In addition to a 2.5 mm jack (3.5mm source), this will also accept signal from its USB C charging port. So any phone or computer with USB C can play music to these cans. This was a feature on the Momentum 3s as well. I own the 3 and they are fantastic, I can't wait to get my hands on a 4! Thanks for a good video.
Do you know this as a fact or are you just guessing? Because I was led to understand that you can't have signal through the Type C port since it's only designed for charging, but you can use the wireless while it's charging, and you can connect the 3.5mm jack to get sound while you're charging as well. It sounds dumb, but it would already be an improvement from other models and manufacturers.
@@MarianChicu I see your point about it being absurd to see a technical regression from one model to the next, but I've seen more aggregius downgrades in the past. Most people would say that not being able to fold the device is bad enough. I wouldn't use the previous model having a feature as proof that the following one has the same disposition as well.
@@emapelikanova478 Yes, manual says "While the headphones are being charged, you can still listen to music or make phone calls. In this case, however, the charging time may be longer."
I got the momentum 4's a few days ago and the noise cancellation was slightly worse than the Sony 1000xm5's until I turned the wind noise reduction off. The wind noise reduction is bugged so when it is on max it decreases the noise cancelling instead of increasing it. Now it is just as strong without it on.
I saw in many reviews that the sennheiser ANC was worse and it's true. However, it's like saying you got a car that go at 300km/h and then the other goes to 280km/h so the latter is obviously much worse. The ANC isn't bad at all, it's just a 8.5/10 instead of the 10/10 of Sony or Bose. HOWEVER. This is an headphone, i guess we usually pick these to enjoy our music, videos or whatever media we're playing and that aspect : it's the best i ever used period. It's honestly insane the difference from other in its price range : mainly, Bose QC45 and Sony Xm4 and even the XM5 which is much more expensive. Frankly didn't expect that level of sound quality. So yeah, the ANC isn't the absolute best but its sound is and to me, that is by far the most important.
I tried these headphones in one of the audio shops, and to be honest i really like the sound, and also the ANC. I own a momentum 3, the ANC is not the best on these headphones, but on the momentum 4 it is really nice, close to the XM5-s (i own one this one as well). It felt comfortable, the sound was similar to the momentum 3. I want to sell my XM5 and Momentum 3, then buy the Momentum 4. I think it merges all the good things about these headphones, and leaves the bad thing behind. But i dont really like how manufacturers are using this modern look, i mean it is not bad, but feels really cheap. I owned a XM3, it had leather earpads, also the momentum had leather, i understand that we really want to be enviromentally friendly, but with the vegan lether and this really light plasticy feel it feels cheap, when i hold these new headphones. My Momentum 3 is a 3 years old technology and design, but feels premium. The XM5 and the Momentum 4 just doesnt. Dont get me wrong i am not against these new enviromentally fridendly things, but to me this looks like a marketing act, i bought a WF-1000 XM4 earbuds, it is packed within recycled paper box that cannot be closed ever again how it was, you can just trow it away, and store your accessories where ever you want. It cost 85 000 in my currency, while i can buy the Linkbuds S with normal, shiny package, that can be repacked and it costs 70 000.... and the Linkbuds are the newer earbuds. This also happens with the XM5 you get a paper package.... But if you dont buy the premium headphone, then you can have the shiny box that can be closed... If i want to resell my product, then a good closable box is better then a trowaway paper box... Does this mean that you can only save Earth with premium products?
Just ordered my Momentum for a really good discount! Can't wait! Have a really old pair of Sennheiser, not so expensive ones, but I love the sound quality. These ones are going to be a big step up in soundquality and ANC as well!!! I'm super excited! No more annoying people on the underground, I can just ignore them!!! 😄
Thanks for the review! I just wanted to ask you a question. I bought Momentum 4 and used it for 2 days. I noticed that when I turn my head around, I can hear a plastic click inside the earcups, both left and right. I come from Momentum 3 that was in steel, no plastic at all. Do you feel the same? Try it with no sound, just wear it and turn your head around. I don’t know if it’s my product that is defected, but if it’s a common issue, I think I’ll return it to Sennheiser. Please let me know, thanks!
