Sennheiser beats Sony hands down with their sound quality. For contrast, I have owned Jaybirds Sport, Bowers and Wilkins Pi7 S2, Sony QuietComfort ll, Sony 700 and Sennheiser MOMENTUM 3 headphones, and Samsung Galaxy Buds Live.
I have very small ear canals and have to have earbuds with just the right balance of fit and weight. Galaxy Buds do fit but tend to slide out after awhile. Their sound also just can't compete with Sennheiser or B&W.
Other people can leave detailed reviews about touch controls and other tech stuff. I just know these sound great and fit comfortably for at least a couple hours.
Anything I play through the Momentum 4's is crisp and detailed. Clear highs and mids and deep bass that I swear you can feel. ANC works very well for my daily use. It blocks traffic and neighborhood sounds so I can use them even when I do meditation outside. The case has a fabric texture outer layer that doesn't slip out of your hand. They're also a lot easier to get out of the case than the Bowers and Wilkins which have a deeper case and smaller surface to grab.
I truly enjoy the MOMENTUM 4's the best of all the earbuds I own! I strongly recommend them if you can afford them!

When I unboxed the Wireless Earbuds, I noticed the premium feel they had. The case was sturdy and the presentation felt amazing. The case felt like you were getting quality. The Case also feels high quality. My headphones can stay in my pocket all day. The case is what makes a good pair of wireless earbuds. These deliver all around. Not too bulky much more firm and solid.
The Earbuds by far were the most comfortable earbuds I've ever had. After a while, I'd forget I'd had them in. The Audio quality was crisp and clear. While listening to a podcast, you could hear the clarity and cleanness. While listening to music you could hear and be in the experience. When you have good audio it enhances the experience.
It has an Adaptive Noise Cancellation Mode. With the window up and raining outside It blocks out a decent amount. Though, I've never been a fan of any Noise Cancellation this one was decent. You adjust this feature inside the app. The Transparency feature is one that I see as useful.
Honestly, the best thing about the earbuds is that you don't need the app. Out of the box, the Earbuds sounded amazing. While listening to podcasts, videos, and audio. The interaction and functionality of the earbuds were flawless. Each press pressed and there were no problems with pause/playback.
My only Negative would be the app. It seemed useless with not as much control. Yet, you can "Sign Up" for more control. I'll pass on that part. The Earbuds are a Home Run. Great comfort, Quality, Sound, and a Premium Price Tag.

The Case: When I first unboxed these, I was very impressed! Especially the case, it has this kind of class to it that I think other plastic earbuds lack! It feels nice and makes me feel like it’s an expensive piece of tech which I enjoyed! The case was compact, felt nice to hold, and fits in my pocket, and I felt confident that if I threw it in my backpack it wouldn’t break the hinge in there. Don’t ask me how I know about broken hinges from earbud cases in a backpack filled with stuff. But seriously I’m a huge fan of the case. The color, the feel, the weight, the snap when closing it, USB-C, and an easy to understand light! Fast charging, etc.
BUT
It’s not all sunshine and rainbows! The design of the inside of the case kind of leaves me wishing it was different! Putting the earbuds in and taking them out is hard for me and my big orge fingers! Just the way it’s designed makes it a challenge for me and makes me feel like I’m gonna drop something when I’m walking. I seriously have to STOP and get situated when pulling the earbuds out or back in. The other downer is the case doesn’t open far back enough! It’s like a straight 90* degree angle and now my knuckles knock against the back of the case further causing me to feel unstable when pulling the earbuds out! Not a huge deal, but I don’t like that. I wish the case opened up further and I wish there was a slot where I can put my finger in and lift the earbuds out.
The App, Sound and Fit: I was disappointed with the sound at first, not gonna lie! I thought it sounded low quality, but the fit was a bit rough! Ear fatigue happened very quickly because of the design! But it wasn’t until I explored the App when all that changed! I’ll get to that later. When I first put it on, I lifted my ear so it would go in my ear and fit snug with a slight twist. It stays and it WON’T go anywhere for my ears! I can confidently say these are the best fitting earbuds for my ear out of any that I’ve tried and owned! I went on a run, did dishes, watched a show on my tablet while laying in bed, and they won’t come out… in fact they’re stuck in my ear and I’m now a Sennhesier man now! Kidding, but the way it stays put, it’s almost like it’s stuck in my ear! I love that it feels that secure in my ears! But because they’re so snug, I feel like it begins to get uncomfortable relatively quickly. Which is a bummer because it’s so great that they’re so secure!
The sound was kind of flat sounding and felt hollow. Almost as if something was blocking the speaker. It’s hard to explain, but I was very surprised how not good it sounded to me. I figured it was an app thing and I needed to do something with the app. The app is awesome! No need to sign up for anything so awesome there! But noticed an Audio Resolution section. I switched it to Lossless which is the second highest setting and it changed everything. I don’t know what standard is, but once I changed it, it made a world of difference for me! Sound is crisp, dynamic and I love it! Easily the best sounding earbuds I’ve ever used! Explored the app some more and it has quite a bit of nice features like a pretty indepth EQ with some presets you can rename which is nice! I almost wish they started with Lossless and made Standard an opt in option for battery life. Maybe changed it to "Endurace" mode or something like that.
Overall: I’m happy with these a lot. It has some quirks that aren’t deal breakers, but overall, solid sound, great app, aesthetically pleasing case, and secure fit make this a winner in my book.

