Is the Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless worth the upgrade from the Apple AirPods Pro 3?
Verdict
Downgrade
The Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless actually scores 26.2 points below the Apple AirPods Pro 3, so on aggregate review consensus this is a step backwards. It loses ground on battery (7.3 to 5.0) and value (8.3 to 6.5). On paper: codecs SBC, AAC to SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX Low Latency. Worth checking: battery life goes 8 h to 4 h and active noise cancelling goes Yes to No. One caution: this steps down a line tier (AirPods Pro 3 to MOMENTUM True Wireless), and base models usually trade away tier features - check the codec and ANC rows above before trusting the score gap alone. The two sit at effectively the same price. Only worth it if a specific feature above matters more to you than overall quality does.
