Sennheiser has announced a firmware update to its Smart Control app for iOS and Android, providing a free upgrade for users of the Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless and Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 headphones. The new 4.3 update offers enhanced personalization options, allowing users to customize their listening experience and adjust the audio output according to their preferences.
The most significant addition is the expanded equalizer (EQ) section in the Smart Control app for these two headphone models. Previously, users had access to three EQ settings: Low, Mid, and High. With the update, Sennheiser has introduced additional options for Low-mid and High-mid frequencies, bringing the total number of EQ settings to five. This expanded EQ functionality enables users to precisely adjust the prominence of specific frequencies, tailoring the sound to their individual preferences.
Moreover, the firmware update introduces an interactive ‘Sound Personalization’ mode, developed in collaboration with the Hearing, Speech and Audio Technology department at the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology. This mode utilizes advanced analysis of user reactions to benchmark sound samples, intelligently calibrating a custom audio profile based on the individual’s ear response. The result is a personalized sound profile for music, podcasts, and calls experienced through the Sennheiser headphones.
These updates not only enhance the listening experience but also contribute to the longevity of the headphones. By providing quality-of-life updates, Sennheiser aims to ensure that users remain satisfied with their devices in the long term, gradually improving the overall user experience over time.
The Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless headphones have received acclaim for their comfort, detailed sound quality, and impressive 60-hour battery life. The addition of EQ customization options further enhances the appeal of these over-ear headphones, solidifying their position as one of the best choices in the market.
While true wireless earbuds face limitations in reproducing the same sound quality as over-ear headphones due to their compact form factor, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless range has managed to excel in delivering quality sound and Hi-Res audio support. Although they come with a relatively higher price tag for true wireless earbuds, the added functionality provided by the firmware update is a welcome bonus for those who invested in the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless models.
With the firmware update and expanded personalization options, Sennheiser continues to demonstrate its commitment to providing users with a superior audio experience and ensuring customer satisfaction in the long run.
