Reviewers agree the Momentum True Wireless 3 delivers excellent sound quality with improved noise cancellation and a smaller design, though fit remains finicky and sound tuning polarizes audiophiles.
Where reviewers disagree: Sound profile divides opinion: some praise the natural balance and clarity while one reviewer finds the upper mids strained and vocals lacking power; Reviewers disagree on value at the asking price; some consider them competitive while others believe they fall short against Sony and Bose alternatives; Transparency mode quality varies in assessment from natural-sounding to merely passable with wind noise issues
Reviewers splitWhat they praise
- Sound quality ranks among the best for wireless earbuds with detailed, natural, wide soundstage and good instrument separation
- Active noise cancellation improved substantially over the previous model with adaptive behavior
- Smaller, more compact design than predecessor fits a wider range of ears
- Strong battery life around seven to eight hours with reliable long-term performance
- IPX4 water resistance handles sweat and rain without issue
What they knock
- Fit requires trial and error with tips and fins; seal is tricky to achieve and earbuds need frequent readjustment during activity
- Case remains too large and bulky for pockets by current standards
- Significant body-borne noise during running makes them unsuitable for that activity
- Sound tuning has a V-shaped signature that requires EQ adjustment for many listeners
