Sennheiser - Momentum 4 Wireless

You need momentum 4 earbuds or devialet Gemini 2 or noble rex5. Best earbuds ever made IMHO

I’ve had a few gens of the momentum buds including This one, most tend to be buggy and die for random reasons but while they work they’re great! I still have my momentum 2’s and they go hard, both 3 and 4 had battery issues in one bud. You CAN crack them open and replace the battery pretty cheap but honestly I just send em back for a refund get my money back 9 - 15 months later

So I bought the momentum 4/Xm5/BD amron 300/az 100/JBL tour live 3. Eventually went with the Rex 5 but thats a different story. Out of those five I had the JBLs as my favorite. By far actually. I still use them for the gym cause water resistance...

I ordered all the popular buds (momentum 4, AZ100, Amron300, XM5, Tour 3) and for me the JBL (SURPRISINGLY) won by far actually. Also really liked the beyern but the bass sucked ass.

The momentum were nice, but way too flat for my liking. They had a very natural sound, clear but flat. I mainly got mine for the gym and listen to the harder styles and metal.

Having kind of a different experience myself with owning CX plus that stopped working and then i bought the Air Pods Pro 2 before going to Momentum 4. Honestly i expected more. The sound quality is good, but i think it could be better, while saying the ANC is spot on is a joke for a pair that costs 200 euros. I have had Xiaomi Buds 3 with the same ANC and we all know how much they cost. For me it was kind of a let down. I loved my CX plus and could say they were the best earphones i used and expected the momentum 4 to be next level in everything and sadly for me they are just not.

Yes, it is a game changer, but maybe i had too high expectations. Momentum 4 is the highest class of TWS earphones and for me they just deliver that

So i am on an Iphone and have owned both in the last year. The momentum 4 TWS are my current headphones and to be honest I expected more. After the Airpods Pro 2 i thought that the MTW4 would be miles ahead but in some aspects they are worse. For me, even with sound personalization the sounds in both is on par and i actually prefer the Pro 2, connectivity is a game changer if you’re using iphone, and honestly the ANC on Pro 2 is miles ahead. I have owned CX Plus before and loved them until one headphone died on me, that is why i excepted so much of the momentum 4, and they kind of disappointed me. It sounds like they could be better and you think being the companies TWS flagman they would be top of the line in every aspect, but for me they aren’t.

I bought the 3s and went thru three pairs in two months until the 4s came out. Surprising no one, the 4s has the exact same issues. So incredibly frustrating since I loved them but they were more of a pain than anything else. I seriously doubt I'll ever get an senn product again after that

I think they sound pretty bad compared to most buds...call me biased, but I actually prefer the JBL tuning for music and I tried a few, including the Momentum 3 & 4... I got them for $100 sealed so...it's okay. Interestingly, despite being smaller are less comfortable to sleep with and fall out of my ears quicker than the PBP1... I also find that when sweat...they tend to slide out of my ears. Haven't found yet the perfect buds. What I appreciate the most: -transparency ( seems that nobody is challenging this) - case ( wished more manufacturers would make a case as small as this and as well balanced and shaped... But again...sound quality... pretty bad, sorry...

I’ve had Sony XM5, Bose Ultra Open and Quiet Comfort Ultra, Jabra 10’s, and the Sennheiser Momentum 4’s. I used them all for working out/music/work (switching between Teams calls and cell) and the Sennheiser Momentum 4s beat out the others in just about every category that’s important for me (comfort, connectivity, app UI, and call clarity). They’re wildly underrated buds compared to what’s popular right now. I don’t know if they’re still on sale, but they were just $100 off at Best Buy for $199, and I HIGHLY recommend them over the other high end choices available.

*Sennheiser Momentum 3/4 with Sound Personalization - this is the important part - the Sound Personalization option because it puts the customizable EQ to shame. I've been rotating between these (the 3s) and my Liberty 3 Pro strictly for music. Although they're dated at this point, the Liberty 3 Pro are still at the very top of my list for music. Their bass, soundstage, and separation are a step above anything else I've tried, but the Sennheiser has better clarity. What Sennheiser was able to do with only 7mm drivers is nothing short of amazing.

Unless you're already using it, you should definitely try the Sound Personalization setting. It brings these buds to life like nothing I've tried before. I usually always stay away from anything that isn't the customizable EQ, but just for the Sennheiser Momentum 3/4, it's a completely different ballgame. I keep mine set around 5 o'clock and about 1/8th of an inch away from the edge. Give it a shot. I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed.

