Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless – Review

The Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless comes at a reduced price than its predecessor and it is less flashy and simpler. The Momentum over-ear series is quite popular and the Momentum Wireless 3 was undoubtedly one of the best ones in the series. This model seems to be less about style and more about function.

Design

The appearance of the Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless does not grab your attention. They have a plainer look and could pass off as any device from Sennheiser. If aesthetics are a priority for you, then you may not like these headphones. But, if ergonomics is more important, then this one certainly delivers. It has cushy synthetic leader ear-pads that have a supple contact area.

Therefore, you can wear these headphones comfortably for short and extended periods of time. There is a large space available for your ears because the ear-cups are oval-shaped. You can fold these headphones flat. There is an adjustable slider on the headband that you can use for adjusting the headphones on your head. There is also some degree of movement offered that you can get from the swiveling hinges.

The wider headband also helps in absorbing pressure. The underside is made of silicone, while the outside is covered with a nice fabric. The headphones weigh 293g, but they feel very light. The right ear-cup has a single button for powering on and off. There are also touch controls provided to manage calls, playback and voice assistants. You can also use it for adjusting the Transparency and noise-cancelling modes.

The right ear-cup of the Momentum 4 headphones also has an LED indicator that shows current battery life. There is also a 3.5mm jack and a USB-C charging port on the right. The carry case comes with an airplane adapter and other accessories. You can find the headphones in three color options, which are blue, black and white.

Features

The Momentum Wireless 4 were launched in 2022, so it is understood that they have moved on the back burner where noise-cancelling is concerned. However, this does not mean that the headphones do not do a decent job. They are quite strong when it comes to eliminating crowd noise and voices. In fact, they can even handle traffic on a busy day. But, some ambient noise does peek through.

The Transparency mode does offer you detailed and clear performance. The headphones are also able to handle the wind noise quite well. The battery life is about 60 hours and the Momentum 4 Wireless last a couple of weeks, depending on your usage. It takes about 2 hours to charge the headphones and you can also take advantage of fast charging. You can get four hours of playback with a charge of just five minutes.

There is support for Bluetooth 5.2 available and you will also find AAC, SBC and aptX Adaptive support. They have solid call quality and offer very good performance. You can also customize noise-cancelling with the Smart Control app.
