Verdict

The Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless is a premium over-ear headphone featuring an audiophile-inspired 42mm transducer system that delivers a high-fidelity frequency response of 6 Hz to 22 kHz. Key characteristics include Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity with support for high-quality aptX Adaptive, AAC, and SBC codecs, as well as versatile wired options via 3.5mm and USB-C audio. Its primary pros are a class-leading 60-hour battery life with ANC enabled, effective hybrid adaptive noise cancellation, and a lightweight 293g design optimized for all-day comfort with deep cushioned earpads. Notable cons include a more generic, uniform design compared to the distinctive retro styling of its predecessors, a fold-flat rather than fully collapsible build that limits portability, and occasional connectivity bugs with the Smart Control app.
