Back in March of 2020 we awarded an Editors' Choice award to Sennheiser's Momentum True Wireless 2 earbuds. They're still excellent earbuds, but two years is a long time in the headphone market, and fans of Sennheiser buds have been eagerly awaiting a third-gen Momentum True Wireless 3. Well, it'll officially be announced in April, according to Sennheiser, although the company wouldn't provide any details beyond that.  Â
Sennheiser executives noted the impending arrival of the Momentum True Wireless 3 during an online presentation discussing its new partnership Swiss company Sonova, which acquired Sennheiser's consumer products business last year. As part of the presentation, Sennheiser announced a new high-end in-ear headphone, the IE 600 ($700), which it says is "crafted from ZR01 amorphous zirconium, a metal with a glass-like atomic structure that gives it triple the hardness and bend resistance of high-performance steel."
However, it was more vague about upcoming wireless headphones, only mentioning that the Momentum True Wireless 3 buds were coming soon and that other products were in the pipeline.Â
Sennheiser's new high-end wired in-ear headphones, the IE 600, are due to ship in the next few months.
The Momentum True Wireless 2 initially cost $300 (£279; AU$450) but has since come down in price. Hopefully, the Momentum True Wireless 3 buds will be smaller but offer longer battery life along with improved noise cancelling and better voice-calling performance. It wouldn't hurt if they sounded better, too.
