Noise cancellation

Had a problem 5

“compared to the Mark 5s, in noisy conditions, the Sennheisers do let in more background noise and wind noise.”

“The low-frequency rumble dropped dramatically, enough that I could listen at 60 to 65% volume without pushing.”

“Sennheiser's ANC is the weakest of the three.”

“the Momentum 4s have strong and effective active noise cancellation, but sadly they're still outperformed by both the AirPods Max and the Sony XM5”

“The M5s definitely have more noise cancellation.”

“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.”

Comfort and fit

4 of 17 had a problem · 11 liked it · 2 split

Had a problem 4

“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 do feel surprisingly roomier around the ears. So if you have larger ears, the Momentum 4 might offer a more comfortable fit.”

More from both sides (3 more quotes)
“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”
RecordingNOWMay 2025at 1:15 (watch on YouTube, opens in a new tab)
“with the Momentum 4s these are a lot more noticeable while they're on your head than the Sony 1000XM6s cuz 40 G is a big deal”

“So for me stability that I take also in considerations workout something really important for me is a 8 to 10 on the momentum 4.”

Design and build quality

“And one of the biggest cons that I have with these is that these ear cups are not removable. They're not magnetic, they're not detachable, they're not machine washable.”

“The headband has some flexibility to it too, unlike what you'd find on the Beats Studio Pro headphones.”

Microphone quality on calls

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

“Momentum 4 has great quality with the calls. There's one feature in particular that really worked well for me, and that is it has the ability to feed your own voice back into your head a little bit”

“the momentum 4 wireless uses a 4-microphone array, while the momentum 5 doubles that to 8 microphones and handles wind and echo better”

The carrying case

2 of 8 had a problem · 6 liked it

Had a problem 2

“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…”

“I do actually prefer the Momentum's four carry cases just a little bit smaller in terms of form factor means it's a little bit easier to travel with”

“And that is battery life. We get 60 hours of runtime between charges with the Momentum 4 Wireless. I'll say that again, 60 hours. And that's with active noise cancellation turned on. I think this is absolutely fantastic. It's double the…”

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.

Is this your product, or a rival’s?

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.

Share your product, relevant rivals and a question. We assess review coverage, then reply with what it can support and a scope to discuss.