What any influencer FORGET to mention about this model is the FIRMWARE UNSTABILITY...which is very annoyng - smart pause and head detection is terible...wont detect when i remove my headsets, only if i put them on my neck....also not start/pause automatically - the headset also suddenly shutdown even if is streaming....randomly - sound is good but not as hood as expected and the app even if usefull, could break the sound if you dont know more about sound quality. I am a bit dissapointed but is still acceptable to keep them because of sound and battery. It seem You didnt test them too much...
I just bought the Momentum 4's. I own: Momentum (original wired), DT770 Pro 80ohm, DT1990 PRO, Sony WF-1000XM3 and have listened to Airpods Max and highend HIFIMAN + HD800s. I am really happy with the momentum 4's. For the money they sound great. Bought online without ever seeing or hearing them. Don't regret it at all. P.S Airpods max are crap compared to all my listed headphones because the treble range is disgusting and sounds metallic/tinny. The mids and bass are quality but the treble makes them sound cheap.
Something nobody seems to mention in headphone reviews is the size of the ear cups. This to me is important. My ears touch the back of the ear cups on my XM5's. Do these Senn's have a larger ear cup than the XM5's? Thanks.
@@MarianChicu Compared to M3 wireless, m4 wireless earcups are smaller as my ears will touch the inside of the ear cup a little, and feel abit of the sides of the earcup around the ear. My ears are more outside pointing kind (hope that made sense) When I wear M3 wireless, my ears do not touch the earcups at all, it was really spacious, hope this helps
Regarding color options, there are now two SE variants, Copper, and Denim. Just ordered the former, here's hoping the kinks mentioned have been ironed out.
im very dissatisfied I just got them today, I cannot even get them connected via bluetooth with my MacBook Pro 16", I was expecting more from the sound I bought to listen to rock and metal but im very disappointed
Gotta compare them to my current PXC 550-II and see how they sound; battery + AptX Adaptive and better ANC along with plain design are definitely looking good.
i just got momentum 4 as a replacement for my beloved pxc550-II through, they are a clear step up. first thing i noticed is that the lower notes are much stronger, the bass is deeper and more noticeble when the volume is not maxed out.
Thank you for this content! My question is that If we only consider pure sound quality in room conditions, Which one sounds better Momentum 4 or Airpods Max? (More clear audio, less distortion, sound stage etc.) Others also so important but I want to buy something which sounds really really good. Thank you for your honest answer. (I will use my iPhone with Apple Music + Spatial Audio)
Momentum 4 are the best in 2023 in wireless headphones. Nothing could beat it. To have a more balanced sound put eqaulizer to Flat Regarding Anc - Its nearly good as Xm4 but my home is silent and don’t wanna use Anc However I encountered a problem. It made my ears warm very fast. Sadly I didn’t find any earpad replacements on the internet as these earpads are glued to a plastic frame and comes out like what apple did with Airpods Max Sadly i had to return it. So if this didn’t made your ears warm. Go for it 💯 percent Hope Sennheiser will release velour or hybrid velour earpads replacement sooner or later. When that happens i will buy them again Sadly i had to settle with Audio Technica M50X-BT2
@@anUntouchable hmm they are super premium but i have to wait for the rtings review on them to check the values and graphs. Rtings haven’t released it yet.
@@anUntouchable Even if B&O is a very expensive one. Their focus is more on design than accurate sound. So for someone like me who values sound quality has to be beware of this “fashion” brand
Great review but I was curious about a test with glasses on. I have been hanging onto my Sony M4 for awhile because they are perfect with and without glasses on
Id love these definitely. On another note, the personality change I witness when watching your videos in 1.25x speed vs normal is staggeringly stark. It's amazing. I actually enjoy the 1.25x Uncle Spurt infinitely more than the normal speed. Go on..... try it.
