It is probably unfair to pick on Sennheiser, but if there was one thing that I really disliked about the MOMENTUM 4 wireless headphones when they launched in 2022 was the extremely drab industrial design.
The battery performance, sound quality, and call quality were all equal or superior to the Sony and Bose models that we also reviewed, so there is no question that they make a compelling case for themselves in that regard.
You can read our review here to learn more about these excellent wireless headphones, but I still feel that the color options were boring and the industrial design rather uninspired especially when you compare them to the Apple AirPods Max, Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2, and Master & Dynamic MW75 ANC Wireless Headphones.
Someone at Sennheiser got the message and we’re excited that they have decided to release two new colorways that look a lot more sophisticated and polished for under $400 USD.
Since its launch, the traveler-friendly MOMENTUM 4 Wireless has found a groove not only in the skies, but in busy offices, commutes, households, and backpacks too—making them an audio enthusiasts’ dream for work or play.
Now, Sennheiser is doubling the color choices available with two new variants to complement the current matte black/charcoal and white/stone finishes.
Echoing the timeless hue of deep-blue jeans, the inky “Denim” colorway blends understated class with the perfect amount of casual cool. Contrasting stone-colored padding underscores the familiar touch of the fabric-coated headband surface, which can also be found on the protective cases of the entire MOMENTUM series.
The “Black Copper” variant draws lineage from the metallic accents on the instant-classic HD 660S2 audiophile headphone, launched earlier in 2023. Both the “S” badge and earcup contour rings tastefully highlight the series’ premium design and audio heritage no matter where you take them.
As with all MOMENTUM 4 Wireless models, the new color choices offer supple ear and headband cushioning to pair all-day comfort with class-leading 60-hour battery life per charge.
Both styles feature the series’ renowned Adaptive Noise Cancellation technology, Bluetooth 5.2 and aptX Adaptive support, and matching deluxe travel cases for storing the included USB and audio cables.
All MOMENTUM 4 Wireless models feature advanced performance and customization options using the free Smart Control App (iOS App Store and Google Play) such as high-resolution audio mode, Sound Personalization, 5-band EQ and location-based Sound Zones.
Pricing & Availability
The “Black Copper” MOMENTUM 4 Wireless colorway will begin shipping on August 31, 2023 for $399.95 USD.
The “Denim” edition will begin shipping mid-October 2023 for the same price.
The original models in black or white are now on sale for $260 at Amazon.
