MOMENTUM True Wireless 4 Black Copper

So, I came from Sony xm4s which fried (loved those buds) I was stricken with whether to upgrade to the Sony xm5 or switch off. Found this in comparison videos and glad I did. These are better than xm4s. If you were comparing both I know it's a hard comparison. The battery is great, noise canceling is better than the Sony 4. With music playing you can't really hear the world (even walking next to heavy traffic. I took a call next to a busy road and the caller told me it almost sounded like I was in a quiet room assuming I was still at work though I was next to the road which is interesting. I could hear her perfectly fine too. I haven't played with their equalizer it's stock right now. I was a bit conflicted by sound quality initially. It sounded good but I felt something was slightly missing. I changed the standard on my phone to the hi res aptx. I have a Samsung s22 ultra (upgrading to s24 ultra soon) and the quality improved despite hearing Samsung shouldn't support that. Unless it's better but not true res or there was a supporting update idk. But it sounds just about flawless. Idk what the Sony xm5 sounds like but I know the controversy surrounding it. All in all I'm very happy. Also, I haven't noticed any hissing sound I've heard past reviewers mention though I heard an update addressed it. I'm very very happy.... last thing only negative. Sometimes they do wear on my ears. My ears do get tired (sometimes) a bit bulky but they fit very good. I don't have small ears, if you do Goodluck. ***Update- about 2 years later. So these bad boys fried roughly 2 years in started crackling and audio went out. They were used daily and very heavily for many hours. What I can say is I've dropped them several time on concrete etc. They been out with me in the conditions. I live in Vegas. I believe what fried them eventually was heat and possibly sweat getting inside. They fried one at a time right then days later the left. Luckily It was prime day and I got my new ones the next day after the left went out a wopping 150 dollars cheaper for 200. I usually always upgrade when I need to so this is rare for me to pick up the same pair that fried on me. However my experience with them was phenomenal. Nothing lacking. Case always sturdy reliable just darken with age and wear but still looks good despite it being a fabric feel. Sound quality great throughout the 2 years. It literally felt like im putting my old pair back in with the new ones. So.. why I didnt upgrade to another brand? Couldn't find any worthy to fit my preferences, and I do very heavy research. The sennheiser buds stayed strong till the end. Again I believe the elements eventually caught up to it. Fit and sound is always subjective but these were always great for me. Hope to make these last and upgrade beyond this pair. Side note im splurging on over ear headphones for my at home podcast/ music from beyerdynamics. I aaaalmost picked up the HD 660s2 from sennheiser which im still drawn to but wanted the more premium headset build. These earbuds are my go to daily. Went from copper to black as shown in pictures.

These are like a lot of Sennheiser's other products. It has that signature sound profile that I only hear with Sennheiser. As for the ANC, it's all right; it does very well in a room with many distractions. I'll give an example. I have a fan in my room with ANC on I will not hear that thing at all. Which is very good, but when I'm riding in a car I can hear the radio and people talking, which isn't a big deal it does reduce quite a bit of noise, but nothing that completely ruins my listening experience. Another issue I have with is a product and the reason I can't give it 5 stars is, at times I have issues getting them to connect with my Mac laptop. The good is that once I get them connected, I have no issues, but sometimes I have to turn Bluetooth off, and put them back in the case, and take them out to try again. From a $300 dollar product, I would expect no connective issues so there is that. - ( works very well with phones have had no issues). The next thing is the case I love the thing it feels premium. The magnet is strong so unless your case, God forbid, drops on the ground, you have less of a chance of losing your earbuds. The last thing I want to mention is the app. It is a very well-designed app that offers a ton of customization for your earbuds. from sound quality to fit test Eq auto-pause when you take them out of your ears, a locator for the earbud in case you lose them, and many more. I am pleased with how Sennheiser has optimized their app for consumers, and I hope other companies will follow suit. Pros - great case - great sound quality - great app Cons - connective issues with Mac laptop - price - Only okay ANC All in all, I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to try this product, especially with Black Friday around the corner. 4.3/5 Will update this review after owning it for 3 months. So I've been using these earbuds for a little over 3 months. I officially can't recommend these products anymore. I have had a better experience with ToZo earbuds compared to these 300 E-waste earbuds. Not only does the Bluetooth disconnect randomly at times. I had many mornings of waking up to them not charged or close to 10% charge. I tried to love this product, but I can't with all of these serious problems that are hindering this product. Please, Sennheiser, do better. I think you guys have the best sound profile. I loved the PXC 550, but this is just sad.

