Sennheiser - MOMENTUM 4 Wireless

I have Senn Momentum 4's which are great wireless, but I just got the Hifiman Ananda Nano's and they are fantastic. They are open back, so better for listening in a quieter setting. My headphone testing tune is the Opening jam -> China-> Mind left body jam -> Rider on Dick's Picks 12 (Providence Civic Center 6/26/74 and Boston Garden 6/28/74 . It's my absolute favorite China Riders partially because it is so crystal clear. The soundstage on the Ananda nano's is outstanding- you can hear the position of the band on stage, and the clarity is amazing. It's alot of headphone for 319 right now on Amazon. They are a few years old, but they were 800 or so when they were initially released. They are my end game over the ears (at least for now). I specifically looked for headphones that had the most soundstage because I listen to so much Dead. My listening set up is: ALAC or FLAC from iPhone/iPad/MacBook Pro- Qudelix 5k DAC- Douk audio preamp- Douk audio headphone amp - Ananada's.

Hiya! Sorry to ask so late but i wonder if you end up choosing any headphone? I have the same problem with you, got Sennheiser M4 but had headache even when turn off the ANC, i like XM5 but it ended up broken bc of hinge problem

Sennheiser Momentum 4 over ear headphones. Bulky to carry around but great sound quality and good enough noigh noise cancelling to use on a bus.

I have three of these and will give my opinions. Best for music is clearly the Focal Bathys with the onboard DAC. This rivals my DCA Noire and LCD-3 headphones for separation and clarity. Not as detailed as the LCD-3 but still clearly the best sound profile of the three. The ANC is the worst of the 3 especially for low dB noises. Microphone also worst of the 3. Comfort is ok but not phenomenal. Most comfortable with the best ANC for me is the Bose QC Ultra with the Sony right behind. Bose and Sony both need EQ and I don't see much of a difference between them for that. Sony has more bells and whistles with the APP with a better environment for adaptive sound control if that is of interest to you. And out of the box Sony sound better but for me still needs a lot of EQ to even out the low and high frequencies. Also I'm not a huge fan of the lack of deep cups for the WH1000X6 but that is just my preference for comfort. But agree just test all three by going to big box store or ordering and returning them. I also agree that the #2 for sound is the Sennheiser Momentum 4 which is the best deal of the four.

Have you tried different ear tips to find something more comfortable? A lot of folks prefer the memory foam tips you can get vs silicone as they can be more comfortable/less irritating/stay in your ears better. I can't justify the size over ears take up in my bag now that anc has gotten as good as it is on earbuds. AirPod pros are the only ones I'll bring now on a flight. I used to bring Sony xm3 overears. The xm3/4 fold up pretty well and I don't see anything else taking up much less space (I believe the xm5 went backwards in design from a foldability/compactness standpoint, but the latest xm6 remedied that). I don't think the xm6 price is justifiable over the 4s for instance as these are still just consumer grade/mediocre sounding headphones (just like all Bluetooth stuff for the most part outside of a few like the Focal Bathys). My go to these days from a cost vs sound quality perspective is a pair of refurb sennheiser momentum 4, but the anc isn't nearly on par with Sony/bose/Apple stuff, and they aren't the most compact

The Sennheiser Momentum 4 has usb-c passthrough in addition to 3.5, so you have more options to connect for video editing and gaming. Via EQ and the app they sound great too. Worth a look.

It's fine indeed. You can find much better sound and cheaper price point, but not closed back ANC. That's the main difference. Wireless + closed back + ANC seldom goes hand in hand with fantastic audiophile sound.

I use the Sennheiser Momentum and I'm happy with it. For everyone here who is so pro-Shokz: the Momentum has a very solid mode where you can turn off the ANC.

For pure music quality the Momentum 4s have been the best headphones I've tried so far, they just sound amazing; followed by the B&W PX7 S2.

