Curious how these stack up against the Momentum True Wireless, which imho sound excellent.

As far as I can tell these look like Sennheiser took the Momentum TW II, removed the ANC, and tweaked the shape a bit. Then knocked $100 off the price. Same driver specs and same battery life, so in theory they might sound pretty similar.

For what it's worth, I don't miss ANC when I use the original Momentum TW... but I do wish for the superior battery life of the newer version.

so the sound is more or less the same ? the anc and "hear trough" was bad anyway compared to the apples , but the sound was / is way better
They have the same drivers, and you can customize the sound.

I find the "hear through" pretty effective on the original TW2. It does what I need it to do, which is really all I can ask for.

I wonder what impact the shells have on SQ. It's very clearly a different shape externally, but the inside may be the same. If this new model uses the same driver and likely the same/similar electronics, it could sound just as good as the Momentums.

turn it on while some louder noise in your surroundings like while you cook something in a pan with oil .. it’s gets horrible amplified. While with the air pods pro , it sounds like how you would hear it if you had no iems in . Another thing , try to turn on hear trough and turn on your tv , you can’t understand the Dialoge , with the air pods it’s natural again as if you had no iems in . So the technic itself to „hear trough“ is way better at the air pods , while the sennheiser offer the better sound quality . So if these new wireless iems offer the same sound as the mtw2, I’m on board :) for the use while hear trough is not needed .

If they have the same drivers, then why advertise “...the bespoke drivers of the CX 400BT deliver high-fidelity sound...” ? This would imply they are unique to the CX 400BT.
Good question. You can ask Sennheiser. We're using their direct words :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
