Customer Ratings & Reviews

The sound is amazong but they are pretty quiet compared to bose

Great Product. Love this purchase. Good quality. Connection is great

Taking back keep dropping off blue tooth . They sound fantastic

I would like to start this quick review by saying that the headphones sounded spectacular and had bass for days, which I loved. Sadly, though, the fit just wasn't right for my massive mellon head anf thick glasses. Only other little niggle I'd point out is the ANC really isn't that great, even without my glasses on.

Looks nice, feels nice, comfort is great. I also own sony xm4's, better than those!

My son is using them for his podcast and they work great!

Had these for almost a year and had not disappointed at all.

Excellent fantastic technology Easley to use and enjoy

For the amount of hype these get, they’re honestly disappointing. The build quality and overall feel are somehow worse than Sony’s. Sound quality is underwhelming even with EQ, the padding feels like something from a $50 headset, and the ANC doesn’t come close to Bose or Sony. Expected premium… did not even get mid.

The best wireless headset ive ever owned. Would buy again.

The highs and lows are great, very good isolation with ANC, and great transparency mode. Lots of bugs with the smart connect app. Updating firmware was a hansel and kept freezing up. Using the 2 devices simultaneously kept causing static to happen from both devices audio. The comfort was not very good. The ear cups are pretty small even for my small ears. Overall it was good. Just wasn't for me

Exceeded expectations, better functionality and onboard controls than sony or bose.

I’ve tried all the options in this class from Bose to Sony to Bowers-Wilkins. These are my go-to.

Love the multi-device connectivity -- added with the great Sennheiser app, functionality, incredible sound, and ease of use, make this a very worthy competitor to (if not better than) Airpods Max, even for those looking for something outside of the Apple ecosystem to use within that ecosystem.

After doing extensive research on Bluetooth noise cancelling headphones, I selected the Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones due to their good sound range, nice minimal design, and outstanding 60 hour battery life. After narrowing down the choice of headphone to purchase, it was next time to decide where to buy the headphones. I was immediately drawn to the denim blue color, and there were only two choices from there Best Buy and Sennheiser’s own website. I decided to go with Bestbuy for convenience and the ability to pick up the headphones in a store near me. I waited until prices dropped for Black Friday, and made the purchase. Setting up the headphones was simple through the Sennheiser app and they paired to my phone in seconds. I explored the app a bit, but kept the sound EQ at the default setting for now. I haven’t worn them for a long stretch of time yet, but the Argus are pretty comfortable. The cushioning is the right mix of soft and shaped, and they just touch my ears a little. I find the controls of the headphones to be pretty intuitive for the most part. The pinching to adjust transparency takes some getting used to, but all the others are very quick to learn. I like not having to feel around to find a button, and I use the double tap feature to enable transparent mode all of the time. External sound comes through very clearly when the aware mode is on. The case, while a bit bulky, feels very secure in my hands. I know that the headphones will be safe in there, even in the most extreme of travel situations. I also like that every included accessory has a spot for it to fit in, and any additional accessories can slide into the mesh pouch. I also like that the headphones shutdown when they are placed back in the case. Finally I really enjoy the sound out of the headphones. The bass is nice and feels powerful but clean, and the mids and highs feel clear as well. They sounded good while watching a movie on my laptop too! To this day I still haven’t had to charge them since the initial charge. All in all I am very satisfied with the Sennheiser Momentum 4s. As a bonus a couple weeks after I bought the headphones, I noticed the price for my color dropped to a new low of 200 and I was able to get the price adjusted with a simple chat with Bestbuy’s support team.

Sound quality is amazing. Noise cancellation and transparency is ok. I did have the headphones power lock on me. I had turned them off manually and could not get it to turn back on until the next day. Was ready to bring it into best buy but then they started working again. Haven’t had a problem since. Again, sound quality is the best. Lows, mids, and highs are all great.

Works better than I expected! Automatic features are very impressive.

