My partner could hear me clearly over the phone. It’s great for transparency mode, in which outside noise gets picked up and played into the earbuds, but it’s even more helpful for calls. You can also set up the earbuds to use them solo, i.e. The ear-detection sensors, which pause the music if an earbud falls out and continue playing once you put it back in, worked very well. I didn’t have much use for this, but I can imagine it being helpful if you go to the gym or use public transport and don’t want to equalise the sound each time you change area. The app’s best feature is “Sound Zones.” This allows you to set up to 20 zones, automatically changing the sound depending on where you’re located. The Sony app offers five for more accurate equalisation. It only offers three customisable frequencies, one for bass, mid and treble. The equaliser is a long way off the one found on the Sony Connect app. Other than the touch control customisation, the Smart Control app is a little lacking. I rarely made any mistakes with the touch controls. I knew exactly how many times I’d pressed an action, so triple tapping to turn noise cancellation off or on wasn’t an issue. This is accurate and clear with the Momentum True Wireless 3 earbuds. These touch controls and their inputs can be easily changed to your personal preference in the Smart Control app.Ī helpful feature that I think all earbuds should have is audible beeps that sound when the earbud registers a touch control. You can change track, turn ANC on/off, turn transparency mode on/off, play/pause and initiate a voice assistant. I especially liked being able to turn the volume up and down via touch (something that isn’t always available with earbuds.) Everything you’d expect is here. There’s a good amount of customisation available with the touch controls.

You probably won’t notice the difference in day-to-day usage.
#BEST EQUALIZER SETTINGS FOR BASS THAT DOESNT DROWN LYRICS CRACK#
However, they struggled with the sharp crack of the snare and higher frequencies like the crash and hi-hat. The earbuds did a good job at cancelling the kick and toms. I did notice it struggled with higher frequencies, though. It’s great if you’re trying to drown out the low hum of traffic or an aeroplane engine. The ANC here is at its best when cancelling low to mid frequencies. It isn’t quite as good as the best in the business, the Bose QuietComfort, but it works well. The Momentum True Wireless 3 earbuds offer good active noise cancellation (ANC). Although functionally, it doesn’t do anything different to any other case, it looks nicer. It’s light, very sturdy and has a cloth material that feels and looks premium. The case is one of the nicest cases I’ve come across. It’s important to know that this classification doesn’t cover the case, though, so you’ll have to dry the earbuds before charging them.

The Momentum True Wireless 3’s have an IPX4 resistance rating, meaning they’ll survive a splash of water or some sweat. We were given the Graphite version, and they look fine. The earbuds come in three colours, Graphite (Black), Grey and White. I didn’t have a problem wearing these while running. It isn’t as drastic as the wings often found on sports-oriented earbuds like the Bose Sport. They come in three different sizes to fit almost any ear and come with three different sized “rings.” These rubber rings have a slightly raised ridge to help keep the earbuds in your ears. They’re canal earbuds (meaning they push right into your ear) with a rectangular design that provides a large surface for touch controls. The Momentum True Wireless 3’s are comfortable and classy. They are more expensive than the NuraTrue earbuds, which are just as good and significantly cheaper at just $300. This is a competitive price, Sony’s WF-1000XM4’s cost $379, and Bose’s QuietComfort earbuds cost $400. The Momentum True Wireless 3 earbuds cost $425.
