If you want effective noise cancelling headphones then take a look at the Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless. Not only do they cut the world out almost entirely but they sound fantastic and the battery lasts for ages, there's barely any bad to say.

Energetic, powerful sound, Adaptive ANC, 60 hours of battery, fast charging

Not great for exercise, EQ control could be more extensive

Highly competitive in the sound and features departments at this price, the latest Momentums keep the legacy alive despite a less luxurious appearance Clean, neutral, musical sound 60-hour battery life Effective ANC Wired listening doesn’t require battery Drops predecessors’ classy aesthetic Earcups...

The Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless are some of the very best-sounding, longest-lasting and the most comfortable noise-cancelling headphones available. What they lack in the visual flair of their predecessors, they make up for in performance.

Pros: fantastic sound, effective noise-cancelling, 60-hour battery life, super-comfortable, Bluetooth 5.2 with aptX Adaptive and multipoint, USB-C charging and audio, 2.5/3.5mm analogue cable, great controls, top voice quality, good cross-platform app.

Cons: expensive, don’t fold up as compact as the best, design less standout than predecessors.

The Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 are very good for commutes and travel. These well-built headphones have over 60 hours of continuous playback time, and a comfortable enough fit for long days on the go. They also come with a sturdy hard carrying case to help protect the headphones when not in use.

Comfortable fit and premium build., Over 60 hours of continuous battery life.

Struggle to block out the low rumble of bus and plane engines.

I have to admit, having the opportunity to review and test dozens of headphones is a big privilege. But it can also be a real dilemma. It really wouldn’t be an issue if there were only one or even two really premium and great sets of ANC headphones.

Nice, simple, clean design, Easy setup and operation, Very nice app, Great sound quality and soundstaging is neutral, Good call quality, Oustanding battery life, Competitive price, Great hard shell case

ANC falls short of the competition, More color options may bring more customers

I have always enjoyed Sennheiser headphones, not because they are the most accurate (except perhaps the HD 800S ) but because they make treble sound so sparkling and refined without overly harsh or sibilant.

Retains the strong bass and bright treble signature while boosting the upper midrange for better, New pinch-zoom gesture allows ANC adjustments on the headphones, Comfortable and easier to maintain compared to previous models

Overall design lacks strong style, ANC not able to suppress as much upper frequency noises compared to Sony and Bose

After three years, Sennheiser has finally updated their Momentum wireless headphones. And they do not disappoint.

First-class sound quality, better than others at the same price. Good comfort, and great battery life!

Moise reduction does not threaten the very best. Gets a bit hot over time. Only three-band EQ.

Every two years, Sennheiser updates its top over-ear model for the consumer market, the Momentum Wireless, with a new edition. Version 4, however, marks a watershed: The new Momentum 4 Wireless is not only the first Bluetooth over-ear under the aegis of Sonova Holding AG and Sennheiser’s licence (...

An overhauled design prioritizes comfort over the retro looks of Sennheiser’s past Momentums

Much-improved comfort, Better noise cancellation than before, Marathon 60-hour battery life

Terribly generic design, No more physical button controls, Headphones can power on unexpectedly

I had some high expectations for the Momentum 4 and since its initial teaser, it has become one of my most anticipated headphone releases this year. Now that I have spent a good amount of time with it, I feel confident saying that it is one of the best wireless headphones I have had the pleasure of...
