Top reviews from the United States
There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Comfort: Comfort was my main reason for upgrading from the Momentum 3. It's very satisfactory on the M4. It's better than the Sony XM5, and far better than the M3, but many say that the Bose QC Ultra is better. I've only briefly tested the Ultra, but this seems right to me. The headbands on the M3 and XM5 both get quite uncomfortable after a few hours.
Design: The black and copper design has been my favorite of any headphones I've owned so far, even worth the extra $30 to me. The case is also sleek and feels premium. Sennheiser has taken a more "boring" modern design this generation but the result outclasses the XM5 and QC Ultra in my personal opinion.
Sound: The sound quality is a noticeable step up from the M3, and the M4 is my favorite sound signature compared to the current generation's Sony XM5 and Bose QuietComfort Ultra. The EQ is highly customizable in the app. Sennheiser is famous for its audio for a reason.
Companion App: Easy to use and convenient for managing your connected devices / checking codecs. You can even see the codec being used when playing audio from a different device. The Sony app has more features and is generally better. Both apps are simple and functional, which I like. The Bose app is a pain every time I have to use it: failing to identify devices, failing firmware updates and necessitating factory resets, forcing between ANC/transparency with no "off" setting, and having the least useful equalizer of the three apps.
Touch Controls: A big upgrade over the tiny buttons on the M3. They feel on par with the touch controls on the XM5.
Gestures: Unfortunately the controls are not customizable, but they are simple and do everything I need. The XM5 has more useful gestures/features, such as cupping your hand for temporary transparency, or activating transparency by speaking.
Active Noise Cancellation: it's pretty good, definitely better than the M3. But today's XM5 and Bose QC Ultra do better. Its intensity is customizable via the app.
Transparent Hearing: It's loud & clear, but doesn't sound very natural. It sounds more like a recording. Also customizable in the app. I think the XM5 does this better. I haven't tested the QC Ultra on this.
The auto-on / auto-off feature is extremely convenient. By putting the M4s in the case, it will automatically turn off. Taking them out of the case will automatically turn them back on. This is equivalent to the M3s, which would turn on by unfolding them.
Multipoint makes for a pleasingly simple experience. I don't have to spend time pressing buttons to turn the device on/off or pair. I just put the headphones on and start playing audio from either my PC or phone.
I haven't tested the battery life, but it dominates the market right now at ~60hrs. Not so useful for my situation but great for travel.
Conclusion: All-around fantastic headphones with many strengths and no major weaknesses. If you care about design, wireless PC gaming, battery life, or sound quality, the Momentum 4 is a clear winner coming in at a lower price. Depending on your situation, you may be better off with the Sony XM5 (for features/ANC) or the Bose QuietComfort Ultra (for comfort/ANC).
But, that all changed in late 2022. On a whim, I tried the newish Sony WH-1000XM5 and was surprised at how good they sounded. The noise cancellation was excellent with little of the rushing elevator sound--and boy, the sound was terrific. For the first time I felt like using a wireless headphone wasn't a big step-down from wired. The M5's soundstage was truly impressive, rivaling my Focal Clear MG wired 'phones. Plus, the M5s were much lighter, more portable, and a bit more fun. The new Sony's were a magnitude better than the older Sonys, as well as anything wireless I'd heard before.
That got me wondering: If the Sony's are this good, maybe something by Bowers and Wilkins or Sennheiser would be even better. After all, Sony caters to the mass market, which is generally not that discerning when it comes to audio. Whereas, B&W and Sennheiser typically aim more for the smaller, high-end, audiophile market. So, I started comparing the MX5 to the new B&W Px7 S2 and new Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless.
Here's what I found:
In the past, like the Sonys, the B&Ws and Sennheiser wireless 'phones were disappointments, falling far short (for me) of their wired, non-NC counterparts. No longer, because the new models are dramatically better. Without going into lots of detail (something audiophiles love to do), both the Px7 S2 and the Momentum 4 are a leap forward in every way than their predecessors. Are they better than the MX5, yes, but not by much. As others have said, the MX5 has better software, better NC, is very portable, and pretty comfortable. For many, the slight compromise in audio quality may not be a big deal. I could easily live with the MX5. However, my priority is sound quality since I seldom use NC, and, even if the software of the B&Ws and Sennheisers is only acceptable.
Therefore, it came down to the Px7 S2 vs. Momentum 4 for me. The Px7 S2 is much nicer to look at, exuding high quality. The Momentum 4, not so much. In fact, they look like an MX5 knock-off with a few upscale touches. The software of both the Px7 S2 and Momentum 4 is mediocre at best, albeit functional.
Now about the sound. The Px7 S2 sound really, really good. Bass, Midrange, Treble are all top notch, if not perfect. They're fun to listen to, with a wide soundstage and energetic dynamics. That said, they're tuned to emphasize the lower frequencies a bit too much for my tastes. At first, this makes music and voices more vibrant and robust, but, over time, it gets tiring, and you're realize what you're hearing isn't all that accurate. If I hadn't listened to the Momentum 4s, I probably would have been quite happy with the Px7 S2.
