The verdict
The Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless is the audiophile's pick — What Hi-Fi and TechRadar both gave it a rare perfect 5/5, Tom's Guide 4.5/5, for signature Sennheiser tuning plus 60-hour battery (double any rival). ANC is the one area it trails the Sony XM6 and Bose QC Ultra. Pick it if sound quality and all-day battery matter more than top-tier noise cancellation.
Strengths
- +Class-leading 60-hour battery life — double the Sony/Bose/Apple rivals
- +Sennheiser's signature warm, balanced tuning is widely preferred by audiophiles over Sony or Bose defaults
- +Supports LDAC and aptX Adaptive for high-res wireless on Android
- +Smart Control app has genuinely useful EQ with clear visualization
- +Noticeably lighter at 293g than the Bose (250g), Sony XM6 (254g), but much lighter than the Apple AirPods Max (385g)
Watch-outs
- −ANC performance is good but trails Sony and Bose — not the pick if noise cancellation is your #1 concern
- −Understated design can look bland next to the Apple AirPods Max or Bose QC Ultra
- −No IP rating — shared limitation with Sony
