How was your experience with the M4? Was there any issues, hows the sound quality? Does this review reflect your experiences? Are you still using them? - Lots of questions, but I dont know which headphones to go for at the moment. Everyone seems to praise the M4 as the headphones with one of the best sound qualities, and I have to know if that is true. My (normal) PX7 just broke, and I dont know which ones to buy. Would the M4 be an upgrade? I dont know. Thanks for your answer.

Extremely informative review. I got a pair of Sennheiser M4 about 3 months ago and they’re absolutely amazing. I remember I had sampled them side by side with the Sony XM5 and the M4’s sound quality just blew my mind. The rich bass, the accurate mid and high ranges is just a treat to listen to. Unfortunately i discovered a slight bass imbalance in my unit and had to get it replaced. Yet to get my replacement unit and I hope it’s soon.

Great video man. I got the M4 a week ago and I was blown away by the sound quality at its price. I even compared it to the PX8 and my conclusion is that the PX8 are not 2,5 times better in sound quality (like the price). Oh, yeah - the 60h battery life on the M4 is just a killer feature itself.

Couldn't agree more i had the h95 prior, metalic sound signature gave me fatigue for a year great cymbals and guitar strings. M4 has more depth and better imaging, and raw sound good for editing or knowing you are listening to bad recording which surprised me alot. Okay soundstage typical of close back but better than H95 which was narrow for me. Keeping these also good for gaming and can't wait for the M5 when it comes hopefully ANC can be turned off.

Given the recent update to the Sennheiser Smart Control app, the M4 is a better option now. Because you can really personalise the EQ. I think these companies are beginning to integrate AI into their software as well. We are begging to see drastic improvements with every firmware update.

@VeitLehmann
@VeitLehmann Жыл бұрын
I really dig the addition of the 5 band EQ, it has added just the right bands to fix the frequency response. Now I can dial down the sometimes overpowering lower bass while keeping enough energy in the upper bass, and I also reduced 1kHz a bit (it tends to be a bit resonant there) and bumped 4kHz a little. So my personal preference is 63Hz: -2dB to -3dB, 250Hz: 0dB, 1kHz: -1.5dB, 4kHz: +1.5dB, 8kHz: 0dB.

A comparison with the Beoplay HX, instead of the PX8, would have been nice, since you've covered them in the past too [and which I'm just thinking of ordering today on Prime Day for €350, a price that makes them very desirable considering the build quality and my preference for a neutral sound].

Sad to see the durability issue with the PX7S2. Maybe if I find a bag of money on the ground I’ll grab the other two haha.

I was roaming through the youtube looking for a good comparisions of this two pairs of headphones and this is the best so far. But still I have no idea which to choose. I love good bass, but also a good separation of instruments, to get what a music producer wanted to give me. I've ordered both of them to check it out myself, because, lucky me, in my country if you order something through the internet, you have 2 weeks of free returns, so I can choose the best for me, and return the other ones without any particular reason.

That’s strange that m4 disconnects on you. But maybe the recent firmware update would have fixed that. There is no getting around the clamping force, through.

Great to have you back and see new content, and I really like the focus on sound quality! I have the Momentum 4 and I'm very happy with it overall. The sound quality (after adjusting the recently added 5 band EQ at least) and general UX is great! However, the headband on mine also broke a little already. Not nearly as bad as your PX7 S2, but the upper fabric coating got pulled out from the seam at the edge on the front side, at a length of roughly 8cm. Since then, it didn't get worse, so fingers crossed that it stays like this at least. I tried to put it back, but I didn't make it and there's no obvious way to disassemble the headband...

I love Sennheiser open back wired but i tried the m4 and out of the box they sound muddy. How does no one ever talk about this? I found the eq to help ever so slightly but the eq system is weird on the app. Personalized sound on the app however transforms the headphones enetirely and now sound crystal clear and boomy but not as punchy and tight like the s2e. Boomy being a loose bass and punchy being tight and doing what it needs to but not lingering. Kinda almost how a planar magnetic driver hits.

Hi, I think if you are getting a brand new PX8 for that price. Then it is worth it. PX7S2 will not fulfill your needs for hip hop bass. It has clean and detailed bass but not punchy.

