Ratings by Category
Battery Life:5.0
The Battery Life rating is based on hours of typical, actual usage.
Gaming:4.7
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 are excellent for gaming due to their low latency feature, ensuring a minimal delay between the on-screen action and the sound, and integrated high-quality microphones for clear voice communication. However, they are wireless only, which could pose a connection stability concern compared to wired options.
TV & Video:4.6
This score evaluates the earbuds or headphones when used to watch videos, movies and TV. In the case of wireless products, it takes into account latency - the perceived delay between the action on screen and the sounds playing in your ears. The score also considers soundstage quality, whether they have a virtual surround feature, and overall comfort.
It’s important to note that the device paired with the earbuds heavily influences their performance in regards to latency or delay.
Air Travel:4.6
This score evaluates the product for use on airplanes and other similar kinds of travel. It takes into account noise reduction and portability, including case shape, case size, and weight. It also incorporates the battery life of the product, long-haul comfort, noise reduction (both active and passive), and sound quality. We generally consider wireless products to be more suitable for air travel.
Podcasts & Audiobooks:4.4
This score evaluates the product when used solely to listen to podcasts or audiobooks. It takes into account sound quality and sound signature, to be able to keep voices clear and intelligible. It also considers battery life, when available, and comfort.
Music:4.1
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 provides very good overall sound quality which ensures an enjoyable listening experience for various music genres. The good soundstage and imaging score indicates a more realistic and immersive representation of where instruments and voices are positioned in space while listening.
Portability:4.0
The Portability score is based on an overall assessment that includes volume and maximum dimension of the product (and case, if relevant), and its weight. Special features like foldability for headphones are also taken into account.
Calls:3.8
This evaluates the product when used solely to make and receive calls. It takes into account how well the products are able to clearly reproduce the human voice, the quality of the integrated microphones and the battery life, when available, to be able to use them for longer sessions or conferences.
Exercise:3.6
This score evaluates the product when used for exercise and physical activity. It mainly takes into account comfort, whether or not the products are sweatproof and how secure are the earbuds or headphones while wearing them. We also consider products with wireless capabilities to be more suitable for this particular scenario
