SennheiserConsumer Audio Momentum 4 Wireless Headphones - Bluetooth Headset for Crystal-Clear Calls with Adaptive Noise Cancellation, 60h Battery Life, Lightweight Folding Design - Black/Copper

Here's my opinion and rating after using these non stop for about a year nowAudio quality - 5/5The audio quality on these headphones are phenomenal. Straight out of the box they sounded excellent, and provide a great neutral-feeling sound signature without boosting the lows or highs too much.Comfort - 5/5The headphones fit very nicely and have rarely caused strain on my ears. The headband and foam around the ears are very soft. I have worn these for 5-6 hours at a time and have not noticed discomfortBuild - 5/5I've seen some people complaining about the build quality for the price, but I personally don't see their reasoning at all. The headset is made of lightweight plastic, but it doesn't take away from the premium feel and look. I love the fabric on top of the headband, and the version I have of these with the black-copper color scheme looks very fancy.Noise cancellation and transparency mode - 4/5The ANC is nothing notable, but it is far from bad. I have brought it on planes and had no issue with the noise levels. Transparency mode also works great.Battery life and charging - 5/5The battery life on this is insane. I can go about 2 weeks with constant use before I need to charge. They advertise something like 60 hours of battery life, and even while using ANC the headset delivers.Connectivity - 4.5/5The reason I rated this a 4 is because I have had some issues with my headset connecting to my devices. Every so often my headset audio will cut out every couple of minutes for about a second. It's not a big issue, as it eventually remedies itself or I can just power my headset on and off to stop it, but it was worth noting. Other than that, connection is pretty smooth. I do like how my headset switches automatically between my phone and computer to whatever device is playing audio at the time.Extra features - 5/5The app feels well-integrated with the headset, and it provides many options to customize your listening experience. I changed the touch control inputs on the side of the headset to feel more intuitive, as well as turning off some features I personally found annoying like the on-ear detection. The EQ also allows me to create my own sound signatures, and as a result I usually have the lows boosted.Other notable things -I haven't had many issues with the touch controls, and although I probably would prefer buttons, this works just fine.The headset does have quite a large footprint when packing, so I wouldn't recommend them for travel unless you have space.Putting it around my neck feels a bit awkward compared to previous headsets I've owned, but maybe thats just me.These work great for gaming, low latencyI'm just a regular user, not an audiophile. I mainly use these for listening to music and gamingOverall review - 5/5 (If you have the money for it)You'll have to sell your left kidney for these, but it's worth it for people who use headphones every day, all the time. There isn't a part of this headset that is not good, and it excels at being a comfortable pair of premium headphones.

Bought these along with the Sony XM5 to compare to my existing Bose 700.Comfort:The Bose 700 I don't find very comfortable, namely the headband, being rather thin, it puts pressure on the top of my head after a couple hours. The Sony had this problem initially, but then I started loosening the headband as much as possible, and being a very light pair, I stopped having that particular issue. All in all I found the Sony much more comfortable than the 700. I could see some folks saying it's more comfortable than the Momentum 4s. However I disagree about that. For me the Momentum 4 are the most comfortable. It has very soft ear pads, much like the Sony. Granted the M4s are heavier, but the weight is distributed very well across the headband, better than the Sony's imo. All in all, it's a close call and the Sony's are really well done comfort wise. Super light and super cushy pads. Could see a reasonable person going in either direction for the win here.Sound quality:I think the XM5 are pretty close to the Bose 700 and could see folks going either way depending on your signature preferences. Personally think I like the Sony a bit better, just more lively than the more neutral Bose. Both are in the same league though. The M4s are way better sound quality wise plain and simple. They're not in the same league. Heck, they're not even playing in the same sport. Find myself listening to music way more often during the day simply because I enjoy it that much more. This is the reason I'm ultimately sticking with the M4s. And it's not a hard decision.Noise cancelation:Sony XM5 are simply the best. If you're buying headphones to block out the sound of your partner playing annoying tiktok vids, this is the one to get. M4s have pretty good noise canceling too, but the Sony's are way better here imo. Bose sits between the XM5 and the M4s, maybe just a little better than the M4sMic sound quality:I'm work remotely with multiple meetings throughout the day so I've done extensive testing on all three models. In a nutshell if you don't have any special requirements, all of them do a great job. In quiet conditions I prefer the the M4 a little better than the others, my voice just has more body to it, but again, it's plenty clear using any of these models. In noisy conditions, the Sony XM5 are way better than the rest in isolating your voice and minimizing background noise. Simply incredible! The 700 and M4 handled the background noise a bit differently. My voice is clearer on the M4s in noisy conditions whereas the Bose cancel out more background noise at the cost of sacrificing clarity. When there's lots of noise, the Bose can reduce your voice to the point where it's super difficult to hear what you're saying. The M4s will allow more background noise through, but my voice remains super clear and louder than other sounds coming through.One feature I really like about the M4s, the one and only button they have (making it super easy to find) becomes a mute button during calls, zoom or google meetings. Really enjoy that feature as I could walk around the house and unmute myself if I need to talk. A voice tells you if it's muted or unmuted so you know where you're at. No more flushing the toilet while running out of the room hoping no-one on the meeting heard it.The background noise canceling of the XM5 during calls was so good, it made me really want to keep them. But ultimately good music sound quality is something I'd enjoy more often since I'm not often taking meetings in super noisy conditions. Also the M4s have the mute button I could use if I do find myself in that situation.Summery:If you want incredible noise cancelation while listening to music, taking calls or meetings, the Sony XM5 are the one to get. They are head and shoulders above the competition in this respect. If you wanna be wowed by how amazing your music sounds, renewing your love for music you didn't even know you had, the M4s are for you. These are the main areas where there is substantial difference. Sony and Seinheiser truly impressed me in their respective areas of expertise. Aside from those standout areas, these are all great headsets. Even the Bose 700 is a really solid headset. Unfortunately it wasn't able to differentiate itself when compared to these two titans of industry. Noise canceling is great, just can't touch the Sony's. Sound quality also great, just can't touch the M4s. Arguable the Bose are the slickest looking headset of the bunch though.

These things sound amazing and are very easy to use and connect. Noise cancellation blocks out most background noises like fans very effective. I use this while talking on the phone quite a bit and no one has complained about the mic. They’re comfortable to use and I often wear them for hours. Sound quality is very good. It’s never completely neutral though even with the eq set to neutral so if you’re trying to use them to mix music, it won’t work well. Only thing I don’t like are the touch controls. They work as advertised but things like headrests, charger cords, gently brushing against something will also activate the controls. Fortunately you really don’t need the controls for much and I often have the touch controls turned off. Price seems appropriate for what you get.
