The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95, as a high-end option, promises superior craftsmanship, comfort, and audio quality best suited for high-fidelity music listening, air travel, and use in quiet environments with its excellent active noise cancelling. Despite its higher cost, it's tuned for those preferring durability and high-end finishes. The Sennheiser Momentum 4, on the other hand, offers great comfort, sound quality, and significantly better battery life at a lower price, making it a compelling choice for varied listening such as music, TV, and audio for calls and meetings. While both have similar build and control quality, the Sennheiser lacks a foldable design for enhanced portability but is optimized for longer use sessions. Give Feedback

Christian Thomas | January 2023
"If you're looking for a slightly more affordable set of ANC headphones in comparison to the Bose or Sony offerings: the Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless is not a bad way to go. While its ANC is technically behind the other top-tier headphones, its sound quality is ahead of the pack—as is its battery life. Not bad for $350 USD."
