The Momentum True Wireless ear buds provide some very nice audio quality while listening to music. Variable low, mid and high ranges come in clear and the bass has some nice kick to it. Also, I really like how when you take a earbud out they automatically turn on and pair up to your phone, as well as when placed back into the case they automatically turn off. They turn on and sync up super fast which is really nice!
Unfortunately, I have discovered an issue that is disappointing. I don't believe this issue is a deal breaker for most, but is making me contemplate returning. The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless ear buds are suppose to have a feature that "ensures lag-free audio and perfect synchronization between left and right earbuds (NFMI)." Audio is absolutely synced up between left and right earbuds, no problem there. But, I did not necessarily notice during my 48 hour hands on but after a few more days of experience it is clear that these earbuds DO NOT offer true "lag-free audio."
While testing out a few games on my iPhone XS Max while using my new wireless earbuds, there is a definitive audio lag. I may be wrong with exact times, but while gaming the the audio is roughly off between .75 seconds to at most 1.25 seconds. This was a similar issue I experienced with the Bose SoundSport Free Truly Wireless earbuds (though I feel they had slightly worse audio lag) and ultimately made me return them.
Luckily, while watching videos audio does seem to sync up NEARLY spot on, and I do not find is enough of an issue to worry about. I spent some time streaming videos using the Netflix App as well as videos downloaded directly to my phone and again audio sounds nearly spot on. I am not ready to confidently say they are 100% audio lag free while watching/streaming videos, they get the job done.
I have not spent any time testing out making and receiving calls with them yet. I really do like these earbuds, and will continue to test/tinker/trouble shoot to see if the audio lag is a "isolated issue" with me, but I have to retract my 5 star rating and bring it down to a solid 4 out of 5 stars. I have a hard time calling these earbuds a "must buy" if they do not feature lag-free audio.