Great head phones great sound and bass love how understated it is

Overall good headphones. The EQ options on the app are Ok compared to the Sony MX5

The Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones are great, so long as you have the right requirements and expectations. Let’s look at them one area at a time. Design and Packaging: The first thing anyone familiar with the Momentum 3 headphones will notice is how ordinary these look. Gone is the quirky headband of the previous generation, replaced by standard ear cups and a grey fabric-covered band. This is a style, not functionality issue, so no points deducted, but I really prefer the very unique look of the Momentum 3. Now, it looks a lot like the competition. One of the most common uses of noise-cancelling headphones is to drown out the drone of commuting, be it bus, train, or plane. For me, commuting means a plane. A compact carrying case is a huge advantage. The Momentum 4s ear cups don’t flip toward the center of the band like Sony or Bose. This means the case is necessarily large. How large? I was able to get the headphones, charging cable, headphone cable, a pair of Bose Sleepbuds (with case), a pair of Jabra Elite 7 Pro headphones (with case), a small wallet, two rings, and a metal watch, and a small wallet in the case without any effort. This means that the case is really big for traveling. And this is one of the small things they missed. Connectivity: While the Momentum 4s do not have the complete suite of CODEC support found in the competing Sony, Bluetooth connectivity is still great. There’s no lag, so you can watch movies through Bluetooth without experiencing the dubbed movie syndrome. Strangely, where they messed up is in the audio cable itself. Unlike other over-the-ear headphones that use an easy-to-find mini-to-mini audio jack, Sennheiser decided to use a micro-to-mini audio jack. This means that you’ll likely have to carry an extra cable just for these headphones. And this is another small thing they missed. Fit and Comfort: The ear cups are smaller than the Sony or Bose but remain very comfortable, even on my large ears and head. The headphones are light enough to be worn for hours without feeling heavy or warm. The band slid forward slightly when I looked down at my tablet. When this happens, the noise cancelling sounds like it’s off because of a poor seal. Being aware of this allowed me to position the headband slightly differently, greatly reducing the issue. Charging and Battery: Using a standard USB-C cable, the Momentum 4 charges quickly and has a claimed battery life of 60 hours with ANC and Bluetooth on. This is amazing, and based on my usage so far, seems about right. If you really need more than this, using it with the audio cable instead of Bluetooth can significantly extend it, as can turning off the ANC. Calls: Calls are clear from both ends of the conversation, and the app allows you to control how much of your own voice filters into the headset for a more natural sound of your own voice. App: Of course, the Momentum 4 comes with its own APP. It’s a bit of a mess, representing the biggest thing Sennheiser messed up. The app is flaky, frequently requiring multiple restarts of the app and/or headphones to connect to the headphones. The equalizer has only three bands, not nearly enough to fine tune for your own listening preferences. On top of this, none of the bands is labeled or changeable. You can set up different profiles for specific listening environments, but this requires you to create an account and give them your email address, for no real reason other than they’d like to have your email address. Noise Cancelling: Noise cancelling is quite good, although not up to the level of the competing Sony or Bose. This is particularly true in the lower frequencies. Still, the difference between these three brands is relatively small, so it’s not a show-stopper. The ANC level can be adjusted, although I don’t understand why you would do this. Either you want noise blocked or you don’t. There is also an automated ANC mode, which is adaptive to your surroundings. While it works, it’s highly reactive; it’s not going to block that crying baby until after the first cry has already awakened you. I set mine at full ANC and turned off the auto mode. This works very well. Controls: There is a single switch on the headphones for power and pairing. All other actions are controlled using gestures over the right ear cup. Starting and stopping music is simple, as is volume and the call controls. The ANC level can be changed by pinching in or out. This is actually a bit annoying; sometimes fewer controls are better. Sound: This is where all the little issues are forgiven. You buy Sennheiser headphones for the sound, and these do not disappoint. Note that the Momentum 4 is part of the consumer, not audiophile, line. This means you’re not going to get the reference audio sound of some other Sennheiser models. For most people, this is a good thing, as the sculpted sound on the Momentum 4 is just beautiful, less harsh and more forgiving than a true reference headset. (I discovered quickly that you can turn down the bass for a more natural sound.) Bass notes are crisp and responsive. Recovery is fast, so there are no muddled lows. Every note is clear. The mid-range is likewise clear, and the highs are great. The harmonics are clean across the entire spectrum. Back-to-back comparisons with my Sony and Bose headsets allowed me to hear just how much cleaner the Momentum 4s sound. What is truly remarkable is how wide the sound stage sounds for a closed-back headset. While not as expansive as the venerable HD560S open-back, the difference with other closed-back headsets is quite noticeable. Conclusion: Yes, there are some small problems with the packaging, the audio cable, and the app. The noise cancelling is half a generation (or more) behind the leaders. But the sound is so glorious that I’m willing to find some more room in my backpack and put up with a bad app. Listen to them back-to-back with the competition. I’m betting it will be hard for you to go back to your previous headphones, too.