I'm currently using the Momentum 4 Used it for gaming, wired and wireless (through aptx adaptive), if they don't play competitive games it'll be a solid option as I don't notice much difference in both setups. Big plus, it is super comfy for small head size Also might suggest they take a look at Fractal Design Scape as from many reviews it is also a very compelling option

Hey fellow lofi girl listener! I also used to play audiobooks/podcasts to sleep but gave up in the end due to sleep posture comfort. As for headphone recommendation, I personally use the Sennheiser Momentum 4. I use bluetooth when commuting and wired while at home or work and they are fantastic. While to me the M4 sounds a bit too dark and muddy in the bass with it's stock tuning. You can EQ them with the M21 and probably get both sound quality and portability with it.

For me, the Mommentum 4 are currently the best wireless headphones available. I use them for my job as well as for gaming. Of course, it's not a pure gaming headset, but where do you draw the line?

I like the sound signature on Sennheiser Momentum Wireless. I have the latest version and it's definitely the best so far. But out of the box most don't sound that great for Deathcore, but an app like Wavelet will make a huge difference

It was a bit costly where I live but I definitely went for it since I wanted something that would last long-term. I have been using it for quite some time and used the different sound modes (podcast, rock, dance) .. but I didn't even realize there was a sound personalization option until I read your comment lol (just tried it). I have mostly used mine indoors so the ANC has been more than enough for me. Super cool to hear your experience.

there were a couple of times when sweat got all over the cushions so I cleaned them up immediately. I will keep this in mind, thanks!

Another vote for these, I wear them to the gym, music and people banging weights, you dont hear anything. Updating the firmware is a pain in the ass tho, takes too long and is really flakey. This is from a phone, I havnt tried from a pc

Mic quality apparently isn't too great from another review I watched. Probably about the same as M4. I use the BTD700 to Momentum 4 with Teams and it works great for me. As long as they haven't degraded that experience for the HDB 630 I'm not worried about it when I upgrade.

yep 60 hours battery life

The smaller-than-Momentum 4 ear cup size is a deal breaker for me. I had to send the M4s back due to discomfort after less than an hour of listening. I wish Senn made larger cups for big headed folks!

Thats honestly weird. Apple apm, sony whxm, bose qc, sennheiser momnetum/hdb, etc. can all do it. Very common feature for modern headphones in this space :)

This was my first pair of headphones. Previously, I was using samsung galaxy buds 2 pro and over time, my ears started hurting a lot (which is something you should know because I have never used a high end headphone). After watching 100s of youtube videos and comparing brands like sony, bose, jbl, bowers & wilkins, apple, other... I decided to buy Momentum 4 ($211). XM6 was not available in my region at the time and it was also out of budget. Here is my review after 4 months of usage: * easily the best headphones I can ever ask for, in every single way. * battery life is super long. I can use it for several days, just put it on charge for 100 minutes and done. fast charging is also solid. * didn't expect the case to be that good. the overall look and branding are nice and I like the color. I'm usually at home so I don't use the case much. * I was confused about the color variant but went with white. it looks really clean and the branding isn't overdone which gives it a nice touch. * 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. * it supports aptX Adaptive and my phone uses that codec * call quality is super good so I also use it for all of my meetings and interviews. * cushions are smooth, took me some time to adjust to touch controls but I have finally built the mental memory. * after wearing, I don't feel any pressure on my head at all. * some people said the ANC isn't on par with other headphones but I don't think so. it blocks all the noise properly (ac, fan, someone talking) * I don't use EQ that much but I would love to try community ones (something they could add to the app). * sound quality is 10/10. whenever I'm listening to music, it's like I have been transported into that world. for this alone, I would choose it over any other headphone out there. I'm going to use Momentum 4 for at least 6 years!

it blocks all the noise whenever I'm listening to music. I really want to try xm6 ANC once (heard a lot about it)

