Customer Ratings & Reviews

These are probably some of the most comfortable headphones I've had. But I'd only recommend them for some specific use cases. They don't work great when plugging them into a PC. If you're running multiple audio applications at the same time (ie podcast/ music + game) the quality of the audio will be terrible. There also is sometimes a weird glitch where the noise canceling is turned off because the headphones for some reason think that you took them off. You have to kind of adjust the positioning over and over until the noise canceling stays on. There also is a weird glitch when using them for calls on my Mac, where they will randomly mute themselves when I'm in the middle of a sentence. Super frustrating to be having a conversation and then randomly hear "MUTE ON". Other than these issues, the sound quality and comfort is amazing. Battery life is also excellent. Great for travel and study but in other areas they're not great.

I bought these headphones last year and I like them. The sound quality is good and they are comfortable to wear. They work well for listening to music and studying. Overall, I’m satisfied with this purchase.

I bought these headphones 2 years ago during Black Friday and decided to finally write a reciew about them. Hesitant on exactly how many stars I should rate it, but ultimately decided on a middle 3 stars. These headphones are good, they sound great straight out of the box and you can use the app to tweak the EQ if you want (although recently I feel like the EQ settings aren’t really effecting the sound at all). But then comes the issues I’ve had with this headphone for the last two years. While Sennheisser makes incredible sounding products, the software and user experience on these are simply terrible and frustrating! I’ve had to turn off and on the headphones numerous times because of connectivity issues. My biggest gripe comes with the touch controls bring unresponsive sometimes, which causes the ANC and Transparent mode to not work (turning the headphones off and on fixes the problem sometimes, but the odds aren’t that great). Recently, I’ve had issues with the on-head detection too. Taking off the headphones doesn’t pause the music (and guess what, I can’t pause it with the touch controls because, well it’s unresponsive again). Toggling the on-head detection setting in the app doesn’t fix that problem. Overall, these headphones sound great, the battery life is incredible (I rarely charge these). But the overall user experience is just horrible, borderline unusable sometimes. If you’re looking for headphones just get the Sony WH1000XM4s or XM5s.

Great sound, a bit on the bassy side but not much. It’s about as neutral as you’d want from a consumer set of headphones. The app is amazing. Let’s you set your own EQ and save them as well. Sound zones are great as you can automatically set the sound profile based on location. The headphones feel and look premium. I wear glasses and so far no issues with comfort. Battery life is amazing and the case is premium. Overall a great purchase.

Best headphones I’ve ever owned. In terms of; - Battery Life - Sound Quality - Comfort - Build Quality For desktop connectivity I wouldn’t suggest Bluetooth but rather using the usb dongle that’s sold separately. The ANC(Active-Noise-Cancelling) could be better but not enough to knock any stars off.

