I was really surprised by how awesome these sounded! I bought them with the idea that I was going to use them with the wire rather than wireless. Wired headphones usually sound better.
But wow!
I downloaded the app to my phone. I charged up the headphones. And then in the app, I turned on the high end sound setting. And I turned off the noise canceling, because I had heard that the noise canceling made the bass sound boomier and I was looking for neutral.
By the way, you gotta turn the volume low on your phone when you open the headphone and put it on your head. And then turn the volume up on the headphone itself to get the desired volume. After that, you can control volume with your phone up and down.
1. Comfort - I have medium size ears and I thought the leather ear cushions were very comfortable. The experience was like sitting back on a cushy leather sofa. Thumbs up.
2. Build Quality - very well built. Nothing on it looks like it would be easy to break, unless you threw it against the wall.
3. Style- I bought the white and gray headphones, I think they’re very stylish. Kind of a retro look, but I like that.
4. Portability. These are the biggest Sennheiser momentums ever made. But they fold up. The soft zipped case that they come with has a a carabiner, so you can hook it onto a carry-on bag.
5. Noise cancelling. The noise canceling is pretty good, but not outstanding. Certainly not as strong as the Bose 700 or the Sony XM4s. Even my little AirPod Pros are better at noise canceling. But the sound quality of the AirPod pros is nowhere near as good as the Sennheiser.
6. Sound Quality. These are amazing! As I said, I had the high end setting on within the app and noise canceling turned off. I was amazed at the clarity of the midrange, that was the first thing I noticed, the smoothness of the sound was the next thing I noticed. The clarity of the treble is also very pleasant, without even the tiniest bit of piercing brightness.
I tried using it with the wire, it was very good, but this headphone sounds better wireless! Crazy! I had the noise cancelling off.
When I turned on the noise canceling, it did give the bass a bit of extra boom and impact. Some will like that!
I would characterize the overall sound as clear, vibrant, and balanced.
By comparison, I thought the Sony XM4 sounded more V shaped and boomy.
And the Bose QC35 was nowhere near as awesome sounding as the Momentum 3.
I own all three over ear Momentum headphones, and this one is by far the best. I like the Over ear Momentum 2 wired’s sound, but the mid range was a little muffled, the mid range of the Momentum 3 is clear as can be.
I would say the weakest thing about this headphone is the firmware, it takes getting used to, it took a while for me to figure out that you should control the volume on the headset first and then turn it up on the phone.
I’m not 100% sure about the battery life because I usually put it back on the charger before it goes dead. Maybe I shouldn’t do that?
I own a Hifiman Ananda, the Sennheiser 650 and 600 and 58X, and I’ve owned most of the open back Sennheisers south of the 700. I personally prefer this M3 more than any of the other Sennheisers for sound quality.
And if you can get it for $250 or $270, you got a slam dunk of a deal, unless you need something with the most noise canceling. For me, I was in it for the sound quality, for that smooth Sennheiser sound that I love.

Quality management ?
(Sorry, my English is not good, most of the following are directly presented by the translator)This is my first time shopping on Amazon, and I also chose to buy this headset when the price was reduced. I tried many wireless earphones in the earphone store. This one is my favorite with B&W PX7, followed by Sony WH1000XM4, and I chose the professional SennheiserI waited with excitement and anticipation for this headset to arrive. He came three days earlier than expected, which is great!But... I didn't expect that when I used it for the first time, there was no sound in the left ear. No, there was a sound before. It was about 10 minutes. When I took off the headset and took a break, he didn't make any sound anymore.In detail, the first time I used it, there was no sound in the left ear, no beep, and sound was only in the right ear when playing music. Then I tried to change the device connection, Bluetooth or 3.5mm, but failed to make the left ear sound.After tossing for an hour, I gave up, let’s charge it first,After charging, I connected the phone with 3.5mm, and found that the left ear suddenly had a sound.I was very happy at this time, but as just said, when I rested for a while, my left ear fell asleep...?! He didn't wake up until I returned the product...WTF...When I reacted with Amazon customer service, I got many suggestions and test steps. I am very happy to be the first one to serve me. I tested it that night, resetting the headset system and updating the firmware, but I still couldn't solve it.When I request the support of Amazon customer service again, they are willing to help me replace the new product, but in the last step, my area cannot do this replacement for me?I encountered a product defect the first time I made a purchase on Amazon, and the best thing for me was a refund...I was very polite and polite to communicate with the customer service throughout the whole process. Although my English is not good, I believe that the other party can feel my respect and politeness. (The conversation records have screenshots)In the end, I got a refund, and I had to wait for the price of the product to drop, and then re-purchase when the price I wanted was reached.I did not accuse any customer service staff, they also spent their energy and time to serve me,It’s just that I feel sad and a little angry. The shopping experience is unpleasant and disappointing.I’m not sure if it’s correct to share here, just to express my feelings. I’m going to return the product in these two days, and wait and try my luck to check the price. When the price of the headset drops again, I will buy it again...Sennheiser’s HD600/660S/IE400 are all headphones I own and like. I didn’t expect the quality of wireless products to surprise me...
