These are the best true wireless earphones package till date. Had Sonys Wf-1000xm3 first which sounded amazing but had to sell them because of their huge case size and laughable call quality. Then moved on to Apples airpods which had the perfect case size and the best call quality but their sound quality left more to be desired. Finally pre-ordered these and got them in the mail today.I must admit that sennheiser has nailed the overall package. Case size is good, even though not as small as APP. Sound quality is on par with sonys WF if not better. Call quality is also very acceptable.Overall extremely satisfied with these and I can finally feel that these are going to stay with me for a very long time.

I ended up returning these due to connection issues with my S10 and Switch Lite via a Genki adapter.When they did work, fit was comfortable with good isolation (much more comfortable than the MTW1). Sound quality is very average, considering the price, and more in the league of a <£100 earbuds like the e11c. Bass is limited, even with a good seal, and sound stage is narrow with poor instrument separation. Sound signature is very similar to the MTW1, and a far cry from something like the se425.The other huge issue for me was lag. The MTW1 had aptx-ll, which tamed lag to the point they were usable across the board. The MTW2 only has aac and regular aptx. Whilst this isn't necessarily a deal breaker, and isn't something you'll notice if your video app delays sound, the MTW2 iseeffectively unusable for games.By far the biggest problem was the frequent dropouts I had with both devices I tested with. Given that I'm currently testing in lockdown conditions, this was around the house and on short walks. My commute takes me through King's Cross Station, which can be very challenging for bluetooth connections given the sheer number of competing devices, so these would suffer heavily there. This may be something that could addressed though a firmware update, but my experience with the MTW1 was that firmware updates few and rarely address significant issues.If you're looking for an upgrade from the MTW1 and don't play games, these offer improved comfort and a better charging solution (the battery drain issues appear fixed). This is balanced against connection issues and heavy lag. If you're after an audiophile grade wireless earbud suitable for general use, I'd suggest looking elsewhere (I ended up going with Shure's true wireless adapter).

I was so excited when Sennheiser announced the MTW 2 few weeks ago, having been a fan of the brand for more than 10 years and having owned the 1st Gen for about a year.Just received my pair today and so far I really like them.They are smaller than the previous version including the case. Its not a huge difference but youll still notice it. The previous pair used to hurt my ears after a while (1h or so) so Im hoping this smaller design will help, time will tell. First impressions so far, they are comfier than the original version.Sound-wise, they are excellent. Ive seen some videos where people suggest these sound different. I dont think so. I think they might have changed the EQ setting by default because it felt like it was lacking bass a little but I tweaked it differently on the app than the 1st Gen and still managed to achieve the exact same sound. Ive spent some time comparing the sound between the 2 and I love the 2nd Gen as much as the 1st Gen and Im a musician so Im really picky when it comes to sound.Call quality has been greatly improved, I think mainly due to the new added microphones.One feature I really like, surprisingly not mentioned on this page is Sidetone. It gives you the ability to hear your voice during a call. Ive tested it and love it, so much better than the old version.The possibility the customise controls is one of the reasons why I decided to buy this new version. Im one of these guys that can listen to a song on repeat so much if I really like it. So having to tap 3 times to play the previous song on the old version used to drive me mad. It wouldnt work 50% of the time. Ive now set it on 2 taps on the right earbud and it works like charm. Shame the controls still take about 2 seconds to initiate. I would have liked that to be improved on the new version.Active Noise Cancellation is a great addition too, I think its good in loud environments but for people like me that listen to music quite loud (70-90%) its less useful. Im going to leave it turned off as it can drain the battery faster and turn it on only if I need it.One disappointment however, is the time it takes for these to connect to my phone. They take about twice the time than 1st Gen to connect, that’s not good at all. I really hope it will be fixed in the next patches because at this price you should only get more not less.Overall really please with these. Im glad I bought them even if they are very expensive. It might be worth the upgrade for some or not but I still think these are a great improvement compared to 1st Gen.Pros:- Sound as good as 1st Gen- Smaller size- Customisable controls- Better call quality- Sidetone feature- Longer battery life / no more draining in charging case- Active Noise Cancellation (good in loud environment)Cons:- Takes longer than 1st Gen to connect (1st Gen: 1-3 sec / 2nd Gen: 4-7 sec)- They still hurt after some time- Still a delay of 2 seconds to trigger each control- Still cant connect to multiple devices at the same time- Would have been nice to include case battery percentage in the app- No wireless chargingEDIT 17/04/20: Unfortunately they still hurt like 1st Gen after about 1h. I find that if you twist them up a little bit when it’s sore it does help. I still love the sound though and I’m convinced that the sound remains the same or even better than 1st Gen providing you tweak the EQ a bit. It needs adding more bass than the previous version One thing I’ve also noticed is, despite the fact that you can’t pair multiple devices at the same time, the earbuds do remember the last device they were connected to. Good thing if like me you often switch from your work computer / phone. No need to repair every time either, just disconnect from the device and connect to the other one. I haven’t experienced a single disconnection, just some very short cut-off but very rarely and I’ve been walking around the flat no problem.