I almost didn't bother because with every other set of earbuds I've tried these settings with, it's always been more of a gimmick, but with the Sennheiser, it was truly a night-and-day difference.

I've tried many, and some of the best are the Soundcore Liberty 4 NC, Liberty 4 Pro, Edifier Neobuds Pro 2, and the Sennheiser Momentum 3/4. Unfortunately, I've never tried the Bose, but I have the Sony XM4/5, and they didn't impress me.

I've had the momentum 4 wireless earbuds for about a semester in college now, and one of them has completely stopped working. Looked it up, apparently the right earbud is notorious for just ceasing functionality at random. My friend had the same issue before I had bought them and had assumed it to be a fluke or that he had damaged them, but it turns out it's a big issue I have to recommend against them for that reason. I also have to say, the sound quality is not all it's chalked up to be - they have a pretty bad eq in the 15k hz range and aboveand the stereo profile doesn't feel very wide. They definitely sound really good overall though and I didn't really have any complaints once I got used to them, but still they get way too much credit in my opinion. I had bought them after my airpods pro 2s had finally stopped working after a couple years, and was kind of disappointed off the bat as I find the airpods to have a much cleaner sound profile, as well as extremely better noise cancellation and passthrough, and a more comfortable fit in my ears. After adding a small eq to my airpods I was even able to use them to mix and master some of my music while I was out of the country, and while obviously it's not as good as studio headphones, I have tried several times with the momentums and it's considerably harder due to the uneven frequency response. Can't speak to the sony or galaxy earbuds, but at least can recommend against the sennheisers and would honestly recommend you look into airpods, even if you don't have apple devices.

In the same price range, in order of sound quality, Denon Perl Pro (with AAT) Technics AZ80, and Sennheiser Momentum TW 4 (with Sound Personalization). In order of ANC/transparency performance, the MTW4, Perl Pro, AZ80. Because of app and feature set, I daily drive the MTW4, but without question the Denon’s are the better sounding set and the one I reach for if I’m just consuming media. My only gripe with the Perl Pros is the tips, which are too shallow for my tastes; I run them with the Divinus Velvets (if you change tips you’ll want to also rerun AAT). There are sets that are better from a pure sound quality perspective, like the Gemini II, but they’re not priced competitively and need some further revisions to codec, BT and application/feature set support before they’re ready for prime time. The Geminis reminded me a lot of the Levinson 5909, a phenomenal sounding set held back by the hardware and software included. Unfortunately, the APP2s are extremely difficult to beat from a pure value perspective (if you’re an iOS user). I still use them often during travel when I need the best ANC possible, but fit and other issues hold them back from being in my top 5. That, and Apple really needs to consider its prosumer customer base and provide access to some form of parametric EQ (something they’re unlikely to ever implement, sadly).

My ranking (pictured [here](https://imgur.com/a/tws-ranking-left-to-right-MBqgKk5)) based on sound quality, battery life, app, and features: MTW4 (w/ Sound Personalization) > Technics AZ100/AZ80 > Denon Perl Pro (w/ AAT) > B&W Pi8 > Devialet Gemini II > Sony XM5 > APP2 > Bose QC Ultra Sound quality isn't an empirical measurement. It will be based on preference. Most TWS within a certain price range aren't going to suffer from "qualitative" issues and will all perform well, but will be tuned very differently from one another. Recency bias also plays a major role in recommendations within the community, so keep that in mind. MTW4 with SP was the best balance of tuning, battery life, features, and user experience for me, and is my typical go-to. I'm also a fan of rock/metal and hip hop, thus a set like the AZ100, which excels in many other areas -- including battery life and ANC -- and beats the MTW4 in some genres, gets ranked lower as the timbre and tonality in genres with high gain guitars is lacking. It's as if Technics applied a high shelf filter and rounded off the treble, which diminishes some of the dynamics and energy/attack of guitar-based tracks. AZ80 is better in this regard, but a downgrade in ANC and battery life. The Perl Pro sound stellar with AAT, but AAT can be hit or miss for some and is very tip dependent. AAT *should* be used in conjunction with EQ to get the most out of the Perl Pros -- something many users miss, as AAT is correction, not intended as a replacement EQ -- and I'd recommend looking at alternative tips like the Dunu S&S, Divinus Velvet, Spinfit Omni/Neo, etc. B&W Pi8 sounds very good, but is a bit too neutral for my tastes. It was also plagued with connectivity issues. I replaced my original unit, and had the same problems, so that set is rarely used. I know a lot of users that swear by this set, but it was not near the top of my list even without considering the connectivity issues. EQ could not fix my issues with the tuning; in some cases, it introduced sibilance. Outside of ANC, the Bose QC Ultra is at the bottom of my list. And to be fair, that list is much larger than what was pictured above as I have tested dozens of TWS sets. The tuning of the Bose is just not for me, but I know other hobbyists that swear by it. The ANC is world class, however. One of the few sets I quickly returned as I had no interest in keeping it around, even to collect dust. TLDR; this is very subjective, and I wouldn't recommend basing your buying decision on one user or reviewer's opinion unless you know your preferences align -- and even then, you may be disappointed with the results. If sound quality is your one and only goal, there are better options. Even the best TWS in my rotation will rarely beat out a dedicated IEM, running on something like the Q5k, iFi Go Pods, or the FiiO UTWS5 -- the former and the latter both have access to EQ. Unless I need ANC or TWS features, this is what I use the majority of the time.

