- Stellar batter life
- Crystal clear microphone on calls
CONS
- Headphones un-pause often while wearing around neck
DESIGN + COMFORT
First, the basics. The Momentum 4s come in a hard shell carrying case. The case has an invisible zipper, giving the case a clean look. Inside the case there is a mesh pouch and elastic holders to keep the 3.5mm headphone cable, airplane adapter, and USB-C cable tidy.
Overall, the design is attractive, but a departure from the Momentum 3s and the models before it. Gone is the metal and exaggerated features for a more modern and what I assume a more widely appealing look, however the headphones now mostly blend in a sea of similarly designed headphones. While I won’t call it a “con” of these headphones, it’s okay to be different. That being said even with the additional plastic in this progression of the Momentum line, these are still obviously premium headphones. The ear cups are clean and smooth to give ample space for the new touch controls. This smoothness is contrasted with a graphite-colored cloth along the outside of the headband which has a obviously dialed in head clamping force, something that Sennheiser has perfected over the years. The foam along the inside of the headband is firm but supportive, while the ear cups is soft and comfortable allowing these headphones to be worn for hours on end.
CONTROLS + PORTS
Most of the controls as I mentioned are now touch on the right ear cup with the exception of a power button. A tap will play/pause, swipe forward/back to skip/restart. The Momentum 4s have an adaptive ANC which adjusts to the environment around you, but if you have this disabled you can adjust how much of your surrounding environment is blocked out by “pinching” or “zooming” on the touch controls. Additionally, with a quick double tap you can switch between maximum noise cancelation and full transparency mode if you are wanting to have a conversation with a person without having to raise your voice.
One issue that I did have was with the head detection feature which utilizes "wear" sensor to detect when the cups are over your ears to automatically play/pause audio. The audio sometimes un-pauses with the headphones around my neck, which can be annoying in the middle of a conversation. I believe this is due to the clamp force causing the ear cups to touch which it then interprets as being on your head. This is definitely not a deal breaker so for now I have disabled this feature and I just play and pause manually. Sennheiser has been issuing new firmware updates so I'll be checking back to see if this gets fixed.
APP
The application is your place to tweak and enhance your Momentum 4 experience and there is quite a bit to unpack. The obvious inclusions are the equalizer and connectivity settings when you can manage up to two simultaneously connected devices. Sennheiser even provides a “Sound Check” feature giving you a guided method to select from different samples which sounds the best and then produce its recommendation of what equalizer settings you should use.
In addition to the touch controls to select the level of noise cancelation you can adjust this through the application as well. And if you want to have certain settings in certain geographic areas, Sennheiser has you covered there too. By creating a Sound Zone you can adjust ANC and equalizer settings when entering and leaving a location automating how your headphones work when driving or traveling from your home to your office in the mornings and afternoons.
Finally, Sidetone allows a mic monitoring like feature which passes your voice through the mic to the headphones when on a phone call, this is especially helpful to avoid something that I’m often guilty of, which is talking on the phone loudly when my headphones are on and the ANC is turned all the way up.
SOUND
And how do the headphones sound? In my opinion these headphones default setting is extremely well balanced to begin with, but I finally settled on -2,-2,+2 as my EQ settings. I listen to a mix of genres from Pop, Country, Rock, and Hip-Hop and thought the Momentum 4s provided adequate thumping bass, dynamic mids and crystal clear highs for a highly immersive audio listening experience.
And on the other end the microphones sound great too! I work in an environment (data center) that has loud but pretty consistent sound and the noise canceling microphones are able to nearly eliminate the noise for the people on the side of the line to hear me clearly as well as block out the noise so that I could enjoy my music and not the buzz of computers and fans around me. Is the ANC perfect? No, it's very close to being on par with other brands and does a great job for 95% of peoples' day-to-day lives.
Finally, the last great thing about the Momentum 4s is the stellar battery life that lasts over 2 days (60 hours total) and blows many other competitors out of the water. I must emphasize that the battery life is with ANC enabled, so you get a great experience the entire time you're using the headphones without compromising. I’m usually one that forgets to charge their headphones, so this is a game changer for me as I can go a week sometimes on a single charge now.
SUMMARY
Overall the Momentum 4's while featuring a more typical design differentiate themselves in usual Sennheiser fashion with stellar sound and battery life, while introducing new intuitive touch controls and app features. Toping that off with a great pair of microphones for phone calls and an improved ANC experience, the Momentum 4s are definitely worth your consideration if you are familiar or even new to the brand.

These are good headphones, but not for the price. Side by side with my Beats, I don't see a big difference. The app can be very buggy / lagging at times. I wish I saved for a little longer and purchased AirPod Max's or the Sony Headphones. The long battery life is the biggest plus for these headphones.

Nice look, not the best quality audio wise (i might be picky). I like bass, but it must be clear, not muffled. These felt so muffled. perhaps its the ANC experience that I just don't like? who knows. overall, good but not for me, i had to return back to bestbuy