Now that the PX7 S2e are out, I guess we will get another video comparison? :D. Much apreciate it. P.S Love the aesthetics of your video, you have a great taste and it's a joy to watch and listen to. I'm currently owning the B&O h6 2nd gen for ver 6 years, Sennheiser HD660s with IFI zen Dac 2 , had the momentum 3 and B&O H95. I have a few in ears like B&O EQ and Devialet Gemini. But I'm still in need of wireless `ANC over ear set. I oroginally returned the H95, becaus ethey were too heavy for my use case. I'm an artist myself, and while hunch over, while drawing/painting on my tablet the neck pains were coming in. I don't get that with in ears obviously and the H6 is around 240 grams, so that's a non issue as well. But to be honest I have them for this reason, and would like something to simply enjoy while moving around the house while doing things, chilling, or for on the road which is over ear. I'm considering PX7 S2e, PX8, Focal Bathys, but am waiting to see if B&O releases something new, as it's time?

I am looking for over-ear wireless headphones with ANC (it doesn’t have to be exceptionally good, but some level of it is required) for a budget of 1500 PLN (approx. 375 USD). The cheaper, the better, but I’m willing to add 50-100 PLN if needed. Use cases (in this order): 1. Gaming - 50% 2. Music - 30% 3. Movies - 20% Requirements: 4. They will be used 95% of the time indoors, but with my wife watching TV nearby and a baby on the way, ANC would be useful. 5. Very good sound quality. 6. They don’t have to be extremely lightweight, but they shouldn’t cause ear fatigue. I have JBL Live 650BTNC, which not only sound pretty bad (they’re loud, but I just don’t like the sound) but also start pressing on my ears after half an hour, making it unbearable to wear them. What do I like? I’m not an audiophile, so my descriptions may not be entirely professional, but I hope they help guide the recommendations: 7. I like deep bass that reaches low frequencies and “shakes with pressure,” not the booming sound like cheap subwoofers in budget car audio or 2.1 computer speaker systems. 8. I don’t like “tight” sound. I’ve tried headphones where everything sounded very “close” without any soundstage. 9. I think I prefer “warmer” sounds. 10. I mostly listen to American rap, but sometimes I’ll listen to Metallica or rock. I don’t listen to jazz or similar genres. Models I’ve considered and that might be an option: 11. SONY WH-1000XM4 or XM5 - I get the impression they’re heavily overhyped in the Polish internet. Lots of reviews and tests, but when I read comments from regular users, the picture isn’t so rosy. 12. BOSE QC Ultra - though they’re beyond my budget, and if they’re not exceptional, I’d prefer something else. 13. Sennheiser Momentum 4. 14. Shure AONIC 50 Gen 2 - supposedly lacking in bass? 15. B&W PX8 - but I have an iPhone without the necessary codec, and my PC’s Bluetooth doesn’t support it either. I suspect I would lose a lot in sound quality. Of course, I’m not limiting myself to these options. In fact, I’m hoping for suggestions of models I haven’t come across yet :-D. Oh, and I’ve had AirPods Pro and currently use AirPods Pro 2. Let’s say I’m okay with their sound. It’s not mind-blowing, but I definitely want over-ear headphones.

Nope. It's still happening on my PX8. I had to switch it off after testing several days.

I had B&W S2 since Jan 2023, I haven't had any issues with the quality even though I used to use it under rain until it got stolen previous week. And today I bought the same brand but it is called S2E (Just sound quality improvement). A bit expensiver than S2. But I have also B&W P5 and I bought it in 2017. Still it works great and the quality of the product is good. I just had to change the ear pads , that I have done so far. Personally I think their quality is much better that other brands. They give u a pure and great quality of sound and best mobile app. But when it comes to Px8. I do not buy it. Because the quality of PX7 is almost as same as PX8. BTW I use my headphones at least 8 hours per day. About Sennheiser , I would say it is really great. I love it but as a Pro music listener I don't think it is a good choice ! Why ? If you are musician and in a same time u wanna listen to a pure music without any enhances or sound manipulations, I wouldn't recommend it even though that brand is using in many recording studios. My first choice so far has been B&W but definitely the second choice is Sennheiser.

This is so on point! Thank you for sharing. As for the defect, yeah, it seems that not all the units have this weak point. In any case, they can be replaced under warranty.

I highly recommend a DAP to enjoy or get the best of out your headphones no matter the one you get ..when it comes to durability B&O and Sennheiser wins for overall ..when it comes to plain comfort for very long listening sessions nothin beats the Xm series headphones from sony ...sony has more convenient features so it always depends on consumer needs and tastes ...bowers and wilkins are rediculously overpriced

Durability is what honestly keeps me from purchasing a headset. Every headphone I've used has teared on the leather ear pad. Seeing the build quality on the Bowers is very disappointing.

Indeed, very disappointing. But the sennheiser is much better in that department.
