I recently picked up the Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones, seeking a balance between professional-grade audio and personal versatility. After using them extensively for work, podcasts, gym sessions, and entertainment, I can confidently say these headphones meet (and exceed) expectations in many ways. Here’s my take: Sound Quality The Momentum 4 shines across the board: Highs: Crisp and balanced, these headphones effortlessly handle atmospheric tracks while maintaining richness and neutrality on more energetic tunes. The highs are detailed without being harsh. Mids: Vocals are consistently clear and focused, no matter the genre. While there’s a slight recession in the lower mids and a delicate touch in tonal shifts, this neutrality ensures vocals and instruments never feel overshadowed. It’s an ideal choice for those who appreciate a clinical and polished sound signature. Bass: If you love bass, the Momentum 4 will impress. The sub-bass packs a punch, delivering a visceral experience. Despite its depth, the bass remains textured and never overwhelms the mids or highs, making it both exciting and refined. Imaging: While instrument separation is excellent, directional clarity could be sharper. Vocals are precise, but subtle shifts in instrument staging can feel less noticeable in complex tracks. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) In a noisy office, the Momentum 4 is a lifesaver. Constant background rumbles are effectively eliminated, but sharp, sudden noises occasionally break through. Interestingly, the ANC’s effectiveness improves slightly when facing the noise source—an odd but minor quirk. Comfort and Fit Comfort is subjective, but the Momentum 4 does a solid job: The plush padding makes them comfortable for long listening sessions, though the fit is a bit tight around the neck when not in use. The earcups rotate well, providing a secure and adjustable fit that works for extended wear. Battery Life and Features Battery life is a standout feature, far outlasting competitors with an incredible lifespan. The quick-charging USB-C functionality is a lifesaver for busy schedules, and the ability to power them off manually is a thoughtful touch. Feature-wise, they strike a balance between simplicity and functionality: The basic EQ and ANC controls are effective and intuitive. The sidetone feature is a small but appreciated addition for calls, and the auto-pause functionality works seamlessly. While not overloaded with extras like spatial audio or deep app integration, the essential features are well-executed, and the app—while sometimes buggy—is user-friendly enough. Design Is understated and utilitarian. While they won’t turn heads, their discreet design makes them perfect for both professional environments and casual outings. Personally, I appreciate this “keep-it-simple” approach, even if it lacks a premium feel. Conclusion Momentum 4 delivers exceptional audio quality, impressive battery life, and practical features, making them a great choice for both work and leisure. While they aren’t packed with flashy extras, their focus on performance and reliability makes them a standout option. Whether you’re drowning out office chatter, enjoying a podcast, or diving into a bass-heavy workout playlist, the Momentum 4 adapts seamlessly. The ability to switch seamlessly between two devices is amazing to me. I need not have to mess about with the settings on my laptop or phone for them to automatically connect. For anyone seeking headphones that balance professional needs with personal versatility, these are hard to beat. 11 people found this helpful

Having upgraded from version 2 of the Momentum headphones, which lasted a commendable 10 years, I have high hopes for the longevity of this model. The sound quality remains familiar but now offers customisation through an app, making adjustments both intuitive and personal. Charging is now easier and quicker, a big plus for those always on the move, and the feel on the head has been slightly refined for better comfort. Battery life has been extended, promising even longer listening sessions than before, which is ideal for extended use. The design not only looks good but feels durable, suggesting these headphones will stand the test of time just as their predecessor did. Conclusion: Given the durability of version 2 and the improvements in this model, I can wholeheartedly recommend these headphones. They combine the reliability of the past with new conveniences, making them an excellent choice for anyone looking for quality audio gear that lasts. Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

