I've got both the Sennheiser Momentum II and 3 headphones. The II's are great headphones. But, the 3's are a whole step change better with the sound. There's a noticeable difference in quality when I switch between them.
The 3's have two really annoying "features" which stop them from being amazing headphones. There's a sensor in the right ear cup which pauses whatever you're listening to if you move it from your ear. Even if I move it a little just to hear something. And to turn the headphones off, you have to fold them. There's no "on" switch. This is really annoying when your partner forgets to fold them, and you head out and find the battery is dead. Oh, and if was listening to something on my iPad and haven't closed the tab or app properly eg; Spotify, Youtube, Apple Music etc, when you turn them on it'll connect instantly and start playing whatever you were last listening to. This is annoying when you have no idea where your iPad is and wanted to listen to something else on your phone. They do sound amazing though.
The Sennheiser Momentum II were next on my list. But as I started looking around yesterday I realise there is now a Momentum 3 available.
But 3 has a significantly lower RRP than II had back in the day, so just wondering if I am missing something. Is 3 a worthy next generation or a stripped down version in some respect?
