If you own a pair of Momentum True Wireless 3s, you’ll be glad to hear that Sennheiser is bringing a firmware update via the Smart Control App (iOS, Android) to enable multipoint device connectivity and a high-resolution sound mode for better quality with a single tap.
This update now allows you to instantly switch between two paired devices for dynamic management of active connections, so whether from TV to laptop or phone, it's a swift and uber-convenient process. This is more important than ever in the hybrid era because you never know when you may need to switch from binge-watching to a con call.
Multipoint also works to switch back to the original audio source device if and when you are answering an incoming call mid-stream. Lastly, the multipoint update allows for an uninterrupted switch through the various mutually supported codecs, such as aptX Adaptive, and SBC – it even works across mobile operating system platforms from various manufacturers.
The high-resolution sound mode update features 24-bit depth and 96 kHz sample rate capability, unlocking sound quality on par with wired headphones. By connecting Momentum True Wireless 3 to an audio source while using the aptX Adaptive codec, the mode enables an increase in the Bluetooth bitrate up to 420 kilobits per second for optimum sound. In RF-challenged environments like public transportation, the Momentum True Wireless 3 can also utilize the codec’s data scaling capabilities to adapt the connection integrity at any given moment seamlessly. The mode can be enabled via Sennheiser’s Smart Control App.
