high-end audio products. If you prioritize long battery life and are interested in over-ear comfort for extended listening sessions, the Momentum 4 is well-suited for you, especially if you need active noise cancelling for environments like air travel. However, it is less portable compared to earbuds. On the other hand, the Momentum Sport offers a more secure fit for physical activities, with features like sweat and dustproof certification, which the Momentum 4 lacks. The Sports are also tailored for fitness enthusiasts with added health tracking and are more suitable for calls and meetings due to their form factor. Both offer excellent sound quality and low latency, but the Momentum 4 is recommended for immersive TV and gaming experiences due to their soundstage. Consider your primary activities — if they involve fitness and mobility, the Momentum Sport may be better; if they are more stationary and involve critical listening, the Momentum 4 would be preferable.

Sound Guys
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."

Amelia Schwanke | January 2024
"We hadn't been expecting a new pair of dedicated sports buds but the surprise was nonetheless exciting. I got to try out the new buds at CES 2024 and while they have stayed true to delivering that "signature" Sennheiser sound, with a wide soundstage and strong sense of detail, it’s the extra wearable tech inside them that stands out to me against the best workout headphones."
