Reviewers praise
  • Sound quality is consistently praised as among the best in the category, with accurate timbre, improved treble response, and high objective scores for tonal balance and immersiveness.
  • ANC is effective at suppressing traffic, train, and low-frequency ambient noise, with adaptive behaviour and a dedicated anti-wind mode.
  • Battery endurance is strong across real-world use, with a battery protection mode in the app that helps preserve long-term cell health.
Reviewers push back
  • Fit is inconsistent — the thin silicone ear tips fold easily and break the seal, and the ear wings are too small to help some users; foam tip options are absent.
  • The earbuds and case are physically bulky, making side-sleeping uncomfortable and the case larger than most competitors.
  • Microphone quality degrades noticeably in wind — the noise suppression algorithm attenuates ambient noise but also strips out the speaker's voice.
A well-built, great-sounding pair of earbuds with strong ANC and forward-looking connectivity, held back by fit inconsistency, a bulky form factor, and microphone performance that stumbles in wind.
— best for: Commuters, frequent flyers, and audio-conscious listeners who want rich sound, reliable ANC, and durable build quality, and who are willing to spend time dialling in fit and EQ.

On Momentum True Wireless 4: Fit and comfort divide reviewers: one found the ear wings too small and the seal unreliable across multiple fit tests, while another wore them through a six-hour overnight flight without issue.

Ive used these things nearly every day sense I've got them. Not only is the audio quality astonishing but they are also surprisingly durable I'll give you a few examples from 3 different lines of work Treework- I use them as hearing protection both in the lift and running the wood chipper, I've had them fall from my head at 60 feet in the air, dusted them off and kept going!

If sound quality, connectivity and extremely effective active noise cancelling is important to you, these earbuds are really incredibly good. There has been some seriously extreme R&D in the Sennheiser labs and this extends through to the app, which is simply flawless, super smooth with zero lag. The app allows you to customise the sound to exactly the way you like to hear your music. The detail i Stanison · jbhifi.com.au
