MOMENTUM 4 Wireless

It has been a year since I bought this, I was a bit disappointed when I received it first but now I absolutely love it. ANC is not great, but it is sufficient for use in environments as loud as an AC train. In flight ANC is not great, can definitely hear the engines a lot. Comfort is ok, the Momentum 4 is heavy compared to Sony XM series, and has more clamping force as well, but the headphones feel well built and has great battery life (I am regularly getting 50+ hours with high res audio). The product is somewhat outdated by todays standards, but the sound quality holds up still, and is worth it for 20k or less during sales.

PLEASE READ MY FULL EXPERIENCE Using it for more than 2 years daily , Previously using ath-M50X Pros : 1) Excellent Battery life- (not charged it more than 20 times in 2 year, always NC On -> meaning very good battery life over years) 2) Audio Quality over Bluetooth- Iphone stuck to AAC but still quiet decent and crisp, very clear bass(really low deep bass) , decent instrument separation , highs are also decent . Try Lorde's Pure Heroin album 3) Audio Quality Wired : Now it's a game changer as it is THE ONLY HEADPHONE WHICH CAN PLAY LOSSLESS OVER USB C and using mac I even don't need any amp 4) App : significantly improved and now it's flawless. 5) Equaliser : If you want to tweak its signature you can do it easily(5 Bands) 6) Noise Cancellation : easily handles Flight, City noise, Weird Neighbours 7) Bluetooth: Excellent range, 3 BHK house no problem at all + 2 Devices connected at same time 8) Call : No complaint over call by 2nd person ever 9) Comfort : 6-7 hours daily (Music + Podcast ) , very comfortable 10) PS5/TV/other Device: No lag in gaming(Connect it to Controller) or TV or Laptop 11) Rivalry: Best in segment-> Audio quality LOSSLESS + Biggest battery + decent NC (Deadly Combo) Cons: Just Nitpicking 1) Noise Cancellation: If your GF scream at you, it cannot handle it , THE TRUTH , Wished lil bit more NC HEADPHONE BUYING and USING GUIDELINE : 1) Only buy if you really love listening to music + Invest in best Music app (LOSSLESS) Apple Music 2) Headphone can't be used for exercise,Long travel -> sweat + Fast head movement + unhygienic, Use Earbud 3) Tweak EQ according to your taste 4) For long hour listening, be in AC room and also take break to rest your ears 5) For best experience-> keep calm ,low lights ,Comfortable Sitting ,Eyes closed,Only listening and no work nothing Nutshell: After using only professional headphones and studio monitors, I was lacking colour of Consumer products and it gave me what I was missing. I have tried SONY, BOSE but picked this just for audio quality, battery life and Comfort. JUST GO FOR IT

Total value for money and the deal Amazon gives you makes it even sweeter. Sound quality is off the charts and active noise cancellation along with the comfy over the ear design that already envelopes your ear without any constraint whatsoever gives you the perfect listening experience. But the battery was the biggest surprise, quick to charge and lasts a looooong time like I can go on and on with listening using it for days and still have enough left in the tank. The ease of connectivity to all my devices be it mobile, tv or gaming console is beyond words

Pretty good. The best part is the battery length which is insane and a blessing as many has commented. As for music/sound quality this headset is capable and the quality will also depend on your source, codec(not much), tuning(eq), sound personalization etc. The default tuning is dull for my liking but if you play with sound personalization in their app you can get them to produce good sound quality to your preferences. Initially i had some loudness problem. The headphones felt quite low(relatively) in volume. Then figured out that you may need to play around by reducing phone volume and making headphones volume max by pressing the touch buttons and then increase phone volume etc. Now they sound powerful enough. Also the usb c to usb c may not play as powerful as usb c to usb A or simply via bluetooth. But i mostly use bluetooth. So i don't mind much. I dont use this as a microphone or for teams meeting etc.However in a couple of occassions when i got some phone calls could communicate fine without any issues. Cons(personal) Turning them on/off is a bit tricky. Hence many time when i am listening to bt audio in other headphones these connect automatically if in vicinity and audio plays through them instead of the device i am wearing. Perhaps i havent turned on the setting to make them automatically turn off if idle from app. Also in rare random occassions i have found that even if i have turned off touch controls in the app the headphones still change noise cancellation/transparency on accidentally press etc. Comfort - Ears used to pain initially upon long wearing as i have bigger ears and ear cups although had cushions werent large enough for me. But now i dont have problem and ears have got used to it and comfortable. Noise cancellation is average. That shouldn't be the reason to buy this. Reasons should be audio quality and battery life. About codecs/lossless Note, i mainly use a Samsung phone with just normal aptx support and they often sound better than when i listen via aptx adaptive in my motorola phone. Similarly i have btd 600 dongle and honestly i dont find it necessary to purchase an extra dongle even if you just have a Samsung. They sound fine and difference could be negligible if only you can even notice. When I connect these with wires(usb c or 3.5mm aux cable) in phone they don't sound that great compared to bluetooth. However if i connect to laptop with usb c to usb A they sound excellent with lossless quality from apple music etc.

