Momentum 4 Wireless

"The Sennheiser Momentum 4 offers a class-leading sound quality: they outclass their rivals in terms of soundstage width, detail, and instrument separation."

Users overwhelmingly praise the Momentum 4's sound quality, highlighting its detail, wide soundstage, and powerful yet clean bass, often calling it the best in its class.

"For me, these are the most comfortable headphones I’ve owned."

Most users find the Momentum 4 comfortable for extended wear, appreciating the plush earcups, though some mention a slight initial heaviness or pressure.

"battery life is super long. I can use it for several days, just put it on charge for 100 minutes and done."

The battery life is consistently cited as a standout feature, with users reporting exceptionally long usage times, often far exceeding the advertised 60 hours.

"Dont wear them to the gym or anytime you might sweat. I bought mine to play drums with and the little bit of sweat fried the circuit board."

Despite some positive comments on aesthetics, a significant number of users report issues with build quality, including cheap-feeling plastic, susceptibility to moisture damage, and premature component failures.

"I am also a fresh owner of the momentum 4s, using them a month now. You should definitely try the sound personalization tool. It enhanced the sound quality significantly for me. I am a bit disappointed with the call quality."

Call quality receives mixed reviews; while some find it very good for meetings, others report that background noise is easily picked up, making them unsuitable for calls in noisy environments.

"the app has a lot of options (sound personalization, bass boost, controls, sound zone, noise control). being able to manage connected devices is an underrated feature."

Features like sound personalization, auto on/off, and multipoint connectivity are generally well-received, though some users experience occasional Bluetooth connectivity issues or find the app's EQ less responsive than competitors.

"Momentum 4 Wireless can last up to 60 hours on a single charge, beating all the competitors we’ve been talking about."

The build quality is generally considered good, with premium materials and a sturdy feel, though some note the shift to more plastic and a less unique design.

"Making calls is also not a good use of the Sennheiser. These headphones had more difficulty than most in bringing callers' voices to the front, and the background noise muddies the words, making them harder to understand."

Call quality is frequently cited as a weak point, with reviewers noting difficulty in understanding callers and issues with background noise.

"The touch controls were easy to use and intuitive, but we found them overly sensitive, which can lead to frustration and accidental changes."

"Sennheiser's sound is just so clear and alive. Their way of tuning it is just amazing!"

Users overwhelmingly praise the sound quality, describing it as exceptional, lively, detailed, and superior to many competitors, even at higher price points.

"The Momentum 4 are mostly great headphones - good sound, ok touch controls and amazing battery life, but comfort is just not there both for wearing and carrying."

Comfort is generally good for many, but a notable portion of users experience discomfort due to clamping force or ear heat during long sessions.
