Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless Headphones Review
These closed-back headphones are an excellent option for those who wish to save money on high-quality headphones. They don't have the same expansive and immersive soundstage as open-back headphones but they do offer high-quality audio.
These wireless headphones are comfortable and provide an excellent level of ANC. The headphones come with a companion app that includes EQ presets, as well as a replaceable coiled cord.
HD 600
This classic pair of open-back headphones from Sennheiser is among the best in its price range. They are comfortable, provide great sound, and are removable parts. They have a large soundstage that accurately depicts instruments and vocals, but can be lacking in bass for certain. Some listeners might find their slightly bright sound annoying.
The HD 600 is a lightweight headphone that is extremely durable and comfortable. Its construction uses a combination of metal, plastic, and velour. Its headband is padded with foam, and it is able to be secured with a light pressure on the ears. The ears can be adjusted to fit larger heads. The cable can be removed and replaced with a more long one if necessary.
These headphones require an amplifier to work effectively. The amplifier helps help to balance and smooth out the frequencies and reduce distortion. It is also important to use an audiophile headphone stand to prevent them from getting damaged by foreign objects. The headphone stand can also keep the cord from getting in the way which is a great option considering it's quite lengthy.
Sennheiser HD 600 headphones are excellent for listening to neutral music, and they provide an accurate reproduction of detail in high-resolution music. They have a wide soundstage, and their open design makes them ideal for home audio systems. The HD 600s work with CDs, vinyl and digital files. They also have an excellent frequency response, and their neodymium magnets deliver superior sound.
The sole reason why the HD 600s aren't 10/10 is that they can be a little too bright for some listeners. Nonetheless, they are one of the most loved and highly recommended headphones by reviewers. This pair of headphones is a great option for those looking to upgrade their headphones that come with their portable electronic. The cost is a bit high, but it's well worth it due to the quality. The HD 600s are an excellent investment for audiophiles. They are also good for those who love classical music since they are able to accurately reproduce the music.
HD 650
The HD 650 is an open-back headphones made for audiophiles. They have a very neutral response, allowing listeners to be able to hear the full range of the music without being overpowered by bass or other frequencies. They are an excellent choice for mixing engineers that need to hear everything in their mixes and wish to avoid the fatigue that comes from listening to headphones that have an emphasis on particular frequencies. The HD 650 headphones are also above average in terms of consistency that means they sound the same regardless of where you wear them or how you position them. However, they are not as consistent in the treble frequency range and, depending on the way you wear them and your ear shape you may hear up to 6dB of variance.
The ear pads and headband are made of a soft and comfortable material that makes the HD 650s suitable for long periods of time. The headband is padded with a good amount of cushioning to ensure that it doesn't put pressure too much on your ears. the large elliptical earcups fit comfortably around any shape of ear. The ear pads offer plenty of room for air to circulate, helping keep your ears from becoming hot when you listen for long periods of time. The headphone weighs 269 grams without cable, so it is light enough to be worn for a long period of time.
These headphones sport an elegant design and are made of high-quality materials. The ear pads and headband are made of soft resilient velour and foam which makes them comfortable even after long listening sessions. They also include a detachable cord that is constructed from highly-conductive OFC copper with low handling noise and structure-borne sound sensitivity which means you can use them with top-quality mobile devices as well as stationary hi-fi equipment.
The HD 650 headphones are a great pair. Although there are headphones with better specs, their quality construction and exceptional audio performance makes them a great option for those who love music in an uncolored, pure way. They're like a painting you may not be a fan of each color that the artist used, but you can still admire the whole picture for its beauty.
MOMENTUM
The MOMENTUM series of headphones from Sennheiser is one of the company's most popular active noise-cancelling (ANC) headphones. With a strong track record and a price point and a reasonable price, the MOMENTUM 4 Wireless headphones face tough competition from the latest offerings from Bose, Sony, and Apple but they have plenty of features that warrant your consideration if you're in the market for ANC headphones.
The ear cups come with quite a lot of padding and are designed to sit comfortably on your ears. The top of the band, which goes around your neck, is encased in soft leatherette. The band is flexible enough to accommodate glasses. I found it comfortable for a long time.
The MOMENTUM Wireless is a balanced headphone, unlike some ANC headphones that emphasize the bass or highs. That's a good thing, because it offers an even representation of the music and speech you listen to. They do tend to increase lower frequencies, but this is a standard feature of headphones made for commuters where outside noise can interfere with low-level speech and music.
Like other top performers in the ANC category, the MOMENTUM 4 Wireless Noise Reduction is solid. It's not as great as our top ANC headphones however it's very close. You can also delay projects by two clicks until the next quarter which makes them a great choice for school or work.
It is possible to connect the MOMENTUM 4 Wireless to any device using Bluetooth and you can choose to use SBC, AAC, aptX, or aptX HD codecs. The 3.5mm headphone's jack can be used to listen to music sources without Bluetooth support.
The MOMENTUM 4 Wireless has an array of microphones that lets you make and receive calls. over ear headphones does a decent job however it's not going to give the highest quality audio for phone conversations. The microphone is still better than the ones found on many entry-level headphones.
