Customer Ratings & Reviews

Always been a sennheiser fan and these are no exception. Very comfortable, great sound quality, and had no complaints about the mic quality. My only mild complaint is that the noise cancelling, while good, isn’t quite to the level I expected. I’d say it cancels out most noise but definitely doesn’t put you into total silence. That could be a pro for you though, just depends on the person

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.

Very good head phones, love the bass it has, and the battery life is definitely gonna be the best factor, just wish it was a little louder but the noise cancellation makes it good enough that you don’t really need that extra volume

Overall a good experience, sound quality overall is pretty solid. Bass is amazingly deep and clean, by far the most noticeable difference between these and other headphones. Able to use them with no battery wired into my PC and wirelessly with my Phone. Battery life is almost 3 days worth and they charge super fast. Love the carrying case and use it to transport them to work and back without fear of them being broken tossed in a bag. However the feedback from the controls is terrible. There are just leds that make it really hard to tell if the headset is on or not. Hard to tell if the headset is being turned off or on or if the headset is low on battery. The only indicator that they are on is a click sound which you won’t notice if you aren’t wearing them. Overall I still accidentally turn them on when I want to turn them off and vice versa. Other times they don’t show charge when they are charging and seem to freeze up and don’t show any leds unless you hold the power button down for a while and then they turn off and work fine after. No idea, but seems like something firmware could fix. The sound quality over Bluetooth is noticeably compressed to a trained ear, but you can use these wired with a good amp and get great sound quality akin to regular wired sennhieser products.

Solid feel and sound. Unbelievable battery life and the blue looks great

The sound quality is great, the battery life is awesome, and they feel very comfortable.

Super comfortable and extremely long battery life. The sound quality is a big upgrade from the jbl tour one that i previously had.

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.

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.

These are excellent! They are comfortable, the sound quality is fantastic, and the battery life is impressive. I haven't had any connectivity issues in the month since I bought them either.n

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.

Exceeded my expectations for comfort and easy pairing. I am using it primarily to listen to my television. It paired with the box that sends the bluetooth signal from my TV instantly when I put them on. The sound is clear, crisp and I hear every word. I have also used listening to music and the sound is terrific. Very comfortable. Definitely a smart purchase.

Bought these for my boyfriend and he loves them, they actually cover your ears instead of pinning them to your head and they’re great quality. Battery life being long is a plus, and they come with a good quality case as well.

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.

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.

Amazing sound quality. My biggest con is that it makes my ears hot, and it definitely isn’t the headphones I would wear to the gym. It’s more of a lounging type wear. Still, I wear it often at work and while doing errands and it sounds amazing just about anywhere given the noise cancellation. At the laundry mat, I can still hear the hum of the machines just slightly with noise cancellation on. Also, it’s not necessarily as loud as I would want which is like a double edged sword. It protects my hearing by not being so loud and it has an amazing, balanced sound quality but it just isn’t as loud as I would want when listening to bangers. That’s why I give a 4 just out of sheer pettiness haha

Headphones sounds good but, I would like a little more volume. Can't tell the difference between noise cancelation and transparency mode. The headphones are really good for taking phone calls, and they're comfortable too

I have owned and use many different kinds of earphones and earbuds. These Sennheiser Momentum 4 are the over ear version of my Apple Airpod Pros. The noise cancelling is awesome and really cuts down ambient noises. Combine that with music and these earohones can really remove you from a room. But the SOUND QUALITY of these Momentum 4s are INCREDIBLE! With the soecialized Sennheiser Smart Control Plus app, these headphones are taken to a whole other level. Bass boost option is available through the apo and it really cranks up the low end of your music. The mids and highs are comparable to higher end car audio builds, BUT DIRECTLY ON YOUR EARS!!! Compared to my okd Plantronics Backbeat Pro 2, Beats Solo, Bose QC, Sony M4, and the Marshall Monitor III, the Sennheiser Momentum 4 are the best overall!!! Plus the 60 Hours battery life WITH ANC activated is only beaten by the Marshalls at 70 hours, but cmon, whose gonna listen for that long straight anyways? Get you a pair of the Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones and dive into your music!!!

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

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.