Not sure what you people are using as a source for the music, but anyone hoping to get good quality audio from these cans with a Samsung Galaxy phone will be sorely disappointed (As I was). For some unknown reason Samsung has removed all compatible codecs from their phone except SBC (garbage) and Aptx, that's it. No Aptx adaptive or Aptx (HD) and bizarrely these things are NOT compatible with LDAC. So, you're basically listening to high bitrate Mp3's at around 330kb. In other words, they sound shithouse. They're no good with iPhones either, best codec you can expect is a lossy AAC which sounds equally horrible.
I had to switch these two times allready, because the joint of the band and cup started to make creecking noise, really annoyoing when moved head or chewed gum that crackling sound made me crazy. Got new pair and same thing, now it wast just the other side than previous. Otherwise no complaints, audio quality was pleasing, a bit bassy but still good. Anc is ok but not even close than my old Sony XM4.
I have a Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless headphone. I use it when it's hot or for casual running, but unfortunately, the headphones eventually get moist from sweat. The problem is, the Adaptive Noise Cancellation (ANC) seems to stop working after the first bit of sweat. It's disappointing that headphones costing over $400 aren't even mildly water-resistant, especially since sweating is a normal part of exercise. Even DJs can get wet from jumping and dancing! Aside from the sweat issue, the overall quality feels lacking. The sound is the only truly good aspect of these headphones. The ability to pair with two Bluetooth devices seems like a useful feature, but in practice, it's unreliable. You get noises and glitches whenever the second device connects or receives sound, and the audio quality suffers badly when both devices are playing. The ANC itself also feels ineffective. In essence, you're paying a premium price for just the good sound quality. Everything else, from the software to the build quality, feels cheap. There are other headphone brands out there that offer excellent sound along with better features and durability. This particular model just isn't worth the money.
I bought them yesterday and unfortunately I already have some issues with them. I think the balance is slightly off. The right driver seems to be louder. Don't have that issue with other headphones. Also, everytime I take them off and on again the touch pad doesn't work anymore. I have to shut them completely down and restart them again to work or deactivate autopause. Very annoying. Anybody else having troubles like this?
@@frank6433 Wind noise reduction, battery life and the equalizer are better with the Sennheiser, also the bass is more powerful. Comfort, size, build quality, clamping pressure and for me most important the crystal clear Sound is better with the B&W (59cm head circumference). Furthermore the B&W only have haptic buttons, no touch, wich I also prefer.
The amount of problems im reading about the momentum 4 is terrifying, every where in reddit you find threads of problems with connection, sound problems and app problems... Of course all reviews say its really good and not a single mention of these problems... They are all paid promotions, returned mine without even opening the box
Well, I'm looking at these pretty hard, but when I I read on Amazon about them and comments, before I get much farther, the yellowish caution sign says, frequently returned item. Hmmmm. I guess it's down to Sony or Bose. But still can't rule out edifier.
Them ear cups look a little small for a lump of a bloke like me. The Sony WFXM4's were too small on one ear for me also. Thanks for the review. Sigh! Not fair!
I appreciate you work very much ,momentum 4 they are good on paper to big on head and anc unless you turn volume really high is not acceptable at all,have maxpods,Sony,Bose,momentum does not deserve all those fanfares really, totally disappointed,when i called sinheiser service foe help i did not get any,oh yes they told me if they are uncomfortable stretch them overs sofa,sorry i dont want to ruin your review , its just my experience
Like you, I have been gifted with a bald head! Big headphones make us look like the Cybermen from Dr Who! But based on this review I have ordered a pair with a great deal for black Friday. I had and sold a pair of XM5's as they were too bloody brilliant but, like I said, I looked like a Dr Who audition! They were just too big. I am feeling optimistic about these. Great reviews as ever!
Im excited mine just shipped out ! first time splurging on a pair of over ear wireless headphones. Now that I have an office that I work in I feel like having some comfy cans will be super nice. I was looking at potentially getting Air Max’s because of my Apple setup. But I took the leap of faith on these because My Momentum True Wireless have served me well.
Hi, would you say the 4 is a big step up over the 3? I had to send my momentum 3's back to the shop recently and I have been wondering whether to replace with another momentum 3 or upgrade to the 4?
What did you end up going with? Btw what was wrong with your Momentum 3s? Seems like Momentums suffer a lot of tech faults. I hear a lot of people need to return them, and my Momentum 2s just completely died on me.