Edit.. We are going in for a third time on these boys. Not because I want to, but because they deserve it. !Using the personalized sound profile EQ is REQUIRED to get these to perform at their full potential but once you do, they open up beautifully like a decanted wine and turn into a different set of buds entirely. So my first impressions weren't spot on with just the normal EQ. (the other review clearly didn't take the time to use this feature and neither did I at first, they sound gorgeous afterwards.) After well over 30 hours listening time with these and going back to back to back repeatedly with Bose QC ultras and Jabra 10 elites... These are relentlessly impressive. I'm going all in, 5 stars. I will find myself saying, I want to know what this song sounds like with the momentum 4s if I'm using anything else.. So even my second impressions weren't spot on. The sound is just so crisp and clean with a stark separation between vocals and each instrument with sharp notes and rumbling bass (although i still wish we had an extra click or two of bass). You can hear every little detail perfectly. The jabras give you more bass, a more full bodied intense harmonious and louder sound but its not as clean and distinct. while the jabras have the passion, the momentums have the precision. the bose are just meh by comparison in everything except ANC and honestly dont compete well with either after extensive testing. These sound clean, crisp, tight, and full. It's like the artist is playing the music next to you rather than through a speaker. You can hear delicate parts of the music Bose and Jabra can't even touch. The momentum 4s give you a very pretty, intricate sound where the jabras give you a powerful bold sound, so depending on your taste and type of music you like, jabras may be your preference. The momentum 4s kind of dominate on pure sound with the extra EQ although I stand by that the ANC is average like sony/apple etc and isn't a huge difference between it being on and off. The fit and passive noise cancelling is phenomenal so you get pretty great performance overall, just not like Bose which is like turning the world off. Maybe someday other companies will crack the code like Bose did. The software is beautifully designed with lots of customization features, a very cool personalized sound profile which drastically changes the sound potential of these buds and you need to take the time to use it! Fully changeable touch features, other audio goodies people like. they are extremely comfortable over long periods, have a nice masculine clean look, touch controls are great and responsive, they connect to 2 devices seamlessly. zero connectivity issues, solid battery life, beautiful english accent to the voice prompts. case is great and i like how its not slippery as its covered in weaved fabric. they are encroaching on perfection. They could use a little more bass and ANC needs work. They don't get quite as loud as others but I just turn them up higher? You won't be maxing them out I can't imagine. if you really appreciate music and want to feel like the music is in the room with you and hear every detail clearly, these are a winner. Easily in the fight for the top ear buds in 2024. They could be the best for you depending on your taste.

I compared three earbuds in the same bracket: - Sony LinkBuds Fit - Bose QuietComfort Ultra - Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 4 Sony LinkBuds Fit 🟊☆☆☆☆ The tap controls are highly unreliable. When tapping a bus twice (carefully, directly on the earbud), it might register zero taps, one tap, or two taps. Thus, your two taps will randomly do nothing, pause the music, or skip the track. Frustrating. I perceived no improvement on sound quality over my old $50 Anker Space A40s. Furthermore, Sony's setup app is malware: it hides among the legal agreements an "Agree" to data sharing. I don't know what Wirecutter is smoking; I liked nothing about these. Bose QuietComfort Ultra 🟊🟊🟊☆☆ I was so close to loving these. The noise cancelling is incredible. The "Immersive Mode" brings music to life in a way I hadn't experienced with earbuds. However, the deal killer was that the earbuds would disconnect from my phone every few minutes. This is apparently a common issue. Additionally, the tap controls are better than Sony's, but still bad: you're supposed to slide your finger along it to change the volume, but this often registers as a tap. All this said, you might nevertheless want to try these with your phone and cross your fingers that they can stay connected, because the noise cancelling and sound is that good. If they work for you, you've won the lottery, and you're a lucky bastard. Odds are, though, it will be glitchy and unreliable for you, too. Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 4 🟊🟊🟊🟊🟊 Great, reliable tap controls. Noise cancelling and sound is not quite as good as the Bose QuietComfort, but still sounds great. Stays connected. Doesn't force you to use a crappy app. Comfortable. Has a premium look to it. Ultimately, you want earbuds that sound good, stay connected, and aren't frustrating to use. This is it.

Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 4 IEMs feature a 7mm dynamic driver, wireless connection and noise cancellation, allowing you to switch between ANC and aware modes. The wireless design can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. Modern DACs can deliver excellent quality in a tiny package, but having the Bluetooth receiver and DAC inside each earbud means there’s less room for additional or larger drivers. And it shows—this model has the least impressive drivers of the IEMs I tested recently: just a single 7mm dynamic driver in each earbud. A single driver can be fine, if it's a planar driver. Planar drivers in my opinion are a revolution in headphones and IEMs. Unfortunately, Sennheiser MTW4 use a dynamic driver. To be honest, in my experience, really good sound in IEMs starts at $300, so I didn't have much hope for this Sennheiser model which I got for $200, but which often costs closer to $300. But my friend highly recommended them. Plus, they have powerful bass, and after buying 2 x 18" subwoofers I've temporarily become a basshead :) I'm sure this bass addiction will pass, but for now I'm enjoying lots of ultra low bass. So, the first thing I did with the Sennheiser MTW4s was to test the bass response. It's truly powerful and amplified. I checked the frequency response graphs, and at 20 Hz it's about 4 dB higher than on my favorite Fiio FH9. So for bass, these are good. The second positive thing is that these IEMs are not fatiguing. I didn't notice any peaks at any frequencies (besides the bass, obviously). Third, they fit comfortably. Unfortunately, for me, that's where the positives end. On to the negatives: The downside of non-fatiguing sound is that it feels muffled, dull, too warm, and has softened highs. Secondly, instrument separation isn't great—these can't compete with truly high-end, expensive IEMs or headphones. Third, the soundstage feels too narrow, again compared to pricier and better-performing IEMs. Fourth, the max volume is probably the lowest among all IEMs I've ever tried. And finally, while the bass is powerful, in my opinion, its quality isn’t great. It’s not very tight, and it doesn’t remain clearly separated when multiple instruments are playing. This difference became especially obvious when I compared the bass to my next contender—the Campfire Audio SuperMoon. I don't want to bring even more negatives about Sennheiser... I love this company, and they produce some of the best headphones and IEMs in the world. For example, their HD800 open headphones got the 2nd place in my selection of headphones in $2000 price range (HIFIMAN HE1000 v2 won for me and I kept them). However, I feel like Sennheiser got too comfortable with being a leader in the world of hi-fi headphones and they start losing the battle to relatively new brands, like Chinese Fiio or HIFIMAN, or some US brands, like Dan Clark. These competing manufacturers constantly increase the sound quality by using multiple drivers, or using planar drivers, or using new revolutionary technologies. Dan Clark, for example, uses exclusively magnetic planar drivers, and are renowned for delivering a sense of openness and spaciousness (in their closed headphones) typically associated with top-tier open-back models like the Sennheiser HD 800 S or advanced HIFIMAN models. This "open-like" quality stems from a combination of innovative engineering, precise tuning, and materials science that minimizes the usual sonic drawbacks of closed designs—such as boxy resonance, compressed staging, and veiled highs—while retaining isolation benefits. Sennheiser, for some reason, is not really growing or improving. For example, one of their top IEMs: IE 600 (costing $700 - $800), also uses just a single 7mm dynamic driver. I'm afraid if it continues like this, Sennheiser may go out of business if they don't start improving rapidly.