Superb for audiophile quality audio. The Equalizer is a greatly functional feature on the app. Such nice clarity of every instrument and vocals, never possible with other brands (I am an audiophile, can even be called an audio-freak, as I own over 10 bluetooth headphones, earbuds and neckband). For people who consider sound quality, this is the top pick Pros: 1) Top tier clarity(you can differentiate every instrument) 2) Very High fidelity of sound(you'll feel the sound, you'll be able to tell this is how it should sound) 3) Versatile across majority genre. Very balanced Soundstage. 4) Moderate Bass, that too controllable(I dislike high bass, but it's bass is beautiful) 5) Great Equalizer function (I turned down the bass using this, and I love the function) 6) Great Battery Backup Cons: 1) Poor ANC compared to the price point (even Sony's WHCH720N has equivalent ANC level) 2) Comfort is not upto the mark. Heavy, and slightly higher clamping force. Not unbearable, but better possible (in fact Bose and Sony are master in comfort). 3) Not as high end feature loaded as Sony WH1000XM5. 4) Doesn't support LDAC; aPTX adaptive is the one I am using.

Pls avoid..if you are buying this to be used on TV. I have jabra..but wanted the sophisticated sound signature of a Sennheiser. AI tools rated this better than bose and sony. While the android ios handshakes are on...the bluetooth is stubborn and won't let go a connection easily. Tried every setting and they are giving a useless btd 600 dongle free which is best used for windows devices. Not sure why would I want to use a helmet sized headphone in virtual meetings. The app is also not useful. I however like the brand as I do have IEMs from them and I like the German design of the momentum as well. No point of a multipoint capability if you can't connect to a device. And on your good day..it will connect promptly ..but without the audio output.

Was split between these and sony xm5, glad that I bought these. Pros Great overall sound quality. Can't expect any less from Sennheiser. Weather you are listening to instrumental or heavy metal or just watching a movie, these headphones can deliver a good listening experience. The bass on this is something I didn't expect to be this good. I felt at this price point the sound might be more refined and deliver a very flat sound signature where you can clearly descern between every frequency. And these headphones do do that. But if you want it to the bass can kicks if you want it to. And it can do it without compromising mids and highs. I have quest vr. When I watch a movie on it with these headphones on and the bass cranked up its like I'm actually in a movie theatre with the bass thumping. Amazing battery life. I rarely find myself having to charge them and charging them doesn't take much time as well thanks to fast charging. It has great app that allows you to customise the sound however you wish. Cons The fit of the headphones is not very tight. This might be my problem as for someone with a bigger head may find it fine. I have smaller head, so I often find it slipping of my head especially when I am using it laying down. Also the earcups have leass travel. Even thoughh they cover the entire ear well a bigger earcup would have provided better passive noise cancellation. Not a huge fan of touch controls. Because of the fact that it has a huge touch surface there is very good possibility that you might accidentally touch it. You can disable the touch controls from the app, but then you have no way of controlling the media playback. I always prefer physical buttons over touch controls. The on ear detection is fine but not great. You move the headphones a little bit the sensor engages and stops the playback. Again you can disable this from the app. And it might be an issue on my headset. Also I think they should include the sensor on both sides rather than just right or left. Noise cancelling is weaker compared to other headphones at this price point. Although this might not be an issue if something is playing on them. Final verdict With all the cons mentioned, they can be overlooked thanks to its amazing sound quality. At this price range the are the best headphones you can buy. Unless you prefer noise cancellation then go for sony xm5.

The sound quality on these pair of headphones is top notch. The noise cancellation works wonderfully. I took them on an 18 hour long flight wore them continuously without any discomfort. They fit well on my head. They pair perdectly with the app and the band EQ on these lets you really fine tune them and make them really easy to use as a first timer. The build quality is absolutely fabulous. These headphones when paired with a BTD 700 dongle make them even better! These are better than my WH1000XM6 and in the league of the apple airpods max! Would recommend anyone who is looking for a pair of high quality wireless headphones at a good price.
