Question 1

How does the MOMENTUM 4 handle wind noise outdoors?

Accepted Answer

Very well. Each earcup has two microphones and the outer mesh protects against wind. Multiple users report that walking on a windy day doesn't cause microphonic noise or wind buffeting in the earcups, and call audio remains clear. The transparency mode also reduces wind noise automatically.

Question 2

Does the MOMENTUM 4 support wireless charging?

Accepted Answer

No, it does not. Charging is via USB-C only. A quick 10-minute charge gives about 6 hours of playback (we tested and got 6.5). There is no Qi wireless charging, which is a minor drawback for a premium headphone in 2024.

Question 3

How do I turn off the MOMENTUM 4? I don't see a power button.

Accepted Answer

There's a multifunction button on the left earcup, but to power off, you press the button on the right earcup (the one with the Sennheiser logo) for a longer press. Actually, the MOMENTUM 4 has a dedicated power button on the right earcup. Press and hold for 2 seconds to switch on/off. The headphones also have an auto-off timer that you can set in the app (15 min to 2 hours).

Question 4

What codecs does the MOMENTUM 4 support on Android?

Accepted Answer

It supports AptX Adaptive (which also includes AptX HD), AptX, AAC, and SBC. With compatible Android phones, you'll get high-quality lossy playback. On iPhone, it uses AAC. There is no LDAC support, unlike Sony headphones, which might matter to some Android audiophiles.

Question 5

Can I use only the left earcup for mono listening?

Accepted Answer

No — the MOMENTUM 4 does not support using just one earcup independently. If you take the right earcup off, the headphones pause and the audio switches to the left. You cannot use the left side alone without both cups connected. This is a limitation compared to some Sony models.

Question 6

Is there a significant difference between the MOMENTUM 3 and MOMENTUM 4?

Accepted Answer

Huge difference. The MOMENTUM 4 has a completely new design (lighter, foldable flat), a fresh sound signature that is more neutral and less V-shaped than the M3's, and battery life jumped from 17 hours to 60 hours. ANC is also improved, though some reviewers prefer the M3's slightly warmer tuning.

Question 7

Are the earcups replaceable?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the earpads are user-replaceable using the included tool (a small flat tool that clips into the housing). Sennheiser sells replacements for about $40. The headband cushion is not replaceable, however, but it's covered under warranty for the first year.

Question 8

Does the MOMENTUM 4 work well for gaming on PC? Can I use it wired via USB?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the MOMENTUM 4 can be used wired via USB-C or the 3.5mm jack for PC gaming. Over USB-C, it shows up as a standard audio device and the built-in mic works. Bluetooth latency is typical of most headphones (around 100-150ms), so for serious gaming, a wired connection is recommended.
