For a detailed and open soundstage, the HD600 offers an excellent experience, making it a great choice for music and TV at home, but due to its open-back design and long cable, it's not portable or suitable for noisy environments, and poor mic quality limits its use for calls. The Momentum True Wireless 4, on the other hand, provides very good sound quality with the convenience of wireless portability, active noise cancelling for travel, sweatproof certification for exercise, and better microphone quality for calls, but may not match the expansive soundstage of the HD600. Choose the HD600 for audiophile listening in quiet spaces, or the Momentum True Wireless 4 for versatile use in various environments, including better phone call quality and features tailored to mobile users, like app customization.

Andy Madden | January 2024
"It’s fair to say our brief time with the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 was a generally positive one. Comfort levels seem similar to what we have experienced before and the general flavour of sound was to our liking although we need to get a pair in to test and put up against the big rivals at the money from Bose and Sony. It could be an interesting contest."