As consumers were are usually all seeking contentment with our purchases. With that being said, below are my feelings comparing this to the Sony WH-1000XM5 (returned for SH M4). Though I want to preface by letting you know. I won't cover the phone apps on this review. Senn wins by default, as I kept the M4. So you will be in the ecosystem ready to go within 10 minutes. My usage is across my tv, pc and phone, within a 2 story middle apartment. Multi-connection is fantastic to boot. TLDR: Sony is flimsy feeling and corners were cut. No reason to upgrade over an XM4. Senn greets you with a big hug everyday. A long 60+ hour battery hug. Get lost in some audio, bump the BASS and pick up the PACE. Dolby Atmos does work well for those who care. Design/Build Quality/Sound/Case *Sony - A very bland and plastic look. Thin and shallow headband/earpads (recommend 3rd party earpads for Sony). So you might not have as much clamp force to spread out. Which for me as a even a bald person, becomes an issue within 15 minutes. As it feel the pad comfort start to fade and bottom out. So then you will feel the rim of the band and earcups. It was a major step back from the XM4. Feels more like a plastic pair of children's headphones. The earcups articulation is poor and limiting. Which further exacerbates the issue noted above. The better the articulation and balance/width of the headband. The wider array of customers you can appease. As for the sound and taking out their proprietary codecs and 360 software. They are an 8/10, less bass heavy. Even with EQ tweaks, they won't knock you off your butt. I prefer a lower and higher ceiling for kick. As well as less proprietary codecs/software. Which further limits you, looking at you as well Apple and Samsung! Apartment based ANC is a 9/10, as Bose is the 10/10 OG. Battery is poor for cost (under 30 hours), can't compete. Just a very basic case, nothing that stands out. If you are paying good money. I'd prefer something solid day 1. Not having the urge to spend more on a 3rd party. *Sennheiser - The headband is very solid feeling. The padding is mainly in the middle. It doesn't feel like much. But due to the wider band and placement of the pad focal point (center). It will give you a better balanced feeling weight wise. As the outer parts of band are solid. The earcups have the same pull/push non-notched adjustment as the Sony. Though because this has a wider headband. You shouldn't have to constantly adjust them every 15/20 minutes. Unlike some other brands, lacking a balanced weight resistance ratio. With that being said, they will get warm for some. Though I always advise people to "clear the air" every hour for a few minutes. As 90% of headphones I've used got warm overtime. That's why comfort is paramount. You can tolerate the warm feeling much easier. SH worked some magic yet again. BASSHEADS, a return to form. The EQ range is generous. Tweak away, and dance and game the night away. Or relax and watch something on TV. Multi-connection is more useful than I thought. Especially being able to keep your phone connected at all times. That way no matter what I'm doing. I can receive the phone call. Apartment ANC 8/10, Sony retains the edge. Though due to the stronger bass in the M4. The M4 can fill the gap with stronger overall bass. Dolby Atmos also pairs well with the headphones. The battery is where the dark magic hides. Rated at 60 hours per charge. Though in some cases, users have gotten over 60. That is more than enough to get you through a week. Less overall charge, will mean slower degradation of battery life. People still forget, we can't easily swap batteries in 90% (my estimation) of headphones. The case stands out, especially the blue. The color tones are complementary. Sure I don't mind a "sleeper pair" of headphones. Sometimes you just want to appreciate the visual aesthetic as much as the audio experience. Cheers, Authorian HiFi A/V Enjoyer

This is my most expensive purchase as a student and not even once I have regretted it. I bought it for $265 after taxes (about 7 months ago) and if you are in the market for the best sound then look no further. Yes the ANC might be better on the Sony XM5 but my usage is usually in a closed quiet room. The battery life is so superior. My usage is very heavy and I have to charge it twice a month almost. You might enter a state of trance while listening in these (more so if you are using Apple Music). I would buy these if had to buy it again. Also, I bought Senheisser Accentum to gift someone. If you can't afford these then I would say that the Accentum's are really good for the price. When compared, Momentum 4 has an overall better built quality, battery life, ANC (you can adjust the ANC level in momentum 4 but not in Accentum), a slightly better sound (15-20% at max). I have also tried Airpods max and was even happier that I got the Momentum 4s. Apart from spatial audio there was nothing special about airpods max (garbage when price is considered). I watched this particular youtube review which compared basically all the headphones(Bose, Sony, apple, Bowers & Wilkins and many more) in the market (do have a look, it's very comprehensive) - https://youtu.be/l5qootmFQx0?si=7BXezoG32-y00uWg Even he found the momentum 4s to be the best in terms of sound.

The sound quality and battery life are outstanding on these headphones. They don't hurt your ears after hours of wear either. Phone calls are clear and so far no one has had issues hearing me. Overall a great set of headphones!

I was in the market for over the head earphones. I have been reading reviews and watching video comparison between the B&W PX7s, Sony XM5 and the Senheisser Momentum 4. Note that all 3 are well within the same price range. If you own a device that supports the LDAC codec, then it would be a no brainer to get the Sony. But seeing a review from Darko on youtube where he compared the M4 to the Bathys by Focal did it for me. Boy was I impressed with the sound of this thing. Neutral and not bass heavy. I like the design more by Sony but I don’t hate the Momentum 4s design either. Very comfortable in my head and had worn this in a 4 hour flight easy without feeling of discomfort on my ears. Battery life is impressive with 60hours, have’t tried it out though since I normally charge mine when it’s in the low side, and I don’t keep track of the usage either. Oh and I got these on sale for $299 which is a major plus.

