MOMENTUM
The MOMENTUM line of headphones from Sennheiser is among the most well-known active noise cancelling (ANC) headphone lines. With a proven track record and a price and a reasonable price, the MOMENTUM 4 Wireless headphones face strong competition from the newest models from Bose, Sony, and Apple, but they offer plenty to make them worth your consideration if you're in the market for ANC headphones.
The earcups have a fairly substantial amount of padding and are designed to sit comfortably around your ears. They also have soft leatherette material on the top portion of the band that goes around your head. I found it comfortable to wear for a long time and the band is flexible enough to allow glasses to fit and glasses, which is a nice feature.
Contrary to other ANC headphones unlike other ANC headphones, unlike some ANC headphones, MOMENTUM 4 Wireless sound is more balanced than focusing too much on highs or bass. This is a positive thing because it gives you an even representation of music and speech. They do wander a bit towards the realm of boosts at lower frequencies however, this is a common feature of headphones targeted at commuters, where ambient noise is likely to compete with low-level music and speech.
As with other top contenders in the ANC category, the MOMENTUM 4 Wireless Noise Reduction is good. It's not as great as the top ANC headphones in our test however, it is close. And, as a bonus, you can defer projects to the next quarter with just two clicks, making them an excellent choice for work or school.
The MOMENTUM Wireless can be connected to a Bluetooth device and you can choose from SBC AAC, aptX or codecs. The 3.5mm connector on the headphone can be used to listen to audio sources without Bluetooth support.
The MOMENTUM 4 Wireless comes with a microphone array that lets you make and receive calls. The microphone is decent however it's not going to give the highest quality audio for phone conversations. The microphone is still better than those on most entry level headphones.
