What Buyers Say

✅ What Works

60-hour battery with ANC enabled is the longest in the consumer over-ear category by a meaningful margin — Canadian users who travel frequently or forget to charge report this as the single most practical advantage over Sony and Bose
Sound quality consistently rated above Sony XM5 by audiophile-leaning reviewers — the Momentum 4 has a more neutral, detailed sound signature that rewards good source material
Adaptive ANC with transparency mode is among the most natural sounding in the category — less ear pressure than Sony's ANC at equivalent settings, which matters for all-day office wear
Lightweight foldable design despite the large drivers — more portable than its size suggests and the carrying case is genuinely travel-ready

⚠️ Worth Knowing

Touch controls have documented inconsistency — multiple users report accidental activations and the sensitivity requires adjustment to personal preference via the app
ANC doesn't quite match Bose QC Ultra on raw noise reduction — better for music listeners who want natural ANC than commuters who need maximum isolation
Better for home and office listening than gym use — no IPX rating and the touch controls make it less practical for active workouts

What Real Buyers Are Saying

What buyers love

"Just received mine yesterday and after hours of testing, they sound noticeably better than the XM5s I had — I prioritized sound over ANC and Sennheiser wins that."

"Momentums have the edge on sound quality, Bose has better ANC, Momentums battery life is 60hrs vs Bose 30. If you want best sound quality get the Momentums."

"Amazing price — the 60 hour battery alone makes this worth it over Sony."

Common complaints

Touch controls are unreliable and frequently misfire

"Touch controls are garbage" is a recurring phrase in r/headphones Momentum 4 discussions. Accidental touches skip tracks, change volume, or trigger Transparency mode when adjusting the headphones. Several owners disable touch controls entirely via the app.

ANC doesn't match Sony or Bose for commuting — voices and mid-frequencies pass through

The Momentum 4's ANC is good but not class-leading. In noisy transit environments, it underperforms the Sony XM5 and Bose QC Ultra on voice-frequency attenuation. Buyers who prioritize commute noise isolation should shortlist those instead.

Yoke hinge creak develops after 12–18 months of regular use

Long-term owners consistently report a creaking sound from the yoke hinge (the rotating joint connecting the ear cup to the headband) developing around the one-year mark. It doesn't affect audio but is noticeable in quiet environments.

ClearPick Verdict

The Sennheiser Momentum 4 is the audiophile's choice in the mainstream wireless ANC category. The 60-hour battery is practically unmatched, the sound quality edges out Sony and Bose for listeners who care about detail and neutrality, and the build quality feels genuinely premium. If choosing between this and the Sony XM5 — pick Sony for commuting and ANC, pick Sennheiser for music quality and battery life.