But, I did listen to the Momentum 4. It edges out thePx7 S2 and MX5 with its overall excellent balance and accuracy. Nothing is exaggerated: voices, instruments, timbre, tone are all just right to my ears. Maybe not as exciting as the Px7 S2 upon first listen, but the Momentum 4s seduce you the more you use them. There's no need for lots of equalization, or fiddling to get the sound right; its all been done at the factory. Besides the accurate representation of voices and instruments, the Momentum 4s are monsters when it comes to soundstage. The placement of everything is wide, yet accurate. You can feel the space and air between different instruments, and where the singer is in the studio or stage. Layering and detail are pretty amazing considering these are bluetooth, closed-back 'phones. Sennheiser (Actually: Sonova, because Sennheiser sold their headphone division to this maker of hearing aids in 2021.) did their homework when it came to the Momentum 4. Plus, that 60 hours of battery life is icing on the cake.
Let me say this in conclusion. You won't go wrong with any of these three headphones. They're all great. I preferred the Momentum 4 because it represents the overall most satisfying package for the money, but you might prefer the Px7 S2, or the MX5, more. One last word, regarding the buggy software of the Momentum 4: I found none. With the latest updates, Sennheiser/Sonova seems have fixed the issues of poor connectivity and consistency. All system functions worked perfectly the entire time I've been using the Momentum 4s. Enjoy!
The build is sleek, attractive, and light weight. I got these on sale for $250. Amazing bargain and easy choice over its competitors such as Bose and Sony that cost more at the time. I have listened to all the new headphones such as the Ultra QC, and 1000XM5. Sound quality wise, the momentum 4's are better.
The negatives: The only reason I didn't give these headphones a full 5 stars is because they are sooo buggy. I have had issues pairing with my mobile device, issues with the touch controls not working at all or only intermittently working, sound randomly cutting out at random intervals for about a second.
They all have their pros and cons, if you are like me and you only care about sound quality, these are it.

Calidad de materiales: Sí, son unos audífonos que se sienten muy premium; las almohadillas, los cables, el estuche, todo es perfecto.
Batería: Creo que las 60 horas anunciadas son un buen estimado. Podrías necesitar cargarlos al 100% una vez por semana bajo uso continuo, lo cual duplica la duración de cualquiera de mis otros audífonos (WH-1000XM5, QC-35 II).
Comodidad: Los pondría al nivel de los WH-1000XM5. Son bastante cómodos, pero tengo las orejas grandes y una parte de ellas no queda cubierta por las almohadillas, lo que puede ser algo incómodo después de varias horas, además de que no sellan completamente el ruido exterior.
Características: La aplicación tiene muchas opciones, aunque todo se presenta de manera bastante desordenada. Creo que lo mejor es simplemente hacer el emparejamiento inicial con la app y dejar los ajustes por defecto.
El apagado y encendido automáticos se sienten como magia; no es necesario apagar los audífonos presionando un botón por varios segundos. Simplemente te los quitas o te los pones, y se apagan o encienden de forma muy natural.
Lleva un poco de tiempo acostumbrarse a los controles táctiles, pero son muy responsivos y es divertido aprender a usarlos.
Conectividad y calidad de sonido:
Como cualquier par de audífonos inalámbricos modernos, utilizan Bluetooth 5.0 o superior. Se obtiene buena calidad de audio al usarlo con un celular, y cuando se conecta a una computadora, se muestra como dos dispositivos: uno es la salida de audio estéreo y el otro es un dispositivo manos libres.
Estos audífonos tienen la característica de poder conectarse directamente a una computadora con un cable USB-C y usarse mientras se cargan. Sin embargo, en ningún lado he visto que se explique lo siguiente:
Cuando estos audífonos se usan por Bluetooth y únicamente se reproduce multimedia, la calidad de la salida estéreo será como máximo:
2 canales, 16 bits, 44100 Hz (Calidad de CD), lo cual proporciona una experiencia de sonido promedio; no es mala, pero tampoco es destacada.
Si estos audífonos se utilizan para reproducción y grabación al mismo tiempo, por ejemplo, al jugar a un juego en línea con chat de voz, los audífonos pasarán al modo manos libres y la máxima calidad será la siguiente:
Reproducción y Grabación: 1 canal, 16 bits, 16000 Hz (Calidad de grabadora de cintas)
La persona del otro lado no tendrá problemas para escuchar tu voz, ya que el micrófono hace un buen trabajo aislando el ruido ambiental, pero la calidad de reproducción es horrible. Entonces, si tenías la esperanza de utilizar estos audífonos para streaming, por ejemplo, busca otra opción o usa un micrófono aparte. Dicho de otro modo, estos audífonos no pueden reproducir audio de alta calidad y grabar desde el micrófono al mismo tiempo, ni por Bluetooth ni alámbricamente.
Finalmente, tenemos el modo alámbrico con cable USB-C, donde de verdad se escucha la diferencia en la calidad de sonido, siendo la máxima calidad disponible:
2 canales, 16 bits, 48000 Hz (Calidad de DVD)
Y debo decir que la calidad de sonido es superior a la de mis Sony WH-1000XM5 y Bose QC-35 II, sin lugar a dudas.
