Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pros: + Fit is snug and comfortable, earcup material nice and plush and so is the headband. + Sound quality is balanced and not too bass-heavy +Tremendous battery life compared to similar headphones +Build quality and case feel sturdy and premium + Audio available over USB-C Cons: - OK microphone quality - Noise isolation and "cancelling" is more muffled than muted - Bass heavy tracks lack depth

I'm giving them 4 stars because they do have great noise canceling properties, but if the volume is low enough, which is maybe halfway to the max, you can hear things from the outside and I've tested it even when I have the ANC Filter on and while it's transparent. But if the volume is at a certain level, it works perfectly. Would recommend these compared to Sony or Bose headphones. Definitely worth the price but earbuds are better. Also be conscious that the app has changed ownership, and the customer service is a lot more lax. It's not as good as what it used to be. But compared to the horrible customer servers at bose, their customer service is at least better in sending you recommendations on how to fix or restart your product. And the battery life is AMAZING, i can go listening with these headphones for 5 to 7 hours per day for a whole week and it would still be at 50% charge at least.

Much improved over the Momentum 3s. While the momentum 3s had great sound quality and just ok ANC, the momentum 4 improves in these areas and more. ANC is way better, no more distortion and is on par with some of the best. My biggest complaint about the momentum 3s were comfort. It became fatiguing to wear after 2 hours. I wore these on an 11 hour plane ride and never felt the need to take them off. Also the battery life on these is insane now. Only knock on these headphones is the touch controls. They do take some getting use to and I much prefer the buttons on the old headphone. Other than that this is my favorite travel headphone along with the XM5s. But these are cheaper and have better sound quality. Highly recommend.

High quality over the ear headphones. The noise cancelling isn't great but the audio is fantastic. Gets more comfortable over time as it breaks in. Great battery life.

I haven’t worn over the ear headphones since the original OG MONSTER CABLE Beats by Dr. Dre plug in Studio headphones. With all the new technology, styles, and colors . . . It became hard to decide which one would be best for my needs and I just landed on the basic Apple AirPods and updated generations that followed. When it was time to land on an over the ear headset after over a decade of not owning one . . . I did a lot of research online and in person. Sennheiser has always been audio company since as far back as I can remember. Focusing solely on microphones, headphones, and speakers . . . Their products can be found in high end music studios, movie sets, and of course at home too. Their products were never “cheap” and some would even say . . . “Quite expensive”. In reality you get what you pay for. With all my research I not only found that this was a great headset, but the fit, comfort, color options, BATTERY LIFE, noise cancelling performance, included accessories, and portable and sleek hard case made it tough to not want to add this to my life. After using it daily for the past few months, I can say that I have zero regrets with my purchase decision. Traveling with this is simple and comfortable when worn on 11 to 13 hour business flights. The sound quality far exceeds the competition in the same and even higher price ranges, the unit is very easy to use and operate, and looks elevated while not being overly gaudy and futuristic when compared to other brands and models. I have had no issues with glitches, spotty connections, or wear and tear with use that far exceeds the norm of a casual headphone user. I would recommend this to anyone considering to buy any headphone in the $349 to $599 price point range. None offer the battery life that this one provides and it’s not “heavy” when worn for hours at a time.

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.

Love these headphones! For the price the sound is definitely where it should be. They do last for several days without needing to be charged. I dropped a star because they randomly will drop connection.

Overall these are good quality headphones. The sound has very good clarity. Headphones are lightweight and comfortable to wear. The materials seem to be of good quality. These headphones come with a case to store in, a decently long charge cable, headphone cable, and airplane adapter. The cell phone app works and allows you to change the equalizer. The noise cancelling works good and can be easily fine-tuned using the headphone touchpad. The led's give you an indication of how much time is left to charge the battery.

The sound quality is incredible but the apps reliability is questionable, the multipoint connectivity worked at first but suddenly after an update it doesn’t connect to multiple devices just one and sometimes they don’t even wanna connect to my main device

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

IMO best sound, comfort and looks. Noise cancelling (NC) well below the Bose QC which I owned before they were stolen. I'm OK with it as the Bose would hurt my inner ears after about 2 hours on a plane and I can wear these forever. As long as I'm not next to a crying baby, these suffice. Whatever I'm listening to drowns out 95% of what leaks through the NC. Love the look of the case but it's on the large side and not the best for traveling light. They were $150 cheaper then the Bose and the sound is better. I've used Sennheiser in pro sound applications and accept that their quality and durability are high.

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.

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.

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 freaking love these, the sound of great, the features are super fun and easy. And they are super comfortable to wear

Great headphone. Easy to use, and the controls are intuitive. the app is superior to any other headphone or earbud related app I've ever had for other products (I burn through a lot of headphones through using it 8+ hours/day). Noise cancelling is excellent. Battery life is top of the line. All for a reasonable pricetag. Wish I'd moved to Sennheiser products sooner.

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!

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.

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.

These headphones are very comfortable, even for extended time periods. The sound quality is very good. I use the headphones for listening to music and watching videos/movies. The ability to use them wired or wireless is a bonus. The headphones have great battery life.
