“the momentum 4 wireless may actually be the safer choice for listeners who want a more balanced presentation. It sits close to a well-regarded sound target, with controlled bass, clear highs, and no major problem areas”

Had a problem 0

None of the 21 channels here had a problem with it.

More from both sides (3 more quotes)
“the imaging, the tonality, the instrument separation, the overall width and depth that one attained and also the lack of a reverb as such in comparison to some of its competitors was absolutely class leading.”
TotallydubbedHDAug 2022at 6:22 (watch on YouTube, opens in a new tab)
“The momentum 4 use a larger 42 mm driver compared to the 32 mm driver on the monitor 3 and this results in noticeably deeper, richer and more impactful bass on the momentum 4.”
CEONTHEMAKINGMay 2025at 5:49 (watch on YouTube, opens in a new tab)
“Sennheiser's Momentum 4 sounds great, but it's definitely more of a fun mainstream tuning than something along the lines of Sennheiser's HD 600 or HD 500 series.”

“A very exceptional battery life that has no competition in the market right now. Great adaptive ANC, very good sound quality, working and actually flexible touch controls and a great lightweight fit without straining too much on your head.”

“battery life is a smidge shorter compared to before, at up to 57 hours with noise canceling versus the previous 60.”

“30 for the bawr wilkins, 40 for the studio pro, 60 almost double for the momentum 4.”
Mad AudioAug 2023at 8:33 (watch on YouTube, opens in a new tab)
“with the Momentum Fours offering a massive 60 hours with ANC on and the XM5s only offering 30 and this is certainly something that Sennheiser shouts about.”
Smart Home SoundsFeb 2024at 13:32 (watch on YouTube, opens in a new tab)
“the Momentum 4 has twice the battery life of the XM6 at 60 hours compared to 30 hours with noise canceling on 40 hours with noise canceling off for the XM6”

“Sennheiser handles indoor calls well, but switching to calls reduces audio quality significantly.”

“Now, one area in which the Momentum 4 wireless are significantly better for calls is wind noise. Wind noise was immediately removed for both myself and the person on the other end of the call, and that alone I think is a huge plus.”

“So the case is similar, the accessories are similar, the build quality and materials are similar, the style is similar, the comfort is similar, but I do lean a little toward the Sennheiser in the comfort zone.”

“the case that comes with the Momentum 4s has a large footprint cuz these headphones have a lay-flat design to them and this case is also pretty thick. So I feel that traveling with the Momentum 4s isn't as convenient as with the Sony…”

“Although I think Sennheiser have done a fantastic job of distributing the weight around the head or throughout the headphone. So we no longer get the sort of the top-of-the-head pressure point that I experienced with the Momentum 3…”

“These are padded with a very soft, very natural feeling material. It encloses your ear completely which makes for a nice tight enclosure to your ears, which is great for the sound side, but not so good when it's summer outside, your ears…”

“the Momentum 4 on the other hand doesn't have as much of a plush headband cushioning it's kind of tough and it's a rubber material as opposed to leather so the top of head pressure is actually a little bit stronger with the Momentum 4”

“these do have a stiffer headband which clamps tighter so it squeezes my nape a little more if I hang it around my neck”

“As soon as you go down you realize that the weightlessness which the headphones actually possess come with a price. It's using a complete plastic band. The cups are also made out of plastic.”

“But the Momentum 4 wireless, they are right on Sony's heels now. It's close enough that when I was playing music or movies or even podcasts, it was super difficult for me to tell a difference.”
Digital TrendsAug 2022at 6:59 (watch on YouTube, opens in a new tab)
“The active noise cancellation that we get from the Sennheiser is very very good indeed, but it's not quite as good as the Sony and it's not quite as good as the Apple AirPods Max, and I would say that it's more on par with the Focal Bathys.”

How this is counted

One channel, one vote per topic. A channel who makes six points about sound counts once, so the numbers measure reception rather than talkativeness. Specifications and stated personal preferences are excluded; only assessments and direct comparisons count. A topic appears only where at least eight channels discussed it.

Split means a channel’s praise and criticism of a topic cancelled out. They count in the total and on neither side.

We have not tested this product. Counts describe channels with eligible assessments. Selected quotations link to their located caption passage. 2 of the 25 were sponsored by Sennheiser or got a free unit from them, and 3 more disclosed a paid promotion or an ad. Each is marked wherever they are quoted, and the summary shows every verdict with and without them.

No disclosed relationship is the subset without a recorded sponsorship, gifted-unit classification or generic paid-promotion marker. Unrelated ads can be labelled separately; affiliate disclosures are not comprehensively audited by this table. Missing arrangements remain unknown. This subset does not prove independence or a sponsorship effect.

Selected quotations are located in saved captions. Location is distinct from semantic support, product attribution and model checks; it is not comprehensive human review.

These public editorial pages take no affiliate commission or sponsorship. Commissioned reports are a separate paid service. Page generated from saved observations, not newly collected reviews.

A commissioned report scopes the products, questions and available evidence with your team. It can distinguish recurring observations, meaningful exceptions and open questions.

Commission a report on your product and the competitors relevant to your question, with reviewer recommendations, comparisons and trade-offs supported by quotations and timestamped links.
