Product Manuals
Q: What type of charging interface does the headphones use?
A: The headphones have a USB Type C charging interface.
Q: Does the headphones have a built-in microphone?
A: The Momentum 4 Wireless headphones have a built-in microphone.
Q: Can the headphones connect to two devices simultaneously?
A: The Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless headphones have the ability to connect to two devices simultaneously.
Q: What is the size of the headphone drivers?
A: The driver size of the headphones is 42 millimeters.
Q: What is the length of the detachable cord?
A: The cord length is 4 feet.
A: The battery life of these headphones is 60 hours.
A: I currently have both. My guess is that they now used the new grippy silicone head band and the sennheiser denim on top that it reduced manufacturing costs. Also it doesn’t have the metal sliders for the headband and now clicks which is a pro imo. the sliders always moved out of place so it never was perfect after 10 minutes of moving with the headset. They did overhaul with the new tech though. Worth the upgrade if you’re looking into it
Q: can i use it as a wired headphone? i hate wireless headphones.
A: You can use it as wired but that would defeat the purpose of buying wireless headphones..... If you don't like Wireless i suggest the HD560 wired Senheiser headphones. Amazing quality and super comfortable at half the price. They aren't nose cancelling though.

Almost perfect : Pls hear me out !
My review is based on the comparison with the Bose QC45 as I needed a clear winner and see which one to keep. At first, I got the Bose Qc 45 while they were on sale for $229 on Black Friday, and got the momentum for $300. I take the subway every day going to work, and that's where I tested both QC 45 and Momentum 4. There are my conclusions: When it comes to the Bose QC 45: The comfort is just DIVINE (Piccolo approved ;-) ) ! the Bose QC 45 is SO LIGHT that I easily forget that I have them! I have no problem wearing them for an entire day without any fatigue! they are that light and comfortable and you barely remember that you wear them and are my always go-to! The sound quality is FANTASTIC (I just wish it had more bass), the EQ won't bring a drastic change but it's a welcome feature. The ANC is just TOP TIER as someone who takes the NYC subway every day, I always enjoy my music and podcast while on the train. Transparency is Great but not airpod max level. Now let's talk about the Momentum 4: The reason why I bought the Momentum 4 is that I needed my sound to be a bit louder and I wanted more bass without paying the price of the Sony XM5, moreover, when it comes to calls, the Bose 45 is not the best when you are in a noisy/ windy environment (subway and street) and I got quickly frustrated on calls as people would constantly have a hard time listening to me. The Momentum 4 has AMAZING SOUND QUALITY (better than the Sony XM5 but that's for you to appreciate) ! The bass is crazy, all of that without touching the EQ (when you play with it, it's even better) !!! The comfort is close to the Bose QC45, however the clamping force is a bit strong vs the bose, and sometimes you will need to take them off to relieve your head of the pressure, but Bose stays way ahead in terms of comfort ( as I said Piccolo approved) and can be worn for an entire day without fatigue ( for me ) , and the call quality with the momentum 4 is just GREAT and very close to the Sony XM5, I made phone calls while in the subway with trains passing by and people on the other side of the line had no problem listening to me (what a relief !) ! No one ever complained about how I sounded. The battery is just crazy almost 3 times the Bose (60 hours) ! ANC is Top tier too, and so is transparency but still not Airpod max level, but enough to hear your surrounding properly. my biggest issue with the Momentum 4 which is a big strength of the Bose is Bluetooth Connectivity and power on and off. Several times I had to check if the headphones were connected to my device or I had to turn off and restart the headphone to be sure it was connected, an issue I NEVER HAD with the Bose (just switch on and press play). Sometimes it's hard to know if it's ON or OFF as it turns on automatically and it's a bit confusing to know wether you really switched it off or not. I hope Sennheiser will address that with a software update. A personal one : I wish the momentum 4 had more buttons like the bose ( easy to operate in any season and no room for confusion) Do I recommend the momentum 4 ? ABSOLUTELY! What about the Bose QC45? Perfect Comfort , great ANC (the best for very long listening and travel).

momentum 4 review
I recently got the Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless headphones, and after weeks of using them, I can confidently say they’ve exceeded my expectations in almost every way. Whether I’m working, commuting, or just relaxing at home, these headphones deliver an unbeatable experience. Comfort and Design: Let’s start with comfort—these are some of the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever used. The ear cups are super soft and fit snugly without feeling tight, even during long listening sessions. The lightweight design also means no fatigue after hours of wear. While the look is more minimalist compared to previous Momentum models, I actually like the understated style. It feels modern and premium. Sound Quality: The sound quality is phenomenal, as you’d expect from Sennheiser. The audio is rich and balanced, with crystal-clear highs, smooth mids, and deep, punchy bass. Whether I’m listening to classical music, hip-hop, or podcasts, the Momentum 4 adjusts beautifully. They also support high-resolution audio codecs like aptX Adaptive, so streaming from services like Tidal or Spotify feels like a live concert. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC): The ANC on these headphones is top-tier. I’ve used them in noisy environments like coffee shops, airplanes, and even during commutes, and they block out almost everything. What’s impressive is how natural the transparency mode feels when I need to hear my surroundings—no weird robotic sounds. Battery Life: The battery life is insane—up to 60 hours on a single charge. I only have to charge them once a week, even with daily use. The fast-charging feature is a lifesaver, too—a quick 10-minute charge gives several hours of playback. Connectivity: Pairing these headphones is seamless with Bluetooth 5.2. The multipoint connectivity is a game-changer—I can connect to both my phone and laptop simultaneously, which is perfect for work and calls. The touch controls are responsive, and the companion app lets you customize the sound profile to your liking. Use Cases: I’ve used these headphones for everything—music, binge-watching Netflix, taking calls, and even editing videos. The mic quality is fantastic for calls, so I never have to switch to another headset during meetings. They’re also perfect for traveling, thanks to the long battery life and excellent noise cancellation. Final Thoughts: The Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless headphones are worth every penny. They deliver incredible sound, unmatched comfort, and the best battery life I’ve experienced in headphones. If you’re someone who values premium audio and features that genuinely make your life easier, these are an excellent investment. I honestly can’t imagine going back to anything else.

Excellent sound quality with one dealbreaker
Sound quality is top tier (with the use of the app, else it sounds flat out of the box). Sound quality is clean, spatial, and full. It feels like the singer is singing right into my ears. Each instrument is well balanced and placed; no instrument overpowers the other. ANC is very good too. I cannot hear the loud construction that's right outside. I come from the Skullcandy Crusher Evo which is specialized for bass and percussion. The bass and percussion on the M4s are exceptional, but are not as impactful and intense like the Evo's. This shouldn't be a concern for most listeners, but this is something to consider if you have a preference for bass and percussion. This isn't a dealbreaker but the sound quality is the best at high volumes (> 80%). Thankfully the ear pads are soft and comfortable. But wearing these for several hours at > 80% volume is definitely not recommended for the sake of ear health (which is obvious common sense for any headphones). My main deal breaker is I can hear more from my right ear. I wore the headphones backwards and could hear more from my left ear. The stereos are slightly angled, so the sound is the clearest when my ears are closer to the stereos. Regardless of how I wear it or what I listen to, I still can hear more from one ear. I checked my settings and nothing looks off. Other than that, I recommend the headphones for the A+ sound quality, 60 hour battery life, exceptional ANC, and comfortable ear pads.
