The Momentum 4 are my sixth pair of Sennheiser headphones. I appreciate the sound quality of these, but the touch controls are a dissappointment. Even the touch controls on other Sennheiser products, such as the (very old) MM500X and the newer True Wireless Momentum earbuds were more accurate and a better implementation. The design is pleasing and looks upscale but does not look to be either as durable or classic as the former Momentum leather and metal. The ability of the Momentum 4 to pair and reconnect with two devices is superior to numerous other Bluetooth products I have used. The long battery life is also an outstanding feature. I personally prefer headphones which fold down to a smaller package but for (especially airline) travel, the hard case is very nice and elegant looking. The noise cancelation is good but it isn't a feature which is very important to me. Phone call quality and even placing calls via voice are excellent. Overall, the Momentum 4 are wonderful as wireless headphones but the rather inconsistent touch controls are the primary shortcoming.
These are the crispest sounded headphones I’ve ever purchased. Worth every penny. The sound cancelling aspect is a little lacking, but if you’re listening to something then it makes no difference.
'--Excellent sound. Love the SoundCheck feature in the app. --Touch controls responsive --New design is simple and the white/Grey color combo has an elegant aesthetic. --Battery life is yet to be fully tested but after using them an entire day I only lost 8% battery. And that was with ANC on for a good portion of the day. --Only gripe thus far is the comfort of the ear cups. Compared to the Momentum 3 these feel like a step back in comfort.'
The sound quality is excellent even though the sound stage could feel larger. The app seems to work pretty well with my Pixel 6 Pro and I'm glad to see firmware updates twice so far with only a week of ownership. However, the bluetooth connection settings need to be fixed. I should have the ability to turn off bluetooth multipoint (or any equivalent setting). There are times where I want to enable this but most of the time I do not want to have 2 devices connected at once. I want to connect to my phone, then when I am ready, find the previous connection on my laptop and select it to have the headset drop the phone and select the laptop to connect to. Having to coordinate this with the app is really convoluted even though it sort of works.
I am overly happy with thins purchase. This is the first high end headphones I have splurged on. The sound is amazing and you can hear all sorts of parts to music I have not heard in the past. I recommend these and would buy another pair of these broke. I bought the white headphones and love the look of them as well. It is a very immersive experience.