@@system2213 so I had to send the 3s back cause of an issue with the mic. On phone calls people couldn't hear me very well. I eventually decided to get the 4s, I think that the 4 are better than the 3 and I'm glad I upgraded. The 3s look better and more stylish but the 4 is better overall, better battery, more comfortable for me, to me sound is a bit better, but, maybe I need to do a proper A B test to be sure.
Hi, just bought new Momeentum4 and have the following issues. I bought a reputable brand "3.5mm to USB-C" adapter (Anker) to hook my Momentum 4 headphones to my Samsung S20+ phone. I know the adapter is good because I compared it to a Samsung genetic "3.5mm to USB-C" adapter and it sounds better than it, but I did this initial comparison with other wired headphones. So, when I tried the new adapter on my Momentum 4 headphones (via the included 2.5mm to 3.5mm cable) they sounded worse than when paired via Bluetooth. The sound is more hollow or muffled. (one note: when listening via this cable and my new adapter the headphones are switched off). Is it possible that via Bluetooth connection the sound is better than via the cable? How is this possible? Everybody says that wired connection is better than Bluetooth connection sound wise. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Not sure if you were still confused but bluetooth will always sound better on wireless headphones because the headphone will do digital sound processing and when your using an adaptor like you tried you are taking a digital signal to an analogue signal and back to digital again so it won't sound as good.
My first thought they may b premium but they don't look premium. In all honesty they look like they cost £50 and I know its all about the sound and anc but if I'm throwing £350.00 on a pair of headphones then I'm sorry but I want them to look the part.

@davidscoots2007 I'm in the same boat as you. I have seen SOOO many reviews from Audiophiles to Joe Blogs and Influencers. I have also scoured the reviews for many devices on Currys, Amazon, Argos and I've googled various problems that have been reported with many devices. What does it come down to? I guess it depends on what exactly is most important to us personally. For me it's ANC and build quality. I've seen reports of the XM4 and XM5 models breaking easily but the ANC is King on the Sony's. I thought to myself, well, perhaps I could mitigate the build issue by being super careful, OR by jumping ship and going for earbuds with ANC. But then, I'm not sure, and that's where I'm left. What about you, what are you weighing up?
I absolutely loved my momentum 2s! The stainless steel cup sliders with black leather and yellow stitching. I dropped them a few times and damaged the cup sliding mechanism. I sent them back to sennheiser and they said they arent able to fix them! So they kept them and gave me my money back. I told them I would rather have my headphones back but they wouldnt send then! I havent forgiven them for that yet
My Momentum 2s just died completely. It was impossible to charge them so I took it to a repair shop hoping it was just a slightly faulty charging port but he said the whole thing is buggered and it won't be worth fixing them. I honestly didn't even use them much and I took care of them so seems pretty poorly made if they broke. Nonetheless, I did find them comfortable and sound quality great so considering the Momentum 4s to replace them.
I wonder how they can just add like 40 hours of battery time from they’re old ones, like even the closest competitors barely have half the battery. surely it can’t be jus new technology cos wouldn’t other brands have something closer too
I installed today the last firmware (2.6.13) and I cannot equalize the sound anymore. I mean that there is any difference between equalizers, no matter what I do. The sound is always exactly the same. This doesn’t happened with the “original” firmware. How is it possible? I’m the only one with this problem?
wish some one do a proper review of these headphones from Sony to bose to senheiser for movies watching instead of just focusing on music or it noise canceling eg like which is better for bringing out the sound effects in a action movie
Momentum 2 hurt the top of my head so I sold them. Same with some other ones. I have a narrow head so suspect the clamping not tight enough... how do these Momentum 4 compare? Are they tighter than the M2? thanks.
Great video Review. Could you tell me what size difference there is between the Senny 4 and the Bose 45. I loved the size of the 45.. but now think bite the bullet on the 4’s…?

I will keep the vid going for your youtube stats. But you lose me at no-headphone-jack
'spaffed into your ears' thanks for that imagery. :P
Between Sony xm5 and Sennheiser M5 which one is LOUDER ❤️
Sony are louder
I’ve read a review about them having unbalanced drivers, can you hear sound differences between the right and left side?
