The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 offers better overall sound quality and has higher scores for gaming and watching TV compared to the True Wireless 2. Both have similar comfort and active noise canceling abilities, but the True Wireless 3 has improved microphone quality and comes with silicone fins for a more secure fit. If a microphone and audio customization through an app are important for you, the True Wireless 3 is the better choice as it maintains these features with an edge in sound quality for a slightly lower price. However, if battery life and the inclusion of wireless charging are decision-making factors for you, note that both models offer similar battery performance and lack wireless charging abilities.

What HiFi? | November 2022
"They are more comfortable and nicer to use than their predecessors, battery life is better and noise-cancelling is now included as part of the package. They’re easy to live with and you could happily listen to them for hours on end without reaching for the pause button. If your budget allows, your ears will be handsomely rewarded."