Solid pair headphones, good build quality and comfort. ANC is a bit lacklustre but gets the job done for the most part. But sound quality more than makes up for it. Comparing it to Sony xm series or the AirPods maxes, the Momentum 4's really sound the most balanced and clear. Not to mention the 60 hour battery life is amazing, I barely need to charge the headphone most weeks

Just got the Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 and wow… Noise? Gone. Music? Crisp. Bass? Thumping. Battery lasts so long I forget they even need charging. Comfort level? Like wearing clouds. Pricey? Yeah. Worth it? 100%.

My first pair of over ear Bluetooth headphones and I'm very happy with them. They are comfortable which is so important in headphones. Sound quality is very good. Very importantly, the noise canceling is excellent! The app makes all of this easily adjustable. The Bluetooth connection works very well. They connect quickly and the connection doesn't drop. Most amazing is the battery life. I have owned them for a while but have not needed to charge them yet. Highly recommended!

What I like about them is that they are not bulky and the sound is ok. I bought them to replace my soundcore headphones that are a little old now, but to be honest, the sound the same. The only issue I see that is very annoying is connectivity. They disconnect frequently from the phone.

These headphones are excellent at canceling noise. I couldn’t even hear my husband speaking to me. I could tell he was talking, but I couldn’t make out what he was saying. So, if you’re looking for effective noise cancellation, these are the perfect choice for you! We found them a bit uncomfortable to wear, but they say they will mold to your head. We didn't keep them long enough for that to happen. They were too heavy for us. Also, our connectivity was odd.

I have owned a set of Sennheiser Urbanite XL Wireless headphones for 5 years and have appreciated the sound quality of them, but the battery will no longer hold a charge and I've been unable to find a replacement of decent quality so decided to replace the Urbanites. I looked at several different models and brands, but came back to Sennheiser due to the sound quality. But, the caveat is that Sennheiser headphones are no longer actually made by Sennheiser, the consumer audio division is now owned and operated by Sonova as Swiss company known for hearing aids. That change in ownership is reflected in the construction quality of the Momentum 4 headphones, which is to say, they are basically plastic and do not feel they will last as long as the Urbanites (which still work, but only hold a charge for 10 to 20 minutes.) Charge however isn't a problem with the Momentum 4s, which I can use for about 40 hours before charging. Soundwise, if you use the Sennheiser app, then go the Equalizer and Select "Rock" and Bass Boost you will have a sound profile identical to the old Urbanites. The newer technology of Noise Cancellation makes a huge difference in listening pleasure. The touch controls are pretty much unchanged after 5 years. I'm glad they switched to USB-C as the connection instead of the old micro-USB and the continued inclusion of a jack for plugging in the headphones (the inclusion of an airplane adapter is nice too.)

These are the best value ANC over the ear headphones you can buy. Amazing sound quality but ANC could be better. Battery life is amazing and earcups actually are comfortable. If you care about sound quality get these

great sound and batter life. nit the best for letting your ears get air. traps moisture. also any moisture gets in ear mike you will hear static feedback. use dry pads for this

I have only used these headphones with the wire, so I can't judge the blue tooth feature. The comfort of these headphones is satisfactory, I have worn them for two hours continuously and felt no discomfort. The sound is excellent with an emphasis on bass.

Awesome headphones! Beautiful design and love the blue color. Sounds slightly better than my SONY MX5. Very tight mid bass, clear highs and mids. Excellent build quality. Oh and battery life (60 hours) is amazing!

Really like these headphones and for my purposes its next to perfect. The a few issues i have is that the pass through isnt as good as i expected, and connection to a pc isnt as seemless as i wanted. Though i suspect that is an issue with how my set up currently functions and not the fault of the head phones. Over all the comfort, audio quality, and controls make it a good set. Also no need to mention battery life as it lasts a week before i charge it anyways
