this is one of the most generic looking boxes i've ever seen look at it compared
to the momentum true wireless twos it's almost the exact same if these were on
the shelf beside each other you could easily grab the wrong one what we want
to talk about is the momentum true wireless three from sennheiser are they
even sennheiser anymore turn great sound into your sound we'll talk about why
they wrote that later oh look at they got the german right there welcome in
here's the actual charging case it has a fabric look kind of like the cases that
google was making for their pixel phones for a while there and inside
ah there it is there's the earphones uh
inside the box looks like we're gonna get some ear tips and what is this
it might just have to oh this looks like the they go around the
earphone on the outside we'll try those in a bit they're kind of like wing tips
to go into your what is that called pina concha i think that's a swear word in
spanish uh okay here we go a usb a to
c cable for charging that plugs into
the front of the charge case this also can charge wirelessly they say seven
hours on the earbuds themselves which can be extended to a total of 28 so an
extra 21 hours with the charging case
french plug this in for 30 seconds what is this
trying to say i'm not doing it anyway i'm a hard-headed
man-child tips none of these are foam they're all
silicone there's three sizes extra small small and large screw you if you're
medium
let's get a look at them maybe i'll open up the box from the twos and we can see
how they're different but first i want to try putting this little ring on this
side okay it does come with one already and so you can see there's this little
bulge in it you see that right there
there's a little bulge and then this one's bulgeless this one's little
bulgier so that's just gonna extend further and further into your guancha i
usually just keep the stock ones on you know what i should do though is i should probably put a different size on each
one because i feel like i always have a different fit on my left ear all right let's see what the twos looked like very
similar case although i would say this nuke oh the new case is definitely
smaller it's like a millimeter or less taller
maybe a centimeter shorter and the uh the width seems the same how many
bananas different oh my goodness
so yeah the case is definitely way more compact now just look at all
the dead space they had between earphones before so that's a nice
improvement and then they for some reason changed the position of the port
on the earphones oh man i don't want to mix up who's who here
so they were a little shinier brighter before now these do
come in three colors there's basically black white and graphite i'm assuming
this is graphite but they're less silvery they're they're still very shiny
i can see that there are three mics
on this thing there's one on the inside and then there's two external ones i'm
gonna put on one of each and you guys can tell me which one's better what do
you think huh or
ah that one looks better
hell yeah that's what you want the new one's the good one cool get this crap
out of my face all right let's pair this with my phone and check with the app i
hate i hate when apps have little flows like this at the beginning just like let
me in i'll allow the permissions this one time no device found so clearly
i need to do something to start pairing them there's no button in here which is
actually my preference i like when there's a pairing button in the case i find that's more intuitive than touch
and hold both earbuds for three seconds to start bluetooth fairing put them both
in touch and hold both i hear nothing i think i need to wake him up i think i
need to do this i need a power source um can i get a battery bank please pairing
cool let's get back in the action pairing successful with a slight british
accent nice it's weird that it has to look for the device when it's already connected
to my phone there we go okay cool little interface
here connections just the pixel 4 the momentum true
wireless you can connect to can only connect to one device
at once okay so this whole there's no reason for this page to exist oh
firmware update the update will take 21 minutes all right i'll do this damn
firmware update because that gives me a great opportunity to talk about our sponsor joby joby is known for their
unique gorilla pod but they now have a brand new lineup of creator focus audio
gear there's the huevo pro a flagship on-camera shotgun microphone with active
noise reduction the huevo pod a podcast or gaming microphone ready to plug and
play with usbc the huevo air a high quality wireless mic kit that's modular
and designed for the creator on the go and the huevo lav pro an ultra small
lavalier microphone that pairs perfectly with the huevo pro so take your content
creation to the next level with joby using the link below wow that update
took a long time but we're back and we're into the app let's check out the
equalizer options we start with here so
it ships with it all flat which is cool you can adjust the base mids and treble
and what are the steps kind of 1 db steps up to plus or minus 6
db i'm going to leave it flat for now i doesn't look like there's any
presets you can just save and name let's call this one to
your own oh there are other ones too there's rock
pop dance hip hop classical movie and then my custom ones are down there
all right i'm going to keep it like that because that's the best way to evaluate
something like this right off the bat there's also bass boost special eq
preset for more intense bass uh podcast mode special eq preset for
enhanced speech clarity so that's just gonna boost up the frequency range where
the human voice is what this thing just spoke to me it said volume max and i
don't know why i guess i tapped on it that's going to bring us to what the
interface is like which i am excited to hear about transparency mode is off
adaptive noise cancellation off for now let's play some tunes uh
this is loud enough for me already at 60 percent so that's a good sign
yeah max is pretty loud it's not super loud but it's pretty loud can't really
hear my snapping right now let's see what happens when i turn on the active
noise cancellation didn't really seem to change much
all right now i'm going to turn that off keep clapping
okay no real change but what i don't understand is am i turning off adaptive
noise cancellation or am i turning off all active noise cancelling
and i don't i don't know they do sound a little bright but not really that
impressed honestly i want to do the hearing test now and see if the eq that
this app shoots out for me makes these songs that i love sound better oh i need
an account i gotta play my own tracks oh weird