Hi all, I posted a month or so ago, asking about the momentum 4's as I was debating whether to make the purchase. I have since made the purchase and would like to offer my feedback and experience with them after owning them for 3-4 weeks. **A brief background** - I religiously used Sennheiser HD25's for the past 12-13 years for a range of uses, DJ'ing, travelling, relaxing and all-round listening. I also own a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770's for studio use. I'm a big time album listener and I used to produce music and I still DJ from time to time so I feel like I kind of know what sounds good in comparison. I mainly listen to a mixture of music, but the go to genres for me would be Funk, Neo-soul, RnB, Soul, Hip Hop and little bit of everything else. The momentum 4's are incredible. The soundstage, isolation and overall feel + warmth to the sound is phenomenal. They can at times feel very immersive, which is perfect. ***What do I like about them?*** * The overall sound + tone they provide - it's a warm, relaxing, immersive sound. * Touch controls on each headphone - allows you to pause, turn up or down the volume without getting your phone out. Great for planes. * Padding and headband is comfortable and great quality overall. * Battery life is reasonable and lasts quite a while, especially whilst using the noise cancelling feature. * Noise cancelling feature is superb - I cannot believe the difference when I switch it to transparent, especially whilst on a plane or travelling. ***What are sound of the things I noticed straight away?*** * The sound initially is far too bottom heavy - you will need to dial it back in the app. The low-end is definitely a bit too much, I found by reducing it by -1 or -3dB it really helped to balance out the overall sound for me. * The app isn't great - I found the app overall was good, but it can be buggy at times and sometimes hard to navigate or save settings. Overall, I have been surprised how well these headphones sound and perform overall. They're way different to my HD25's, but in a good way. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a solid pair of headphones for travelling or day-to-day listening.

Momentum 4 are great, but like you say they are your first real pair so it's hard for you to do any comparisons. Sound is defo not good 10/10, but it's good for a pair of closed back ANCs.

Hard to go wrong with Sony XM5 or Sennheiser Momentum 4. Both sound great and super comfy. Kinda depends if you want noise canceling or just pure sound though.

If you're set on wireless I'd take a look at the Sennheiser Momentum 4 and the Audeze Maxwell. The Maxwell does not have ANC but it does have an exceptional battery life, excellent sound quality, and is one of the only wireless headphones competitive with wired headphones in the same price bracket. The Momentum 4 has ANC and a good battery life. It is Bluetooth only compared to the Maxwell's 2.4Ghz dongle so you'll be looking at a bit of latency and reduced quality but you should be used to that coming from a JBL. You can get an aptX low latency adapter like the BTD 600 to solve the latency issue, or you can plug the headphones in via USB when at your PC for uncompressed audio. Then use them wirelessly when you're on the go.

So, there is a lot to unpack here. 1. AirPods Pro are actually great sounding earbuds, so you're starting from a good place. 2. You're right to move away from the APMs and XM4/5, although you may enjoy the Apple sound. Bang for the buck, it's good about tech, though, not sound. 3. You can do a LOT with just wired headphones, if you're OK with that. Not all of them need amps. A great example is the Grado sr325x: great sound, easy to drive. There are plenty of others in the wired world worth considering. If you prefer bass, for example, the Meze 99 Classic or 99 Noir would be good. For something more neutral, the HifiMan Ananda. All of these work great with just a $9 Apple dongle. And even if you DO need an amp, something like an iFi Go Link Max would fulfill any needs you have with modern headphones, so a Sennheiser 6xx + one of those would get you where you want. 4. If you're dead set on wireless, check out the Sennheiser Momentum 4, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra (which often sells for under $400), and the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2 or S2e. (The S3 comes in at over $400.) All of these have decidedly different sound, and it will depend on what you like. Given your experience with the AirPods, the Sennheiser is probably your best bet. 5. Finally, for $350, you can find an incredible IEM, which might get you exactly where you want: the best sound for the money. But "best" is very relative here, since physics starts to play into the overall picture. Best of luck!

Save yourself the trouble & just buy a pair of Momentum 4's. Game changers. Best sound imo with amazing anc
