Hello? This is Route9
Sennheiser's new wireless earbuds, Momentum True Wireless,
which have been insisting on sound quality for the past 77 years,
were released in May, just two years after the release of the second generation.
For those of you who have been waiting for the 3rd generation for a long time, after hearing about the news in April and receiving orders,
each series is sold out following the 1st and 2nd generations.
I would like to tell you about the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3,
the best wireless earphone from the world's best sounding master,
which I've been waiting for for two years.
I always come across a new Sennheiser product.
This time, I am always curious about what intentions the product was planned and the direction was set.
Because Sennheiser is the best sound company in name and reality,
it has more diverse and accurate
know-how than anyone else in realizing sound,
which is the essence of sound.
This is because it serves as a beacon for people
and allows you to know
the flow of the market.
Now, it was a wireless earphone
with the best sound quality that contained the values
that Sennheiser has been pursuing for 77 years,
where the main line of the Momentum True Wireless 2 is ‘earbuds that put sound first’.
However, if you look at the stencil of Sennheiser's Momentum True Wireless
3 this time, it is 'Inspired by music', inspired
by music. It means that you can be inspired by listening
to music with this new device beyond the highest quality device. I was very curious
about what Sennheiser's solution was to inspire, and I had
no choice but to open the product quickly.
First of all,
if you look at the box, the width is about 1 cm larger than the
previous 2nd generation, and the blue color of Sennheiser,
which always has a cool and clear feeling, is maintained.
It seems to give a hint that the resolution of clear sound quality
has improved. The new adaptive noise canceling function on the front of the box and the
wireless charging icon stand out as an
upgraded new function, and you can see that the aptx adaptive
codec has been added
to the right side compared to the previous version.
When you open the box, the first welcome paper you see
is ‘Turn great sound into your
sound! It gives you another big hint to
turn the amazing sound quality into your own sound. Under
the paper, at a glance, you can see a
case that has been reduced in size for two years,
a brief instruction manual
at the bottom, a USB A to C cable with the Sennheiser logo
under it, and a total of 4 sizes of ear tips and 3 sizes of ear fins. there
is. Also below it are additional manuals and safety instructions in different languages. The case, which was
covered with a black sponge in the previous work,
has been changed to a reproducible white color paper material,
and when the box is opened and looked
at at a glance, it also seems to have a slightly cooler feeling.
If you look at the case, the first thing that catches
your eye is the charging terminal and the charging status indicator on the front, unlike its
predecessor. The existing charging status check button disappears,
and you can check the charging status of the case by
opening the case instead. And when you put it in your hand, you can
see at a glance that the size has been reduced, but when
you listen to it, you can feel the strong presence with
a slightly heavy feeling. The case exterior uses the
same dark gray color as the previous work, using a combination
of canvas fabric material and ABS plastic material
as it is, continuing the luxurious identity of the Momentum series. In
contrast, the interior is treated with matte black color, giving it a subtle luxury.
And this Momentum True Wireless 3
series was released in a total of three colors: graphite, black, and white, and
there is a difference in the color of the case according
to this color. The color you are watching right now is the main
color graphite. In the previous work, the case and the
earbuds were separated, but this time, the earbuds with a
completely new design are placed inside the case.
When you take out the new earbuds, you
can see at a glance that the size has definitely been reduced
compared to the previous one. It is said
to be 16% smaller than the previous model, but
the size and number
of connection terminals on the rear have also been reduced, and the size of the proximity sensor
has also been
reduced. Conversely, however, the brightness of the status light has been noticeably brighter for easy
viewing from the outside. It has an ergonomic canal design
with smooth lines and curved lines, and the graphite color exudes
a metallic feel in appearance. The
hairline of the previous work was densely
engraved in the Sennheiser logo.
The logo that stands out when slightly lit by light is quite impressive.
Now, let's take a closer look at the
features of Momentum True Wireless 3.
First is the battery. Battery life is the same as
before. The earbuds can be used for 7 hours, the case for 21 hours, for a
total of 28 hours of use, and can be fully
charged in an hour and a half charge, and can be played for
1 hour with a 10-minute
charge. However, in the case of the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, in
actual use, it can be used for a longer period of time than
its predecessor. The reason is that there is an auto
power off function in the new Sennheiser app. If you
set this, the power goes out of sleep mode and the power is completely cut
off when the unit is left outside the case. There is
a difference because the power design that is maintained when
the unit is not used for a
short time is different. do. Also, the charging
port of the case is moved to the front of
the case, but when you actually take out and put the earbuds in, you do not
feel uncomfortable because you use the entire case while holding it. Rather, it is convenient to be able
to check the status indicator right away. And, above all, it
supports Qi wireless charging, so you can now use the charging cable freely.
Now, speaking of the fit, I would like to say that the fit is
improved by 200% compared to the 16% smaller size compared to
the previous model. It's really comfortable.
What makes this comfort is the smaller size, the weight reduced by 0.2g
compared to the previous model, and
the mounting of ear fins to
improve the fit. You can feel the excellent sound
insulation even if you turn it slightly without worrying about
it and wear it roughly. It can also be
used for a long time without any
discomfort. And finally, left and right independent use became possible.
Now, noise canceling is incomparably better than its predecessor, but
the vision that Sennheiser presents to the market itself
is different. If the noise canceling functions on the market
simply aimed at attenuating external sounds, Sennheiser automatically
adjusts the noise canceling function to
the surrounding environment to maintain good music quality
and a comfortable listening environment. The
function was applied for the first time in the
world. In simple terms, a small no-can
is applied in a quiet place and
a strong no-can is applied in a noisy place.
