On paper, the Sennheiser Momentum 4’s are amazing. Their battery life simply crushes both of Sony’s headphones. Their ANC rivals that of the Sony 1000XM5’s, and the Momentum 4’s simply sound better than both of Sony’s headphones. However, there are some quirks about the Momentum 4’s which are just too hard to ignore. Nonetheless, if you’re trying to choose between any of these headphones, lets see how the Sennheiser Momentum 4’s stack up to both the Sony 1000XM5’s and the Sony 1000XM4’s.

I feel like the most important thing, by a long shot, is sound quality and the momentum 4’s win in that department. Therefore the momentum 4’s are the winner for me. You can throw in as many gimmicks as you want but if they don’t sound good, they aren’t worth the money.

Interestingly, I sold my XM4s a week ago and got the Momentum 4s. The M4's software issues are mostly fixed through software updates (Currently on version 2.19.12). I've travelled with the M4's in the case, flipped them upside down and to the side, and they didn't turn on. Seems like they adjusted the sensitivity. The wear sensors also work 100% now. They also always connect to my phone when they turn on now. One last thing about the M4s - they do have slightly more clamping force than the XM4s but the earcups are deeper and angled. When wearing the XM4s for longer than an hour or two, the earpads would compress enough that my ears would lightly rest on the inside drivers. However, the M4's earcups are deep enough that my ears never touch the drivers. They're actually quite similar to how the Bose QC45's earcups are internally, which I've tried in-store.

Open headphones without microphone and with audiojack (or usb and integrated dac/amplifier) are surely better for listening music at the same price, but for office environment, they are absolutely useless.

Cause I have 5 years old Sennheiser PXC550 having just AptX and sound quality is **awful** when some application requests microphone and headphones switch to headset mode. It does not matter if it's used via BT or USB, cause I think USB connection is used for tunneling bluetooth data. In theory, headphones can be used as USB soundcard, but they are not. And I'm sure someone complained about the same on other headphones.

Ok so I had both the xm5 and the momentum 4. I gotta say this: Sony will spoil you with the noise cancelation and those app features. However - and this is important - the momentum 4 is the winer here because the noise cancelation is just a touch weaker than the Sony's. That means that you will not hear any noise once your music is on. You will only hear some high pitch sounds when you're not playing music. And the cabin pressure thing is not there either. The sound quality in the momentums is on a pro level when compared to Sony's, cause the Sony's sound is... just playing music... and the momentums sound much like the instruments of the song were right there in front of you. You will notice that when you play live concerts or classical music.But also in the details eg in some progressive tracks. Trust me their sound is BIG and Sony's sound like a regular set of headphones compared to momentum's. And they are more comfy too, cause in my example Sony's earpads just touched my ears on the edges and it felt a lil bit like you were having that rubber cap on your head when you go swimming. The Sony's are objectively better in noise cancelling but when you try the momentums you will forget the Sony's. I tried these in a really old and loud, shaking train and the noise around me wasn't like completely gone but the ANC was good enough to make me not notice it at all. Sony's ARE better, but you don't need it. Plus the sound... Oh and regarding the issues. I haven't noticed any of those mentioned in the video. The reviewer here is probably using one of the first peaces. Right after launching the app there was an update with some fixes and they even included the 5 band EQ.

I have heard the M4s produce great bass but start sounding distorted at higher volume compared to the XM4s. I've also heard with an adjuatee EQ the XM4s can match the M4s highs and clarity without compromising the good bass.. what's your take? I'm torn between the 2.

I got my sony xm3s over 3 years ago. I have a small head and its hard to find headphones that fit good over the ear. I have worn the xm3's for 10 hours at a time and honestly forgot I had them on. For my head shape they are so comfortable. Clamp force is perfect. Speaking to build quality I have spilled stuff on them, stepped on them, detailed cars in 100 degree heat wearing these during the summer seasons, done yard work and I use them for work. They are still ticking. I have been hard on them and they have held up great. I got a gift and figured I will give th xm5's a shot. I actually like the design of the 3's and 4's over the new ones. I don't give care there is a lot of plastic they are built like f*kin tanks. If the 5's don't blow me away I'll send back for a set of sony 4's. I will stay with sony due to build quality and comfort. They have blown me away in that dept.

