Customer Ratings & Reviews

Short Version - If you're an audiophile and mostly use for tunes and one device, stop reading and buy. You can't get a better sound for music! The Deep Dive - I guess in todays market everybody has to have "an app for that". Like when your favorite pizza place started offering french fries, just doesn't always work. I've used Sennheiser solely since the 70's. As mentioned you can't get a truer sound for music than with their products. And this product is no different. Check out Arianna Grande's "Break Free" and the 808's will tear your head off. Pure, crisp "in your head" with amazing low frequency sound! As far as build, quite sturdy and comfortable, wearing hours without an issue. Comes with a nice travel case. The ANC strong, I'd say about 95% background noise gone. But unfortunately rather than review the superior audio quality of this product, the software becomes an integral part of these cans, so here I go. First the connection to Bluetooth. Now I understand why they choose the RF transmitter for so many years. Turn on your device, put the headphones on, push a button, done. The good news, you can use these headphones with anything that has BT. So transportable over all those devices. However, only two devices can be set to "on" at any given time. So you must go to the phone software and switch when changing. Since the phone pretty much always has to be connected to use the software, you can only set one more devices as "on". So everytime you switch devices you must change the toggle switch or it won't connect. If you plan on just using with one device like your home theater and phone, this will not be an issue. I have found the initial pairing a bit troublesome, especially if you have no or little experience with pairing. The instructions don't explain it well. Especially getting the phone into pairing mode. Like all things tech, once you get it, it's easy. If like me, if you plan on walking it around the house, the reception is GREAT! Unlike the RF versions that faded quickly. Now if you likewise plan on using on the computer in one room and your bedroom TV for instance, switching is a bit tricky. Remember to toggle the devices on/off in your software when changing. And if listening to music on your computer and surfing on your phone, if you hit a video on your phone, it may jump off the tunes to the phone video. Shutting down or moving off the video usually takes you back. Took me a minute to figure that one out. Seems the phone takes precedent. Maybe for calls. Tried taking cell and streaming calls a few times and very clear reception and immediately switched to call. Switching back to the original device if using phone a bit troublesome though. You may have to reconnect to original device. And when going back to a previous device you may have to reconnect again or when its been offline and charging. So far no drops in connectivity with one device. Some have complained about static. I have only noticed when switching inputs on my TV, like from cable to streaming (all built ins). The initial audio picks up about 2-5 seconds of white noise and then it's fine. Some syncing issue, I guess. Very occasional audio drops on Spotify, but I think that's the music software. Back to the M4 software, some nice features. Gives you battery status. Speaking of the battery, went 5 days of about 12 hours a day use till it went almost dead - 10%. I have a Samsung S21 phone and that charging cable works to charge the headsets. Remember your USB cable from the TV will most likely NOT work if TV off. I was miffed by not being able to replace the batteries in this unit, so I guess when they go dead for good, need a new model. Odd, but I guess good for product churn. The software choices - the product connect portion is pretty self explanatory, on and off for each device you've paired. Next the equalizer. It's OK, not a really a big range, just have to tinker with it. I found the bass boost great for music, not so much for TV!! Again play with it to get your taste. Haven't really used the other features in the software, so nothing to report there. Bottomline, they sound great and portable, the software can be somewhat useful, but limited, and if you don't mind a bit of tinkering with the nuances described, these cans are the ones to get!!

I initially purchased the Apple Air over the ear headphones and returned them because they were super heavy and i coumdnt turn them off without the case. I purchased the Sony xm4 and broke the plastic that holds the ear almost immediately. I purchaed ghe xm5 and they broke as well. I bought 3 more pairs of Sony because the sound was so good. Finally, i bought these and never looked back. Just get them. The sound quality, the build quality and the battery life are game changers

These headphones have checked all of the boxes for my personal needs. The ANC works well and can be adjusted via the app. The sound quality is phenomenal for this price range. Build quality is very nice and the overall comfort is great. I have worn these for 4+ hours continuously on a few occasions without ear fatigue. Battery life has been phenomenal. I have 30+ hours of use with 25% charge left on the initial factory charge and I tend to have the volume turned all the way up. There isn’t anything negative that I can say about these headphones. These set the bar very high and I feel you will agree once you hear them for yourself.

Comfortable, light, good sound, got them for cheap with open box

I love these headphones. They look good. Connect with Bluetooth effortlessly. Come in a great hardshell case. Have amazing battery life. Most of all they sound fantastic. The ANC is excellent and the app has great controls to dial in your best sound quality. I highly recommend.

These are my second pair of Sennheiser Momentum wireless noise cancelling phones. My previous pair were the 2.0 version. The sound quality in both is excellent. Where the model 4’s excel are in comfort, extended battery life, even better performing noise cancellation, comfort and construction. Basically, there are improvements in every area versus my original phones, which were themselves already an excellent product. In fact, I still have them as a backup if ever needed. Battery life is almost doubled versus my old phones.

