this is a new I am from Sennheiser called the momentum true Wireless the reason they are called true Wireless is that they no longer have like the Apple earpods wire connecting the two earpieces together like we see here in the Forza metallo wireless from v-moda previous generations had this kind of a setup to allow more battery power and antennas and that sort of thing in a dongle or some type of attachment with a wire now we're all moving towards what Apple kind of set the precedent at initially with a piece it just fits straight in your ear with nothing else connecting it that means in turn that there's less battery space which then equates to four hours of playback with this particular model now the case has a battery in it which also charges the headphones which gives it another 12 so there's a compromise there four hours compared to the motors design which can give you up to ten hours of playback time all by itself one other thing that's really cool though about this headphone is its functionality basically they have it set up to four with the touchpad at each side of your head which you can the right side control phone conversations and connecting to your assistant like Siri and then the left side you touch it once to play once to pause that kind of thing also broken up is the volume control touch the left side for volume down touch the right side for volume up so I'm kind of a slick apparation but one really interesting thing is one of the features that I'd like to see in all kinds of headphones that are coming out which is the ambient listen feature double tap the right side and you can hear your surroundings through the microphones that's not something you see in every headphone but they did choose to include it here another thing that I'm really impressed with this particular model is the weight the weight of the piece in your ears is probably one of the lightest that I've seen even with in your models customs that you tend to be a little bit weighty add that cable in there it's even more this particular headphone they pop right in and they are very light so you can kind of run around and do your everyday with them in and it's not too much of a drag on your person especially becomes important when you're it's into your ear canal just so a lot of weight on the ear canal can get irritating after a while so that's a big plus in my opinion they also fit really well into the overall ear and the weight is distributed really well they're so good fit is important and they kind of did a good job here in terms of the overall sound quality I found it to be pretty good for Wireless I have a caveat with that of course that if you're really into hi-fi high fidelity you're gonna get better results with Wired things the codecs are just not up to par right now with Wired sensibilities however if you're just gonna go on the go and listen in a noisy background these might be a great fit for you the main thing is that the background is not as black as wired so details don't jump out as much that being said practicality loud environments they're not too shabby they're seal well and like a typical I am to me the bass has a good splash a good punch to it when it's just bouncing around your ear canal it's not the most natural thing but if you like bass that's kind of there it has that nice punchy low-end it's on par with what we heard with the v-moda option in terms of amount of bass so it's not a ton it's not over at blown it's not too thin if you don't get the seal nailed down just so you can lose some of that on the low end however I did find that the V motifs had a little bit more treble to them overall both headphones sound pretty good and tend to follow the same signature that you find in a lot of IEMs around this price range not overinflated bass not too much craziness up top just a nice listenable kind of signature i also compared them to the very expensive ultimate ears live with their bluetooth dongle where I found that to have a little bit more overall smoothness even through bluetooth then both of these things combined but with their price point of over $2000 that's hardly a fair comparison but I did want to let you guys know what was out there in terms of possibilities and the flagship UE live actually had a little bit less trouble than both of the other headphones so if you're looking for something in your portable lineup of audio products the Sennheiser true Wireless I am is definitely something you should take a look at if you're looking for something on the go to complement your other hi-fi gear that you already have it captures Sennheiser's know-how of creating good sonic signatures given the materials they have and the price point to deal with that also has a real kind of homerun in the functionality I from a digital and just kind of interactive perspective there's a ton going on here they have great volume control it's it's comfortable its lightweight there's good design elements yes there's only four hours of rated battery life but you can get some more with the case so they're kind of overcoming these obstacles that you run into as you go along and as the entire kind of technology evolves these are a good place holder for what can be had in terms of right now you know they perfect know are they really good attempt at what they can do yeah I'd say yeah and even though it's just my opinion on this one I do think they look a little less awkward than the Apple stem sticking out of your ears they sit in your hair like a silver piece of jewelry a little less inconspicuous and that's so blazingly white and you know projective and true Wireless I am from Sennheiser runner about $300 and you can find them on their company website ascend Heiser and all the local retailers they sell in that so thanks for the listen guys have a good one