Hi tech spurt!
Hi
Sup bro?
👋
I know I'm late, are these good for the gym too?
Does anyone know if the app is required to use these headphones? I want a set of Bluetooth cans that don't need an app and simply connect. 👍
I have a Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless headphone. I use it when it's hot or for casual running, but unfortunately, the headphones eventually get moist from sweat. The problem is, the Adaptive Noise Cancellation (ANC) seems to stop working after the first bit of sweat. It's disappointing that headphones costing over $400 aren't even mildly water-resistant, especially since sweating is a normal part of exercise. Even DJs can get wet from jumping and dancing!
Aside from the sweat issue, the overall quality feels lacking. The sound is the only truly good aspect of these headphones. The ability to pair with two Bluetooth devices seems like a useful feature, but in practice, it's unreliable. You get noises and glitches whenever the second device connects or receives sound, and the audio quality suffers badly when both devices are playing. The ANC itself also feels ineffective.
In essence, you're paying a premium price for just the good sound quality. Everything else, from the software to the build quality, feels cheap. There are other headphone brands out there that offer excellent sound along with better features and durability. This particular model just isn't worth the money.
I bought them yesterday and unfortunately I already have some issues with them. I think the balance is slightly off. The right driver seems to be louder. Don't have that issue with other headphones. Also, everytime I take them off and on again the touch pad doesn't work anymore. I have to shut them completely down and restart them again to work or deactivate autopause. Very annoying. Anybody else having troubles like this?
Careful, this is a fraud, don't answer via telegram.
Sounds faulty (pun not intended). I'd return and get replacement.
@@JedBullet Yeah, already did. Thanks. Went for B&W PX7 S2 after comparision.
@@oxnardmontalvo1224 What do you think about the M4 Vs the Px7 s2?
@@frank6433 Wind noise reduction, battery life and the equalizer are better with the Sennheiser, also the bass is more powerful. Comfort, size, build quality, clamping pressure and for me most important the crystal clear Sound is better with the B&W (59cm head circumference). Furthermore the B&W only have haptic buttons, no touch, wich I also prefer.
The amount of problems im reading about the momentum 4 is terrifying, every where in reddit you find threads of problems with connection, sound problems and app problems... Of course all reviews say its really good and not a single mention of these problems... They are all paid promotions, returned mine without even opening the box
Are you being paid for this review?
Well, I'm looking at these pretty hard, but when I I read on Amazon about them and comments, before I get much farther, the yellowish caution sign says, frequently returned item. Hmmmm. I guess it's down to Sony or Bose. But still can't rule out edifier.
best thing about it is the battery life, best out there
Is it better than new launched JBL tour one m2? With respect of sound quality and bass?
It charges via type-c, just as your smartphone..
*Cries in iPhone*
Also, how do they compare against the AirPods Max?
In your opinion, which is better - Sennheiser Momentum 4 vs Sony WH-1000XM5 vs Bose nc700 please?
Oh great question! A side by side comparison would be interesting
Them ear cups look a little small for a lump of a bloke like me. The Sony WFXM4's were too small on one ear for me also. Thanks for the review. Sigh! Not fair!
Is it okay to use this while working out?
Watching with my XM5s, kinda regretted pre ordering them because I didn't have the chance to choose between sony and sennheiser
Be happy, these Senny cans are shit.
i have the momentum 3 wireless
big difference in sound with these?
I appreciate you work very much ,momentum 4 they are good on paper to big on head and anc unless you turn volume really high is not acceptable at all,have maxpods,Sony,Bose,momentum does not deserve all those fanfares really, totally disappointed,when i called sinheiser service foe help i did not get any,oh yes they told me if they are uncomfortable stretch them overs sofa,sorry i dont want to ruin your review , its just my experience
Do noise cancelling headphones cancel out music, like in the gym or when next door have a party at 1am?
Like you, I have been gifted with a bald head! Big headphones make us look like the Cybermen from Dr Who! But based on this review I have ordered a pair with a great deal for black Friday.