These sound great, have a great battery life, and are comfortable to wear on a long flight. They can be charged multiple times by the case before the case needs recharged. The app works good and shows the important info needed on one screen. I definitely recommend them.

I'm no newbie to Sennheiser as I have been using their headset for YEARS for gaming on my PC, but this is my first experience with their earbuds. 1st impressions were excellent but a few minor quirks kinda bugged me when compared to my old daily drivers.
In the package comes the earbuds with case, USB C to A cable, extra tips in various sizes, border replacements and the usual paperwork.
As soon as I unpacked the buds I left them in their case and was surprised that it is wireless Qi charging compatible. It took less then ~30 minutes to get a full charge to start using them asap.
Initial setup is the standard pairing via BT and get to listening. I do highly recommend downloading the Sennheiser app called Smart Control to get the absolute most out of the buds features. After pairing the app walks you through a nice personalization feature to suit the earbuds to your tastes. I do like how it checks for fitment as well to make sure no noise leakage is present so you can change out the tips in case. I didn't do Sound Personalization as I prefer to tweak the 5 band EQ myself to my own preference.
Under the settings tab, there is an Audio Resolution option for those audiophiles who want a tad more control of their music. I changed from Standard to High resolution and have been more than satisfied since then.
Audio quality is what you expect from a premium brand earbuds. Highs and lows were excellent during movie steaming with no lag at all. If you game on your phone, there is a low latency option if you want lag free experience. I switched from low latency and high resolution and to be quite honest, I didn't feel or notice a difference so I kept it at High Resolution. Your mileage may vary obviously.
ANC was hit or miss. I cannot tell you what I am doing wrong if I am doing anything at all. There are 3 options, Off, Anti Wind and On. I turned my on as I don't want to be bothered at work and 2 of the 5 days in office, the ANC would just turn off basically between music tracks. The other days I never heard background noise at all and it was bliss. I have not touched any settings or anything so I can't tell what is causing that behavior.
Comfort was a 7/10 for me. I am thinking I need to "break in" the tips a little longer but it feels like they don't create a perfect seal sometimes and you have to constantly adjust them by twisting and jamming them into your ear more and more. It's a minor inconvenience but an inconvenience non the less. Also I have noticed my ears get warmer and hotter quicker than my other buds and when I compared them all, it looks like the tips are the culprit. They seem thicker and less rubbery(?) if that makes sense so heat seems to build up from that. Now I want it known the previous point was not a complaint but more an observation.
Another thing is that when I have to adjust the buds, getting my fingers near the edges to move them into a better position causes them to go all staticky for a second before returning to normal. This is highly annoying and caused the star loss.
Although there is some faults with the buds, the Pros heavily outweigh the Cons and they have become my new daily driver. I know there were issues at release, but when I got mine, I had an auto update to the firmware and didn't experience any issues other than what I observed above.
Sennheiser made an excellent pair of buds and I hope they continue to keep supporting and updating them via firmware updates.

The easiest way to explain these buds are by saying, they do everything well-exceptional.
Sound quality and flexibility, exceptional
ANC, very good
Transparency, very good
Microphone quality, good-very good
App, exceptional
Controls, excellent
Battery life, very good.
Quality fell and build, exceptional
Workout buds, very good-excellent
These are the overall best in ear buds I've ever owned. I have Bose Ultra, these are better. Technics AZ80, these are better. Denon PPro, it's close but these are better.
Their size and style make them uncomfortable for my ears after about 30 minutes.
If I could rate 4.5 or 4.8 I would rather those numbers, but these are not perfect for me. They are exceptional ear buds and have many amazing qualities.
The thing that sold me on these buds, was how often I would see a person from Sennheiser commenting and asking for feedback on YouTube reviews of their buds. That and watching them make improvements to the suggestions, that stuff sold me. Great buds, I will buy more.

