Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones - Bluetooth Headset for Crystal-Clear Calls with Adaptive Noise Cancellation, Up To 60HR Playtime, Folding Design, Black/Copper

TL:DR While they may have some idiosyncracies, they are totally worth learning to manage as the sound, battery, and general functionality is excellent I've been using these for the past 5 months and can honestly say they are one of the best pairs of headphones I've used in a VERY long time. While they might not be "perfect" in all areas, they are excellent in enough to assuage the issues. The sound quality via bluetooth is absolutely EXCELLENT, they have a -very- wide soundstage compared to a fair number of bluetooth headphones I have tried, and also have a very clean, separated sound, all the elements are clear and distinct to the point I've heard things in songs and videos that I had not before even listening through my monitor set up. I've not tried them wired, where they could be even better because the BT is so good (YMMV I spend time shaping the EQ in the app which is well worth the time) Battery life is top tier, I wear them while commuting and on breaks, and often wear them of an evening connected to my PC and seem to only have to charge them every few weeks. They also have a neat function were they pause the music when you take them off and seem to go into sleep mode until you put them back on They can be connected to multiple devices, although this is where some minor issues start to appear. I have mine connected to my phone and my pc via a bluetooth dongle - unless you don't manually put the headphones to sleep using the power button, you can sometimes have devices register a connection to the headphones, which can pause things you're listening to through speakers. They come with a sturdy headphone case that has spaces for, and includes, relevant cables e.g. USB and headphone, and the headphones fit very nicely in to it, which is useful as they do not fold in any way. They are portable with some planning.. or a thin neck I guess! The touch controls are a great idea and work really well in principle... but as alluded to I have a thick neck, and it is tremendously easy to "press play" on the earcap with my chin 😅Also the double tap for ANC doesn't register as well as it should, but the increasing/decreasing ANC motion does. There is an app that seems expected to get, but is also totally worth the download. Has its own equaliser to be configured, as well as other ANC controls, being able to configure sound zones using the ANC microphones and others beside. I got them with a fairly good discount in a sale, but would not have been disappointed if I had paid full price

After having used these for nearly 2 years i can safely say that they're the best wireless headphones I've tried, beating out similarly priced Sony's, and a family members Bose headphones. Of course, as it comes to a product like this.. it's purely just my opinion. The app that you can download from Sennheiser is simple and easy to use, giving you the ability to mess around with the EQ or set it to some of the preset ones in the app. The best option for me is the ability to turn off touch controls completely. I'm clumsy and I'm constantly brushing against the right ear cup so that was a huge boon for me. Noise cancelling is good, and gives me less of a... pressure feeling inside the ear cups. It does take some fiddling to set it up right though. On the highest setting wind seems to get through a little bit. but setting it to roughly 3/4 lowers the wind noise while still delivering on cancelling out other noises. The last point i want to touch on is the customer support from Sennheiser. The left ear cup developed a slight ticking noise when NC was on. I filled in the short form and sent it off. I got a reply within 30 minutes giving me instructions on how to ship it to them for repair. Everything was free, and fast. They got my pair at roughly 8AM and by 5PM the same day they had sent me out a brand new pair. So overall i'm happy with the product, and happy with the company.

The Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless headphones bring significant upgrades to Sennheiser's premium line, competing directly with top-tier noise-canceling headphones from brands like Sony and Bose. Controls: The MOMENTUM 4 employs intuitive touch controls on the ear cups for play/pause, volume adjustments, and track navigation. Sennheiser has also included wear-detection sensors, pausing playback when you remove the headphones and resuming when you put them back on. Connectivity and App Integration: Equipped with Bluetooth 5.2, the MOMENTUM 4 offers a reliable, high-quality connection. The Sennheiser Smart Control app provides customization options, including EQ settings and a sound personalization feature that adjusts based on your listening preferences. Battery Life: With a remarkable 60-hour battery life (at moderate volume with ANC on), these headphones outlast most competitors in the category. Quick-charging provides about six hours of playback with just a 10-minute charge. Noise Cancellation (ANC) and Transparency Mode: The Adaptive Noise Cancellation is quite effective, especially in noisy environments like planes or public transport. Transparency Mode allows external sounds in, which is useful for conversations without removing the headphones. Sound Quality: Sennheiser is known for its audio fidelity, and the MOMENTUM 4 stays true to this legacy. It delivers a clear, balanced, and rich sound profile, which can also be customized in the app. Here’s a breakdown of its performance across sound characteristics: Bass: Deep, punchy bass without being overbearing, making it suitable for genres like hip-hop, electronic, and pop. Mids and Highs: Vocals and instruments are detailed, and highs are crisp without becoming harsh. This makes it ideal for everything from classical and jazz to rock. Soundstage: The MOMENTUM 4 has an impressively wide soundstage for closed-back headphones, allowing for excellent separation and positioning of sounds. The headphones also support high-quality codecs, including aptX Adaptive and AAC, which enhance sound quality over Bluetooth. Pros: Outstanding battery life (up to 60 hours) with fast-charging capabilities. Exceptional sound quality that’s clear, detailed, and customizable. Effective Adaptive Noise Cancellation that competes well with top ANC models. Comfortable and lightweight design, suitable for extended use. Stable Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity with support for high-quality codecs. Cons: Less distinctive design compared to previous MOMENTUM models, which may disappoint fans of the original look. Touch controls can be somewhat sensitive, occasionally leading to accidental triggers. ANC isn’t industry-leading; while it’s very good, it’s slightly less effective than Sony’s and Bose’s top models in extremely noisy environments. Final Verdict: The Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless headphones are an excellent choice for listeners who prioritize sound quality, comfort, and long battery life. They strike a great balance between premium audio performance and advanced features like ANC and transparency mode, making them versatile for daily use, travel, and dedicated listening sessions.

Excellent headphones so far. Just one day of use, but you can clearly see that this is top notch. Lot of features and battery is massive.Highly recommended.

Been down a rabbit hole and researching for about a month before deciding on the Sennheiser Momentum. Went to some local stores to try out all of the popular headphones but went in with a certain list of priorities (in order); 1) Sound Quality 2) Comfort 3) Portability 4) Noise Cancelling 5) Battery life Contenders on the list were: - Bose QC ultra: Amazing ANC, great portability, decent sound quality but a bit on the dull side. - Sony XM4 & XM5: Bassy but flat and muffled sound, great ANC and portability. Avoid the XM5 at all costs though, the hinges are a major design flaw. - Sennheiser Momentum 4: Blows everything else out of the water in terms of sound quality, same for the battery life. Not quite as portable as the QC ultra's and XM4s but comes with a great case nontheless. - B&W PX7: Didn't get a chance to try these out. Pro's; If you prioritise sound quality over anything else then it's an easy choice, nothing comes close to it in this price range. Track separation, bass, clear vocals... it's all there and it's an immersive listening experience. The ANC might not be as good as Bose or Sony but it's certainly nowhere near bad ANC performance. I recently brought these on multiple flights and trains with me and have 0 complaints. After having used Airpods Pro's for about 2 years I can confidently say that the transparency mode on the Momentums is pretty comparable too, which is a great thing. The controls (despite being touch) work surprisingly well but keep in mind that fingerprints are pretty visible on the black versions. As for the case it comes with, it looks a lot larger on the product page than it actually is in person. It's also very sturdy and packs some smart features which have worked flawlessly so far. When it comes to battery life... well it's probably the best on the market right now and almost feels like a challenge to drain it. If you don’t need the absolute best ANC on the market and want something that just objectively sounds better than any other consumer headphone in the €300 range, then the Momentums are a clear winner.

