Theres' a level of design and detail on the Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear headphones that is sorely missing in a lot of competing generic looking earbud-type models. It is easy to miss out on the details, but the lightweight steel construction and impressive design do make these in-ear headphones more...

The Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear is definitely one of the best in-ear headphones on the market. Both the wearing comfort and the sound leave nothing to be desired, and the puristic, elegant design will make you rave. The workmanship and the functions are simply the icing on the cake.

Sound quality is great, these buds can go for at least three hours outside their case, and come with one of the best-designed charging cases on the market. They're not the cheapest around though - which might make their prolific competition equally or more appealing.

Great sound with app-based EQ adjustment to tailor; Sensible design and splash-resistance; AptX and Bluetooth 5.0; Included case is portable and charges buds quickly

Battery life isn't the best on the market (around 3hrs per charge with two more from the case); Pretty pricey all considered; Touch controls take time to get used to

Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless are the best-sounding true wireless earphones we've tested to date, but you'll have to pay a premium for that better sound.

The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless headphones fit comfortably and sound excellent, and their wireless performance was solid with minimal dropouts; They work very well for making calls, have touch controls, and their battery-charging case charges via USB-C (cable included).

The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless headphones are pricey, and they're a bit larger than Jabra's Elite 65t buds; Battery life isn't quite as good as what you get with certain competing models, and not everybody will love the touch controls.

There are only a few truly wireless earphones worth buying right now and Sennheiser's Momentum True Wireless are one of them. At $300 (£279, AU$499), they're more expensive than Apple AirPods, Jabra's Elite 65t and Elite Active 65t and Bose SoundSport Free. But they sounds superior to those models with better bass and cleaner, more detailed sound. They also feature very good performance for making calls and offer a generally comfortable fit, though they're bigger than the Jabras and stick out of your ears a little more.

The Sennheiser Momentum In-ear wireless is a testament to the fact that some designs become popular enough to find appeal across brands. The Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear is almost a replica of the LG Tone Infinium, a design that has gradually become popular with a cross section of users from joggers...

The Momentum in-ear earphones offer great performance for everyday use. You can confidently say that these are probably the first earphones that come with treble boosting while also delivering great bass response.

Vibrant mids Bright highs Strong cables that are tangle-free Metallic ear pieces Very low distortion even at high volume Good looking (Swaggy) design Wonderful; compact carry case with enough space to store 2 more earphones

A little bit pricey Would expect an additional pair of ear tips Some music tracks can sound too bright

I bought these when my Klipsch S4i started dying (volume is cutting out on the left channel). Fair enough – 7+ years is a long service life for a pair of inexpensive earbuds. My first priority was compatibility with my 3G iPod Shuffle, which needs a 3-button remote to operate.

Fluid; musical sound; build quality

Flat soundstage; uncomfortable ear tips

These Sennheisers are the first in-ear model to join the Momentum series, which has helped to establish the company as a top choice for people after stylish headphones with better sound quality than Beats.

Powerful low-register bass; Good detail; Nice mid-range tone; Separate iOS and Android versions available

Recessed mids

Excellent headphones with natural sound across the range. So light and fitting that you forget you are wearing them. Easy to sync and easy to use controls on the neckband. One slight niggle is that in busy areas with heavily competing Wi-Fi and other Bluetooth signals the music can get a bit jumpy.
