For an immersive listening experience with enhanced comfort for long durations, the Sennheiser Momentum 4 over-ear headphones are the better choice, and they offer noise cancellation along with superior battery life. However, their higher price reflects their premium features. If convenience and portability are your priorities, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 2 earbuds, being less expensive, provide good sound quality, a discrete in-ear design, and active noise cancellation. The earbuds have a shorter battery life and less powerful sound but are more suitable for active lifestyles or if you prefer not wearing bulkier over-ear headphones. Give Feedback

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."

"They are more comfortable and nicer to use than their predecessors, battery life is better and noise-cancelling is now included as part of the package. They’re easy to live with and you could happily listen to them for hours on end without reaching for the pause button. If your budget allows, your ears will be handsomely rewarded."
