Sennheiser Momentum 3 review

The fact that headphones can be used without an audio cable makes the wireless devices super popular. However, when it comes to choosing between Bose 700 vs Sennheiser Momentum 3, it might be difficult. I have made a comparison of these closed back wireless headphones with an over-ear wearing style.

Features

Sennheiser Momentum 3 produces the music in a range between 6 Hz and 22 kHz. The device is 99 dB sensitive and has impedance 100 Ohm.

Bose 700 and Sennheiser Momentum 3 need approximately the same time for charging — 2.5 and 3 hours respectively. But the battery life of the first device is surprisingly longer — 20 hours, as Sennheiser Momentum 3 works up to 17 hours. Another advantage of Bose 700 is the speed charge function. There is also a battery-free listening mode available for both appliances. If you need headphones with aptX support, choose Sennheiser Momentum 3.

Sound

Listening to favorite songs with these headphones is really convenient, as they have different levels of noise-canceling. Sennheiser Momentum 3 is great for pop and hip-hop. It has a warm and well-balanced sound.

Bose 700 delivers a wide soundstage, with balanced highs, mids, and lows. These are headphones with an excellent vibrant and lively character.

Comfort and design

If you use the headphones without a wire, the battery level indicator will be very useful. Bose 700 and Sennheiser Momentum 3 have it. These headphones come with a carry case. The device made by Bose has touch control and built-in buttons, while the other one is equipped only with the buttons.

The built-in microphone lets you receive calls with the headphones. They also have an adjustable headband. Speaking of weight, Sennheiser Momentum 3 vs Bose 700 has 305, while the other appliance weighs 255 g.