I've used a few different earbuds recently and I'll share my experiences as to why Ive landed on these specifically. Sennheiser is a great brand generally, I knew the sound quality would be good. My biggest concern was fit, and these do well in that dept too. Minor issue with the software. But minor. Most earbuds I've used, when the case opens it connects. The software is tied to the case itself. These are actually tied to the earbuds. For example, you can only update the firmware when they are removed from the case. It doesnt connect until you put them in your ear. This is great because there's no accidental connection if youre just checking that you didn't lose one or accidentally open it. Its less good if you want to connect the 2nd earbud suddenly because if they aren't inserted together, my phone sees them as 2 different Bluetooth devices, and it won't connect always unless I reset them and remove the one in use and insert both at the same time. You can switch from left to right if the battery is going with no issue. On to other brands, my ear canals are a bit small and the outside of my ear is small. I must use the smallest fit, and ive always had issues with pain wearing earbuds for an extended period of time, but I listen to music basically constantly so its an issue. For discretion, I dont use over-ear headphones. Previously, I've used Phillips neckband earbuds; those are the best imo, but not easy to sleep with if I need brown noise playing. Software is minimal, but they stay connected with no issues. Only sound quality issue is if you have left/right audio, you'll lose half of what you're listening to. I have also used Samsung's line for ear buds. I have had the galaxy buds, the buds 2 Pro, and the FE version. All of them are too big on the outside of my ear and cause discomfort when wearing them for a long time. Samsung's software is superior, Ive had no connectivity issues with it, its specifically just too big to be comfortable. The audio issue with the 2 Pro line is the EQ goes absolutely FLAT as soon as you have only 1 earbud in. EQ only works properly with both buds. I also tried Bose Quiet Comfort 2, and they were hands down the most comfortable Ive tried. The sound quality was ridiculously good, easily rivaling the Sennheiser earbuds. The software was hot garbage. Constantly disconnecting AND its a known issue as many people report Bose replacing their buds under manufacturer warranty multiple times. Also, the Bose software wants you to use their presets, so even after changing my preferences for what the buds do upon tapping/hold, it never held my custom configuration. The other huge minus is they want you to use their "aware mode" to hear ambient sound, and even if you tell it to not use it, it automatically enables it every.single.time. you put them on. I did more research on the Sennheiser before getting them because I didn't want another fiasco like the Bose earbuds and Im so pleased with this. Its a chunk of change, but I'm hoping to get many years of use out of these. I've previously had to purchase multiple sets of the Phillips because they tend to break because while they are bluetooth, theyre not 'wireless', and I think the use I'll get out of these will be the same monetary value as purchasing those every time I need a replacement.

These earbuds work well and sound good. They're comfortable to wear for hours at a time. They charge quickly and the case is small enough to keep in a pocket for convenience and charging in the field. The biggest problem I had with them before now is that even putting your hand between them and the device they're connected to could sometimes disrupt the connection severely. For example, if I have my phone in my pocket the connection is fine, but if I put my hand in my pocket with my phone it interferes badly enough that I can't understand what I'm listening to. Unfortunately, 1 year and 1 month of use and the right earbud literally fell apart. The half with the charging connections separated from the rest of the unit. I thought I would be OK with just the left unit because I don't often use both of them at the same time anyway, but a few days later the left earbud now won't stay connected to my phone. I don't know if the left earbud requires the right to be in the case and charged to work properly or not. I've used the left on its one a few times before, but never when the right was completely dead as is now the case. I got a little over a year out of a nearly $300 pair of earbuds. I got them on sale so it could be worse, but it is not the quality I expect from a premium priced product. I am now looking for a new brand to put my trust into.

