Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 firmware update

The acclaimed Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 gets even better with just a tap. The new firmware update, available via the Smart Control App (iOS, Android) enables multipoint device connectivity and a high-resolution sound mode for convenience and quality.
​
​“Our latest update reflects the dynamic ways people want to use MOMENTUM True Wireless 3, including our most requested feature – multipoint. For example, one can switch from their favorite music streaming app to join an incoming conference call from their laptop – and back again – without having to reconnect manually,” says Frank Foppe, Sennheiser True Wireless Product Manager. “And our new high-resolution sound mode enhances the listening experience even further, letting customers enjoy wireless audio that rivals the rich and lively detail found in a wired connection.” 

The power of connection

​Now, the premium MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 sound experience is available on multiple devices with a simple tap. The latest update allows users to instantly switch between two paired devices for dynamic management of active connections. Examples include streaming a podcast on a smartphone before switching over to an incoming video call, shifting from a television series on your tablet to a mobile voice call, and balancing voice calls between work and personal phones. Multipoint also switches back to the original audio source device if a call is answered mid-stream, and otherwise allows for effortless switching between two Bluetooth audio devices. Lastly, the multipoint update allows for seamless switching through all mutually supported codecs, such as aptX Adaptive, and SBC – even across mobile operating system platforms from various manufacturers.
​
​Next level performance
​Bringing listeners even closer to the details in their music, the MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 update also introduces a high-resolution sound mode featuring 24-bit depth and 96 kHz sample rate capability, unlocking sound quality comparable to a wired headphone. By connecting MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 to an audio source also using the aptX Adaptive codec, this mode increases the Bluetooth bitrate up to 420 kilobits per second for optimum sound. In RF-challenged environments such as bustling public transportation, the MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 may utilise the codec’s data scaling capabilities to seamlessly adapt the connection integrity at any given moment. Users can enable the high-resolution sound mode via Sennheiser’s Smart Control App, making MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 the ideal companion for all popular music streaming services and their highest quality subscription tiers.
​
​Availability
​Multipoint and high-resolution mode are available after updating the MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 to the latest firmware (Release 2.10.19 or higher) and updating the Smart Control App (App Store, Google Play; release 4.1.5 or higher).  The release also contains numerous optimisations and enhancements for Bluetooth and touch control features.

Tech Review – Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3

The Sennheiser Momentum True wireless 3 have been my latest earbuds to test here and these come in at the more expensive end of the market, as is the market is pretty overcrowded now however giving the consumer lots of choice which is not a bad thing. People as spoiled for choice and with the cost to performance ratio so good now with earbuds are these worth the spend? There is more earbuds out there that offer just the same for less and this might be the only caveat for the new earbuds from the company but brand fans will not let that get in the way and as the saying goes you have to pay to play or you get what you pay for do these justify their high price in the earbud market? Let’s take a look.

Design, build and fit

Well those who have had the previous two models will see some subtle differences here with the new one, as mentioned in my detailed video review and unboxing I have not tried the previous pairs and my review is based on these alone but you can easily spot the differences between new and old. Either way the design language is not to distant yet perhaps better this time around and this should please users if more than anything. These are slightly larger earbuds than other out there so take that into account.

The App

As expected they have a great app to go along with the earbuds and at this price point it is expected, again I go through the app in detail and all the functions at hand and how you can customise your earbuds and it gets a thumbs up from me asides on thing and that is the data collection on using Sound Zones and in order to use this you need to sign up this may bother some but sure look at what else other companies know about us already but it is worth noting this.The data is location data if you must know and again where that goes and how it is used is another matter. Another cool feature is the Anti Wind which is useful outdoors more so on calls but again cleans up annoying noises.

