Soundtage more wider, more ez to customize eq for your taste. Sound detail , lil more bass than mtw4 but not over bass . Mid and treble good. If you dont have mtw 4 then should buy it. But if you want to upgrade from mtw 4 to it i can say not too much wow.

Sennheiser has long been known as a manufacturer of high quality audio products. My experience with Sennheiser goes back to the HD414 headphones I purchased in the 1970s, so I had much anticipation to try a modern product from them. The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 5 earbuds are made to compete in a crowded marketplace with many products to choose from, and at many different price points. The Momentum 5 is positioned at the upper end of the spectrum with an MSRP of $299.95. For this price, you get the earbuds in a charging case, four pair of different-sized, silicone ear tips, an 18-inch USB-C to USB-C charging cable, a pry tool for changing batteries, and hard-copy documentation. While a charging adapter is not included (an adapter with 5 watts of output is recommended), the Momentum 5 is available in five different colors compared to many competitors that offer a choice of exactly one color. Wireless earbuds can be hit or miss for a lot of people in two important areas, one being sound quality or sound signature as everyone has different preferences and varying hearing abilities, and the other being the fit of the bud in the ear and the ability for the device to remain in place during activity. At this price you expect and you do receive a high-quality product in which the sound quality can be tailored in many different ways via Sennheiser’s “Smart Control Plus” app for your phone. Besides having Sennheiser’s predetermined sound EQ curves available, there is also an eight-band graphic equalizer option, or a guided walk-through process called “Sound Check” which I found to be a rather unique way to custom tailor your sound, and to make adjustments to that customization. While the Momentum True Wireless 5 will work out of the box, much is left on the table without using Sennheiser’s app. Options such as being able to listen to Dolby Atmos content, setting “Sound Zones” which allows you to change sound settings automatically based on geographic location such as home, school, and work, the ability to customize what functions your finger taps on the buds control, and offering the ability to test the fit of the different ear tips in your creator-given listening appendages (ears). There is another, separate Sennheiser app that uses the Momentum 5 to test your hearing. Since I have a moderate hearing loss, I am always on the lookout for products to help me function in my day-to-day activities. Earbuds are about the only way I can still enjoy music (hearing aids leave a lot to be desired when it comes to music), and I use earbuds almost exclusively for phone conversations. I have had experience with a number of different wireless earbuds (brands and models of a brand), and I find these Sennheisers to be not quite as loud as other brands when used at the same volume setting on my smartphone. For people with normal hearing, this should not pose any issues. I find that I prefer to use aftermarket, silicone “wings” or “fins” that slip onto earbuds to help them stay in my ears when they are available for a particular earbud product. In my searching, I did not find any of these currently available for the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 5 at this time. In my ears, I found the Momentum 5 to stay in place better than some other manufacturer’s designs and they were not as secure as buds that were wearing silicone wings. For users that are able to keep a product for long periods of time (without losing or breaking it), the big downfall of most wireless earbuds is that the batteries in the buds get old and no longer hold a charge for very long. We have a few sets of earbuds in the house where one bud goes dead when the other one still has 50 to 60 percent power remaining. Those of us in that group should rejoice as Sennheiser has introduced a product where the user can replace the rechargeable batteries in both the earbuds and in the charging case. Besides the included “battery replacement tool”, you will need a #000 Phillips screwdriver to replace the batteries in the buds, and a #0 Phillips screwdriver to replace the battery (one) in the charging case. Normally I wouldn’t take apart a brand new device, but I wanted to see just how hard this was to accomplish. It wasn’t hard at all, and one nice thing I noticed is that the VERY small screws in the earbuds are captive and do not come all the way out of the case half making it impossible to lose them. Note that the single, larger screw in the charging case does separate completely from the cover and can be lost. When I compare the performance and design of the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 5 to other products of a similar price, I find them to be as good as, or better than their competitors. Choice is always a good thing, and Sennheiser gives us yet another option in the high-end wireless earbud market.

This is my first pair ever of Sennheiser headphones ever and so far with these AMC earbuds I must say I'm impressed. I like the navy blue color as well as the multiple included ear tips that actually fit my ear snugly and keep these from falling out. Most earbuds for me don't have a great fitting ear tip no matter which one I switch to or try they're either too big or too small for my ear canal causing discomfort and pain within 30 minutes or less with most other brands. Battery life is great with both the earbuds as well as the case, I like how you can tailor the sound via the app to your liking. I would rank these right up there with any other high-end earbuds with all the included features from the steady connection of Bluetooth to ANC to being able to use Google Assistant for phone calls or automations around the house or the possibilities are pretty much endless with these ear buds. These are a larger design which if you have smaller ears might be slightly uncomfortable or a tad big for you since they've got so many built-in features but for my ears which I would say are average size I don't find them uncomfortable unless you try to lay down on a pillow on your side.