These headphones sound phenomenal and are extremely comfortable and for that are a clear 5* rating. I personally would drop a star for the touch controls. The controls generally seem to work fine except for volume control, which is hit and miss. But as I only use these for music and nothing else, the sound and comfort is 5* (the other controls generally seem to work OK). ***IMPORTANT***: When I first tried the headphones I was NOT impressed. The Bass was to overpowering, and due to an only 3 band EQ could not compensate for the over pronounced Bass! I was on the verge of sending them back, when a firmware update appeared! After the 20min update…. WOW! Not only had the 3 band EQ changed to a 5 band EQ, but the Bass issue was resolved! So now the EQ remains flat and natural. For Bass lovers there is a ‘Bass Boost’ as well as standard presets. I previously had the Momentum 2 earbuds which was exceptional and similar sound to these Momentum 4s in sound signature. Obviously as the Momentum 4s are closed headphones they trump the Momentum 2 earbuds. Unfortunately one the earbuds stopped working and I replaced them with the Momentum 3 earbuds. Unfortunately I felt these a downgrade from the Momentum 2 earbuds! Although a more snug fit, they failed on everything else! The sound wasn’t a crystal, they let to much sound in spoiling my listening pleasure… and the Momentum 2s looked more pristine. I hated the fact the Momentum 3 earbuds let to much sound in! My kids are always arguing etc and my sanity required to jump from earbuds to closed headphones! I love Sennheiser, but the Momentum 3s had me wondering if I would continue with Sennheiser. I did all the usual reviews etc and the Momentum 4s seem to have the ‘overall’ edge, with a resounding winner for sound. As I consider myself an Audiophile and don’t care about phone calls etc, I only wanted for my Flac Library. So in short: The sound is phenomenal providing you ***DOWNLOAD the Firmware***! I also am taken aback by the comfort as the ear pads are so soft! These headphones may not be for everyone due to the touch controls and possible phone and other functions etc which I am not personally interested in. If like me, you only want for music… they are 5*, and I am pleased… no, VERY PLEASED I get a break from my arguing kids! ***UPDATE*** This is an ANC update. I didn’t mention this before as I hadn’t used them outside and the Momentum 2 earbuds only worked slightly and the M3 earbuds let so much noise in I had given up! Now back to these Momentum 4s…. I am BLOWN AWAY with the ANC! for the first time I feel like I can post a positive review on ANC. I suspect a lot of the positives are due to the headphone being ‘closed’, but I still think I need to give credit to how they function. So inside, the music is full whilst allowing enough sound in to acknowledge a doorbell etc… just. But I think the quieter the music, the more outside noise you would here. NOW THEN…. This is where I am truly impressed! I use the Momentum 4s to walk my dog on my mobility scooter. It is absolutely surreal how the ANC works. Despite the music being full (and I don’t mean volume) and in your head… I can still hear passing traffic whilst the music still feels complete and uninterrupted! Also a brush of wind and the ANC automatically adjusts to compensate and cut wind sound down instantly by around 90% to unnoticeable! Sorry I can’t compare to other brands, but as an Audiophile I am beyond pleased and so glad I jumped to closed headphones. (I just preferred the discreteness of earbuds) 35 people found this helpful

I only had it few days, using it in the office and at home. To sum up my experience so far: Good + Sound quality, even on wireless mode. Very good reproduction, especially at this price tag, it’s really the only reason I didn’t return it yet + Soundstage, fairly impressive for headphones + Can use DAC when connected via wire (many wireless headphones have internal DAC that can’t be bypassed) — sound quality can get significant boost this way <3 + Build and materials — it's really nice, especially at price + Case, including materials Problems: - Connectivity is VERY problematic. I got spoiled with Apple AirPods in the past and forgot how bad most wireless headphones are. I'd suggest never use it with more than one device - ANC is not great, definitely doesn't block office noises completely (but better than none for sure) - Touch controls are nowhere near as nice as physical ones and countless times I pressed it accidentally. I turned them off because they don't do what I want and do what I don't… Sound quality is the only reason why I didn't return them yet, but still didn't make final decision. If you value sound above else, at low price tag, this may be good for you. If you need goof connectivity and ANC, probably look elsewhere.

