FOR Accurate sound, touch controls work well, battery life
AGAINST No wireless charging on case, basic app, expensive
Not very different looking from their first generation counterparts and you’ll have to look closely at the details to tell them apart. The big difference though is the addition of active noise cancellation (ANC) and a hugely extended battery life. In fact, the claimed jump is from 8hrs to a frankly insane 28hrs! That’s in line with big, brawny over-ear headphones that have a lot more real estate to pack in bigger batteries, so it’s evident where Sennheiser has spent all that engineering money. The TW2 fit well in their premium-looking, fabric wrapped case too. Form factor wise, the Momentum True Wireless 2 are on par with the Jabra, Sony or Samsung options, but their metal end caps give them a more premium and purposeful look. They also provide a high level of passive sealing too, so the ANC is just a massive bonus that’ll come in handy in the noisiest of environs.
What is actually commendable is how Sennheiser has managed to offer a full suite of touch controls on either L/R earpod to do everything from toggle between ANC and Transparency modes, track and volume changes, bringing up Siri or Google Assistant and more! The touch sensitivity is just right, so you won’t have to tap hard on your pods, which usually upsets the fit. A gentle tap, once you get the measure of the right amount of pressure and you’ll be interacting with them without ever needing the partnering app. The app by itself isn’t something that is critical like on the Sony WF series for example. You can’t control the level of ambient noise you want seeping in and you can’t reset the sound to account for air pressure changes while flying, etc. What you can do is use the built-in EQ to alter the sound signature.
