Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones review: less cool, more comfortable - The Verge

Sennheiser’s Momentum 4 Wireless headphones have a radically different design than past models, leaving behind the retro style in favor of improved comfort. They offer similar sound as their predecessors, better noise cancellation, and up to 60 hours of battery life.

It’s fair to say this isn’t what I expected. Sennheiser’s new Momentum 4 Wireless headphones mark a dramatic pivot away from the retro stylings of previous models. The genuine leather headband and stainless steel ear cup sliders that came to represent the Momentum line are now history. Instead, the $349.95 fourth-generation headphones take an unmistakable design turn into Sony and Bose territory, with a lightweight build that puts greater emphasis on extended comfort.

Additionally, nearly all of the physical buttons have been removed in favor of tap and swipe gesture controls. And while some of the company’s fans will be repulsed by what I can only describe as a dull, uninspired look, there are at least some reasons to be excited about Sennheiser’s latest cans. Topping that list are improved noise cancellation and a remarkable 60 hours of promised battery life.
