The Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 2 is one of the best wireless earphones on the market today. Sennheiser has been making audio products for 75 years and this is the second installment of their wireless earbuds. Often compared to Apple’s Airpods, Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 2 offers superior audio quality. When put through the paces, it had dynamic sound on all music and podcasts played with very few interruptions. And the buds are comfortable in the ear. Plus, they offer replacement earbud tips to suit your needs.
These earbuds, although not technically sports earphones, are sweat-resistant and splash proof, and they are stylish with a case that charges the earbuds via USB-C. The battery lasts around four hours which is more than most on the market. They come in black or white and they have volume controls on the earbuds themselves using the default tap-and-hold gesture.
Pairing them with a smartphone was simple, thanks to support for the latest wireless streaming standard, Bluetooth 5.1. The Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 2 also has an impressive build quality. They’re made of dense plastic and have sleek metal surfaces that also double as touch-sensitive controls.
The app available in the Google Playstore or Apple App Store is a necessary companion for this product. Straight out of the box, the call quality for a phone call was poor but when adjusting the settings in the app, it improves. Namely, the addition of active noise-canceling of this model is a key and premium feature.
For $250, it is not affordable to everyone but if you are in the market for a reliable and great sounding wireless earbud, we recommend the Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 2. For more information, visit en-us.sennheiser.com/momentumtrue wireless-2.
