Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 4

If you care more about sound than marketing and want earbuds that make streaming services and hi‑res-capable codecs actually sound detailed, these are built for you — everyday listeners who prioritise musical accuracy, long battery life and codec flexibility will find a lot to like. The MOMENTUM True Wireless 4 brings modern wireless features (Bluetooth 5.4, Auracast support and aptX/aptX Adaptive/LC3) and a Sennheiser‑tuned profile aimed at clear, musical playback rather than artificial bass boosts. ## What makes it worth it You get class-leading, tunable sound thanks to the Qualcomm S5 Sound Gen 2 platform and broad codec support, which reviewers consistently praise for clarity and detail; battery life is genuinely long for true wireless buds — about 7.5–8 hours per charge and up to 30 hours with the case, plus Qi wireless charging and an 8‑minute fast top‑up that yields roughly an hour of playback. Connectivity is modern too: Bluetooth 5.4, multipoint switching and Auracast readiness mean the earbuds are future-proofed for better streaming and easier device switching. ## Where it falls short The adaptive ANC works and removes a lot of low‑ and mid‑range noise, but testers (RTINGS, TechRadar, PCMag) find it not quite as effective as Sony’s WF-1000XM5 or Bose’s QuietComfort II, and call/microphone performance is noticeably behind the competition — voices can sound distant in noisy environments. If you want the best-sounding, code-friendly true wireless earbuds for music and long days away from a charger, buy these; if you need top-tier noise cancelling or flawless call quality for constant work calls, look at Sony or Bose instead.