I actually bought XM4 and I was in for major disappointment. After two weeks I called Sony and they said my color just went out of stock and to wait till the next year (!). Then they didn't want to send me different color because 'it's different item' (we're talking exact same model and price just different color) so I had to cancel order to order different color. Cancellation process took them few days to complete (that's before they started processing a refund). After I finally got the XM4 it turned out they're faulty. Left noise cancelling mic was not working so it was painful to wear them with the noises it produced. Online support somehow tried to tell me it's normal/it's my fault and if I want them to look at it I'd have to pay!. I went to the physical store and the guy tested it and told me that indeed it's faulty and to get a replacement from online as I bought it online. So I asked for replacement or refund. They asked me 'so which one you want'. I said: 'if you have a working model available this year I'll take it'. They said: 'oh this is popular fault and most likely the replacement will also have it (!) so we will just organise a refund'. Still waiting for that refund but I was shocked how they suddenly casually admitted that most of their stock is faulty so there is no point of even replacing it. Anyway my last time with Sony.

Absolutely amazing. While wearing my M5 through my phone while watching the video through my desktop, I found myself shutting off my desktop to go to sleep. I couldn't hear what you were saying which is exactly what any good programmer is looking for. They totally blew away the Bose 35 that my wife bought me last year but came in close to my M3s that I keep at the office. Maybe, I am now too tired to think about it, but I did get a problem solved even though my wife, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law are downstairs. Not that I was aware of that due to my new M5s. None of the points that you were looking at but all of the points that any good programmer working in a typical office are looking for. Key points it makes your co-workers disappear audibility.

I have the XM3 the Momentum 2, 3 and 4 wireless and I don't understand how people can say the ANC on the Momentum 4s is practically or very near on par with the Sony. It's just not true. The ANC on the M4 is a bit better than on the M3, which have very bad ANC, but Sony's is way better, not even close. The battery life is the best thing about the M4. I also can't agree with the comfortabilty everyone says about the M4. I think the XM3 are much more comfortable. I even think the M3 are slightly more comfortable than the M4. I have about 10 negative points with the M4 compared to maybe 1 or 2 good points and I'm a Sennheiser fan. I'm very disappointed with the new M4. The build quality is a joke also. The hinges creak like I've never heard from a new headphone whenever slightly moving the head and the sound just goes distant when slightly pushing on the outer side and then releasing. Imo they're worth no more than 50 bucks.

I can't imagine anything else being much better or similar.

The user experience bit has been a challenge with Mometums for sometime now. When they work well they create magic but there are just too many ifs and buts with them. In the war between 'tech' bros and 'sound' companies, the tech guys are winning on the back of overall better experience. The sound guys really need to level up to win this.

Went from a bunch of Beats Studios 2.0 and 3.0 to my current xm4s. Not happy with the smaller driver on the xm5 since I seen too many reviews mentioning the bass lacking even more compared to the xm4 and big time compared to the xm3. Momentum 4s look tempting but so do the AirPods Max

Personally, the biggest issue I've had with Sony XM4's is the build quality. 1 year after purchase, the ANC on right-side failed, repaired under warranty. 2 years after purchase, the right-side ANC failed again but I was able to somehow fix it by opening the earcup and fiddling with the feedback mic. 2.5 years after purchase, ANC on left-side failed and cannot seem to fix it. So, that's 2.5 years of use from 350€ headphones....

Great video, I’ve had XM4 since their release for commuting and work and am considering upgrading. One feature that was not mentioned, and is the reason I wouldn’t buy Sony headphones again, is a physical or touch activated mic mute button, which the Momentum 4 does have and for work use is a must seeing as wireless headphone that require me to be at my computer to toggle the mic mute is nothing but an invisible tether.

