Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless Headphones, Bluetooth for Crystal-Clear Calls w/Adaptive Noise Cancellation, 60h Battery Life, Customizable Sound & Lightweight Folding Design, Graphite

I just received these Sennheiser Momentum 4 cans about 7 days ago. I bought them for $270, and now I see you can get them $20 less. I made the purchase, despite the negative reviews posted on Amazon simply because I have learned that reviews don't tell the whole story. Such as often times when it comes to Bluetooth devices, there will be a new firware/update that will need to be done, depending on how old the product is. In my case, that was the case. The firmware update was easy, took maybe a minute or two, and I was off and running. I have owned, and sold several headsets, from JBL, Beats, SkullCandy, Sony and yes, Bose. Now, for me, and how I like my music to sound, the Sennheiser 4s are by far the best sounding Bluetooth headphone to grace my melon. Mids, highs and lows work amazingly well. Wind and string instruments sound crisp, and suppurb! The lows/bass work harmoniously with the above mentioned. The Sennheiser equalizer is easy to use, and gets the job done. Touch controls: they take getting used to, but, once you adapt, it works great. Yes, at times you may pause music when touching the right ear cup, but again, you will adapt and recover. Comfort. These cans are extremely comfortable. Even for my large head. Ear cushions are comfy, as is the head cushion. Could it use more cushion? Maybe if you wear them for 8 hrs straight. Weight. Yes, they way a tad bit more than the competition, but, that is to be expected as the battery is slightly larger...hence why you can get up to 60hrs of life on these bad boys! The cans don't feel cheap, they feel solid. And that is something I can appreciate. Are these cans perfect? They are as close to perfect that you will get (IMHO) on Bluetooth headsets. Are there better cans out there? Sure, If you go wired, and spend a few hundred more, then yes. Even Sennheiser wired headsets (depending what model you get) are better, but that's because they are wired. Of course they will sound better.One thing I didn't discuss is noise canceling. They get the job done in fine fashion. I have tried the Sony 5s, and they are slightly better than the Senn 4s. I have made several phones calls, FaceTime calls and the voice activation works wonderfully! I am 7000+ miles away from home, and not one complaint on how I sound, or, how the other end sounds. Lastly, battery life. It claims you can get 60hrs of life once fully charged. That is a fact, as I have tested that claim and 59+ hours the first charge, not quite there for the second charge. Mind you, it will lose an hour or two depending on what you have activated.Accessories. Well, you can listen to these cans wired, especially if you run out of charge. You will need a dongle (I purchased one from Amazon) and they sound great. It will sound different, and you may need to adjust you equalizer. The case the cans come with is a solid, good quality case with charging type C cable, 3.5 wired jack, and an airplane adaptor to plug your cable into so you can listen to movies or music that the plane is playing. And it all is neatly stored within the case.Final thoughts:I honestly feel that alot of the issues that some people reviewed on Amazon is these headsets have "buggy" issues, or connectivity issues. Perhaps some just don't know how to do firmware updates, the phone they are using is dated? Not sure, all I know is mine cans fired right up, and I did the update straight away. These cans have Bluetooth 5.2, so it should be able to connect to any device that's out there currently. Yes, touch panel does take some getting used to. Much like driving a truck, then driving a sport car. It may take a moment to get familiar with the vehicle, but once you do, it's a piece of cake.I decided to take a chance, I did my research outside of Amazon reviews, and watched the pros on YouTube, and that's how I ended up buying these. Big risk considering I am a world away. Give em a try, you can always return them if they aren't for you.

I have been daily driving these for a few days now. Hands down, these are some pretty dang good cans. The audio quality is quite clear. The treble and mods are super accurate and crisp and the bass is bright and boomy, yet still high fidelity, however as they are closed back headphones, the soundstage isn't the best; although still pretty damn good for closed backs. Comparing the audio quality to a pair of Sennheiser HD-400s (open-back audiophile studio headphones,) the sound itself is on par at the very least, it's quite good. The noise canceling is pretty good too, compared to Bose Quietcomfort Ultras that I tried, it's not quite as good, but still quite effective; and of course the audio quality isn't even close, the Momentum 4 is MUCH better. Bluetooth works without any hitched, even using AptX connectivity and connected to 2 devices at once. The buttons take a bit to get used to, but are very useful once you get used to them, especially since the touchpad acts as a volume slider. The auto pause gets a little annoying when you're sleeping with them on, especially if you're a side-sleeper, but you can turn it off in the app and then its good. Build quality is good very premium feeling headband made of good rubber and canvas, with the plastic cups feeling rich and velvety. They fit quite comfortably on me. They're really good for on the go. Definitely worth the $269 I spent. 8.7/10 for me. I will be daily driving these, the audio and feel are luxury.

Overall nice headset4/5 Comfort. I have a small head and it fits on the smallest setting, but it does clamp tight.4/5 Sound quality. But I have yet to find a headset that sounds as clear as regular speakers do. I’ve been told it’s a different sound profile so maybe I’m wrong, but that’s just my opinion.4/5 Directional sound. If you like immersive sound, the front and both sides are good, but you can’t tell much for behind you. If your primary use is for cinema, this might not be *that* big of a deal, but for gaming it’s not the best.2.5/5 Audio while on discord call, specifically on Windows PC. I’ve had issues with this. If you want to keep it wireless, you will lose your sound quality AND directional audio. The sound gets deep fried and it’s really disappointing, but it works okay-ish. If you wire it and use a separate mic, you can set your mic input to the mic, then set the audio output to the headphones, you’ll be golden. This is obviously not specifically designed for gaming, so this is passable. The manual does say this was designed specifically for Apple products, so this makes sense.TLDR: I like it, but it’s got room for improvement in some areas!