I had and sold a pair of XM5's as they were too bloody brilliant but, like I said, I looked like a Dr Who audition! They were just too big.
I am feeling optimistic about these.
Great reviews as ever!
Should I get these or the QC 45?
Which one is better? beats Studio 3 or This? Thanks
As far as confort how do they compare to Bose’s qc45?
How does it fare against the Edifier S3 Stax Spirit?
I've momentum 3s and sounds brilliant watching TV is just totally different, works when playing xbox. Must get these 🛸
hi sir Sennheiser momentum4 for special Audio Plus 360 surrounded audio availability
Dude if they look that big on you, I’m done for. But I want that sound quality, sick of Sonys.
Hey Chris how many kidneys will I have to harvest to buy these premium headphones
They are 350$, so only one kidney should suffice
There is a 2.5mm jack connection & 2.5mm -> 3.5mm cable included.. It says so on their website where you can preorder.
Im excited mine just shipped out ! first time splurging on a pair of over ear wireless headphones. Now that I have an office that I work in I feel like having some comfy cans will be super nice. I was looking at potentially getting Air Max’s because of my Apple setup. But I took the leap of faith on these because My Momentum True Wireless have served me well.
Hi, looking for ANC wireless headphones, with plenty of volume, and great sound, I listen to hiphop/r&b, for around £350 max, any suggestions thx
Hi, would you say the 4 is a big step up over the 3?
I had to send my momentum 3's back to the shop recently and I have been wondering whether to replace with another momentum 3 or upgrade to the 4?
What did you end up going with? Btw what was wrong with your Momentum 3s? Seems like Momentums suffer a lot of tech faults. I hear a lot of people need to return them, and my Momentum 2s just completely died on me.
@@system2213 so I had to send the 3s back cause of an issue with the mic. On phone calls people couldn't hear me very well.
I eventually decided to get the 4s, I think that the 4 are better than the 3 and I'm glad I upgraded.
The 3s look better and more stylish but the 4 is better overall, better battery, more comfortable for me, to me sound is a bit better, but, maybe I need to do a proper A B test to be sure.
Hi, just bought new Momeentum4 and have the following issues. I bought a reputable brand "3.5mm to USB-C" adapter (Anker) to hook my Momentum 4 headphones to my Samsung S20+ phone. I know the adapter is good because I compared it to a Samsung genetic "3.5mm to USB-C" adapter and it sounds better than it, but I did this initial comparison with other wired headphones.
So, when I tried the new adapter on my Momentum 4 headphones (via the included 2.5mm to 3.5mm cable) they sounded worse than when paired via Bluetooth. The sound is more hollow or muffled. (one note: when listening via this cable and my new adapter the headphones are switched off). Is it possible that via Bluetooth connection the sound is better than via the cable? How is this possible? Everybody says that wired connection is better than Bluetooth connection sound wise.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Not sure if you were still confused but bluetooth will always sound better on wireless headphones because the headphone will do digital sound processing and when your using an adaptor like you tried you are taking a digital signal to an analogue signal and back to digital again so it won't sound as good.
I bought a pair today. I'm having trouble boosting the volume up as it's too low. Doesn't seem to be any volume control.
My first thought they may b premium but they don't look premium. In all honesty they look like they cost £50 and I know its all about the sound and anc but if I'm throwing £350.00 on a pair of headphones then I'm sorry but I want them to look the part.
Hello 👋, can you recommend a phone up to 200e, according to your experience😄
Not only this headphone is ergonomic, your head too
Ooh, wasn't looking for a new pair but dayum
"the Sony Momentum 4s"?
Great review. I made my choice to buy these instead Focal Bathys. half price and sound same as the Bathys
How are they after 2 months?
@@mikeneilson3722 What suppose to be after 2 mounts exactly ? They’re perfect
Can you use them wired by connecting the usbc to a laptop or phone? Just wondering if they can be used wired to listen to lossless audio.
