I spent a lot time reading reviews and testing out at the store. It came down to Momentum 4, Sony XM5 and AirPod Max. Sony had great ANC and had a really cool look. In the end the Momentum was the best sounding across musical styles.

I hate to give these headphones such a low score, but I wish I had never bought them. The sound is great. The headphones in general are great. My issue is that they have an annoying "feature". They have an auto turn on that has no rhyme or reason as to when it connects. The most annoying part is I'll be on my phone with someone and all of a sudden these headphones turn on and connect, even though they have been siting in their case and not touched at all. Anytime I go anywhere with them I have to unpair them and then pair them when I want to use them. All because someone thought it would be a neat idea to get rid of manually turning on and off headphones. It's the stupidest flaw ever. Their app does not have an option to disable auto turn on. I'll be using my galaxy earbuds, and my phone will switch over to the momentums even though I didn't touch them or take them out of their case. It's especially annoying when I'm hands free in my car and my phone will be connected to earbuds or my car speaker, and all of a sudden it will switch over to the Momentums. The only way to prevent this is to unpair these headphones everytime you're done using them. This has been an ongoing problem for years. I guess I just didn't do enough research before buying these headphones. I wish I had bought the Bose

I'm not saying these are bad, but for the price, I expected much better. While using the AUX cord, the audio is amazing. I was testing these with Tidal, and with the enhanced quality, it was amazing. I could hear the difference in the distortion bass and distortion guitar, the fingers moving on the frets(personal pref), and the slight inhale on vocals.
HOWEVER, when I switched to bluetooth mode, it suddenly felt off. I could still hear the details, but the audio was centered just to the right of center. My guess is that since that's where the battery was, it was just a half a watt off on the left cup. Most people won't even notice it to be honest. But I'm an audiophile, and it really threw my listening off. By comparison, my Bose 700s don't do this at all, but I also game, and I need to know if the enemies are in front of me, or to the left, and these don't seem like they would work for that. For the price, I expected them to be on par with 700s.
I did return them the same day.

Audio quality is superb and the battery life is generally impressive, but the connection issues are so frequent and annoying that I cannot recommend these to anyone without the huge caveat that they'll likely need to run them wired. I have an external Bluetooth adapter in order to get better signal and that's the only reason these are even able to transmit sound at all, without it they were a choppy mess. Sticking to wired from here on out.

I will keep it short. Call it odd or petty but I very much do not like the fact that ANC cannot be shut off completely. I don't know if this is due to the headphone or is a problem with the application, maybe it's both because the app shows you can either have ANC or passthrough listening.. But I don't want either of those! I just want to turn the ANC off because it gives me a massive headache and I just want to hear the quality of the headphones without sounding like I'm in a sound booth! Yes.. It's dumb to ask for a headphone who's main feature is ANC, but again... It gives me a headache and I just don't want it.
