Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless Earbuds (2018)

Good spatial imaging ; Rich sound ; Good core Bluetooth performance

Some inter-earpiece blips ; The price is high

Technically accomplished true wireless earphones offering lush sound – but the price is high and intuitiveness isn't what it should be

Strong full-range sound Stylish design Case comes with two full charges

Imprecise volume control Could be more comfortable

With stylish design, smart controls, and professional sound, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless earbuds are a great cordless alternative to those fed up with trailing cables or wired remotes.

Ergonomic design ; Incredible in-ear audio ; Magnetic carry case is hugely convenient

So costly for something so small

Sennheiser's first 'true wireless' earbuds ditch the neck cable for boxy earbuds that are light, comfortable, and capable of improbably premium sound. There are cheaper options out there, but Sennheiser's offering may emerge as the best argument yet...

Great sound with app-based EQ adjustment to tailor ; Sensible design and splash-resistance ; AptX and Bluetooth 5.0 ; Included case is portable and charges buds quickly

Battery life isn't the best on the market (around 3hrs per charge with two more from the case) ; Pretty pricey all considered ; Touch controls take time to get used to

Very accomplished sound ; Decent touch- and voice-control ; aptX 5.0 and aptX low-latency Bluetooth

Biggish buds and charging case ; Humdrum battery life

“Go big or go home” – Sennheiser knows which it prefers

Best-in-class sound ; Comfortable ; Elegant

Connectivity can be problematic ; Finicky touch controls ; Expensive

The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless are the epitome of how wireless earbuds should sound. They’re exciting, keep you engaged and don’t sound congested or muddy in any way.

The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless headphones fit comfortably and sound excellent, and their wireless performance was solid with minimal dropouts. They work very well for making calls, have touch controls, and their battery-charging case charges via...

The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless headphones are pricey, and they're a bit larger than Jabra's Elite 65t buds. Battery life isn't quite as good as what you get with certain competing models, and not everybody will love the touch controls.

Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless are the best-sounding true wireless earphones we've tested to date, but you'll have to pay a premium for that better sound.

Superior sound quality ; Durable build quality

Battery life lags behind the competition ; Touch controls may be hit or miss

Best audio among true wireless earbuds ; Respectable battery life ; Refined design ; USB-C charging

Frustrating touch controls ; Don’t always turn off when you put them in the case ; Pricey compared to other capable models
