During use…

What do I need to do to get the best experience once I unpack my new MOMENTUM True Wireless 2?

Answer:

Wake up and charge the earbuds by placing them into the char­ging case and connecting the USB-C cable. Alternatively, after placing the earbuds into the charging case, press the button on the back of the charging case for at least 3 seconds.

Select the correct ear adapter from a selection of four sizes (XS, S, M, L). Choose the ear adapter size that provides a very good seal in order to enjoy the best possible audio experience.

Twist the earbuds slightly into your ear for perfect and secure fit.

Pair the earbuds with your smartphone. The Bluetooth pairing mode is activated automatically once you first activate the ear­phones. Alternatively, you can manually activate pairing mode by pressing both touchpads for at least 3 seconds. In the Bluetooth menu of your smartphone, select “MOMENTUM TW 2”.

A voice prompt will inform you once the pairing was completed successfully.

Download the Sennheiser Smart Control app from your app store to personalize your MOMENTUM True Wireless 2 experience.

What should I check or adjust to make sure the sound is at its very best?

Answer:

The MOMENTUM True Wireless 2 has been created to provide exceptional sound performance, thanks to our 7 mm audiophile dri­ver, the internal audio EQ and latest high-quality Bluetooth codecs.

However, to experience this sound to the full, it is essential to correc­tly place the earbuds in the ear-canal and to choose the best-fitting ear adapter set. The MOMENTUM True Wireless 2 comes with four sizes of ear adapters (XS, S, M, L) included in the box. The MOMEN­TUM True Wireless 2 quick guide explains precisely how to twist the earbuds into your ears to form a perfect seal within the ear-canal.

Please note that the sound may have been adjusted using the EQ function of the Smart Control app. To see if this is the case, connect to the Smart Control app and check the equalizer settings to ensure the desired sound.

 

What settings are recommended to get the 7-hour battery life that’s specified?

Answer:

The specified battery time of 7 hours has been confirmed for music listening under the following conditions:

MOMENTUM True Wireless 2 earbuds fully charged for at least 1.5 hours

   iPhone within 1-meter distance

   Bluetooth AAC codec

   Volume level set to 50%

   Transparent Hearing and Active Noise Cancellation feature turned off

   No customized EQ

The battery time may differ under different operating conditions.

 

Will the Transparent Hearing feature be affected by windy outdoor conditions?

Answer:

When using Transparent Hearing outdoors in stormy weather condi­tions or when cycling, wind noise may have impact on the Transpa­rent Hearing experience. As MOMENTUM True Wireless 2 has been designed to be portable it utilizes small microphones which, due to their compact nature can’t also be optimized for certain strong wind situations.

 

How do I check for, receive and install firmware updates?

Answer:

When using the Sennheiser Smart Control app, you will receive a notification once a new firmware release is available. The app will guide you through the update process. The firmware update will be installed over-the-air via the Bluetooth wireless connection.

Additionally, you can check for the current firmware release status in the Smart Control app’s settings.

 

How can I control the sidetone during calls?

Answer:

For comfortable calls the MOMENTUM True Wireless 2 has an inte­grated sidetone feature. "Sidetone" is the term given to the sound that is generated when a user hears their own voice in their own ear piece. The sidetone feature enables a natural experience of hearing one’s own voice when speaking during a call (own voice reception).

You can enable or disable the sidetone in the Smart Control app’s device settings.

 

Do the earbuds switch off automatically when not in use?

Answer:

The MOMENTUM True Wireless 2 has integrated power-saving fea­tures. When the earbuds are disconnected from a Bluetooth source and not in use, they will switch off automatically after 15 minutes.

To turn the earphones on again, press each touch pad for more than 2 seconds.

 

How can I activate aptX on my Mac to receive the highest possible audio quality?

Answer:

Depending on the settings, your Mac uses the SBC Bluetooth codec by default. To know which codec is active, connect your MOMEN­TUM True Wireless 2 to your Mac and start music playback. Press and hold the option key and click the Bluetooth menu bar icon and navigate to the MOMENTUM True Wireless 2 entry (‘MOMENTUM TW 2’). There you will see the type of codec used currently.

 

If you see SBC rather than aptX, then MacOS does let you change the codec via the “Terminal” app. Open Terminal and copy in this instruc­tion:

sudo defaults write bluetoothaudiod "Enable AptX codec" -bool true

Should you prefer to use the AAC codec, just replace “aptx” with “aac” in the above instruction.

 

Please note that you will need to enter your admin login data to change these settings.
