Music to my ears!
By DDAY on Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2024
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.

bluetooth stopped working after 9 months

I bought these headphones for daily use back in July of 24, and I really like them overall in the 6+ months I’ve used them :) The noise cancelling is great, sound quality is nice, the headphones hold about three to four days of near constant use which is stellar. The headphones hold a connection with my devices from across the house without disconnect which is really cool. They are comfortable and easy to put on and take off, and are fairly sturdy and can take a beating. Being someone with auditory sensory issues that makes loud noises unbearable for me, these have become an essential accessibility tool for my everyday life. Pretty much almost all day, almost all the time. I think these are quality headphones that hold up to the standard I expect from Sennheiser. I am a near-lifelong Sennheiser customer however (I used my old HD690’s for YEARS) so I will admit my biases. HOWEVER! It is not without issues. 1) Multi-device connection can be a bit problematic at times. Sometimes connections can drop seemingly at random. I’ve noticed this issue is particularly bad when you have two of these headphones connected to the same device (my roommate also has one). If you’re the only user, it’s not as big of an issue, but it’s still something to be aware of. Being a heavy user I’d say this happens about once per day. 2) Noise Cancelling can sometimes drop into full transparency at random. I don’t know why this does this. I have adaptive ANC and wind noise reduction turned off so it should not be changing at all unless I change it in the settings. Again, having auditory sensory issues, sudden loud noises can put me in a panic so this is a recipe for disaster for me. For everyone else, it’s an annoyance at best. Either way, if I set a setting, it should never change unless I change it. Speaking of… 3) ANC settings, sound control and connection management can only be done through the Smart Control phone app. There is no PC equivalent. I think this is extremely problematic for the longevity of these headphones. Although it’s something I accept because I have my phone on me a lot, I really hate that it has to be tied to an app, let alone a closed-source one that requires registration. I shouldn’t have to be forced to give my data for the sake of using my headphones to their fullest. It’s important to mention that this issue is not one of Sennheiser’s alone - pretty much all audio devices, especially wireless ones, will have some kind of app involved - but it’s still a pretty big issue nonetheless. Even with these issues, I still recommend these headphones, especially if you can get them on sale. These are really, really good. EDIT 4/7/2025 - These headphones bricked out of the blue this morning. Cannot connect via Bluetooth at all. Device immediately unpairs after pairing. Obviously outside of Amazon’s refund window so this is in Sennheiser’s court now. More than a little upset considering it helps me function on the day-to-day. But, supposedly issue #2 just got fixed in a recent firmware update, so there’s that. Sucks that it’s behind an app. The only reason I’d still recommend these headphones are if you use the audio cable it comes with. It works flawlessly on anything with an audio jack. But at that point, you could probably find a similar device for a quarter of the price. I’m so disappointed, but not surprised.
