- I never really thought I\'d be looking for a \"true wireless\" set of earbuds until I first heard about these late last year before they were released. They\'ve been on my radar since. They don\'t look absolutely ridiculous like the Apple Airpods (although I still would feel obnoxious walking around with them), and they promised high-end sound quality.-I couldn\'t sleep a few nights ago and caved, I went ahead and ordered these. In my sleepless thought-loops, I reasoned that these would be perfect for using in the office. I probably spent maybe 8 hours a week already in office with my trusty pair of Shure SRH 440 cans that I got in 2009 for $95. These would have the advantage over those as being way more comfortable, and way more subtle, likely with better sound... But what really sold me on this style of headphone is the external sound pass-through option. I loved the idea of being able to toggle outside sound as needed through just a simple tap-tap. And it sounds very natural, like you\'re not even wearing earbuds.For user context, I\'ve spent ~$100 here and there on earbuds like the 1MORE Triple Driver (which I\'ve sadly lost) that have come and faded from my regular use, those and the Shure cans mentioned above have served as my benchmark for what good headphone sound is. I took an impulsive leap ordering this $300 pair, but holy crap am I glad I did. The sound quality blows away what my over-ear Shure headphones can do, the difference is absolutely noticeable. I\'m constantly impressed by how great everything sounds on these, and like people say, am noticing parts of my favorite songs that I\'ve never noticed as much before. I\'ve been so inspired by it that I dug into my Spotify settings, discovered the \"Very High\" setting, and deleted a dozen apps from my phone to make room for redownloading my whole library. When wondering how a bluetooth headset could sound this good, I did some research on the AptX standard and got learnt. I checked to make sure my Pixel XL supported the standard, and heck yeah, it\'s got AptX HD! These Sennheisers only have AptX though. While that seems to be more than enough, why shouldn\'t this top-end product utilize the top-end standard?These are very comfortable to wear and very sturdy. I\'m using the small eartip set, and I\'m not worried at all about these falling out of my ears, despite their mild bulkiness. It sort of seems like it\'s shaped like a giant earplug -- I wouldn\'t ever think I looked \"cool\" walking about with these, same as any other headphones. With the sound passthrough though, I could probably just throw a beanie over them and no one may be the wiser!The case is more compact and convenient. The soft touch and look is nice, and it feels sturdy, all except for the hinge... It\'s not loose or anything, but I\'m skeptical about it\'s long-term durability. There is just a touch of side-to-side wiggle, and a little give if I try to open it too wide. Feels like I could potentially snap this backwards easily. Hopefully a replacement case isn\'t too expensive if I ever have a stupid moment or if it wears out in the very-long-term (I hope to use these for a GOOD LONG WHILE, considering the cost -- will update if necessary). I like the build otherwise, though -- very nice how the buds snap magnetically in their cubbies. There is one LED and a button that you can use to check the status of the charging case\'s battery, straightfoward once you learn it once. The battery life of the buds has been perfectly adequate for my use, and the fact that these have nowhere to go but back in their chargey-case means they\'re always ready for me. The right earbud draining faster than left is sort of weird but not a big deal and kind of makes sense considering in a way, these are basically two independent devices. when you have two completely independent devices. The USB-C charge port is on this case is another feature that absolutely sold me. My pixel charges with USB-C, as does my Galaxy Book 12 laptop, and I love having one cable that I can use alternately for my daily devices. These buds are an other added to that list.I\'ve seen some complaints about the touch controls, but personally I like them, at least I like the concept, especially. The combination of taps needed is easy to memorize as early as day 1, there\'s nothing really complicated about it. Timing the double-tap to activate pass-through sound is going to take me some practice though, I sometimes do it wrong and activate voice assistant instead (with 1 touch being registered). This is usually because I tapped too slow and deliberately. Two quick, solid-contact touches is the way to go and I\'m sure I will master this with more practice. All this would be a non-issue if I could switch the 1-touch/2-touch functions on the right earbud via the app. This seems like it should be possible with a software update, so fingers crossed!I really love these earbuds and I\'m so glad I pulled the trigger on them. It\'s been a long time since a new gadget has been so satisfying, or made me feel like I\'ve really ascended to the next era in an area of technology. For sure I\'m listening to my tunes even more than before, but more importantly, I\'ve been kind of pumped to actually go into the office where it makes sense for me to use these (vs my whole-home Chromecast Audio speaker setup). Great motivator to get into work!Despite all that, a negative I should mention.. This buds can\'t connect to multiple devices simultaneously. I\'m used to using a Plantronics Voyager 5200 bluetooth earpiece for my work calls, which coincidentally just happened to die a few days ago after just 15 months of service. That earpiece was able to connect to both my phone and laptop simultaneously, which was pretty handy and I took to take for granted. With these buds, I have to disconnect from one device before I can connect to the other. Not too big of a deal though, since I only ever used my buds in the office to listen to Spotify. Now I just stream from my phone instead of my laptop, and I can still control playback from my laptop client thanks to the way the Spotify client works, so it feels almost no different. I had a 15 minute work call from an upset customer come in while I was wearing the earbuds, by the way... At the beginning of the call I asked if he could hear me OK, he said it was fine, so there\'s that.Another small negative, the touch controls seem to function still when the buds are removed from the ear, so it\'s easy to trigger voice assistant or play/pause by accident when you\'re handling the buds. You quickly learn to hold them from the edges so as to not trigger the touch-controls, which I got used to quickly. But if the buds can detect when they\'re placed in the ear, wouldn\'t it be nice if they could detect when they are removed too (and disable touch controls)?Overall, I\'m incredibly pleased with these. I was on the fence for a while, reading loads of reviews and experiences. I wanted to be as thorough as I could with my thoughts on this to hopefully help anyone else that over-thinks things like I do.
