Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless Headphones - Bluetooth Headset for Crystal-Clear Calls with Adaptive Noise Cancellation, 60h Battery Life, Lightweight Folding Design, Black

I wanted a pretty nice set of bluetooth over the ear noise canceling headphones. I specifically waited for Black Friday so I could get a nice discount. I bought four different sets of headphones that were in my budget to try them all. I kept these sennheiser momentum 4 over the other ones. I returned the other three which were the Sony 1000 XM5, the Bose QuietComfort ultra and the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e. All of these had a similar price when not on sale. I was quite surprised that I kept the Sennheiser. I really thought I'd be keeping the Bowers and Wilkins based on some of the reviews I've watched. For the type of music I listen to and the ways I will be using these headphones these were just the best. The app is solid and has lots of nice options and allows for the kind of customization I was looking for. The fit is perfect for me. Although so were the Bowers & Wilkins. But the sennheiser's battery life and sound profile along with the nice noise canceling, not the best noise canceling but really good, are what won it over for me. A real 60 hours of battery life is just incredible. That means the average person probably wouldn't have to charge these but once a month! They also came with a really nice case that's slim and easy to throw in a backpack or bag. I'm not sure why other people have issues with the touch controls, they work perfect for me. And the sound quality for the type of music I listen to which is mostly 80s and '90s metal is phenomenal for Bluetooth headphones. I have a few sets of really nice wired headphones and IEM's and these are quite surprising how good they are. A friend of mine has the bose and I've let him try these. He understands why I pick these over the bose now that he's heard them. The cherry on top for these headphones though is that they are phenomenal when you're making phone calls. It doesn't matter how loud or windy the environment is that you're making your call in, the person on the other end has no idea as it's as clear as it ever could be when using Bluetooth. I am really amazed how well they work in this regard. Bluetooth headphones are very subjective when trying to tell someone what is recommended. And if I wouldn't have tried these four I would not have believed how much of a difference there is in the sound profile, comfort, apps, and noise canceling. If you're going to spend some decent money on a set of headphones I really recommend buying a few sets or at least going to a store where you can try them first. I know that's hard to do as most places don't let you try before you buy, so that's why I bought all four and returned the three I did not choose. I've used them with my Hiby DAP, my pixel smartphone and my Lenovo tablet as well as my Sony TV. All of them work fantastic and the connection was quick and easy. I like the fact that I can set up different sound profiles in the app based on what I'm using the headphones for. I have one for podcasts which makes voices sound clear and precise. I have another for movies with the extra bass turned on for the impact of movie soundtrackcs and the punch for explosions and such. I also have another for my favorite kind of music and I have one for watching YouTube videos. I'm not trying to convince anyone to buy these, I'm just telling you my experience with the forehead phones I purchased and why I chose these. Everyone is different, so what's best for me is not necessarily what's best for you.

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.

These things sound amazing and are very easy to use and connect. Noise cancellation blocks out most background noises like fans very effective. I use this while talking on the phone quite a bit and no one has complained about the mic. They’re comfortable to use and I often wear them for hours. Sound quality is very good. It’s never completely neutral though even with the eq set to neutral so if you’re trying to use them to mix music, it won’t work well. Only thing I don’t like are the touch controls. They work as advertised but things like headrests, charger cords, gently brushing against something will also activate the controls. Fortunately you really don’t need the controls for much and I often have the touch controls turned off. Price seems appropriate for what you get.
