The Sennheiser Momentum 4 looks completely different from its predecessor. With its new design and high wearing comfort, high sound quality and top-class noise canceling, I enjoy my favorite music immensely. The only thing I find disappointing is the equalizer.
Premium design with high wearing comfort
When I take the headphones out of the packaging, I immediately notice the design. This one is completely different from that of the Momentum 3, which has more of an industrial look. I like this new design and it looks more premium. I put the headphones on my head and immediately notice that the wearing comfort is high. The leather of the ear pads is very soft and fits nicely around my ears. The headband is just as soft, allowing me to listen to my favorite songs for hours without irritating my scalp.
Nice sound with a lot of detail
The sound quality of these headphones is high. I hear a lot of detail in my favorite songs, which makes listening to music even more fun. I myself listen to a lot of dance music, where the low tones play a prominent role. With this genre I notice that the bass can handle well, but I think it could be a bit firmer sometimes. In the Sennheiser Smart Control app I change the sound via an equalizer, where I emphasize the low tones. I just don't notice much of this, which I think is a shame.
Extensive app, but equalizer could be better
In addition to adjusting the sound via an equalizer, I change many more settings in the Sennheiser app. The app is very extensive and that's great, because it allows me to customize the headphones completely. For example, I download updates and change the strength of the noise canceling.
Top class noise canceling
The noise canceling is top class and dampens a lot of ambient noise. For example, I work in the office and I am much less bothered by colleagues talking next to me, so that I can fully focus on my work. When I take the train home during rush hour, the noise canceling ensures that I am not bothered by the busy train compartment. This makes me completely immersed in the music. With the noise canceling turned on, these headphones last 60 hours on a full charge. That way it lasts for days without having to charge it.
