(NEW) Sennheiser Momentum 4 Adaptive Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones

I had the most annoying week+ of trying to make this BEAUTIFUL headset work. I really wanted these to work. But you can only try soo many Reddit fixes before you're beyond pissed off and completely over it. First: I couldn't hear the trial music they play on the app when you first set up your sound profile. It was silent. Removing and re-downloading the app didn't help. I disconnected the headset from everything, reset my phone, and tried 4-5 more times before I got anything to play. When it played, it was too quiet to change anything meaningfully. Second: This headset gives you 6 options in your sound section to choose from, which is annoying. Some are named the exact same and do absolutely nothing when chosen. The most annoying part was the only option that provides side tone will give you the worst quality sound you've heard since your 90s Walkman- - paired with that tiny round headset you found at goodwill or in your garage. To use this headset with side tone and have decent sound, you have to disconnect the mic in your computer settings all together and use another mic that will provide you side tone Now you need more gear or a mixer to connect your headset to your mic. The whole ass point of this headset was to game with friends, or be able to answer phone calls while being productive around the house. It's hard for me to function socially when I don't have side tone. That's on me but...come on. This was an expensive purchase. It should be able to do both... like my $80 Corsairs do easily. Forget hearing footsteps. If you're on discord using the headset's mic, your sound quality doesn't allow for differentiation between spells in an ARPG.. or footsteps in a pvp game. You cannot use the headset for talking and receive quality sound. I wouldn't even say quality. They are simply unusable. Thirdly: Speaking of my Corsairs, they were LOUD at volume 30. I've probably never gone over 50 on those. With this set, I had to be on 95-100 to get where my previous headset would've sat at 20. What. I could NOT get any volume out of these and I tried enough things to make you hush. - -you, who is saying I did something wrong or skipped a step. No. Nope. I did it all and it was over a week of futzing, alll the trial and error before I finally sent them back. Which was sad because I've lusted after Sennheiser for ages. Even when I was finally able to adjust my sound profile in the app, I couldn't get them to be loud enough with clear sound to function. I opted for my air pods over these and if you've ever done that on your gaming computer, air pods sound like you're inside a dumpster 40 ft away. I preferred this to the Sennheisers. Sad. Reason four: They dropped all Bluetooth connections 10+ times a day. My house is 745sq ft so even if I was walking around my house and not sitting at the desk with my phone/computer next to me, they should have worked for most of the home. At the very least, I should have been able to go 10ft away from devices. Nope. They didn't stay connected even directly next to devices-- for reasons I couldn't figure out. So forget about any movement. No trip to the fridge 8 feet away between matches. I was stupidly willing to look past this part because, like I mentioned above, I was lusting after these for a while before finally shelling out the dough. If I could just tap the Bluetooth button to quickly reconnect devices, I would have suffered with my snazzy Sennheisers. But when this happened, I'd have to restart my phone, restart/reconnect the headset, and reconnect phone Bluetooth. I even had to redownload the app to be able to connect two separate times. For the computer, I'd have to go through the process of finding/connecting the device after resetting, and then selecting the proper option in the drop-down sound options on my computer which changed places and was super annoying. This took way too long, especially if I was on a call or in game. Having to tab out of a game to go through that.. sometimes every hour... was maddening and I def lost a lot of matches and did a few desk-slams. Eff that. Five: In addition to costing a lot of money and being absolutely useless for my purposes (or any purpose), this headset also had unreliable manual touch options on the side. They only functioned half the time. Joy. Six: I reached out to Sennheiser for assistance and advice on day one. It was possible I simply needed a replacement after scouring their FAQ on the website. They returned my enquiry 28 days after I sent them a request. This was almost 3 weeks AFTER I had returned them. And this wasn't during the holidays. 28 days later and with a bunch of garbage. An unhelpful reply that had nothing to do with the issue I had selected in their drop down options. Like. Not even remotely helpful. Did they read the ticket? There's no way. Maybe I had a faulty pair? Who knows but I think probably not because I found a shocking amount of people that had the exact same issues. These should have been recalled but enough people will stubbornly make them work and the company still makes money off those who don't return them in the end, either from laziness or denial or an abundance of money so they don't need to make the effort :P 1 star for aesthetics/battery life. I did not have to charge them once- out of the box- and I did a lot of troubleshooting in that time. They are comfy, yes, but I now have a cheaper pair of Logitecs that are comfier with an equivalent battery life. I gave up on the multi-device idea and went with the Logitec Pro x 2 with LIGHTSPEED These were plug and play. No BS. Comfy, sharp looking, work AMAZING with discord and whatever else I've connected them to. I'll stick with swapping out my headset for my airpods for phonecalls for now because we just aren't reliably there yet, it seems.
