Awesome sound quality. The app is a bit difficult to navigate while looking for certain functions, but does offer some nice adjustments that can enhance usability.

As someone who finally made the switch to the Sony XM5s from the Bose 700s Sennheiser has now went and made this decision even more difficult! It has been a couple years since Sennheiser had released a new pair of headphones, but the upgrades they have made from the Momentum 3 are greatly noticed and have them right on par with competitors from Sony and Bose at a lower price point none the less.
Firstly, I will say right out of the box I appreciated the design aesthetic as it was similar to competitors, but I liked the fabric on the headband is it makes them standout. The comfort is also exactly what you could ask for as I did not have any issues with extended periods of listening. The touch controls on the ear cup worked flawlessly and I have grown to like the touch controls as opposed to all the buttons as once you get the hang of the touch controls it is extremely convenient.
Moving onto the sound though this is where Sennheiser really blew me away. You constantly hear how Sony and Bose are superior, but I really think Sennheiser has outdueled them when it comes to actual sound quality in a normal environment here. I went back and forth between all three and played with the EQ on the app and actually find myself coming back to these now. I could try to explain it to you, but it is difficult to describe it as it is such a three dimensional sound that pushes through in how detailed and crisp it is. However, when it comes to the active noise cancellation it worked great when compared to nearly any other over the ear headphones though it didn`t quite match that of Bose and Sony in louder environments when I was out and about.
These headphones have some great features that I do want to touch on though. Firstly, the app (yes I know everyone has one now) works flawlessly and isn`t as complex as some of the others, but puts some key elements in focus and even allows you to hide various sections you don`t wish to see. It allows you to adjust the EQ and even has a sound check feature which is nice to try, adjust your active noise cancelation and transparency, and also control how much of your voice you hear on calls. There are a variety of things available with the app, but one that I really liked was the Sound Zones as this section allows you to create custom noise cancellation and EQ settings for specific locations (like your home, gym, or office) when you enter those zones using geo location. The other key features are the auto play/pause when putting on and removing the headphones and also the ability to connect to multiple devices. The final thing I have to mention that really stood out to me was the 60 hour battery life and fast charging as this just blew me away as it is nearly double that of its competitors!
Overall, you can`t go wrong with these headphones! The superior sound quality, noise cancelation, battery life, and app features really set it apart. Really when it comes to comparisons to Sony and Bose everyone is going to have their preferences, but for me I appreciate aesthetics, sound quality, and battery life to which these headphones are superior in my opinion. The noise cancellation may not be quite as strong as Bose and Sony, but I am not regularly in louder environments and even then the difference is nominal so for $50 less than its competitors I think this pair of headphones is my new go to recommendation for over-ear headphones.

Great quality headphones! I like craftsmanship and attention to the detail. Compact travel case, all possible necessary adapters and absolutely superb long lasting battery!

I've had these headphones for about a month now, and so far I haven't seen any reviews of these headphones from "audio experts" or anyone outside of the consumer tech sphere. I'm by no means an "expert," but I have tried my fair share of mid-fi/hi-fi headphones, DACs, and amps, so I feel that I can offer some perspective on these headphones that isn't necessarily available elsewhere.

These headphones are great I was looking at several different options and I’m so glad I chose these, without a doubt the best headphones I’ve ever bought.
