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.

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!

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 own many many many pairs of headphones, several audiophile-grade. When it comes to wireless, I have Beats, Apple, Audeze, Sony, Bose. If I lost these, I would buy them again. They have the best audio fidelity, incredible battery life, fold flat enough (they're always in my bag and I fly with them), noise cancellation is good enough when all the other features are so excellent. I especially appreciate the functionality when connected via USB -- the loudness is boosted somewhat on an iOS device, and you get ATMOS audio depending on whether Apple Music offers it. On top of that, I use it to monitor audio when shooting video -- works a treat via the USB port on my Osmo Pocket 3. These headphones do everything, and the call quality even meets my needs. Highly highly recommended. Especially when on sale.

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.

Excellent cans, I have no complaints. Really long battery life, great noise cancelling and very comfortable (I can wear my glasses with them very comfortable and use them for very long periods of time) Def worth the purchase

The sound quality is great. I needed a new type of sound I was using the Arctis Nova 4 Wireless from Steelseries. These headphones do not compare at all. Huge jump in build quality and sound. I did not realize how much I appreciated sound till I bought the Momentum 4 I would definitely recommend to a friend. These are way better then a gaming headset. The microphone is good for phone calls and the Noise canceling is something I have not experienced before honestly I fall asleep with these on and fall into deep sleep all of the other noises are just gone. I would say if you're going to use these with your pc I would recommend you use the aux cable the come with the headset. The battery life is another huge plus one charge does last me a whole 3 days I do use the headphones a lot. Noise canceling is on while its plugged in through aux so no distractions. Love them Sennheiser is my new favorite brand.

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.

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!

Very comfortable, really cancels out a ton of noise and the battery life is crazy long. I have only had to recharge these maybe three times after having these for weeks and I use these daily for work 8+ hours a day.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

Excellent sound, light weight, conformable and long lasting battery

“These Sennheiser over-ear noise-canceling headphones deliver exceptional sound quality with deep bass and clear highs. The active noise cancellation blocks out background noise effectively, making them perfect for travel or focus time. They’re comfortable for extended wear, and battery life is impressive. A great choice for anyone seeking premium audio and immersive listening experiences.”

Crystal clear customizable audio, great battery life, very comfortable what more could you ask for if it’s in your price range I wouldn’t get anything else.

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

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.

Great sound quality and comfortable to wear. Music is great in all frequencies. The app is similar to others I have used. The touch controls for volume and track selection works great but ANC touch control is below average. Overall ANC is good not great. If you are looking for maximum volume this headphone is not for you. If excellent sound is what you are after this set is fantastic.
