Sennheiser Momentum Sport Earbuds with Sport Sound Tuning and Adaptive ANC, Secure Fit, 24-Hour Battery Life, Fitness Tracker for Body Performance Data, Black

Amazing headphones, great audio and made really sturdy

It is shocking how bad these are for the price.For those unaware, Sennheiser sold their audio division back in 2022, as someone who was a big fan of their products I was wary that their quality might drop under new ownership, but I never imagined it would be as bad as this. Aside from the bass response, the audio quality of these headphones is on par with $35 skullcandy headphones you buy from an airport vending machine out of desperation because you forgot to pack something actually good. Seriously, these sound like you're holding earbuds an inch away from your head, not actively seated in your ear canal.They tout Active Noise Cancellation profiles as a product feature, I would ask what the point of these profiles are, considering they don't seem to even do anything. I tested these while riding my bike and the Wind Cancellation profile was non-existent, I have 10 year old regular wired IEMs that have nothing more than a good fit in the ear to overcome wind noise that perform better, and they were half the price of these.So how do you get past the fact that you can hear the wind more than the music? Turn the volume up, right? Not with these, the maximum volume is pitiful, good luck hearing anything you actually want to, but you'll sure be able to hear the overtuned treble, which will assuredly hurt your ears more than the poor fit. Speaking of hurting your ears, the bluetooth connection is abysmal, and is prone to actively crackle at a volume that makes it genuinely sound like the earbuds are attempting to electrocute your eardrums and cause permanent hearing loss.These come with wingtip attachments clearly designed to fit along a stripe in the design of the headphone, with a dash on the headphones you align a hole in the attachment with to make sure they're on perfectly, but they actively prevent you from clicking the headphones into place in the charging case unless you slightly misalign them out of the way.I was a big fan of Sennheiser for a long time, have had several of their products over the years, if this is indicative of where they are as a company, I will probably never buy from them again.

After 4 years with another product, I decided to switch it up. I’m pleased I did. Here’s my take.I’m a carpenter and use ear buds to listen and ANC to protect my hearing.Pros:If you take the time to try out the ear wings and fittings, you can approximate a very good fit.Tapping your face, area next to the ear buds, is a welcome feature.Clarity of sound is nice.Case and earbuds fee durable.Voice cues are nice.Can listen with one earbud in.Comfortable to me after 3.5 hours of use.ConsLeft earbud cuts out and turns off at random.Anti wind turns on at random and doesn’t seem different from ANC.A loud pop in left and right earbud happens at random.Anti wind? Not accurate.Battery life is poor when using ANC. You might get 3 hours if you’re lucky.I downloaded the latest hardware update. Maybe this is the cause of the ghosts in the earbud.These fit differently than most products of similar use protocols. Take the time to go through best fit instructions.So far, I will take the good with the bad. I’m going to reach out to the manufacturer for guidance on the left ear issues. I like them much more than any of the Beats products I’ve used.

Fits well with my large ears (usually need a large or XL silicone tip to make isolation work).They are decently flush, do not sick out far. I appreciate the custom tip and wing sizes. I have not tried the Polar Watch Health Features that sync with this, but I can tell you that it is great to see Realtime heart rate and body temp (seems accurate when comparing with my other sensors) in the Sennheiser App.Because they fit snug, I do get a bit of ear fatigue but these are the only earbuds that stay in my ear with sports, eating, or moving.Noice Canceling is great, worked well on a pain. "Wind mode" seems to work like transparency mode on other earbuds. The sound... better than Pixel Buds Pro 2, possibly better than Bose... Nice highs and good balanced lows (not overpowering bass but there is an emphasis on base). First pair of earbuds to have the treble be sharp and precise, I love the sound.A bit expensive at full cost but if you can get on a deal, I would recommend them if you need noise canceling earbuds and have hard to fit (always fall out) type of ears.
