MOMENTUM 4 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones - Bluetooth Headset for Crystal-Clear Calls, Adaptive Noise Cancellation, Over Ear Headphones Wireless, Up To 60HR Playtime, Folding, Black

After many years and many attempts with finding (my) perfect headphones I am finally satisfied. I purchased a pair of expensive but very nice Sennheiser HD660S2 open back headphones. Music played through them sounds great...but I am sadly a person who wonders could things be better? I fell into the trap of buying different DAC gizmos and cables which if I am being honest did nothing to improve the sound. And believe me, I have bought many other headphones, currently owning B&W, Grado, FiiO and Beyerdynamic models all in the search for sonic Nirvana. I was sick to the back teeth of fiddling about and listening to equipment performance instead of enjoying music. So I thought I'd give a decent pair of wireless headphones a go thinking that it would at least take cables and DAC's out of the equation. After seeing the Momentum 4's on sale for £199 and reading positive reviews about them I decided to give them a go with a view to returning them if they weren't up to scratch. I'm glad to say they exceeded my expectations. They are so good that I am amazed really. They excell with all genres, just lovely. Crisp highs and lows as low as to be subterranean when called upon. As good or better than all my other headphones irregardless of price. Plus all the convenience of wireless connectivity. With all the questions (for me) of 'what if I do this' removed I feel I can get on with spending on new music rather than equipment. As for build quality and comfort I can't fault them, they come with a nice sturdy case as well. Oh and battery life is outstanding. I don't wear headphones outdoors so I don't use any of the features built into the right ear cup via touch, preferring to keep them switched off by utilising the Sennheiser app. Once I had used the EQ part of the app to find my preferred profile I have felt no need to look at it again. If these headphones continue to work for many years I know I'll not be buying any new models again.

These headphones sound phenomenal and are extremely comfortable and for that are a clear 5* rating. I personally would drop a star for the touch controls. The controls generally seem to work fine except for volume control, which is hit and miss. But as I only use these for music and nothing else, the sound and comfort is 5* (the other controls generally seem to work OK). ***IMPORTANT***: When I first tried the headphones I was NOT impressed. The Bass was to overpowering, and due to an only 3 band EQ could not compensate for the over pronounced Bass! I was on the verge of sending them back, when a firmware update appeared! After the 20min update.... WOW! Not only had the 3 band EQ changed to a 5 band EQ, but the Bass issue was resolved! So now the EQ remains flat and natural. For Bass lovers there is a 'Bass Boost' as well as standard presets. I previously had the Momentum 2 earbuds which was exceptional and similar sound to these Momentum 4s in sound signature. Obviously as the Momentum 4s are closed headphones they trump the Momentum 2 earbuds. Unfortunately one the earbuds stopped working and I replaced them with the Momentum 3 earbuds. Unfortunately I felt these a downgrade from the Momentum 2 earbuds! Although a more snug fit, they failed on everything else! The sound wasn't a crystal, they let to much sound in spoiling my listening pleasure... and the Momentum 2s looked more pristine. I hated the fact the Momentum 3 earbuds let to much sound in! My kids are always arguing etc and my sanity required to jump from earbuds to closed headphones! I love Sennheiser, but the Momentum 3s had me wondering if I would continue with Sennheiser. I did all the usual reviews etc and the Momentum 4s seem to have the 'overall' edge, with a resounding winner for sound. As I consider myself an Audiophile and don't care about phone calls etc, I only wanted for my Flac Library. So in short: The sound is phenomenal providing you ***DOWNLOAD the Firmware***! I also am taken aback by the comfort as the ear pads are so soft! These headphones may not be for everyone due to the touch controls and possible phone and other functions etc which I am not personally interested in. If like me, you only want for music... they are 5*, and I am pleased... no, VERY PLEASED I get a break from my arguing kids! ***UPDATE*** This is an ANC update. I didn't mention this before as I hadn't used them outside and the Momentum 2 earbuds only worked slightly and the M3 earbuds let so much noise in I had given up! Now back to these Momentum 4s.... I am BLOWN AWAY with the ANC! for the first time I feel like I can post a positive review on ANC. I suspect a lot of the positives are due to the headphone being 'closed', but I still think I need to give credit to how they function. So inside, the music is full whilst allowing enough sound in to acknowledge a doorbell etc... just. But I think the quieter the music, the more outside noise you would here. NOW THEN.... This is where I am truly impressed! I use the Momentum 4s to walk my dog on my mobility scooter. It is absolutely surreal how the ANC works. Despite the music being full (and I don't mean volume) and in your head... I can still hear passing traffic whilst the music still feels complete and uninterrupted! Also a brush of wind and the ANC automatically adjusts to compensate and cut wind sound down instantly by around 90% to unnoticeable! Sorry I can't compare to other brands, but as an Audiophile I am beyond pleased and so glad I jumped to closed headphones. (I just preferred the discreteness of earbuds)

