Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless Headphones Review
If you're looking for great-sounding headphones at a lower cost take a look at these closed-back models. They don't offer the same immersive and spacious soundstage as open-back models however they still provide excellent audio quality.
These wireless headphones for over-ear use are comfortable for long listening sessions and provide an excellent level of ANC. They also offer a companion app with EQ presets as well as a replacement coiled cable.
HD 600
This classic pair of headphones with an open back from Sennheiser is among the top models in its price range. They offer good sound quality, comfort, and re-usable components. They have a large soundstage that accurately reflects vocals and instruments, however they can be lacking in bass for certain. They also have a slightly bright tone that can be bothersome for some listeners.
The HD 600 is a lightweight headphone that is durable and comfortable. The HD 600 is made of a mixture of metal, plastic and velour. The headband is cushioned with foam and is secured with a slight clamp to the ear. The earcups are large and can easily fit larger heads. Its cable is detachable, and it can be replaced with a larger version should it be needed.
The headphones require an amplifier to work correctly. The amplifier helps ensure that the headphones are balanced and smooth frequencies and reduce distortion. Use an audiophile headset stand to guard them from being damaged by foreign objects. The headphone stand will keep the cord out of the way, which is a good thing since it's quite long.
headphones shops are perfect for listening in neutral environments and provide an accurate reproduction of details in high-resolution music. They have a wide soundstage, and their open design makes them ideal for home audio systems. The HD 600s can be used with a variety of audio sources such as CDs, vinyl and digital files. They have a high frequency response, and their neodymium magnetic driver produces the best sound.
The sole reason why the HD 600s don't score 10/10 is that they may be too bright for some listeners. Nonetheless, they are one of the most popular and recommended headphones by reviewers. These headphones is an excellent upgrade for anyone who wants to replace the standard headphones that came with their portable electronic devices. The price is a bit high, but it's worth it due to the quality. The HD 600s make the perfect investment for audiophiles. They are also ideal for those who love classical music as they accurately reproduce the performance.
HD 650
The HD 650 are an open-back headphones designed for audiophiles. They have a neutral response, which allows the listener to get all the details of the music without being overwhelmed by bass or other frequencies. Mixing engineers will find them to be a great option for those who wish to hear all the details in their mixes without being fatigued by headphones that place the focus on certain frequencies. The HD 650 headphones are also above average in terms of frequency consistency that means they sound the same regardless of the place you put them on or how you position them. They are less uniform in the treble and you can hear a difference of up to 6 decibels depending on your ear shape and how you wear them.
The earpads and headband are made of soft and comfortable materials which makes the HD 650s suitable for long periods of time. The headband is cushioned to keep it from exerting too much pressure on your ears. The large elliptical cups also are able to comfortably fit around any ear size. The ear pads have ample room for air to circulate, which can help prevent your ears from getting hot during long listening sessions. The headphone weighs 269g without the cable, so it is light enough to wear for long periods of time.
The headphones feature a professional design and are made from high-quality materials. The headband and earpads are made of soft, tough velour, and foam. This 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, so you can use them with high-quality mobile devices as well as stationary hi-fi equipment.
The HD 650 is an amazing pair of headphones, and even though there are headphones that boast more impressive specs, the quality of their construction and outstanding audio quality make them an excellent choice for anyone who wants to listen to music with the pure, uncolored soundscape. You might not like every color used by the artist, but you still enjoy the beauty of the overall picture.
MOMENTUM
The MOMENTUM series of headphones from Sennheiser is among the company's most popular active noise cancelling (ANC) headphone lines. With a strong track record and a competitive price, the MOMENTUM 4 Wireless headphones face tough competition from the latest offerings from Bose, Sony, and Apple, but they offer plenty of features that warrant your consideration if you're on the market for ANC headphones.
The earcups are padded and designed to sit comfortably around your ears. They also have soft leatherette material on the top of the band that wraps around your head. I found it comfortable to wear for hours, and the band has enough give to accommodate glasses, which is a nice addition.
The MOMENTUM Wireless is a balanced headphone, unlike other ANC headphones that over-emphasize the bass or highs. This is a great thing because it gives you an accurate representation of music and speech. They can boost lower frequencies, but this is a common feature of headphones made for commuters where outside noise can compete with low-level music and speech.
Like other frontrunners in the ANC category, the MOMENTUM 4 Wireless' noise reduction is very solid. It's not as great as our top ANC headphones, but it's close. You can also delay projects by two clicks to the next quarter making them a great choice for school or work.
The MOMENTUM Wireless can be connected to an Bluetooth device, and you can select from SBC AAC, aptX, or aAC codecs. You can also use the headphone's 3.5mm jack to listen to sources that don't have Bluetooth support.
The MOMENTUM Wireless comes with a microphone array that allows you to make and take calls. The microphone is decent however it's not going to give the highest quality audio for phone conversations. The microphone is still superior to the ones on most entry-level headphones.
