Thanks to its Transparent Hearing feature, MOMENTUM True Wireless gives listeners the option of blending ambient sounds into their listening experience for improved situational awareness, or to participate in conversations without removing the earphones.
A smart, connected wireless experience
MOMENTUM True Wireless offers effortless interaction with one's digital eco system by enabling direct voice access to smart assistants such as Apple Siri or Google Assistant. Be entertained, communicate, and stay informed - all via a simple tap of the intuitive touch interface and natural voice commands. Noisier environments present little challenge thanks to the two-mic-beamforming technology, which optimizes voice pick-up for crystal clear phone calls and voice assistant interaction. The MOMENTUM True Wireless experience can also be personalized via the free Sennheiser Smart Control app, allowing fine-tuning of the sound according to personal preference via the earphones' built-in audio EQ. Additionally, aptXTM Low Latency compatibility enhances gaming or video content by keeping audio transmission perfectly in sync with the visuals.
Enjoy true wireless freedom in style
MOMENTUM True Wireless has a 4-hour battery life that can be recharged via its compact case with integrated power bank for more than 12 hours of all-day enjoyment. Designed for a perfect fit and all-day comfort, the splash-resistant earphones have been meticulously crafted to offer a sense of timeless elegance and durability. On opening the fabric-wrapped case, one discovers finely sculpted earphones that have been beautifully finished with metallic details on the outer face as well as gold-plated charging pins and magnets.
MOMENTUM True Wireless is available for 299.95 USD (MSRP).

Madness
Also, the WF1000x costed 300 euros when they got out 2 years ago, so I don't really see the point on releasing this for 300 now when you can get the WFf1000x for 100-150, the jabra for 150-200 and if you want to be a big boy, the WH1000XM2 goes for 270-380 and the WH1000XM3 for 300-400. Unless they put in them some secret magic sauce that makes them sound similar to the Bose QC35 or something (and I really doubt that), this is just overpriced.
As for staying in the ear I don't have a problem, usually they come with cushions with different sizes. The only thing you have to be careful is when you rise your arm like for example when you are putting on a jacket or grabbing a side bag because you can hit them and can drop, I once almost dropped one in the street. I have been using them for 4 months now and I'm satisfied with them, the lack of cable makes things easier if you are commuting or working. In fact I want to buy the WH1000XM3 in next black friday or a sale and when someone decides to do a true wireless set with ldac and bt5 I'll buy them too. The good thing is ldac is baked on Android 9 by default so they will definetly make something like that at one point, and I want Sennheiser to get their shit together and do something nice already with bt because they still struggle to do anything worth mentioning. Once you go cableless is so comfortable you don't want to go back.
There's no argument from me that you can get better earbuds or even a headset for far less than a truly wireless option.
With Comply tips and just a little play/rotation after insertion they are comfortable and do the feel like they'd fall out.
The transparent mode is pretty neat, too. Being able to hear ambient/outside sounds is useful in a few situations and it's easily toggled (double tap right bud).
