Reviewer score 58%At Rs 34,990, the Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless are among the most expensive pairs of headphones in the segment. While the brand and styling might help justify the price to some extent, the important thing here is performance. Regardless of whether we listened to streaming music or high-resolution tracks, the headphones sounded rich and detailed with pretty much every kind of genre we tried. The soundstage wasn't quite as wide and all-encompassing as we've experienced with other headphones in this price range.

Pros
- Well-built design
- Good active noise cancellation
- Good battery life
Cons
- Sound leakage at high volumes
laptopmag[2]
Reviewer score 79%Sennheiser has equipped the Momentum 3 with a Transparency Mode for those moments you have to interact with someone, but don't necessarily want to stop jamming. When the mode is activated, all the ambient noise comes into the cans which, depending on how loud you're playing your music, can blend in rather amusing ways. The Bose 700 did a better job of keeping unnecessary ambient noises out which let me better focus on the conversation.

Cons
- No noise cancelling
- Mediocre call quality

Reviewer score 71%The Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless offer a wide sound stage with a lot of depth. They convince with their playfulness and differentiated reproduction and are at home in all genres. The active noise cancellation muffles low background noise very reliably. The voice quality is decent and the headphones can also be used well for telephony in quiet environments.

techradar[5]
Reviewer score 82%The Sennheiser Momentum 3 Wireless feature decent noise cancellation. They don't block out as much environmental noise as rivals like the Sony WH-1000XM3 or the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700, but you'll still be able to listen to your music in relative peace. With 42mm transducers, these headphones are made to replicate the "balanced depth and precision of a studio recording"

Cons

Reviewer score 51%The Momentum 3 supports Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa. There is no power button or sleep mode, so I learned the hard way that the only method of turning them off is by collapsing them. The low volume levels make it difficult to communicate, especially in rowdy environments. Sennheiser makes up for its poor call quality is in wireless performance.
