Momentum 4 Wireless

Sennheiser's Momentum 4 lasted 56 h 21 min in one test, but the newer Momentum 5 cancels more noise.

Buying call

Buy the Momentum 4 only at a clear discount: few headphones last as long, at 56 h 21 min with ANC on in one test, and you get aptX Adaptive and a customizable EQ. Skip it if noise canceling comes first, because lab testing found it cuts only about 75% of low-pitched noise, behind Bose and Sony. The Momentum 5 (June 2026) adds stronger ANC, aptX Lossless and a user-replaceable battery, so the 4 makes sense only at a steep discount.
