Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 Earbuds Review
Bottom Line
Choose these for excellent sound, deep app control, strong codec support, and a premium true-wireless package. Skip them if call quality, best-in-class ANC, iPhone integration, or a compact case matters most.
Best for
Best for Android users and sound-focused listeners who want premium tuning, deep EQ/app control, modern codec support, and a secure true-wireless design.
Not for
Not ideal for people who prioritize flawless iPhone integration, top-tier call microphones, the strongest ANC, spatial audio, or a very compact pocket case.
Verdict
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 earns its strongest praise for sound: reviewers repeatedly describe balanced clarity, deep controlled bass, spacious imaging, and refined treble. The app, EQ tools, Bluetooth 5.4, aptX Lossless, LE Audio, and Auracast make it feel unusually feature-rich, especially for Android users. The tradeoff is that its premium price buys an audio-first package, not the most complete everyday earbud. ANC is good but often not Bose- or Sony-leading, the case is chunky, and microphone performance becomes unreliable in wind or noisy streets. Fit and comfort are broadly positive, though small ears and long sessions can be a concern.

FAQ
Do the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 sound good?
Yes. Sound quality is the clearest point of agreement: reviewers praise the balanced clarity, bass control, midrange texture, treble refinement, and wide imaging.
Is the ANC best in class?
No. Reviewers generally find ANC good to very good, but several say Sony or Bose still block more noise, especially in tougher environments.
Are they good for calls?
They can work well in quiet conditions, but call quality is mixed. Wind, subway noise, and busy streets repeatedly hurt voice clarity or noise reduction.
Are they better for Android or iPhone?
They are a better fit for Android users because higher-end codecs and EQ flexibility matter more there. Reviewers note iPhone users lose many advanced codec advantages and may prefer AirPods Pro integration.
How comfortable and secure are they?
Most reviewers found them comfortable and stable, helped by multiple tips and fins, but small ears, thin tips, and long sessions caused fit or pressure issues for some.
Is the app useful?
Yes. Reviewers praise the Smart Control app for EQ, sound personalization, fit testing, connection management, battery tools, ANC/transparency settings, and customizable controls.
Are they worth the premium price?
They are worth it for buyers who value sound quality and future-facing features. They are harder to justify if you mainly need calls, iPhone ecosystem features, or the absolute strongest ANC.