The Sound

The part everyone wants to know, still testing the biggest range of earbuds here in Ireland these are up there at the top, highs lows and mids are great, great bass and more and the app just helps you along to get the right sound for you, with more expensive heavy hitters out there these easily get in my top 3 earbuds to data and it has been a while since one of those had to be shelved from the current 3 I had ranked at the the top, for music films gaming and podcasts you are in for a treat there but everyone’s ears are different however these do shine regardless and anyone that picks these up will be happy. The ANC is up there again but not the best but not far off it either overall and in fairness it is hard to compare earbuds to headphones but this factor is getting better making earbuds having a more complete effect overall with the likes of ANC getting so good. Sound profiles this time are Bluetooth 5.2 with aptX Adaptive, aptX, AAC, SBC.

Battery Life

Battery life is averaging around 26 hours with maxed out volume and so on this is a real world use test after several weeks testing them they will go closed to the 28hr mark with things turned down a few notches as with any earbuds that are highly customisable with the likes of ANC and so that does affect the total endurance of the earbuds.

Overall

These are really good earbuds and brand loyalists will be happy here overall with the product and perhaps some of the new app features minus the data caveat, to be fair others are also doing this too, If you want the best performance out of the earbuds do the soundcheck test and try out the Sound zones you can create up to 20 of these and these can set the tone for the environment you are in and also use the sound check again to create a better set up just for you, for calls they are fine overall and do a decent job, you also get wireless charging which for me is great and of course USB-C fast charging.  You have an IPX 4 rating which will suit most and now new fins alongside the integrated tips which again you should check all to get the best fit.

First Look – Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 3

The all new Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 which have recently launched have finally landed here at techbuzz and we are looking forward to testing these out over the coming week or two. This is the third pair of earbuds in their successful series and there is some slight differences between new and old albeit more down to aesthetics and the addition of wings, but how they sound is what most people are in for and we will have a result soon here and on our YouTube where we go hands on with the earbuds and the app which is excellent.

Any questions feel free to ask in the interim and we will be back soon with the full review. Just like its predecessors, the MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 delivers outstanding sound quality, centred around Sennheiser’s True Response transducer. Based on dynamic 7mm drivers manufactured in Germany, it produces an immersive stereo sound with deep bass, natural mids and detailed highs. The new Sound Personalisation feature provides an enhanced sound experience via a guided listening test to setup the perfect sound for each user’s individual hearing. In addition, the Smart Control App offers a choice of presets and an equaliser feature to tailor the sound to the user’s taste

Available at D.I.D Harvey Norman and more.

Tech Review – Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 3 Headphones. #Tech #Sennheiser

The Sennheiser Momentum 3 are best described as a high end set of cans with a luxurious finish which of course is reflected on their price but they are worth it if you have the money to spare. All features you expect to find are present on these headphones and at this price and they also come with an app to enhance the experience even more with the option to change the EQ settings.

You also get a nice travel case with these and also expected at this price and excellent for storing the product when not in use.

When it comes to comfort they shine here too offering noise isolation on the ears with really soft cups and the same for the headband, I did not suffer any head pinching after hours of use as I have seen some people say and this is most likely down to the shape of your head rather than the build quality of the headphones which is excellent. There is decent padding on the headband and it is an average amount of cushion to compare to others out there.

When it comes to controls you have all placed on one side which is the best way to do things and not split them, We go through all these in detail in the video review below and you also get auto play and pause so when you take them off they stop playing music and you also have more functions like three ANC modes which again is now a standard at high end headphones.

 

 

You also get tile integration which is also now seen on high end headphones and this is great for the forgetful type of if you happen to misplace or lose them.

When it comes to sound which is the bigger question these are excellent throughout and with their proprietary app you are in for a treat and they are loud which most know I like, The levels of ANC the highs lows and mids and great bass and one thing I noted is they are great for picking out background noise and something you might not hear watching tv or movies these pick it up and they are also excellent on voice calls too and overall it has been a great experience using these and they really put it up to their competitors but not so much on the ANC side however do a great job overall and I would easily buy a pair of these with my own money. Their price will come down and varies and we can expect a new model soon but if you have some cash sitting around and want a new pair of headphones these are certainly a pair of headphones  to check out..