I believe so
After update 2.13.28, you now have a 5 Band equalizer. I love those, they’re awesome, lol 😊
Dear - जो लोग इस वक्त मेरे कॉमेंट को पढ़ रहे है हम सभी एक दूसरे से अनजान है फिर भी मैं भगवान से प्रार्थना करती हूँ कि आपके जीवन मे कोई टेंशन ना रहे और आप हमेशा खुश रहे 💔❤
I reviewed the Momentum 3’s and it seems like they listened to complaints people had and nailed it. Good job Sennheiser!!
Super happy you are using the nothing phone.
Love high quality sounds spaffed into my ears 😆
Love your video's, very entertaining and I love how you don't give a f..k 🤣😊👍
How about it Price wise shenanigan U.K. ( where are Southampton UK $ QUID )
how does this compare with XM4000?
@davidscoots2007 I'm in the same boat as you. I have seen SOOO many reviews from Audiophiles to Joe Blogs and Influencers. I have also scoured the reviews for many devices on Currys, Amazon, Argos and I've googled various problems that have been reported with many devices. What does it come down to? I guess it depends on what exactly is most important to us personally. For me it's ANC and build quality. I've seen reports of the XM4 and XM5 models breaking easily but the ANC is King on the Sony's. I thought to myself, well, perhaps I could mitigate the build issue by being super careful, OR by jumping ship and going for earbuds with ANC. But then, I'm not sure, and that's where I'm left. What about you, what are you weighing up?
I absolutely loved my momentum 2s! The stainless steel cup sliders with black leather and yellow stitching. I dropped them a few times and damaged the cup sliding mechanism. I sent them back to sennheiser and they said they arent able to fix them! So they kept them and gave me my money back. I told them I would rather have my headphones back but they wouldnt send then! I havent forgiven them for that yet
My Momentum 2s just died completely. It was impossible to charge them so I took it to a repair shop hoping it was just a slightly faulty charging port but he said the whole thing is buggered and it won't be worth fixing them. I honestly didn't even use them much and I took care of them so seems pretty poorly made if they broke. Nonetheless, I did find them comfortable and sound quality great so considering the Momentum 4s to replace them.
@@system2213 unlucky mate... they were and are still the best looking headphones to date
I have Momentum 3, much better in my opinion than Sony and Bose in terms of pure music quality. I wonder how 4 sounds in comparison.
How is the case? Is smaller than xm5 case?
Many thanks. Is there noticeable latency (e.g. watching movies) with wireless and if plugged in?
Color options? Lol….*crickets* maybe next time
I wonder how they can just add like 40 hours of battery time from they’re old ones, like even the closest competitors barely have half the battery. surely it can’t be jus new technology cos wouldn’t other brands have something closer too
How do these compare to the M3? I am finding that no one is comparing them.
How is it compared to the momentum 3’s?
U r a funny guy..... I mean really funny.. Jokes apart can you please tell whether these have dolby atmos support with oneplus 8t?
I installed today the last firmware (2.6.13) and I cannot equalize the sound anymore. I mean that there is any difference between equalizers, no matter what I do. The sound is always exactly the same. This doesn’t happened with the “original” firmware. How is it possible? I’m the only one with this problem?
Same exact problem. Are you on a newer Samsung phone?
wish some one do a proper review of these headphones from Sony to bose to senheiser for movies watching instead of just focusing on music or it noise canceling eg like which is better for bringing out the sound effects in a action movie
Momentum 2 hurt the top of my head so I sold them. Same with some other ones. I have a narrow head so suspect the clamping not tight enough... how do these Momentum 4 compare? Are they tighter than the M2? thanks.
Sennheiser advertises these with a 3.5mm jack, so which is it, does it have the jack or not>?
Is this or sony xm4 better buy
Got mine today. Pretty amazing ;)
Thank you for review💚
Would these be an upgrade to the Audio Technika M50 X bt?
Did they ever get voice right? I used to hate how Sennheiser compresses the voice.
Out of curiosity how good are they for PC gaming I've used the Bose QC45 headphones for gaming and they were fine for me
They might be durable, but they dont have water protection, so bit risky in the rain?
Great video Review.
Could you tell me what size difference there is between the Senny 4 and the Bose 45.
I loved the size of the 45.. but now think bite the bullet on the 4’s…?