I bought used and I'm not disappointed. The seller posted an accurate description. As for the headphones themselves, I completely love them. I used Sony's XM4s before this, until the noise canceling decided to go haywire. I've also used the newer XM6s from Sony. In terms of noise canceling, the Momentum 4 isn't bad. But if you directly compare to the XM6, it's very obvious that Sony is at the top in that department. With the Momentum 4, you can experience a separation from the environment, but things like loud trucks, train rumble, etc will likely bleed through at normal listening volumes. I'd say it's acceptable noise canceling, and certainly I wouldn't call it bad. Just not as good as Sony. Sound-wise though, I just love the Sennheiser. They sound fuller with clearer separation between lows, mids, and highs. Wider general soundstage as well. I wouldn't consider myself an audiophile by any means, but the difference is clear. Sennheiser just has a better sound imo. Style-wise I think Sennheiser kills it here as well. Very classy, and I feel happy to wear them. I love the cloth headband. I use Sennheiser HD600s at home, and it's not a stretch to say that they have a similar sound. Obviously open back wired headphones and wireless noise canceling headphones can't be directly compared. But after trying some other headphones, I see myself sticking with Sennheiser for the foreseeable future.

Le Sennheiser Momentum 4 sono decisamente tra le migliori cuffie ANC sul mercato. Nettamente superiori alle Sony XM5 come qualità sonora. Inferiori nella cancellazione del rumore, ma non così distanti come tanti affermano. Le Sony vincono in ambiente "molto rumoroso", soprattutto per quanto riguarda la qualità dei microfoni in caso di chiamata, dove le M4 faticano un po'. Ma, in condizioni non estreme, offrono comunque una qualità sopra la media. L'ottimo codec AptX Adaptive permette di ascoltare musica in diversi scenari: HQ = Alta qualità, maggiore latenza (migliore di LDAC). Per ascoltare musica ad alta fedeltà con zero interruzioni e un bitrate sempre sempre piuttosto elevato. Invece di tagliare tutte le frequenze, AptX Adaptive ha un compressione dinamica "psicoacustica", comprimendo i suoni meno percepibili all’orecchio umano (soprattutto frequenze molto alte) e cercando di mantenere intatte le medie (voci, strumenti comuni) e bassi. LL = Media qualità, bassa latenza (nettamente migliore di LDAC). Ideale per film e videogiochi. Dove il codec LDAC è inaccettabile in certi scenari, AptX Low Latency offre un ottimo compromesso tra qualità e latenza, direi impercettibile. Se siete videogiocatori e volete usare le Cuffie su PC o Console per gaming (non competitivo, altrimenti meglio il cavo a zero latenza), oppure volete guardare film o serie TV sul divano senza ritardi, AptX Adaptive è il codec giusto. Rispetto alle B&W Px7 S2e, a mio parere, offrono una migliore qualità sonora generale. Grazie a un EQ a 5 bande completo (contro le sole 2 bande della S2e) e l'EQ dinamico "Sound Personalization", per "affinare" in modo più ampio la qualità sonora secondo il gusto personale, è possibile sfruttare al meglio gli ottimi driver da 42mm di Sennheiser (leggermente superiori a quelli da 40mm di Px7 S2 e S3, e nettamente migliori dei piccoli driver da 30mm di Sony, comuni a tutte le sue varienti: XM4, XM5 e XM6). In un confronto diretto, a stento sono riuscito a sentire la differenza tra le Momentum 4 (in modalità Aptx Adaptive HQ) e le nuove B&W Px7 S3 (in modalità AptX Lossless). Queste ultime offrono un maggiore dettaglio sonoro, soprattutto nelle medio-alte frequenze, grazie anche al codec di qualità superiore. Ma le Momentum 4 reggono bene il confronto grazie a un soundstage ampio e spazioso e un suono caldo e morbido. Purtroppo, la qualità dei materiali non è al livello di Bowers & Wilkins (carrozzate con materiali Premium) e le M4 risultano più "plasticose", ma solide e accettabili (più delle fragili Sony XM5). Inoltre - ma è una questione di gusto personale - pur funzionando bene, i tasti "touch" possono essere più scomodi rispetto agli eleganti e semplici pulsanti fisici offerti dai modelli Bowers & Wilkins. I firmware più recenti hanno migliorato le prestazioni dell'ANC, rispetto alle vecchie recensioni che troverete sulla rete, risolvendo anche alcuni problemi di connessione riscontrati da alcuni in passato. Con questi piccoli miglioramenti, le M4 sono un acquisto eccellente, soprattutto se scontate. Comode e impeccabili da usare in molti diversi scenari.