The Momentum True Wireless 5 earbuds are great! the case is elegant with the denim look with a wonderful battry time, it charges the earbuds like 3 times. connection to multiple devices at the same time is possible thanks to Bluetooth 6.0 sound quality is great with very high resolution highs, mid's and low's. call quality is very clear. Noise cancelling is superior and can stop it with a tap on the buds, I can also raise and reduce volume by swiping on the buds. it takes a couple times to get used to it but its good. I used them for running and while strength training, the didn't slip out. they did fine with sweat as well. I got about 38 hours of play out of a full charge and am extremely happy with them. the case isn't too think and fits in pants front pocket easily. the case is alo good quality. the app is easy to use and very responsive. it comes with different ear fitment sets ( 4 sets total). works with Dolby Atmos enabled content. noise cancellation and transparency modes are really really good.

The case is relatively light and slim, and it easily fit inside both my dressy work pants as well as my athletic fit jeans. I like that the case is not glossy but has a matte finish. Despite that, oil from my fingers did cause smudges and after some accumulation, looked a bit unsightly. The smudges come off easily, however, so it’s not a big deal. The earbuds look a bit chunky but they’re fortunately light and comfortable to wear. It took my body a few days of daily usage for acclimation before the initial earache and soreness went away. The tap and tap-and-hold features worked well, and the controls were snappy and non-frustrating. There is a total of four pairs of ear tips included, and I was comfortable using the preinstalled medium-size ones. In order to maximize both passive noise cancellation and active noise cancellation, it’s important that after you insert the buds into your ear, you rotate it and wiggle it around to ensure a good seal. Popping the earbuds in and out of the case is an accurate and simple affair thanks to the grooves inside the case as well as the strong magnets. I like that the batteries for both the earbuds and the charging case are user-replaceable, which should extend the life of the product greatly. For the earbuds, the battery replacement tool is included in the box, and the battery part number is BA 501 (800048). For the case, you’ll need a PH 000 screwdriver, and the battery part number is BA 502 (800047). I’ve used both thin, stem-like earbuds as well as chunky, roundish earbuds like the TW5, and I’m okay with both designs. The TW5 stayed put securely inside my ears during my jogs and runs, and I never felt nervous about losing them. Other pluses for the TW5 are that it’s Bluetooth 6.0-based (better future proofing), support for lossless audio codec, IP54 durability, and support for Dolby Atmos spatial audio. In order to perform firmware updates and select your preferred EQ settings (or to create your custom EQ profile), you’ll have to use the SmartControlPlus app, and it fortunately, is intuitively laid out, snappy, and easy to use. There was a firmware update waiting for me out of the box, and it didn’t take unusually long to update. I experienced no weird glitches or crashes, and the app was just a pleasure to use. === Audio & Call Performance === The TW5 impressed with its excellent sound quality. The buds handled all the genres of music I listen to on a daily basis very well and accurately – rock, alternative, pop, oldies, hip hop, rap, K-pop, heavy metal. The soundstage is wide and great, the little details are present that lesser buds don’t even showcase, and the vocals are crisp and clear. The bass is pretty good, too, so hip hop and rap lovers should be very satisfied. My phone call experience on the TW5 has been very positive as well. My callers reported my voice as sounding clear, rich, and life-like, and the anti-wind noise cancellation worked well, which is very appreciated since I sometimes take phone calls during my runs and bike rides as well as during open-window car rides. My only gripe with the TW5 is the somewhat lackluster passive and active noise cancellation features. Although I chose the correctly sized tips for my ears, the buds don’t seal as well as some of my other earbuds, so more noise gets through passively. Even with ANC turned on, I noticed that the TW5 cannot eliminate noise – especially that of people talking near me – very well. I’ve been using the TW5 at work, and my super-loud coworker sitting to my right behind a short cubicle wall can still be heard when she’s on the phone. If my other premium ANC earbuds can block 100% of her voice, the TW5 blocks about 85%. That’s not bad but it’s not super fantastic either. At this price point, I expected a better ANC experience. === Battery life === There is nothing to complain about when it comes to battery endurance. With ANC toggled on, the buds last 5 to 6 hours, and without ANC, can easily last about 10 to 12 hours. The buds recharge pretty quickly inside the case, the case gets charged up pretty quickly too. === Is it worth the coin? === Despite some of its shortcomings, like the below premium-level ANC performance, I feel the TW5 are worth the coin. It’s due to several things, such as its excellent audio fidelity and quality, great bass, user replaceable batteries that greatly extend its functional lifespan, the snappy and intuitive mobile app, good battery stamina, and easy portability. I would recommend these to my friends and family, and I rate them a solid 4.5 Stars.