Sound: Sennheiser's Momentum lineup, Denon Perl Pros, Technics AZ80/AZ100, and B&W Pi8, in that order (taking into account Sound Personalization and AAT are being used). Everything else on the market, from the typical brands, falls below that line -- APP2, XM5, Bose QC Ultra, etc. Longevity, having tested dozens of these sets, the AirPods Pros are likely to outlast most of the other brands (my first and second gens are still charging well without any discernible issues). I've had battery and charging issues with the XM4s and XM5s, Sennheiser's MTW3 (MTW4 hasn't been on the market long enough to know whether there are any battery longevity issues); Denon is already showing serious battery degradation issues; Technics are in the charging issue camp as well (one or both earbuds often do not charge and need to be reseated often, similar to the Sony's); Pi8 has intermittent connectivity issues. The list goes on. There are outliers like the JLAB Epic Lab Edition, which have excellent battery life and seem to hold up well over time. Surprisingly, these are some of the best sounding and longest lasting buds on the market, for sometimes half the price of competitors. It can't compete with the top brands on tuning, but it gets damn close for the price. At some point, chasing sound quality (and longevity) begs the question, should you just sacrifice wireless connectivity and choose a traditional IEM? Despite owning most of the current premium earbud lineup, I find myself recommending and often daily driving the Epic Labs -- just due to the convenience of the battery life alone. And if that battery starts to degrade, there's enough overhead where I could still potentially get a good amount of time out of them before the issues are untenable.

I just bought the nothing ears 2024, insane bass if you’re into it at that price. I also have the momentum 4 which are definitely better overall but aren’t durable at all.

I think Bose quiet comfort ultra are not great. I have those, Bose quiet comfort 1 Bose quiet comfort 2 Bose quiet comfort ultra AirPod pro 2 Sony wf1000xm5 Sennheiser momentum 4 buds If it’s the original Bose quiet comfort 1 I think they are great. Gen 1 had wireless charging, great noise cancelling, definitely the best iteration, I have had to replace all the parts on the ultra and gen 2. I use my AirPod pro 2 often cause they connect quick and work with the apple interface so well. My current favorite are the sennheiser right now

I can help answer. The denon pearl pro are the best sounding in that list, and also now on sale for $150. I had the sony wh-1000xm5 and returned them. The bass rolled over into the mids too much and instrument separation was terrible. I had momemtum 2 and 3s, had two pairs or 2, and one pair of the 3, all had the same battery failure. I'm sure the momemtum 4 sound good but I'm not wasting my time or money again on sennheiser. So far the denon are the best sounding earbuds I've listened to. The closest thing I've found that sounds like my open back headphones

i think they are great for music and the anc is also one of the best. they also fit pretty much perfect in my ears. if ur preference is music its a nobrainer. BUT like the 1st gen they still have white noise and its annoying in a quiet environment. at some point u also will have crackling noises because of the mics when dust gets into them and the permanent anc. imo they dont sound great for stuff like tv shows, youtube vids, podcasts, etc. they are always kinda too loud kinda too bassy too unreal...voices just dont sound authentic plus THE WHITE NOISE FROM HELL if u lay in bed and just wanna watch some stuff right before sleeping. i also have sennheisers momentum tw 4 and they sound WAY more authentic in podcasts etc. and have another dynamic for music but they have other downsides which the bose doesnt have. just my 2 cents

