These are probably one of the most expensive earbuds I’ve seen … costing around USD $299, it’s unsettling to think about the possibility of losing one of them! Still, the audio quality is second to none.
Taken from Engadget … Now the company is back with the Momentum True Wireless 2 ($299.95). It added active noise cancellation (ANC) and improved battery life, but the earbuds are still just as pricey.
Although Sennheiser says the Momentum True Wireless 2 (MTW2) is only 2mm smaller than the first-gen model, the size difference is noticeable in depth and diameter. They’re still larger than the Jabra Elite 75t ($180) and the Samsung Galaxy Buds+ ($149), but every little bit helps. Other than stature, the MTW2 is pretty much identical design-wise. The touchpad on the outside of each bud is still textured metal with the logo emblazoned on both sides. The microphone array on this new model is a six-hole square pattern instead of single dots, but that’s only noticeable if you’re looking closely. The charging case is also the same size and shape, although this time the fabric is a few shades darker and the logo on top is now white instead of black.
The on-board controls were a source of unending frustration on the first Momentum True Wireless model. That was especially true when it came to any actions that required multiple taps. Thankfully, that’s no longer an issue. There’s a beep that increases in pitch each time you tap on the earbuds, so there’s audio feedback to guide you. It seems simple, but it’s really helpful. On most earbuds like this, you’re just left guessing if you did it correctly — waiting to see if the track actually skips ahead or if you’ve accidentally summoned Siri.

Summary
Sennheiser’s second-generation true wireless earbuds not only have extended battery life and active noise cancellation, but they’re also more pleasant to use. The touch controls are a lot more reliable this time around and the company kept the customization that allows you to fine-tune settings. The only unfortunate thing here is the price.
