To me personally, they sound clearly better than the AirPods Pro and also better than the XM4. Cannot speak for the XM3 as I've never heard or used them.

Good. I hope the fit is also much better as both the Apple Airpods Pro and Sony WF-1000MX3 don’t stay in my ears while excercising.

I find them to be a great fit; the new shape and ear fins lock them in. With all in-ear couplings it takes some experimentation but seemed to balance stability and minimalism well. Of course, for intense exercise, the Sennheiser Sport True Wireless is the best for the application; more water resistance, twist-to-fit fins, and a related tuning to MTW3.

They sound really good, along with great comfort! At least that's my take after 20 min. I could easily recommend these to everyone except those crazy EDM people that likes their bass too much.

Also hands down to Sennheisers software-functions, It's hard to believe that not every single TWS in the higher price-segment support all these features, my AZ60 were close, they just lacked the excellent connection management. Let's hope Senny can add multi-point soon, then these can shine even more, especially given the excellent connection management.

With both my AZ60 and MTW3 I can easily switch between music/anc and transparency/pause music, this should be a standard feature imo!

If I have to say something negative is that the case still feels way to big compared to many competitors, personally I'm not a fan of the fabric either (personal preference), it looks great but I just don't like the feel to the touch, it feels so rough compared to plastic/metal cases. The case hinge seems really solid tho and finally wireless charging!

I got them yesterday. They sound much better than my Apple AirPods Pro while costing the same.

Based on my first impression, it is more secure in my ears so it will probably not drop out of my ears if I exercise today. If it stays in my ears, then it was definitely worth the upgrade.

I guess these IEM's / Earbuds don't support spatial audio?

 

[C_Lindbergh]

Would it be possible to add volume up/down as an option for the 3 tap touch gesture?

Also it would be wonderful if the connection management had an option to sett priority connection!

Tap+hold to raise/lower volume has proven to be the most efficient way to adjust levels as volume adjustments are rarely just 1 increment. Imagine needing to raise the volume 5 steps using the 3x tap gesture (15 total taps in one direction); if you miss a tap you're activating a track fwd (R) or back (L) or rejecting a call. If you use the wrong earbud to raise and actually lower it, you have to correct in the other direction with an extra 3 taps (18 taps!). Good suggestion about priority!

Welcome to the #MTW3Club ! Correct—as it turns out they do not have the Airpod's spatial audio feature.

Yea, its just a personal preference, I almost never do big volume changes when using earbuds, but I do small changes quite often since various tracks can differ a tiny bit with volume.

I was just wondering if it was some sort of software limitation to why I can't select Volume up/down for 3x tap

I just want to copy my set-up on my AZ60

Could be an unwanted mistake by the seller or just a very good deal, I don't know for sure but the German seller Euronics (well known here) has the MTW3 today for 193€ (shipping included) or 187 if you can pick them up. Almost too good to be true so early after release but I still ordered a second pair now - let's see

Out of curiosity, did Sennheiser put much extra emphasis on the hinge for the case? In my view its the most sturdy feeling hinge of any TWS that I've tried.

I've heard this a few times now. The hinge is similar to MTW2, however the case is overall smaller and it is packed with a Qi coil, so it may simply feel more substantial. I'll side-by-side them a little later and see if I can identify any other differences.

Sound-wise I'm reaaaally enjoying the additional sub-bass, and the choice to put transparent hearing on 1 tap is ready awesome. Popping them onto my Samsung Qi charger is so darn convenient and a welcome addition. I've even charged them from my S22+ via power share...works like a charm!

Sennheiser contacted me and I reviewed the 1st generation MTW. The MTW have, IMO, always had the best sound quality of the upper end TW available. The signature has always checked my box. Enter the TW2, continued on in the tradition and delivered the goods on sound quality, loved the app and the fit.

Now the #3.

I have some thoughts and impressions. This won't be extensive. Sound quality is great, just slightly better than the TW2 when I can find the sweet spot with the seal. Controls are much more sensitive on the TW3. Price reduction is a major thumbs up!

I enjoyed the app updates I saw with TW2, very similar to the TW3, but now registration is required is you want to use all of the features, minor inconvenience, but not sure why? Also, I only and always utilized the "high end sound tuning slider", great tuning. it is non-existent with the TW3. I don't use eq ever, but for those folks that do 3-sliders is actually worthless.

I need to add I also owned the CX, which is closer in fit to the TW3, but I think it was a hair larger. My issue with the TW3 is the fit. After trying all iterations, I have removed the fins, I would put them back on if I was working out. The L ear tip is always my go to, for comparison with my IEMs I use LL Final E tips (when I choose Final tips). With the nozzle length and design of the shell I need to work to achieve a seal on the TW3. Deep insertion is impossible. If there was a LL if it would be fine. Please don't recommend Comply tips, I won't even bother as I have never had good luck with them and don't like what they do to the sound. I have pulled both of my organizers filled with tips, but the Spinfit CP360 and the Final negatively impact the sound IMO.

The reason seal is critical on the TW3, as on my in-ears is for sound quality, to achieve the best bass response. It is even more critical to achieve proper seal with these because it effects more than SQ. Since this is a shallow fit monitor, pushing them in too far to achieve seal will ultimately block microphones and will cause you to sound muffled to the person you are speaking to on the other end. Seal is also completely necessary for ANC. If anyone is struggling with fit, but wants to try to make them work, make sure the bass boost slider is on in the EQ tab. Bass creates a natural isolation to outside noise.

This is not to discourage anyone, just my findings. My brother, who I made a Senn loyalist, has them as well and absolutely loves them

My 2 cents.

 

[C_Lindbergh]

Would it be possible for a setting that would let more of my own voice in during a phone call? Yeah it would prob mean more ambient sound as well, but I would really like to hear my own voice at a greater volume.
