When the Sennheiser Momentum 4 was revealed, one of the talking points among the review community was the design which is a vast departure from the Momentum 3.<\/p>\n
The large ear cups appear plain flat, providing a large surface area for the numerous gesture controls, though they are missed opportunities to make it look more unique. I believe this is a deliberate decision to make the Momentum 4 nondescript and in line with the other wireless headphones models. Nevertheless, the fabric headband with a stick-on logo makes it a little more recognisable for the sharp eye.<\/p>\n

The Momentum 4 operates by touch gestures on the right ear cup, just like the Sony and the Bose. A new gesture first to be introduced on these headphones is pinch-and-zoom, which adjusts the ANC-to-Transparency level.
\nIt means that as you reduce the ANC, you are increasing Transparency. The on-head detection, when enabled, will auto-pause the playback, auto-mute during the call, activate power saving mode to power down automatically after a preset time, and power up when you wear the headphones.<\/p>\n
The advertised battery life of 60 hours was not put to the test, but throughout the 1-week review period, there was no need to charge the headphones at all and it remains at 60% after about 10 hours of use. Multipoint is supported on the headphones, which allows connecting 2 devices concurrently.<\/p>\n

The ANC quality on the Momentum 4 is by far the best from Sennheiser, though, the upper frequency is not suppressed as well as the Sony WH-1000XM5 nor the Bose HP700. The Transparency level is also adequately natural but not open enough to match the sound when not wearing the headphones. It\u2019s just a tad softer than with the headphones removed. What\u2019s good is that the ambient noises do not sound processed.<\/p>\n
I recall enjoying the predecessor Momentum 3, but only because the tuning favour the sparkles and the booms \u2013 a popular V-shaped EQ. With Momentum 4, the tuning is less extreme. The upper midrange delivers a bit more meat while retaining the signature treble clarity. The bass is also sounding slightly less intense but still retains prominence, with a little more substance at the upper bass. The instrument separation is distinct and sound staging is wide and close, allowing details to be easily heard despite a stronger vocal presence. The midrange is clear and not too bloated. The Momentum 4 retains the Sennheiser quality of prominently sizzling treble without being too overbearing.<\/p>\n

One of the benefits of using the Momentum 4 is the Sidetone where I can hear the ambient sounds while on a call. This makes me aware of the surroundings and also prevents me from speaking too loud. Turning up 100% o\u000fers the most naturally open sound without excessive amplification.<\/p>\n
Rating 4.0<\/p>\n
We say:
\nThe Momentum 4 may not look distinct, but the ANC and Transparency Modes perform sufficiently to match the competition. And the audio quality is what Momentum delivers.<\/p>\n