This is my first pair of proper over ear headphones and I am really impressed with everything so far. The sound quality is superb, especially with the bass boost on. It really feels like you are cocooned in a world of music! The sound stage is neutral but can be altered to suit in the app or equaliser in your music streaming app. The build quality is excellent and very premium though time will only tell with regard to longevity. Noise cancelling works well, though I can't compare it with any others as this is my first pair with this feature. Connectivity is also great and my Bluetooth connection remained stable from any room in my house regardless of the location of my phone - most earphones I have had cannot do this beyond a few meters. Overall I cannot recommend these beauties enough for the price. Admittedly I can't compare to other sets as this is my first one.

Great headphones with spectacular and customisable sound. Battery lasts a long while and the comfort of the pads, over long periods, is good. ANC is customisable and works well as does transparency mode. Best price out of the big hitters and well worth it

I love it. Incredible sound and solid build quality. Battery life is outstanding. The only the issue I am facing is little bit stuttering noise due to unstable connections when connected to my laptop. With my iphone, I don’t face this issue. Overall a very satisfied with my purchase. You might feel little bit heat buildup around you ear since the surface contact of the headphone pads to the ears is little bit wide but very comfortable to wear it as the padding is excellent. So for indoor usage its fine; wouldn’t recommend for workouts.

A bateria dura no mínimo umas 48 horas mesmo depois de diversos meses de uso, o cancelamento de ruído é ótimo para dormir em avião, ônibus e carro (tenho muito problema com isso e esse fone já me salvou em situações de desespero), a qualidade do som impressiona todo o dia, adoro o fato que ele tem a opção de usar cabo (tenho um piano eletrônico que uso com ele)... a única reclamação que eu tenho é que às vezes o fone não reconhece que eu coloquei ele aí o cancelamento de ruído não funciona, às vezes tem que desligar e ligar para voltar a funcionar, mas isso é bem pequeno em comparação ao quão bom o fone é. Se você tem o dinheiro compre!

Received this genuine item, pretty pleased! Ordered at a good discount. Sound quality is really good especially if you like bassy tracks. Looks really nice on the head too

Dopo averle provate per un bel po', posso dire che queste Sennheiser Momentum 4 sono probabilmente le migliori cuffie che io abbia mai avuto. La prima cosa che ti colpisce è senza dubbio il suono: è incredibile come riescano a rendere ogni dettaglio della musica, dai bassi profondi che non sovrastano mai tutto il resto, fino alle voci che sembrano limpidissime. Rispetto a molte altre cuffie "commerciali" che puntano tutto solo sui bassi, qui senti proprio la qualità Sennheiser che fa la differenza. ​Ma il vero shock è la batteria. Dichiarano 60 ore e vi assicuro che sono reali: ti dimentichi letteralmente di caricarle. Le uso tutti i giorni per ore e passano settimane prima che debba riattaccarle al cavo, una comodità assurda. Anche la cancellazione del rumore è ottima; una volta indossate, il mondo fuori sparisce e rimani solo tu e la tua musica, senza però sentire quel fastidioso senso di pressione alle orecchie che danno altri modelli. ​Sono anche comodissime da tenere in testa, i padiglioni sono morbidi e non scaldano troppo, il che è fondamentale per le sessioni lunghe. I controlli touch sono precisi e il passaggio tra il telefono e il computer (il multipoint) è istantaneo. Unico neo lo standard Bluetooth, problema che con me non si pone, dato che le utilizzo quasi esclusivamente cablate.