Interesting review. Just goes to show how individual a preference of a housesound is. I cannot get along with the Momentum 4, but the XM4 suits me well. In general, the Sennheiser housesound has never been for me, being it HD600's, HD650's, or HD800s'.But Beyer, Sony, Ultrasone, Shure, AT and others work well. Not sure how Sennheiser does it, but their sound is simply sit too far in the drivers - same issue with AKG. Out of all my collection, my XM4's are definitely my go-to over-ear wireless, especially because wireless is just not where you go for high end audiophile sound - so the sound needs to be fun, lively and easy to listen to.

I just bought the M4. Sound is very objective so what might sound good to me might not sound good to others. I’m an aspiring music composer and write music for orchestra through digital audio interface. I also listen to lots of music and genres everyday. I tried numerous headphones and I have to say that M4 was an absolute excitement to hear. Clarity and instrument separation and the clear bass for it’s price is remarkable. Not to make this long and answer your question. I kind of have a big head 😂 and I also wear glasses but with all that I’m comfortable with the M4s. I believe that the updates have fixed a lot of system issues as well because after 2 weeks of ownership now I haven’t had the issues that I’ve had seen on many reviews. The only thing that bugs me but I’d totally let it pass because of the great sound is just by a small readjustment it pauses my music. Sorry for the long reply. All the best 🙏

heyy, in this case from my understanding, it reallyy is a dead fight between Sennheiser and Sony in the Noise-Cancelling Headphones category. What he means is that if we only consider the sound quality of Sony as a headphone in general, there are better ones!:) And best headphones, many a time is subjective. depends on the type of music u listen tp=, or if ure watching shows on it. and then it depends on ur budget, and the device u r playing it on. from what i know, sonhy is the BEST all-rounder! to me, im not the biggest fan of its sound because it sounds a little to warm. I prefer the sound of pxc550 ii as it is more neutral and i like the sound stage of it (note that here, im still comparing between 2 ANC headphones specifically). Hope this helps!

Hello Gym Caddy , For the last several months I tried dozens of true wireless earbuds but I finally gave up because none couldn't fit me ear. The last pair I owned was the sennheiser mtw3 and I loved the sound and bass. To me bass is very important as well as the quality of the sound. So I'm going back to the Headphones market , I already have the sony xb-900 that I bought 3 years ago. Now that we are in 2023 do you recommend upgrading to a new pair with better bass and clarity for around 200-300$ or you think nothing can beat the sony xb-900 at that price point ? Love your channel ! Thanks!

If you're seriously suggesting that either of those will be superior to the Airpod Pro 2's in terms of not picking up background noise that the other end is hearing, I think you are simply not talking out of experience. My Airpods are FAR superior to any of my Sony products when it comes to this.

Bought the special edition momentum 4 (copper) recently. i have not encountered any "bugs" that you have mentioned. I don't own either the xm4 or xm5 so i cant directly compare to it. As mentioned the comfort is not the best for me either but its not like its unbearable. But they do sound good and battery life is amazing. Just those 2 reasons are y i preferred these. I did have audio cut in and out issue on Spotify but no other apps had any issues like KZbin so maybe a problem of Spotify. Also rarely there are some sound artifacts here and there like a small popping or jittery/dostorty sound that lasts for an instant, i don't know that normal or not for wireless headphones. I wasn't amassed by the anc, its just okay imo and i don't really care about anc in the first place, i wish i could turn it off.

Xm5 is the best for everyday users. I was on the highway in the back with the window open on a windy day and my sister thought I was talking to her in a my condo. The microphones are levels above the momentum 4 and xm4. I noticed with the momentum 4s that you literally have to take the headphones off to use your phone to talk because the sound quality is horrendous and the same goes for the xm4. If your looking for better sound and slightly less bass with better noise cancellation and 8 mic’s go for the Xm5’s they are literally perfect

I am a bit dissapointed but is still acceptable to keep them because of sound and battery.
