On the surface, the Momentum True Wireless 2 (MTW2) is virtually identical to the first Momentum True Wireless (MTW1 except for an updated colour scheme. It’s now available in a dar grey case with black earbuds, or a tan case with white earbuds. The case is identical in size and is clad in the same fabric as before. The earbuds themselves appear to be slightly smaller, but still fit firmly in m ears with its twist-and lock mechanism. The earbuds still sport the shiny metallic cap wit a radiating design, an snap into the case wit a satisfying thud.
Overall, this is not a bad thing. The form factor of the MTW1 was already one of the best in the marke so why fix the parts that aren’t broken? The charging case, however, remains large and lacks wireless charging.
Now, the MTW1 suffered from a severe battery drain issue that left your case dead after a few days of doing absolutely nothing. Sennheiser acknowledged the issue and attributed it to how it implemented the model’s idle mode. In the MTW2, Sennheiser tells me that this approach has not changed, but it is way more energy efficient thanks to its new chipset based on Bluetooth 5.1.