Of the Sony, Bose, Apple, etc 200-500 dollar flagships, these sound the best. If you're going for impressive sound stage, clarity, and flat signature, while being Bluetooth w/ ANC, this is it. The Sennheisers have no competitor in their price range. Not a diss to the others, each has their respective strengths, but these sound, simply, the best. And best battery life in segment. There's nothing the Sennheiser does poorly. There are things the other brands do better, but sound and battery ain't it. But beyond that, these have the capability to run off a USBC to USBC connection, or a 3.5mm cable, either in the powered or unpowered configuration. 60 ohm impedance in the unpowered configuration. This means even if the battery dies, you can still use them, or turn them off and run a DAC to push harder. I'm currently running them on my phone using AptX codecs and Tidal, until i eventually get a Moondrop Dawn Pro or comparable DAC to run off the USBC port of the phone. Get these. If you want sound that makes you smile and sends the shivers down your spine.

Great sound, canceling isnt perfect you can definitely hear outside noise, the only issue I have with them is the swiping on the right headphone; it is too sensitive at times and activating the noise canceling can become annoying when it thinks you are pausing the song instead.

The headphones are beautiful and sleek. They feel really nice and are comfortable. They have a great battery life for the most part. I didn’t like that they had a somewhat strong chemical smell and a Prop 65 warning label. I was also disappointed that the sound quality wasn’t as great as everyone said it was. I was expecting way more from these headphones in terms of sound quality. The sound quality is good but not what I was expecting. The noise cancellation was pretty great at times I did feel a slight pressure, but overall very happy with the features and noise cancellation.

Very good sound for the price point. I have a set of corded open back Sennheiser headphones. So, I was aware they would sound pretty good. What I didn't know was how these would perform wirelessly. They are easy to pair and setup. There is an app you can download for free that is very useful. They are a laid back, smooth sounding set. The bass is not muddy, and the treble is not too bright. My only complaint, if you want to call it one, is I wish I could get a little more volume from them. Happy Listening Folks!!!

If sound is most important, these are the best overall in the class/price range. Better than Bose (by far), better than Sony or any of the other brands in the class. Very clear, good separation and more than enough bass (very low, but still tight/clear and able to rattle your head if you're into that). The noise cancelling isn't quite as good as Sony or Bose, but still more than adequate for any situation. They are very comfortable, feel very premium and the case is sturdy and feels very premium as well. And the battery life is far and away better than any of the competition. I have multiple pairs of headphones in this class and these are a pretty clear winner. Can't recommend enough.

Noise canceling is pretty good, audio quality for music is pretty good, comfort is very good. I found them very comfortable to honestly just fall asleep in. It did ignore me in some ways, for example, if I lay down with them on sometimes it'll think I'm no longer wearing the headphones and then pause what I'm listening to. I can turn that off in the settings but then when I do that sometimes the headphones will automatically turn off after a period of use because they think they're not on my head because I turned off the on head detection. I feel like the features are nice overall, but I was annoyed enough by some things that I'm looking for another headset now. Overall, it's a good headset and it's comfortable. But just good.

Comfortbale, amazing sound out of the box! Downloaded the Sennheiser SmartControl app and discovered the bass booster just perfect. Bonus no signup required just download the app connect headphones and use

Amazing sound and comfort! Battery life is incredible and noise canceling works perfectly.

Amazing pair of headphones, good bass, excellent sound and build quality. Wish I'd stopped purchasing gaming headsets sooner

Great sound, nice product, perfect pricing as long as below $200. The ANC is a bit weak compared with Sony XM5-1000 or Bose quiet comfort 4 but I love the sound. The app comes with EQ. They also have fine tune at the last choice of EQ so you can choose what you preferred. The headphone is slightly heavier than Sony XM5-1000 but I don’t really feel the difference that much. I can only use those I have to compare. And the soundstage is better than Sony for me. I still love Sony especially under noisy environment but for listening, this is better. I haven’t have a chance to test the mic, so I can’t really give comment. Just use it for pure music enjoyment for under $200 and you won’t regret it. But if you focus on ANC or mainly on Base, you might want to check out other brand. This has decent Base but not over doing it. People complain about the Bluetooth connectivity but I was lucky that I haven’t had any issue since I purchase a month ago. So I don’t know how long it will get to me but I can use a usb c dongle and it sounds even better. Just my personal opinion , hope it is helpful.

The hook up out of the box was quick and easy. They also have a mobile app so that you can fine tune the music to how you like it. The battery lasts for a long time too with multiple sessions through out the day. They have an automatic pause function for when you remove them off your ears that I enjoyed as well. They don’t take long to charge up. Call quality was clear on both ends, and the ANC is amazing on them too. You can not go wrong with these. Worth the price.

Honestly very slept on headphones. THE BATTERY LIFE TRULY LIVES UP TO WHAT IT ADVERTISES! ANC is A1. Phone calls and mic are good. Listening to music, tv shows or movies, sound truly superb. It’s the little details that matter and they show especially when watching tv. Never had any connectivity issues. Only one problem I had but I’m still willing to give it 5 stars is that after almost 2 years they started tearing. Other than that, no other complaints. These deserve more recognition

Cannot live without it. Fantastic sound, very comfortable, insane battery life.

I have a set of Sennheiser wired headphones and love them but purchased these for situations that make the wired ones impractical. This model has the same impeccable sound, but they really shine with noise cancellation enabled. It astounded me how well they work to mute outside noise. I use them several hours daily, and they have great battery life I initially had some issues with crackling, but a quick firmware update (applied using the phone app) resolved them. My only "complaint", for lack of a better term, stems from the amount of surface pressure on my ears. While not immediately painful (the cushions feel nice and soft), they do cause some discomfort after extended use but not enough for me to lament my purchase.
