It redefines your premium headphone experience by reproducing the balanced depth and precision of studio-quality audio.

The HearWiki takeAI-condensed

The Sennheiser MOMENTUM 3 Wireless are over-ear headphones with a premium retro look, hybrid active noise cancellation, and a balanced, detailed sound signature. They offer solid wireless features like aptX Low Latency and multipoint, though their battery life is modest and the price can be steep for what you get.

What works

  • Balanced, detailed sound quality
  • Effective hybrid ANC and transparency mode
  • Comfortable fit with premium materials
  • Supports aptX Low Latency and multipoint
  • Customizable EQ via app

What doesn't

  • Battery life is below average, especially with ANC on
  • Premium price tag
  • Touch controls and app can be finicky
  • Not fully water-resistant (IPX4 only)

Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless Review

Joshua Valour108K viewsJan 2021

The reviewer finds the Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless headphones to be reasonably built and comfortable, but considers them overpriced at $350 due to a bass-heavy, V-shaped sound signature that requires EQ adjustments to sound decent. They note the noise cancellation and pass-through audio are passable but not class-leading, and conclude that while the headphones may appeal to those prioritizing style and basic features, they don't compete well on sound quality with alternatives like the Drop Panda or Sony XM4.

The reviewer finds the Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless headphones to have excellent sound quality with clear mids and highs and controlled bass, but notes comfort issues with the stiff headband and a bulky, less protective case.
