Updated 4/4/19
Hate to change this to 1 stars from 2. Got the 2nd unit and seems worse. Sound is still great IMO but I use it on a 30 minute train ride to work in the morning, put it back in the case and make sure that it disconnects from my Bluetooth on the phone. By the time I'm leaving for work, case is dead (no lights when pressing the button). Buds are still at 80-90% charged but when I put it back in the case, it will not disconnect with my Bluetooth unless I turn my Bluetooth off. This is due to the case being drained. Weird part is I charge the case for 15-20 min and it lights up green (fully charged). Just really buggy but not dependable for full day of use. I wish I decided to return sooner as now it is past that stage. I'll contact Senn to see for a replacement but I'm sure I'd have to pay for shipping.
Updated review 1/22/19:
Used this again and as I pressed the button on the case, no light. I then played music on my phone while the earbuds were still in the case and can hear the music playing. Double checked to make sure buds are positioned correctly (i.e. magnetic connection) and checked my phone Bluetooth and buds showing as still connected. Same with the app.
Hate that these sound great! Sending back to Amazon for replacement hoping the unit I got was bad. IF this replacement has the same issues, I'll stick with the Master and Dynamics MW07s even though they have much less features.
Original Review:
Background, I have the Jabra Elite 65T, Master and Dynamic MW07, and now this.
I have to say with sound quality, this and the M&D MW07, blow all the competition. Main reason I don't use the MW07s much is due to the other features the Senns have like transparent hearing. The touch controls needs some getting used to as I still prefer traditional buttons like the Jabras and MW07. The Senns also have a great EQ interface I really like.
Here's where other users may benefit for this battery tidbit as I wish I knew.
I haven't used (or kept it plugged into a charger) the Senns in 6 days and when I put it on, the battery for both buds were under 40% (left bud at 15%). I did charge them both fully prior to disconnecting 6 days ago. I also did notice that when I put them in the case, and they "clicked" magnetically showing proper storage, the Bluetooth on my iPhone showed that it was still connected. I played music and I can still hear it while it was in the case. Removed it and stopped playing.
I called the tech support for Sennheiser and they told me this is an issue they are starting to hear about more and they have some possible solutions (before I even return for warranty or refund).
The battery will go into "Trickle charge" to keep it topped off. What this means is that if full and not used (and unplugged) for 7 days, it will drain. I wish I knew this before my train ride as my battery died. Here are the tips I received from Sennheiser and hope it helps the other users/potential here. Wish there was a longer hibernation/standby life cycle.
"When the Momentum True Wireless earbuds are placed into the case, they go into a low power stand by state, and the case provides a trickle charge to keep the battery topped off. This way, they will power on and connect quickly when removed from the case. Starting with a fully charged case and headphone, it should take 7 days of standby time for the case and earbuds to completely drain.
If you start with full battery charge in the case and earbuds, and both go flat in 1-3 days, try the following-
1- Clean the charging contacts on the earbuds and charging case with a pencil eraser
2- Connect the charging case to a standard USB power supply (5V / >500mA)
3- Start the Smart Control App and connect the Momentum True Wireless to the device
4- Put the ear buds into the charging case ensuring proper orientation and solid contact. This disconnects the Smart Control App, and the app will switch to "re-connect" (search) mode. If this does not happen, you will want to send the unit in under warranty.
5- Press the button on the charging case to switch on the charging LED. The LED will pulsate to indicate charging.
6- Charge the case for at least 1.5 hours to ensure that they are fully charged. The Green LED will come on when fully charged.
7- Remove the headphones from the case, and keeping them within 30 cm of each other, make sure the control app recognizes the headset.
8- Remove the USB charge cable from the case, and put the headphones back into the case, confirming that the connection to the app ceases. We will now test the discharge rate.
9- Leave the headphones undisturbed for 48 hours. After 48 hours, press the button on the case- it should light up green.
10- Remove the headphones from the case, and press the button on the case. It should light up green.
11- Check the earbud battery level in the Control app. Both should be at or above 80%. If they are below that, then you will want to send them in under warranty.
The majority of Sennheiser products have a two year warranty from original date of purchase. "
All in all, I will continue to monitor this great wireless buds as the sound it so great, and the shortcomings, I can hopefully live with.
