AI summary of 5 reviews · as of May 2026
Reviewers agree the Momentum 4 Wireless delivers excellent sound quality and extraordinary battery life, though its noise cancellation trails class leaders and the design carries some functional quirks.
Where reviewers disagree: One reviewer finds the pronounced midrange sits nicely and adds maturity, while another notes it can cause struggles with heavily compressed wall-of-sound recordings; Reviewers split on whether the bass has enough impact—some praise its clean fidelity over slam, others note it lacks the physical punch of competitors despite measuring elevated
What they praise
- Sound quality measures well out of the box with balanced tuning, strong mids, clean bass extension, and typical Sennheiser tonality that sounds mature and exciting without heavy EQ tweaking
- Battery life exceeds 55 hours with ANC enabled, outlasting nearly all competitors and eliminating charging anxiety on long trips
- Multiple connection options including wired listening over USB-C and standard headphone jack preserve functionality across different devices
- Comfortable fit with well-cushioned earpads and headband allows extended wearing sessions without fatigue or pressure points
- Includes a proper hard-shell zippered case that protects without excessive bulk
What they knock
- Noise cancellation performance was dated at launch, reducing outside noise around 76 percent compared to 88 percent on stronger competitors, allowing more ambient sound through
- Touch controls sometimes fail to respond on startup until toggled off and on again in the app
- Headband padding design cannot be removed or replaced if it becomes uncomfortable during very long listening sessions
- App experience frustrates with excessive menus and pop-ups before first use, making initial setup tedious

“Sound is great, although I'm not an audiophile, so take it with a grain of salt. The battery is fine; I can't compare it to other headphones, other than the Momentum 2s, but it goes a long way subjectively. The build quality falls far behind the Momentum 2s I owned previously; everything is plastic, the textile wrapped around the headband came loose after a couple of months and is gradually deteri”
