pick them up the earbuds and case will be dead and need to be charged. ... The case getts picked at just putting it your pocket and looks bad rather quickly. ... "
" ... They also feel very cheap. ... The plastic feels very low grade. ... They are really slippery to handle and often slip out of your hands when trying to put them on. ... "
" ... Also the case hinge broke with no mistreatment. ... "
" ... The case broke from its plastic, thin plastic fastener. ... "
" ... Case is borderline pocketable, wish was a bit thinner. ... "
" ... Essentially, if they're in their case . ... "
" ... - "premium" case is cheap and plastic-y ... "

" ... The volume also doesn't get loud enough for phone calls, so they're pretty pointless for anything other than music. ... "
" ... Also it is way less loud than airpod. ... "
" ... Would be a 5 star review if volume was louder. ... "
" ... 2- Sometimes in the the middle of a call or playing some music, the left earbud suddenly jams the lower volume and I get the 'Volume Min' prompt repeated over and over - the only way to stop it at that point is replace back in the charger and continue with the right earbud only - left earbud usually works properly again after I reconnect it (but not always). ...
