Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Noise-Canceling Wireless Over-Ear Headphones (Black)

It’s fair to say this isn’t what I expected. Sennheiser’s new Momentum 4 Wireless headphones mark a dramatic pivot away from the retro stylings of previous models. The genuine leather headband and stainless steel ear cup sliders that came to represent the Momentum line are now history.

• +

  Much-improved comfort, Better noise cancellation than before, Marathon 60-hour battery life

• -

  Terribly generic design, No more physical button controls, Headphones can power on unexpectedly

I have always enjoyed Sennheiser headphones, not because they are the most accurate (except perhaps the HD 800S ) but because they make treble sound so sparkling and refined without overly harsh or sibilant.

• +

  Retains the strong bass and bright treble signature while boosting the upper midrange for better, New pinch-zoom gesture allows ANC adjustments on the headphones, Comfortable and easier to maintain compared to previous models

• -

  Overall design lacks strong style, ANC not able to suppress as much upper frequency noises compared to Sony and Bose

The Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless are very good for commute and travel. These well-built headphones have over 60 hours of continuous playback time, and their fit is comfortable enough for long days on the go.

• +

  Comfortable fit and premium build., Over 60 hours of continuous battery life.

• -

  Struggle to block out the low rumble of bus and plane engines.

After three years, Sennheiser has finally updated their Momentum wireless headphones. And they do not disappoint.

• +

  First-class sound quality, better than others at the same price, Good comfort, and great battery life!

• -

  Moise reduction does not threaten the very best, Gets a bit hot over time, Only three-band EQ.

Every two years, Sennheiser updates its top over-ear model for the consumer market, the Momentum Wireless, with a new edition. Version 4, however, marks a watershed: The new Momentum 4 Wireless is not only the first Bluetooth over-ear under the aegis of Sonova Holding AG and Sennheiser’s licence (...

I had some high expectations for the Momentum 4 and since its initial teaser, it has become one of my most anticipated headphone releases this year. Now that I have spent a good amount of time with it, I feel confident saying that it is one of the best wireless headphones I have had the pleasure of...

An evolution of the old Momentum 3 design, the 4s offer a real plus in the 60 hour battery life and give something for other manufacturers to aim at. The on-ear controls are a delight to use and, there’s always that app if you feel so inclined.

Can the Sennheiser Momentum 4 ANC Wireless Headphones dethrone the mighty Sony WH-1000XM5?

Fortunately, the Momentum 4 are better than ordinary, even if they don’t look like it. They sound great, offer excellent battery life, and are quite comfortable. These are a formidable pair, even if they look rather ordinary. Don’t just this book by its cover.

• +

  Great comfort, Simple look that won't draw attention, Touch controls that really work, GPS-based adaptive noise cancellation is a handy addition, Staggering 50 hours of battery life, Comes with a hard-backed case and all the travel fix-ins!

• -

  Simple look might be too simple, Noise cancellation could be better, You probably won't remember the ANC controls

Sennheiser Momentum 4 BT, ANC over-the-ear headphones are great – vale Momentum 3

• +

  Durable and comfortable, 60-hour battery life, USB DAC for simultaneous charging and listening (few others have this), Modern style and carry case, Effective ANC

• -

  Lost the classic aesthetics of the Momentum 3, Does not fold inwards for travel

- I have to say, the Momentum 4 Wireless aren’t just a great sounding and performing headphone, they are one of Sennheiser’s best sounding and performing headphones! Not only do they improve upon the Momentum sound, they easily outperform even the legendary HD 600!

  • Built quality, clear sound and powerful bass, • Easy Bluetooth pairing, connect to two devices simultaneously, • Bluetooth 5.2 and low latency (40ms), aptX support, • Battery life (60 hours), charging time (2 hours for full charge), • Adaptive noise cancelling, • Rich sounding and decent...

  • Overpowering bass, bass bleeds (on iPhone), • The setup of Smart Control App for iOS devices are not as smooth as Android devices, • The pleather ear cups are not breathable and warm up quickly, • Ear pads require special mounting rings, • Ear pads do not accommodate larger ears, I miss the...

Great sound but the Sennheiser smart control app didn't work too well for me (maybe too complicated for me to use properly). The noise cancelling worked well but I'm used to open back headphones so any noise cancelling is a good thing.

• +

  sound, sound, and sound !

• -

  fits almost like an on-ear headphone rather than an over-ear headphone.smart control app is a bit compicated to use.

First NC headphones and love them...excellent NC performance for office work, and on a plane. Sound quality is outstanding, just for JUST a bit more opened soundstage but that comes with most NC cans. Build quality feels very high and the case is great!

These are neutral with a natural sound and great soundstage. Base is tight and not bloated, Highs are clear - but not sibilant , but the midrange is the star of the show. ....but you can't hear what I hear - give these a try, you won't be sorry.

Love the deep bass and the fact that I can hear every tiny sound of the art I'm hearing

The Momentum 4s take the great sound of the momentum line and massively improves the noise cancelling and the comfort.These cans have a lot of bass (too much for me) but respond extremely well to EQ, which is included in the Sennheiser app.

  Uninspired appearance compared to older models.

While these are comfortable, they are not as comfortable as my wired Meze 99's. The sound is good. I am happy with the sound and the noise canceling is much better than any NC I have had in the past. The controls work well.

  I see no cons

Very comfortable, build quality is solid, the sound is impressive with very nice mids. My only complaint is the noise cancelling is not as good as the Apple Airpod Max or the Sony XM4'S or the Bose QC45.

  noise cancelling not on par with Apple, Sony or Bose

Sound is very good, quality feel to overall product. Headphones could fit a little bit tighter - they move forward a little when I tilt my head downward. Battery charge life is excellent. Noise cancellation adjustability works very well. Overall very satisfied and highly recommend.

• +

  Balanced sound, app controls, noise cancellation and overall quality.

  Could fit a little tighter.

Don’t always work!!!?