i dont think so the first gen also has it and it never changed the perfect dailys i didnt found yet. i also tried some jbl's live and tour which i didnt like and some cheaper ones (i dont remeber what all the modells were) in the 100 bucks range... they all werent it from all i have tested i liked the sound from the sennheisers the most in generell. they are gold standard to me also because of the sound personalization. but they dont rly fit in my ears for a long time cuz they are chonky as hell and they are just not that powerful in bass in higher volumes.

airpods pro 2 still remain to be the most balanced sounding out of everything I've tried this year. But, the AZ80 and Momentum 4s were also fantastic but their form factors and ANC feel like compromises in comparison.

Try it in a Subway or an airport. They keep losing a signal, music is interrupted every 2 seconds and they are not usable in these cases Otherwise, they sound very good. Previously, I had TWS 1st gen and those didnt have any problem with crowded environments. But battery dies pretty quickly.

Ever since losing my 3 year old Jabra elite 4 actives that I liked I began looking for my replacement buds. I have Momentum 4 headphones that I bought on sale and they are amazing, however, walking outside with those things are a pain and exercising in them is not recommended, I need earbuds. Because of my experience with the momentum 4 headphones, I chose to go for sennheiser. Was originally looking at the CX but the momentum 4 tws was on sale so I bought the copper ones, and oh my… The sound quality exceeded my expectations, I wouldn’t consider myself a hardcore audiophile, but I’m taking a long journey there. The touch controls are great and the case looks nice. Like the momentum headphones, I can hear so much fine detail in songs it’s crazy! I absolutely love these things! I hate myself for going broke over these but I can’t say I didn’t get my moneys worth 😂

Sennheiser momentum tws 4 without a doubt. The sound is heavenly

Sennheiser momentum tws 4 without a doubt. I had bose qc ultra but they got stolen unfortunately. Then I bought momentum 4 tws and they are so so much better.

I use mine on aptx, and SBC when watching TV. I can say without question, that they are the best sounding buds I have ever owned. I even prefer to wear them to sleep. And I currently own them, az100, xm5 Overheads and buds, Sennheiser M4 and tws, galaxy buds 2 pro, xm4 overhead, and QC ultra overhead. Gave away my tozo A1 golden. Anyway my point is my perl pro are my go to!!

also one annoying thing to point out is that their controls are meh, but works out nevertheless. Cos the audio and ANC is next level. I owned the Sennheiser momentum 4 tws for 8 months until they broke. Got refund, so I got this instead. If you are located in EU, then get it from amazon or coolblue. Both have very good warranty system. In case you get issues within the 2 year warranty, they will repair the product or refund your money back.

Ah shit. I hope mine does not. But mine has 2 year replacement warranty due to Europe. So if shit happens, I can send it back and get money back. So no risk taken. Also hahahaha my senny mtw4 died after 8 months lol. What do you use now?

I love my sennheiser momentum tws 4's

Ended up going with the M4s. I like them but I am not sure Sennheiser is the way to go for blue tooth. The call quality is definitely better on these than the MTW4s but I would probably go with technics or something. Love Senn and the m4s really do sounds fantastic but their bluetooth side of things can be abysmal.

Wired headphone - Fiio FT1 or Senn HD599. Wired IEM - Simgot EW300, Truthear Hexa or Crinear Meta. Wireless - Focal Bathys or Sennheiser M4’s. Usually the EW300 is my go to more regularly though.

Agreed, just got myself a new pair of Sennheiser momentum tws 4, not sure if i like it more than the Sony

I’m sad when I read posts like this. Yeah, I had issues with the first, second, and third generations, with either the left or right side not working. But I still went for the Series 4, and bought two—one for me and one for my dad. My dad had to replace his unit three times, but I never had any issues with the 4th gen. Honestly, I love that brand too much to mind. I’m fine with it, and I hope they keep refining the product with each new generation. Such an amazing audio experience and signature come at a price. I just hope I don’t have any issues until the fifth generation is out, and when it is, I’ll buy them again, haha

They have great balanced sound and strong bass. I was surprised how much improved they are over the MTW3s. Also the B&W PI 5 S2 had amazing bass but I can’t speak for the newer models

Exactly, their Momentum 4 TWS earbuds are really not that great and have a massive drop after 14kHz, which means anything above that won´t be reproduced to any meaningful amount. I´ve had quite a few moments in songs where things were straight up just missing entirely, due to this. I´m quite underwhelmed by the current state of mass market consumer products like this and fully back into wired. Beyerdynamic DT 1990 pro at home, Sennheiser IE600 on the go.

