The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2: A Premium Earbud Experience

As I'm here with a new pair of premium true wireless earbuds, these are the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2. They just maybe be the best new to elysee earbuds on the market today, like the original version of these. These cost $300, which is not an inexpensive price tag, but considering the AirPods Pro cost $250, and you do get more for your money than you did with the originals.

Sanitizer has made some upgrades that are noticeable. You get active noise-cancelling, similar to what's found in the AirPods Pro. I didn't think they were better than the AirPods Pro offered noise cancelling, but they're certainly in the same ballpark. The battery life for the original earbuds was around 4 hours, while these offer up to 7 hours of battery life. And if that's not enough, you get an extra three charges from the battery case, bringing the total battery life to 28 hours.

The other big improvement is in the call quality or headset performance. There's an added mic for your voice, a beep, and a couple of beamforming mics as well as one for active noise-cancelling. What I noticed when I was out on the streets of New York City is that the noise reduction is significantly better with these than the originals. People can hear you better even in noisy environments.

These earbuds do look very similar to the originals, but Sennheiser says it has made them slightly smaller. They're 2 millimeters smaller, which does help with the fit. The originals were a bit big, and now these are slightly more comfortable, and you can wear them for longer periods without getting any sort of pain. However, I couldn't say that these will fit everyone's ears equally well. I was able to get a tight seal with the largest ear tips.

Sennheiser has not added wireless charging to these earbuds. They don't charge wirelessly, but there is a USB C charging port that charges quickly. They also have a quick charge feature.

Now, let's talk about sound quality. These really are among the best sounding true wireless earbuds out there right now, if not the best. The originals had the same 7 millimeter dynamic drivers as these, but nothing seems to have changed in terms of sound quality. They do sound very similar to the originals, which is a good thing because it means that they still deliver a great listening experience.

However, when compared to other models like the Sony WF 1000 X mark 3, I would say that these do sound a little bit better than those. You also have the Master & Dynamic MW oh seven plus, which sounds even better and fits slightly better. These are very good earbuds with active noise-cancelling.

The only problem of course is that they do cost $300, which is not an inexpensive price tag. But if you're in the market for a high-end model like the AirPods Pro or these, I would say that the AirBuz Pro are slightly more comfortable and are lighter. These do sound significantly better than both models.

In conclusion, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 is a top-notch sounding true wireless earbud with active noise-cancelling. Sennheiser has made improvements particularly to the call quality, and the battery life is even longer than before. While they are not the cheapest option available in the market, they offer great sound quality and convenience.