select the option that sounds best for you
i honestly cannot tell like if you were pressing the button and i wasn't looking
i wouldn't even know you pressed the button this is not what i was expecting for
this flow oh wait i can tell the difference on this a and b are similar
but c is like way different it's like this one guitar is getting put under
water when i hit c i think i like b
all right it just boosted the crap out of the treble but the trello the treble
was the thing i thought was too bright at the beginning too hard so now
like if i okay i'm gonna save this i'm on that preset now i'm gonna go back
to the song i was playing a few minutes ago and see if i still think it's too
harsh i don't know am i just am i just used to
it now this isn't a review whatever let's see what the features are tap on
the right pause top on the left did not unpause oh
that's transparency mode hey what's up guys hey hello can you hear me now
good and now
it's either anc or not also what the hell is going on sometimes
it's playing and changing transparency mode why is
the music playing and pausing is there two functions bound to this one
button what kind of mode i guess oh i guess i'm just turning
transparency on and off and when your transparency mode it pauses because you're trying to listen to somebody and
then you put it back to anc and it thinks well you probably want to
also play music then i can pause it over here
and anc is still on okay so it's making an assumption there they made a design
design decision there i guess it's defensible uh double tap
next song triple tap i gotta say oh what the hell
google assistant on triple tap get out of here i have to say the haptics are
good every time i tap it seems to register a tap there's also these little
feedback sounds when i triple tap it goes it doesn't just go boop boop
like the second and third hits have different sounds okay so how do i go
back a song is it double tap on the left
yes what if i triple tap this one
it goes but i'm not talking i don't know what
that is i'm gonna look in the app it'll tell me uh also is there a long press
volume max okay so you hold and it goes
ramps down can you see that on here that's really weird it's like the
headphone has its own volume range that's decoupled from the phone so i'm
not saying the volume meter go up and down here and when i turn this up to volume max
i'm still here so it's kind of like you have two volume
knobs to adjust it's kind of like on your tv you might have a stereo and you
set your knob and you just leave that knob and then use your tv remote to like
turn up and down might get annoying in the headphones kind of use case though
touch controls oh you can just disable the touch controls completely too that's
that's gonna be handy all right so you get left and right
one two three taps and a hold sometimes what you see in these apps is
with a certain interaction like say one tap you only are allowed certain actions
you can't just do all the actions coupled with any of the interactions
they limit you for some like artificial reason which is super annoying here with
one tap i get a lot of options it looks like i'm not
limited in any way you can make anything go from no function play and pause next track
previous track the voice assistant and now that's what this is bound to that's
why it's highlighted volume up and down power on and off so the triple tap is
noise cancellation and the single tap is transparency mode
so that's what it was when it was going doodoo but i couldn't tell i'm really
impressed with the interface here can we get that fan going i'm going to try some
anc on and off so i'm going to try this wind anti-wind mode i can feel this i
can barely hear it it doesn't seem to be affecting the sound of the sound of
music but let's do a call hey what's up buddy i'm just doing a
test call on ShortCircuit really i sound terrible i have a fan
pointed at me and i have the anti-wind feature on i'm going to turn it off and
you tell me if i sound even more terrible alright i'm going to say one consistent note and then you tell me
if it's how it gets better i'm going to go
did it get better or worse throughout that you couldn't tell okay all right thanks
i'm satisfied with that see you later
cole ended i really like the voice oh
transparency mode with music so i think that's the toggle so what was
the command before it was um single tap okay so if i hit that
off with music we got there guys we figured
it out close the loop on that one it's a setting well okay it's cool you seem to
get a lot of settings with this oh man i have such disgusting wet earwax
especially on the left like the right's okay but damn sound zones allow you to
automatically apply your sound settings when entering or leaving a sound zone
that's kind of dope actually because you could be like all right
whenever i walk into this part of the office i want
transparency on like if i leave my desk i want transparency on if i walk into
the gym i want a anc on
or if i walk into my home i want the volume maxed
get away from me continue without location permissions oh whoa sweet okay
so i just zoom in you can only go down to 100 meters okay you're definitely not
doing rooms in your house maybe if you have a big office this will
work but okay so the actions when entering the
noise zone noise control is the term for active noise canceling or transparency or off
you can choose a different eq that's kind of interesting it's like pretty
basic but it's pretty cool great excuse to give away your location data
they're a pretty good headphone the sound didn't blow me away but one
thing that's really nice is that somehow throughout a global pandemic a
chip shortage inflation hitting record numbers these
went down in price 50 bucks the first and second models of this headphone were
300 us dollars now they're 250. that's crazy were they making too much money
before they just had an acquisition or they got sold so maybe they got some
synergies i don't know but they cut the price they're competing in a different
bracket now yeah i guess they're the same price as their pods pros now this
case is definitely bigger and lamer i like the experience of them a lot more
than the sound necessarily but the sound is definitely good enough this is my new
rating system actually i'm not giving recommendations or don't buy i'm not
giving ratings out of 10 like we do on they're just movies the movie podcast
that you should subscribe to instead i'm giving it facial expressions
so this is good this is decent
and that's what these get all right thanks for watching short
circuit subscribe come back for more banana
reviews i like them when they're spotless and
slightly green but you know if they're black then you can make some bread with them