Freaking awesome earbuds. Sennheiser really never ceases to amaze me. I haven't had a nice pair of headphones in a couple years now and have a couple pairs of sony earbuds and over ears that are great and I've always liked.
The Sound quality is amazing. Exactly what you would not only expect from such an expensive pair of headphones, but from Sennheiser, they just have a different standard for their sound that I will always love.
The App is the first one I've been willing to use for any accessories in a long time because of how awesome the sound profiles between neutral and podcasts are. They truly make a good difference in the listening experience when I am listening to music vs people talking and stuff. Also I havent needed it yet but I guarentee the find my headphones feature will help a lot. You can also customize the controls and a couple other cool nerdy audio things that are worth a look.
Build quality of both the case and the buds themselves is very good. Only thing I wish it had was more of a "snap" when I put the buds in so I know they were grabbed well. Hasnt been an issue yet though.
Truly the only "bad" thing I'm dealing with (its not that bad and i already knew Sennheiser headphones usually have this issue) is the battery life of the buds themselves. I work 10 hour shifts with 2, 10 minute breaks and a 30 minute break. I have had to charge then for an extra little while after coming back from lunch and on both breaks to get them to possibly last til I'm off. (They usually still are about to die when I get off)
This is something I experienced with my last pair of wireless Sennheiser buds. But in my opinion it's the trade of for the better sound quality.
Overall great headphones. If your debating on them I would highly recommend them.

Ear buds sound good, the app is cool and has lots of things to help with fit and adjusting sounds. The fit is something you have to adjust and learn where your sweet spot is. Connectivity is ok. Every once in a while i will hear a click like it dropped and reconnected connection. Battery life seems good. I wear them mostly at gym. I have not issues with them staying in. The ANC works ok. Ive had better. The ambient sound is very loud. Even when adjusted high and music on low. The worst part is talking on my phone with them. Nobody can hear me. I have to disconnect from the buds take one out to use my phone. Thinking about taking them back.

I wanted to say that I love these. I have a pair of Sennheiser Momentum 3 over-the-ear headphones that I've had for years and am very partial to. I wanted something a little less bulky for work, and I went with these.
The sound quality is lovely. The noise cancelling is marvelous. They're fairly comfortable, but there is a little bit of a learning curve to get them to sit just right in the ears. Also, if you plan on using these to work out and get sweaty, these are not the earbuds for you.
Now the bad. I purchased these in November of 2024 and used them faithfully until about April 5th, 2025. They are now being sent to Sennheiser for a warranty repair. While I don't know what's wrong with them yet, it sounds like there's a loose connection somewhere in the left monitor. I've been nothing but nice to these things, though I did put a lot of mileage on them in a short span of time. I haven't dropped them or anything like that, so I'm disappointed. Hopefully this is a one off issue.
Thankfully, Sennheiser makes warranty claims fairly easy.

They fit even better than the Momentum 3s and sound better too. Super comfortable with amazing sound quality. I did have to use the App EQ setting to boost the bass a bit. Firmware updates went much smoother too. Overall highly recommended.

The Sennheiser Momentum 4 earbuds are top notch. The fit and sound quality are very good. I have had no connection issues. Not the best noise reduction on the market but the best nr earbuds don't have the Sennheiser's sound quality. So a trade off and I didn't expect top tier nr when I made the purchase. The app is fine. I bought the over ear 4's first. Have been happy with those so assumed these would work well for me, too. Haven't been disappointed. I don't know about their durability so will update if I run into any problems down the line.

The Sennheiser earbuds continue to improve with each new generation. The sound quality, battery life, noise cancellation, connection and reliability are all amazing and significantly improved over the previous generations. I've given out four of these as gifts over the past year. I prefer them to any apple products, the Devialet Gemini II or the Denon earbuds.

These wireless headphones deliver impressive sound quality with deep bass and crisp highs. The battery life is excellent, lasting all day on a single charge. They're lightweight, comfortable, and have reliable Bluetooth connectivity. Noise cancellation works well, making them perfect for travel or work. A great value for the price.