Many earbuds can have their thouch controls reconfigured. Samsung Galaxy Buds+ do this by default, set up my Sennheiser Momentum 4 TWS to behave the same way. Not familiar with anything else, unfortunately but you may just pick one model and maybe have a look in it's user manual (if available online).

Pop 'em in and they sound good. Do the personal setup and they're god-tier.

I've used them since release for strength training with 0 issues. Recently they've started making a popping noise when running (I think it's a fit issue, pretty sure it's just the seal).

Head over to r/earbuds I think the best deal right now are the Denon PerL Pros at $149 on Amazon. (They were as low as $99 a few weeks ago). Amazing customized sound and great hires codec support if you're on Android. But everything else is meh compared to the other big boys--anc is relatively poor, app is weird, call quality is only ok, charging case makes it hard to get the buds out, and they may or may not be comfortable for you. But the sound quality is a tier above everything else in the $100-$150 range. Nothing Ear (2024) at $115 now on Amazon are kind of the opposite. Sound quality is very, very good but not top tier, but the case is fun (and easy to get the buds in and out) the app is amazing for customized sound EQ and features, they have squeeze stems for more accurate button control, ANC is very good (though not top tier), call quality seems about average. They're also really comfy for me but may come loose while exercising. The other top tier sound quality buds are Sennheiser Momentum4s (I have these and agree that they're amazing), Sony 1000XM-5 (some folks say these are the best far and away but others disagree) Bose QC Ultra (great ANC but Bose tuning which some people like and others don't), Technics AZ-80s (often mentioned as the best and now on sale for $200 because their next Gen buds have been teased), and OnePlus Buds Pro 3 And AirPod pros, of course,which are generally highly recommended if you have an iPhone. There are lots of reviews of those buds that you can read. Next tier down includes Soundcore Liberty 4 NC (especially for ANC) EarFun Air Pro 4 OnePlus Nord Buds 3

I’m glad that you like them! I liked mine too while they worked. Unfortunately I’ve had 3 pairs and they all completely broke within 4 months of getting them. I hope your experience is better

Sennheiser Momentum 4 TWS

The anti-wind ANC is fantastic.

Any BT connection problems for you? Mine seem to glitch and drop every so often.

Buds 3 Pro & Sennheiser Momentum 4 TWS

I love my tws 4's for listening to music around the house or at lunch at work but i could just never get these to be comfortable enough for daily commutes or walking around earbuds even though the sound is incredible. I've actually found myself using my galaxy buds 3 pro for daily usage because they are just so dang comfortable and work great with my s23. The sound isnt quiiiiiite what the sennheisers can do but i'll trade the sound for the much better comfort and the million miles better microphone for phone calls. Outside of the buds 3 pro Ive found myself rotating between my sony xm5s and my nothing ears quite a bit lately. The bass on the nothings is fantastic and i really like the sound they can push out with heavier faster music like deathcore, gabber, hard techno and such. On days when i'm feeling more chill the sonys will have a bigger 'fuller' sound.

I know this is a "buy" thread but wanted to save you from pouring money into Sennheiser Momentum any model. Very reliably unreliable....having two pairs replaced under warranty and still failed on the third.

Go for senheisser momentum

Thats why we have Wavelet. But the closer the better. Some of the best I've owned and tried are Beoplay EQ, B&W p8i and Sennheiser Momentum.

Person who actually listens to music here, and cares about headphones. Technics AZ100s are absolutely stellar - get them. Oppo Enco X3s (when you are able to buy them in the UK) are cheaper, but absolutely superb. The X2s are some of my favourite ever earbuds. Sennheiser momentums are also very good. Bose quiet comforts are decent but quality wise don't keep up with the above three. Airpods are overpriced and are whitegirl apple product bait. The Sony earbuds noise cancelling is weak and the case battery fails after 12 months for a lot of people.

Sennheiser momentum, on offer now for less than £200, were 300 when they came out. Theyre somehow better than my big bose quietcomfort pair