Le doy 5 estrellas por la calidad de sonido en modo alámbrico y la duración de la batería.
English:
Build quality: Yes, these are premium headphones. The headpads, cables, and travel case are simply perfect.
Battery: I think the advertised 60-hour duration is accurate. You might need to fully charge the headphones maybe once a week with continuous use. This easily doubles the battery life of any of my other headphones (WH-1000XM5, QC-35 II).
Comfort: I would say these are on par with the WH-1000XM5 in terms of comfort. They are quite comfortable, but I have big ears, and part of them isn't fully covered by the pads, which can become uncomfortable after several hours. For the same reason, the pads don't completely seal out external noise.
Features: The app offers a ton of options, but everything is really disorganized. I believe it's best to simply go with the initial pairing and leave the defaults as they are.
The automatic on/off feature feels like magic. There's no need to hold down a button for several seconds; you simply put them down or pick them up, and they respond naturally.
It takes some time to get used to the touch controls, but they are quite responsive, and you'll have a lot of fun learning them.
Connectivity and sound quality:
Like any other modern wireless headphones, these use Bluetooth 5.0+. You get good audio quality when used with a smartphone, and when paired with a computer, two devices are available: a standard stereo output and a hands-free device for both output and input.
These headphones have the unique feature of being able to be charged and used at the same time when connected directly to a computer through the supplied USB-C cable. However, what I'm about to describe isn't mentioned elsewhere:
When the headphones are connected via Bluetooth and only media is played, the audio quality will be at most:
2 Channel, 16 bit, 44100 Hz (CD Quality), which is okay. It provides an average experience—not bad, but not outstanding.
If these are used for playback and recording simultaneously (in an online game with voice chat, for example), the headphones will switch to hands-free mode, and the quality will be at most:
Playback and Recording: 1 Channel, 16 bit, 16000 Hz (Tape Recorder Quality). The person on the other end will have no trouble hearing your voice, as the microphone does a good job isolating environmental noise, but the playback quality will be horrible. So, if you were expecting to use the Momentum 4 wireless for streaming or similar purposes, look elsewhere. In other words, these headphones can't play back high-quality audio and record from the microphone at the same time (neither via Bluetooth nor USB-C).
Finally, there's wired mode with USB-C, where you can truly experience the Momentum 4's sound quality at its best:
2 Channel, 16 bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality), and I have to say, the sound quality is noticeably better than my XM5's and QC-35's, without a doubt.
I give these headphones 5 stars because of the sound quality in wired mode and the outstanding battery life.
A qualidade do som é excelente!
Outro recurso legal é guardar o fone no caixa e o aparelho desliga sozinho na mesma hora!
The only flaws are with the gimmicky features that try to emulate the Sony headphones that we were all too 'cool' to buy instead. The touch panels can be finicky in the cold and if you're sweating like the thiccboi/lady that we all are after the lockdowns, the ear sensor can sometimes think that youve taken the headphones off. This will make whatever is playing pause which will then make you have to go through the excruciating motion of tapping them once to play again.
These are still borderline perfect headphones, but of course they had to have all the silly nonsense to appeal to the 17 people who talk to Siri...
The ANC is solid but it's the one place that the Sony flagship headphones do outperform these. Its not really a feature that I'm hard for, but I guess if you're weirdly excited by it, you should for sure go with the Sony cans.
The worst flaw by far is the fact that they took their very creative momentum design and made them look like all the other wannabe sony trendy headphones. Absolutely DEVASTATING for us hipster dorks. While the 10/10 sound quality and comfort does more than make up for no longer looking like a super cool and unique edgelord that "for sure appreciates music way more and has infinitely better taste than all these other normies", I did prefer the old design.
But yeah. 10/10. Would blow $500 on headphones to listen to cringe podcasts again. Buy them, you won't regret it... And if you do regret it it's okay because you just die anyways. :D
Konforu güzel. Saatlerce kullanabilirsiniz.
Baslar keyifli. Kulaklığın en öne çıkan özelliklerinden biri.
Şarj süresine diyecek bir söz yok. Şu an piyasadaki en iyisi yanılmıyorsam. Jak kabloyla da kullaniliyor.
ANC özelliği bence o kadar iyi değil. 4 senelik Kulakiçi Jabra 75t kulaklığım passive noise cancelling ile birlikte daha iyi bir ANC performansı sunuyor. Ama müzikle beraber dış sesi kolay kolay duymuyorsunuz. Transparent modu gayet iyi.
Dokunmatik yüzey çok kullanışlı bence. Ofis ortamında kullanıma çok uygun. Tek tuşla, kaydırma hareketleriyle kolayca geçişler yapabiliyorsunuz.
Kulaklığı amazondan yaklaşık 15 ay önce aldım. O zamandan beridir seyahatte ve masabaşı işimde (hatta bazen oyunlarda) kullanıyorum. Eğer bir odyofil değilseniz, ama kulaklık beni her açıdan tatmin etsin diyorsanız kesinlikle almanızı öneririm. Ben fiyatı 11bin iken almıştım.