Build and features are great but where it lags is the sound. If you like heavy bass then they good but I personally not a fan of Sennheiser sound quality. Too muddy for me and this been they problem for a long time even back to the momentum M2 wired buds still they look nice and feel okay. Dont get me started on they warrany!

After watching flossy carters video on these i had to get them and i dont regret it because these earbuds have blown me away so far! Im coming from some 2nd gen airpod pros which i thought sounded pretty good but these are on a whole other level! The bass, clarity, sound stage on these is incredible. The noise cancelation is better than the airpods but nobody can touch their transparency mode even though these have a great transparency mode. 100% recommend and these will be replacing my airpods pro gen 2 as my daily drivers!

Exceeded expectations - fits and sounds great. The app is easy to use and you have good control over customizing the buttons. Only issue is the same as all earbuds that have touch vs. a button control is if you adjust the earbud or accidentally touch it it registers a press. This has happened a time or two where you end up accidentally touching it for a long time and the volume goes up to 100.
Only other thing worth mentioning is unlike other earbuds that support multipoint (connect to more than one device), you don't get any differentiation like a different sound between connecting to one device or two. However the logic it uses to manage multipoint seems to work better than any other set i've used.
I've used numerous Jabra (great fit) and Google (great sound and great mics) earbuds, and this has replaced them all - the only set I have used since I bought them.

I've been a long time Sennheiser fan. I had the Momentum True Wireless 2 and the 3. Their focus on sound quality, features, and build quality kept me as a customer.
But these, they didn't do it for me. I was expecting flagship sound quality and ANC given their price and I didn't get either. The AirPods Pro 2 and Sony WF-1000XM5 have better ANC and sound quality with their default profiles. EQ'ing the XM5 made them sound even better.
EQ'ing the Momentum caused them to have issues. Increase the bass and the highs took a step back. Increase the highs and the lows would disappear. Sennheiser's bass boost did absolutely nothing, there was no audible difference between it being on or off.
Codec support was fine, though I could only ever get standard aptX on my DAP which fully supports aptX HD. It would be nice if we could select the codec in the app instead of just crossing our fingers and hoping for the best.
ANC was non-existent. I mean, it's there, but I have $40 earbuds from Soundcore that cancel out the same amount of noise. These support Auracast so you won't miss announcements in airports but it's not needed due to the low level of ANC. Everything from the ticking wall clock in my office, low hum of my tower fan, and the person in the office next to mine were all audible while playing music with ANC enabled.
The fit on these is fine. I didn't need the included wing tips, even while exercising. I did need to bump down to the medium small ear tips. Sennheiser did include an assortment of ear tips. These have a deep fit, similar to IEMs. I found the smallest wing tip (one with an actual bump) hurt my ear after a while.
Connectivity was terrible for flagship earbuds. Sennheiser made it so one earbud is the source to another and the earbuds will automatically determine which one has the better connection to a source device. I experienced skipping with my Android DAP connecting via aptX and my iPhone 15 Pro Max through AAC. Multi-point was fine, but the earbuds never dropped a connection when they needed to. I had the earbuds paired to my iPad and iPhone at one point. My iPad was downstairs, and I was upstairs with my iPhone playing music off it. The earbuds kept stuttering in and out as they were trying to connect to my iPad.
Compare that to my XM5 earbuds and they either maintained a solid connection to my iPad or they would just drop it and not reconnect until I was right next to my iPad.
Overall, these just didn't do it for me, and I returned them only to keep my XM5 earbuds. They're more comfortable, have better ANC and sound quality, longer battery life, and better connectivity. They also have more smart features like shaking your head to reject a phone call and Sony's EQ is much better.

I have tried at least 5 high end earbuds recently, Sony, 2 different Bose, Samsung, and these are the best and sound fantastic with music and YouTube - Ok for phone calls. Well made and solid. My only gripe is that they are not easy to get in and out of the ear. You have to screw them in to feel secure but generally they do not feel secure and I always worry about them falling out. Not good for exercise. But the sound is sooo good I kept them.
Bose QC and Ultra fit the best with ear fitting rubber and sound almost as good.

Great sounding. I'm not too concerned with the noise cancellation so I have no opinion on that.
It did not sound much better than my current ear buds. I purchased this because it was on sale and the website indicated I could get a $35 trade in on my older over the ear wireless. When I got there I was told they were of 'no value'.
Without that extra discount I didn't wish to keep these so I returned them.