- Here goes. I am not a professional reviewer. I am a musician. I have tried several true wireless headphones, read everything on the internet regarding the battery drain issue, and have watched pretty much all the reviews. Just trying to consolidate info.These headphones are still extremely relevant especially at a lowered price. The quick summary of the battery issue is that the headphones stay in a standby mode which drains far too much energy from the case while not being used. People that don\'t use the headphones report them being dead in a few days without use. These headphones work best for people that use them regularly, and as in my case, for exercise. Here are in my opinion the viable options for use.1. Use them regularly and you probably won\'t notice. The reason I only do this on occasion is that I do not want the headphone battery continuously cycling and eventually draining the capacity over time. For the price; however, this is not unreasonable.2. Once the headphones are charged, you can hold down the case button for 5 or 10 seconds until it turns off. The case will no longer charge the headphones until the charger is connected to the case and a power source. Basically just a physical case to carry the buds until hooked up to a charger. If you choose this option, you must put the buds in the case, and subsequently go into the app and manually turn off the earphones once in the case.3. Charge the buds in the case, and then simply use them without the case until they need to be charged. You must set the buds down in a place where they won\'t be accidentally touched (the touch controls are sensitive and you can easily turn them back on by accident) and manually turn them off with the app. I actually do this the most since my gym is in my apartment.Bonus info: There are mixed reports on whether having the usb (or an alternative tiny magnetic usb dongle) connected to the case slows (or in some cases reportedly fixes) the battery drain issue. I have not experimented with this.Quick down and dirty comparison. I care about music quality by far the most. For wireless, I have used both generations of MTW, the current WF/WH series sony\'s, the Sony SP700N, Jabra 65T, Jaybird X series, and the airpod pros. Sennheiser gen 1 is marginally better than 2 as most people report, with the difference being a smoother more engaging sound. I agree with the reports that gen 2 could be more accurate, but sounds slightly more harsh. Sennheiser officially responded to me that differences are potentially attributable to decreased casing size of gen 2 (reviews think the sound signature could be simply different and potentially altered with firmware). Both sennheisers blow everything else out of the water in my opinion. Much more engaging and fun. The current sony in ears are way overrated in my opinion, and I think the SP700N sound significantly better (the newer ones sound mechanical and boring to me, with less bass and low max volume). The airpods sound pretty decent, neurtral, safe and boring. Less of a seal is not an option for me and thats what you get with the airpods. While obviously not technically accurate, they sound mono compared to sennheisers stereo. Jabra 65T sounded tinny and just not good, haven\'t tried the 75 series. On a random note, call quality on the Gen 2 sennheisers was garbage, but firmware updated after I returned them Call quality is a bit hit or miss on Gen 1 I wouldn\'t get sennheisers if primary purpose is calls (maybe get some old airpods to compliment)Bottom line: If you primarily want headphones for working out, Gen 1 MTW are the BEST. Downsides include lower battery capacity (3-4 hours in my experimenting), annoying touch controls (the gen 2 are better in picking up when you actually want to press them), and obviously the battery drain issue. The lowered price helps. If you want all around headphones and you\'re not quiiiiiite as picky, go with the Gen 2 sennheisers. If you\'re not really that picky and its more for podcasts etc etc go with airpods if you have an iphone and if not maybe airpods or try the jabra or sony series.Last comments. Many people ask about max volume. The airpods definitely have a higher max volume than any I have tried. Sennheisers are slightly louder than SP700N and I think the newer sony\'s although I returned them a while back. There is an app called SpotEQ which allows you to turn up the gain and increase spotify volume. It works pretty well but if you increase anything else on the equalizer in addition to the gain, it can cause distortion. It has a distortion indicator, but not sure how accurate it is. I think the Gen 1 sennheisers sound better than the Sony overheads WH-1000XM3, which I bought for my mom. You have to be motivated to get the best sound, but at least there is a price discount!