BACKGROUND: I love sound. An 11.1 home theater system is my reference, and due to my love of movies, deep, rumbling bass is my preference. Music requires more precision in a subwoofer (sealed vs vented enclosure typically), but if I can only have one, my bias is towards theater use. I also prefer "bright" speakers over more neutral or warm, so Klipsch is a favorite of mine. So, the bronze on black Sennheiser Momentum 4's tugged on my heartstrings a bit. COMPARABLES: I've previously had Samsung buds (Buds Live and Buds2 Pro) due to their integration with their phones, but was looking for better sound. I've had Sennheiser wired buds before and loved them, but was also interested in the Technics AZ-80's due to stellar reviews. I also looked into the Denon PerL Pro's, but they didn't make it into my cart due to their large "dinner plate" design. They get rave reviews for sound quality, but I draw the line on aesthetics somewhere. SOUND: So, the shootout was between the Technics and Sennheisers and neither is a clear winner. The Technics sound a bit more natural and "cleaner" while the Sennheisers sound more punchy and lively. Both sound great, but if I had to pick one for overall sound for every application, I'd lean toward the Technics. They just sound clean and detailed. The Sennheisers are more customizable however. The app really let's you tinker with the sound profile, especially after you set up an account (a must for all the extra features). Out of the box, Technics sound better, but with adjustments, the Sennheisers close the gap. The Denons require tinkering as well to get them fine-tuned to your ears. FEATURES: The Sennheiser app is much more robust than the Technics app. Here it's not close - Sennheiser is a clear winner. Changing settings, customizing the eq and sound profile, and adjusting parameters is pretty straightforward here while a bit less so in the Technics app, which is a bit less intuitive to use. The ANC is ever-so-slightly better on the Sennheisers, but not enough to make a decision on that alone. FIT AND FINISH: Both sets look the business, but the Sennheisers are lower profile and fit more securely in my ears. Every ear is different, so this is a "try before you buy" situation, but for me, the Sennheisers were a clear winner for fit. The Technics case is petite in comparison however. It slips in a pocket and feels svelt while the Sennheiser case feels enormous. The cloth texture is a unique and premium touch and I'm a fan... But the size is noticeable. The charge port is also on the front, which I don't like whereas the Technics puts it in the back where it should be. The charge light is also better on the Technics, both in form and function, having a light on the outside and inside of the case showing battery and charge status. The Sennheisers only have a light on the outside of the case, partially obscured by the charge cable if plugged in. Technics case is a clear winner. VERDICT: Both of these buds are great, and each have their pros and cons. I like the fit and app of the Sennheisers way more than the Technics, but the Technics case is better and the sound is better out of the box. Technics' Three point pairing is an added bonus, but only at normal sound quality, which makes the feature moot for me. Technics seem to have a bit better quality control with less reported issues, but I'm hoping firmware updates have sorted out most of the kinks by now. For me, the Sennheisers simply fit my ears better and the app made it overall a much more pleasant experience. With some tinkering, I might be able to fine tune the sound a bit more and make them the winner in that department as well. The Klipsch (or Duracell) color scheme is pretty sweet on the Sennheisers, but the silver on the Technics is slick as well.

No son baratos pero merecen la pena por la calidad del sonido Se pueden ajustar diversos parámetros desde el móvil Totalmente recomendable

Für ganz kleine Ohrmuscheln nicht geeignet, aber sonst 1A! Super Sound, super ANC, guter Halt durch Ohrmuscheladapter... Halt bei Air P... nicht so gut... Google ... weniger ANC Einfach alle probieren, am Wichtigsten für mich ist der Halt, wobei sie auch nur so richtig abdichten

Best sound for price ever.

Producto de altísima calidad, con audífonos de gran calidad de sonido, un muy efectivo ANC y un estuche estético y compacto. Recomiendo a cualquier persona que busque audífonos de alta calidad, con buena conectividad y duración de batería, sin ser los más caros en el mercado.

Really really really nice earbuds. I own a bunch of other sets (Samsung, Sony, JBL, plus higher end wired ones) and these are by far my favorites. With my previous earbuds there was always one thing missing (JBL doesn't wireless charge, the Samsung have background hiss and sound is meh, I don't like the fit of the Sony ones). These come in a fabric wrapped case and look and feel very premium, charge wirelessly, fit well (I had to fiddle with the different tip sizes) and the sound is amazing. The active noise cancellation works fantastic too, and the app allows a lot for customization and tailoring of the sound profile. Now even on sale these are not cheap, but in my opinion and after trying quite a few others they are absolutely worth the price tag
