Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless

Best wireless multi-purpose set on the market – I am a retired audiophile and have had many sets of headphones for live sound ops, casual listening, gym use, and for office teleconference use. I use a Samsung and Dell/Windows ecosystem. The Momentum 4 wireless headphones are pretty much the dream head set I have always been waiting for, offering many types of use in one complete package. They… Read more ·  1

come with the USB charge cable (you can charge whilst using if desired), a minijack-minijack cable for say airplane use, and even with the double pinned airplane adaptor. All provided in a good quality carry case. Build quality is very good. They are a tad heavy and feel well made with a premium look & feel as it says on the package. The soft material used on the outside of the headband is both attractive and robust. Ear cups are internally marked L and R so you get things on your head the right way around. Gesture controls are easy and work well to skip songs, start/end calls etc. These seem to be a design progression from the old PXC-550 headphones by Sennheiser. Physical fit is really good with padded ear cups and headband. Size is adjustable on both sides independently. If they feel like they are "squeezing" your head, it's because they need to be adjusted bigger. A past problem I have had with headphones is pads wearing holes due to my glasses - keen to see how these go. Replacement pads don't seem to be expensive, circa $30. You use the free Sennheiser Smart Control App to control and program the headphones, setting up ANC modes, EQ, loudness function etc. is a breeze. Sound quality is excellent, although probably would not match high-end wired headphones - which would be more expensive. Overall, the sound is a bit more "warm" than a typical Sennheiser set. There is a timbre to the sound that makes it sound dynamic. Like any headphones you need to set up your sound signal right in the first place to get the best sound quality from the headphones, then music is very clear but warm (I listen to many types of music from jazz to metal). And with 42mm drivers, the bass DOES go fairly low, around 22-25Hz I would guess, although the Specification claims 6Hz.... The EQ in the App is quite sensitive so you can adjust to your desire across 5 bands. Microphone quality is far better than any other set I have used (tested using MSTeams call back test) and there is smart wind noise filtering. Active Noise Cancelling works well, with variable levels and some automation built in. There is a talk-through function so you can hear yourself talk on a call, even with ANC running. The hidden gem with the Momentum 4 Wireless is how well they do multi-channel Bluetooth - it actually works extremely well. Thus, I can listen to music on my laptop but still control the headphones with my phone! Switching sources is automated but amazingly works really well. This is a dream come true. The BEST feature is the battery life. They will actually do 60hrs of use WITH ANC ACTIVE. This is great performance in anyone's books. On price, I am not sure they are worth the current RRP of AU$679. To me the sound quality is congruous to a $500 set of wired headphones. I bought mine, the Special Edition with gold badges, as "A-grade shop demo model" for under $300. Hence the 4-stars for Value. If I had to have a gripe, it would be the physical location of the main power button. It is on the rear of one earcup and so if you use the headphones in bed, the button is always touching the pillow and inadvertently switching (one of the buttons functions to activate Siri or Google Assistant). A minor design oversight. Very happy, great job Sennheiser.

Nice, very nice – I’ll keep it simple… 1. Easy to use 2. Comfortable 3. Great sound The end Show details

Great sound and battery life – I bought these for my wife for her birthday and liked them so much I bought myself a pair. The connectivity is really good. There is no need to use the on/off button as they turn on when you put them on and turn off when in the provided zip-up hard case. My wife watches Apple TV which automatically connects to the headphones and mutes external… Read more

audio when put on. They pretty much act like Apple headphones and will connect to iPad/iPhone automatically and work really well taking calls etc. The noise cancelling works very well and outside sound is muted through the plush earpads that are very comfortable. We recently took these overseas and my wife told me she couldn't believe how noisy it was on an aeroplane without them. Battery life is great. You can get way over a week without charging listening 4-5 hours a day. I use these mostly with my Playstation 5, you can watch Netflix etc and play games but the microphone doesn't work for PS5 voip gaming which is the only downside I've found with these headphones. You also need to buy a 3rd party USB bluetooth adapter with PS5 as the Sennheiser BTD 600 adapter DOES NOT WORK with PS5. ***FYI the Avantree C81 USB-C adapter does. You can also connect with a 3.5mm plug to the controller. The headphones sit in a semi-hard canvas zip up case which also holds various cables including a USB-C charging cable, a 3.5mm cable and an old school twin prong adapter for aeroplanes. Love these cans and use them every day. ***Edit Note April 2025: the Avantree C81 no longer works with these headphones. I'm pretty sure this is a Playstation 5 firmware update that has done this but they no longer work with PS5. Very dissappointing.

Bad customer service – i bought Sennheiser Momentum 4 Special Edition 2 weeks ago, the sound is good, but i had signal (intermitting) cutting off and on, i approached the Customer Service and they told me to send to the service Centre, they were not able to give advice or a reason for this bug. this will be an extra cost and wait a few weeks to get it back. very bad and unprofessional service from Sennheiser.