I have owned the Momentum 2’s for many years and love them. But, after the battery started to fail and took over 8hrs to charge I decided to upgrade. Here are my thoughts: Sound – Really good, but different to the 2’s. Took some time to get used to but I really like the sound now. Battery – Amazing. 60 hours is huge and makes such a difference not having to charge so regularly. Comfort – The 2’s were great but these are on another level. Can wear for hours on end without getting hot or ever feeling uncomfortable. Look – The 2’s looked amazing with the ivory colour. These look ok, but do not stand out. Build quality is excellent. No creaking on mine. Controls – I hate the touch controls and miss having a button to adjust the volume. If adjusting, then it is easy to activate a control. Changing the volume is hit and miss. I have turned touch controls off as they are too unreliable. It would be good to switch just some of the controls off and just have volume, or have the ability to change via the app. Maybe having less controls would help it work better. Connectivity – multiple devices works fine. I’ve had no issues but it niggles me that when you connect, you get a lovely voice that tells you it has connected, but when you connect a Bluetooth device, a lady from Essex tells you it is connected. It is so wierd they use different voices for different announcements. All in all a great pair of headphones but I wish Sennheiser would address some minor niggles. 16 people found this helpful

I’ve had these for over a year now, I was wanting to wait to review to ensure they lasted for this price point. My partner also has a pair which he got at the same time, and his views mirror my own. I am thoroughly impressed. The sound cancelling works a dream, I often put them on with nothing playing just to zone out and the noise cancelling feature is really solid. Personally, I’ve had no concerns with Bluetooth connectivity – I’ve found that it connects well every time. I can see this has been a problem for others. The battery life is insane, I barely find myself charging these and when I have too, it doesn’t take long to reach full charge. The fit of the headphones is comfortable, adjustable sizing. The look gorgeous too, very neutral. Value for money wise I do think these are worth it, they’re solid, nice carry case, good sound quality. The app available makes customising the settings easy too, very user friendly interface. One person found this helpful

At first I felt these headphones were a mixed bag of tricks. I had read other reviewers had problems but having an earlier Sennheiser model and being familiar with their app I hoped for the best. However it took ages to get going. The on off control is tricky – to get a bluetooth connection the on button must be pressed till the lights flash rapidly. It’s also hard to tell if it’s really switched off. I then had a nightmare trying to connect to the Sennheiser App. My older set connects to both the app and bluetooth in seconds and works brilliantly but the Momentum 4 took me the best part of an hour plus another thirty minutes to install a firmware update. The problem I had, I think, was I initially tried connecting using a Fire10 tablet and the App just didn’t like it. As a last attempt I tried the Fire Max 11 which worked at once. I then then downloaded the update by which time I had had enough electronics for one very stressful evening. The next morning I tried again with the Fire 10 and all was well. It seems the update resolved issues connecting to the App but unless you have another device or can find another way to update it’s frustrating. Sennheiser do say their App is designed for phones primarily and do offer support with tablet related problems but in the event I didn’t need to contact them. Since that first attempt I have had absolutely no problems with connection at all on any of the three devices I use. The Sennheiser sound is superb on the Momentum 4. I very much like the Sound Check system which helps to establish your personal presets by offering several sets of three settings – you select your preferred out of each set. I like a wide range of music including jazz, opera, rock, metal and in a few minutes was able to save settings for each genre. I had done this before with my older Sennheiser with great success but the sound on this newer set is brilliant. Unlike other reviewers I like the app. Once you find your way round it it’s easy to use and the online manual is comprehensive and clearly written. There is only one button on the Momentum 4 much to my relief – and as I have said that one needs a bit of learning to operate effectively. Other controls are by touch and these work extremely well – swipe up and down for volume, touch for stop start etc. Unless you are committed to buttons this is a great improvement. The set is extremely comfortable with a neat flat appearance. I have noticed no clicking or creaking noises and no heat to my ears. It stays connected even when I move around a lot and stops as soon as removed from the head. The case is well designed with room for cables and guidance notes. I have used the set for about 40 hours so far, battery is still 50% charged. Noise Cancellation is easy to adjust on the app or the headphone touch control and seems good although I am in a quiet room. I haven’t tried a phone connection as I am in an area where mobile reception is appalling. Overall I am very happy but more comprehensive guidance notes in the initial paperwork would have saved me a frustrating hour – but I say that about anything new!! If your primary wish is great sound at a medium price this is a wonderful buy. But be ready to take time to establish connections and don’t miss the update. 27 people found this helpful
