Was tempted at $150, but nah. But for $100, ok I'll bite! (Main reason for me is because it's one of / the only true wireless earphones that supports AptX-LL - the Momentum True Wireless V2 does not!)

This is the version 1 of the Momentum True Wireless. Supposedly has great sound (see here), but has a battery drain issue (which can be mitigated with this fix by inserting a magnetic USB-C plug - meaning the case will stay charged for about 4 days (so will still need frequent recharging, but not as bad). Edit: See comments below here and here about the battery issues being exaggerated. I will leave all this here, just so people are aware there is a battery drain issue, but the extent of it, I can't say.

Supports: SBC, AAC, AptX & AptX-LL (one of the few/only true wireless earphones to support AptX Low Latency!)

A joke at the original RRP of $499, but for $100, it's not a bad option to consider (particularly if you have an AptX Low Latency Transmitter, like the Genki for Nintendo Switch).

          I bought now, I don't care that much about $9

          People on this forum are ruthless with returns, and honestly it kills businesses. They'll slowly change return policies, or add shipping fees. Businesses can't sustain all these costs long term.

          Otherwise I'd ban individual people, if I was a business and noticed someone do that. I think it's well within their rights. I feel it's total abuse, ASOS has already started warning people over returns. I've seen retailers add set postage fees now, if you abuse something you'll basically burn yourself longtime over a pathetic saving.

          Just my view.

    These headphones have the worst UI out of any wireless headphones I've used, by a long shot. I definitely wouldn't recommend them or buy them again. Literally made an account just to post this, it's that bad.

    • BarginGrabber on 11/12/2020 - 15:03

      Like the App UI? If so, don't think I've really used my Sony ones and they are one of the better UIs

      • drin on 11/12/2020 - 19:18

        No, like the actual buttons on the device. They're touch, and they're super sensitive - if you have them in and you lay down, they'll pause. They don't automatically connect both headphones at the same time. They're a pain hey.

    I'm just surprised that these haven't sold out yet!

    • zrmx on 12/12/2020 - 09:03

      Me too, I wonder if they were that badly received and have such huge stock leftover after releasing V2.

      Or their previous price/RRP was just too greedy banking on people to jump on its brand and buy it without noticing its competitions.

      • caprimulgus on 12/12/2020 - 15:33

        It's a bit of both. They are meant to be a fantastic sounding earphone, hampered by some deal-breaking flaws. Hard to justify the outrageous RRP in comparison to the competition with these flaws (even if by many accounts they have better sound quality), so they probably didn't sell as well as they should have. My guess is they have a lot more leftover stock to clear than typical because of that.

        But Sennheiser often have ridiculous prices, followed by massive discounts - just look at the IE80S BT, which has an unfathomable $800 RRP, going for as low as $250, and they haven't even been out for very long! That is some facepalm pricing right there!

  • Theoo on 12/12/2020 - 15:16

    Just saying but my almost 2 years old one has just became useless since the left earbud stop playing music even when i still able to use it to make command ( which means it was not about the bluetooth connection and this is a common issue as i checked on Google for this case).
    Anyway, i still wanna go back for this one since their noice isolation by itself was way too great ( no need for the ANC) and in case you need for more impression, just go for this ear tip https://www.amazon.com.au/SpinFit-CP360-Patented-Silicone-Ea….

    • caprimulgus on 12/12/2020 - 15:24

      If it's within the 2 year warranty, you should get that in for warranty quick - I've read reports that they will send you out a brand new pair! :)

      (Or I guess you could wait for them to run out, in the hope that they send you a V2!) :)

      And +1 for the SpinFit tips - I use them, on another IEM.

    Sound is amazing. I have tried and own all other high end models as I love TWS(collect them). These kill everything, it's like wearing production cans. Crazy what they did with these. Guessing that's why they are so big, crazy tech in the drivers.

      • illz on 19/12/2020 - 10:24
        +1

        If sound quality is what your after, 100%
        The battery on these are only 4 hours, no wireless charging, thankfully they are usb c.. But I don't plan to listen to music longer than 4 hours so these are perfect and I don't need any other feature.
        One feature these do have which I was surprised was the pass through while listening feature, you can hear outside noise while playing music. That's big for me.
        I feel like consumers lose sight on what earbuds are really for, sound. It's the most important feature and often gets overlooked for other features they wouldn't even necessarily use.

        I have better earbuds for calls, features etc. I recommend the soundcore liberty air 2's for call quality and features. They are insane.

        Hope this helps.

        • russianMeerkat on 19/12/2020 - 15:35

          I've used my Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 2 earphones and I really like them.
          I think the feature your thinking of is Transparent mode? I find this feature very useful as well on the version 2's.

          For the price of the Version 1's it's quite tempting but since I already have the versions 2's, it's hard to know if it's really worth it.

      • russianMeerkat on 31/12/2020 - 09:48

        Thanks for the link 😊 It really helped me.

        I returned the Version 2 earphones as I felt the ANC wasn't really doing much for me. For my needs I couldn't justify the extra cost for the other improvements.The improved battery life was the hardest decision on whether I wanted it or not but ultimately I came to terms that if I'm not going to use them a lot it's probably not going to be a vital need.

        I emailed The sennheiserau eBay store asking if they'll be getting more stock and they've said that:

        "We do still have stock available.

        I believe the add listing can only have a certain number available, when we “run out of stock” the listing comes down, until it auto tops up. Maybe check it out again later today?"

    Anyone find that the left earbud stops working if the right earbud is more than about 15cm from it? I know they don't work independently due to the master/slave system i.e. you can't leave one charging in the case while using the other, but I didn't know you can't even take the right earbud out of your ear and hold it in your hand; 15cm is practically nothing! Is this the same for everyone?

      That is the Smart Pause function (pauses if one ear is removed, based on proximity sensor). I believe you can turn it off in the app.

        Thanks, the smart pause function was off so I think the left earbud has a tiny range and needs to be very close to the right. From reviews the v2s have a much longer range, probably another vast improvement they made over the v1.