In fact, it caught the wind noise and the computer
fan sound very well, and the white
noise sound heard outdoors was perfectly blocked.
There was no dullness felt when using noise
canceling, and it was very good that it works naturally
as if it penetrates like smoke and
blocks the noise. The noise canceling function
has now become an essential feature in
the wireless earphone market, but adaptive noise canceling seems to
be a must in the premium wireless earphone market.
During a call, a system that uses a
total of 6
microphones is applied to deliver the user's voice. Unfortunately, the
person receiving the call does not
use earphones, so they do not feel a big difference compared to the previous
version. (Comparison of call recording)
However, in the case of the sound quality of the call where the other
party's voice is heard, compared to the
previous work, it was clearly felt that the sound was much clearer.
Now, the sound quality, which Sennheiser has always valued the
most, has improved significantly
from its predecessor. In fact, since the sound
quality of the previous work was so good, I was curious as
to how much the sound quality could be improved.
If the previous work felt like drinking a clear
and clean stream, I would like to tell you that
Momentum True Wireless 3 is like drinking very cool glacial water that
melted glaciers created over many years, like
the signature sound that only Sennheiser can achieve for a long time.
The sound is clearer and clearer overall from low to
high notes. Also, because the low tone is magnificent, it
goes well with music rich in kick and bass, and it has a very good sense
of space, so it is also good for listening to jazz or classical music. And the
better resolution is that the vocals, instruments, and notes are heard very clearly as if
they were alive one by one. When I actually listened
to it, I really prepared it so that I could properly appreciate the music. Oh, I
can feel that this is the signature sound of Sennheiser. When I listen to the music I enjoyed
listening to when I was in school with Sennheiser, I
go back to that time without realizing it,
and the emotions I felt at that time
come alive. I feel it The letters I wrote and erased over
and over under the candlelight, the small and soft touch
of that friend and the thin, delicate rose scent of hair that was blown away
by the wind. Even the feeling of happiness that makes
you feel like you have everything in the world, and
then you find yourself feeling embarrassed with a smile on your face
without realizing it. For me, the Sennheiser Momentum series is not just a
sound device, but a healing machine that reminds me of the
past as happy memories. I would like
to say that this is the sound quality of the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 that I felt.
Of course, this was the inspiration I got after trying
it out, but the sound quality evaluation
of the Momentum True Wireless 3 has been evaluated in 'WHAT HIFI', which has been publishing
the world's most prestigious sound magazine since 1976. It was
praised as a wireless earphone and received
5 Start, the highest rating that is difficult to achieve with a wireless earphone.
But it doesn't end here.
Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 goes beyond the best
sound quality and anyone can be inspired
by music, because the game is completely different when combined with Sennheiser's
newly upgraded smart control app. Sennheiser's
Smart Control App is, in a nutshell, a
tool that fits the highest
quality sound to your ears just like a tailored suit.
The new app's UI has been changed to make it very intuitive to use.
If you look at the main screen, first of all, multi-pairing is
supported in the connection, and multi-point is scheduled to proceed
through a future update. The equalizer will be expanded from the existing three bands to
five bands, enabling a more customized sound setting for the user.
In addition, in the equalizer preset, you can enjoy music with six
presets set by Sound Taylor Sennheiser and save various personal settings.
The bass boost function that raises the bass
and the podcast function that
improves voice clarity can also be operated
with a single toggle button, and the function that I
personally like the most is the sound check function. This feature
is a tool that makes it easy to adjust the
equalizer so that when you play and run your favorite music, you can select the equalizer settings set
to three options A, B, and C three times, so that the music sounds
the best for you. no see. The tool
itself is a huge innovation for me. Of
course, many experts or those who are good at adjusting equalizers might think
that this is not a big deal.
However, among those watching this video, if
you like golf, most drivers today
are aware of the ability to adjust the
weight and shaft to set the trajectory and
quality of the shot so that the user can easily
use it as desired. will be This function started
with the first function that allows golfers to
select pitches by directly changing the four weights on
the R7 driver head released
by TaylorMade in 2004. It's easy and fun to speak.
Just as the sound check function completely
changed the game in the golf equipment industry with a weight setting of just a few grams,
I feel that it is a very simple yet powerful tool that makes it
easy for anyone to find a sound
that suits them well. Because each person has a different
set of music that can be inspired by and the right settings for it.
In addition to this, it is possible to adjust the volume of listening
to external sounds, adjust the adaptive
noise canceling function, and add a sound zone setting function
that automatically changes the sound settings according
to the moving area. Looking back on all these features, I can feel Sennheiser's
meaningful solution to go beyond the best
sound quality in the intensifying competition for wireless earphones
and make it easy for anyone to be inspired by their favorite music.
Those of you who have been buying Momentum True
Wireless 3 for a long
time may have already purchased it, but if you are watching this
video and haven't made a purchase yet, I think you should
hurry a little. If you purchase from the Sennheiser website, you
are given a 3-year warranty during
that time, but if you purchase from August 1, 2022, the same 2-year warranty
applies to other countries.
The price of Momentum True Wireless 3 is 349,000 won, which
is 50,000 won lower than its predecessor. Although
the performance has improved dramatically, the price has
gone down. We recommend that only
those who can afford it, consider purchasing
it. This year is also a year of momentum.
The Momentum True Wireless 4 headphones with a
completely new design, 60 hours of battery
life and adaptive
noise cancellation are also scheduled to be released in August this year.
Whatever choice you make this year, if you
purchase the Momentum series,
you will be inspired to listen to music with the
best-fitting sound quality among existing wireless earphones and headphones.
Thank you for watching.