Utter rubbish. First, the audio quality is not £100 worth better than the jabras, or £180 worth better than the Cambridge audios. Secondly the touch sensitive part is a nuisance when putting into your ear. And THIRDLY they wont pair properly with my 18 math old Sony Bravia smart TV because sennheiser have not built in backward compatibility and by the admission of their own technical support, are not really designed for use with TVs, they are more for phones and music devices. DUH. For £300 give or take, and they cant be bothered to make them work properly with a good quality TV? No thanks, sent back after wasting two hours of my life talking to tech support.

Honestly I wanted to like these so much, I was anticipating then coming out for so long. I’ll just go over the main points real quick:Sound – Amazing, honestly really impressive, likely a massive upgrade to whatever you use right now (in-ear), there is a mass of separation and space, crisp clarity and depth, feels incredible. You can pump the music quite loud and it doesn’t get overpowering or imbalance anything (sometimes I find treble gets harsh when pushing up volumes, the default EQ keeps everything nicely balance at all volumes, great!).Active Noise Cancellation – So disclaimer, I have tried ANC in circumaural headphones (SONY WH-1000XM3) and the difference was astounding. I (among many other people on the r/sennheiser sub-reddit) am finding it *extremely* difficult to notice whether ANC is even on without having to look at the app to check if the toggle is on, we’re not sure if theres a manufacturing fault, but currently there is no stock for replacements so I’m just returning, might re-try them again down the line if I find out they get fixed!Transparent Heading – Not for me but you may like it, feels to forced and weird, wasn’t a fan, but this is definitely a personal preference thing so don’t take my word here.Comfort – Horrible, I purchased some foam tips to replace the rubber ones because I couldn’t get a good seal, the foam tips definitely get me an instant easy seal, but after about 30-45mins of listening they start to ache my ears, i started wearing them backwards so they don’t rest of my ear and they still ache after a while, confusing. (lots of people seem to like it, so maybe my ears are just bad! I personally use Bose Soundsport headphones for the gym currently, and I have a pair of 1More Triple Driver earphones, and used a few others and I’ve never experienced such discomfort from in-ears before…)Connection – This was iffy – I had issues with playback jittering (every 2-3 seconds it would dropout for half a second) on locally downloaded content, I had to factory reset the device to get it to start playing smoothly on my phone, and the laptop was still playing up. They might have Bluetooth 5.1 but they do not hold connection between rooms/more than 10 ft.Battery – My first run through got 4.5hours, and I believe I had ANC on, I’d re-run them through but I can’t seem to get them charging now? God I feel like I’m moaning a lot here! I’ll use them today and return them tomorrow so I’ll update this if I remember :)It pains me to be so critical of what could be a great pair of headphones, BUT if you don’t care for ANC and the fit/comfort is okay for you, you’ll love these!

Disappointed with these. Sound good enough but the difference between having ANC on and off is barely noticeable to the point where the only way to tell it’s on is by checking the app toggle. They refuse to pair with my laptop for longer than 10 seconds at a time and the response from Sennheiser product support was that they are only designed for use with phones and that to use with a laptop I should purchase a £50 Sennheiser bluetooth dongle. Connectivity in general is ok but breaks up over fairly short distances (maybe 15ft max) and if a partition wall blocks the signal. App sometimes doesn’t find the connection either. Fit is good and case is lovely but I’m typing this on my laptop using old wired headphones which doesn’t sit right after paying so much for these. I guess they could potentially sort some of this in software updates but not sure I can take a gamble so may return them..28/4 – Quick update following Sennheiser’s response to my review, I returned these and purchased the Sony equivalent which work perfectly with every appliance I have , sound good and the ANC actually works. Bottom line with the Sennheiser’s is that they are overpriced and might as well not have ANC as it does nothing.
