Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless Headphones Review
If you're looking for high-quality headphones for less then look no further than these closed-back models. Their soundstage isn't as spacious and as immersive as open-back models but they still deliver excellent audio quality with a high level of fidelity.
These wireless headphones are comfortable and have a good level of ANC. The headphones come with a companion app which includes EQ presets, and an adjustable coiled cord.
HD 600
This classic pair of open-back headphones from Sennheiser is one of the top models in its price range. They have good audio quality, comfort and re-usable components. They have a wide soundstage which accurately portrays vocals and instruments, but some may find that they lack bass. Some listeners may find their slightly bright tone irritating.
The HD 600 is an extremely durable and comfortable headphone. Its construction is a mix of metal, plastic and Velour. Its headband is padded with foam, and it can be easily secured to the ears. The ears can be adjusted to fit larger heads. The cable is detachable and can be replaced with a larger version if required.
These headphones need an amplifier in order to function properly. The amplifier helps balance and smooth out the frequencies and reduce distortion. Use an audiophile headphones stand to keep the headphones from being damaged by foreign objects. The headphone stand will also keep the cord out of the way, which is a good thing considering that it's quite long.
The Sennheiser HD600 headphones work great for neutral listening and offer accurate reproduction of high-resolution audio. The spacious design and open soundstage make them ideal for home audio systems. The HD 600s are compatible with a variety of audio sources like CDs, vinyl and digital files. They also have an outstanding frequency response, and their neodymium magnets provide excellent audio.
The only reason that the HD 600s didn't get an 8.5/10 was due to the fact that they're a bit bright for some people. They're among the most highly-rated and well-loved headphones rated by reviewers. The headphones is a great upgrade for anyone who wishes to replace the standard headphones that came with their portable electronic devices. The price is a bit high, but the quality of the headphones is worth it. The HD 600s are a great investment for anyone who is an audiophile. They are also a good option for those who wish to listen to classical music, because they can reproduce the specifics of the performance accurately.
HD 650
The HD 650 are an open-back headphone designed for audiophiles. They have a very neutral sound, allowing the listener to hear all the details of the music without being overpowered by bass or other frequencies. Mixing engineers will find them a great option for those who want to hear every nuance in their mixes without being fatigued by headphones that place the weight on certain frequencies. The HD 650 headphones are also above average in terms of consistency that means they sound the same regardless of where you wear them or how you position them. They are less consistent in the treble, and you can hear up to 6dB difference depending on your ear shape and how you wear them.
The headband and ear pads are made of soft and comfortable materials that makes the HD 650s comfortable for long sessions. The headband is cushioned, which prevents it from putting too much pressure on your ears. The large elliptical cups can fit comfortably around any ear size. The earpads have plenty of space for air to circulate, which can help keep your ears from becoming hot during long listening sessions. The headphone is lightweight at 269 grams even without the cable. It can be worn for long periods of time.
These headphones are built with a professional design, and the quality of their construction is exemplary. The earpads and headband are made from soft foam, durable velour and abrasion resistant velour, making them comfortable even after long listening sessions. They also come with a detachable cable that is made from high-conductive OFC copper that has low handling noise and sensitivity to structure-borne sound, so you can use them with top-quality mobile devices as well as stationary hi-fi equipment.
The HD 650 headphones are a fantastic pair. While there are headphones with more impressive specs, their superior construction and outstanding audio quality make them an excellent choice for anyone who loves music in pure, uncolored manner. It is possible that you don't appreciate every color used by the artist, but you can appreciate the beauty of the overall design.
MOMENTUM
Sennheiser's MOMENTUM headphones are among its most well-loved active noise cancellation (ANC) headphone models. With a proven track record and a price that is affordable, the MOMENTUM 4 Wireless headphones are up against tough competition from the latest offerings from Bose, Sony, and Apple, but they offer plenty to make them worth your consideration if you're on the market for ANC headphones.
The earcups are padded and designed to comfortably fit around your ears. The top of the band, that wraps around your neck, is covered in soft leatherette. I found it comfortable to wear for a long time, and the band is flexible enough to allow glasses to fit and glasses, which is a nice touch.
Contrary to other ANC headphones like the MOMENTUM 4 Wireless has a balanced sound rather than focusing too much on highs or bass. That's a good thing, because it offers an accurate representation of the headphones for running music and speech you listen to. They can boost lower frequencies however this is a feature of headphones made for commuters, where noise can interfere with low-level speech and music.
Like other frontrunners in the ANC category like other top contenders in the ANC category, the MOMENTUM 4 Wireless Noise Reduction is solid. It's not as impressive as our top ANC headphones, but it's close. You can also delay projects by two clicks to the next quarter, making them an excellent choice for school or work.
The MOMENTUM Wireless can be connected to a Bluetooth device, and you can select from SBC, AAC or aptX codecs. The 3.5mm jack on the headphone can be used to listen to sources without Bluetooth support.
The MOMENTUM 4 Wireless features a microphone array that lets you make and receive phone calls. The microphone is adequate but not the best for conversations on the phone. The microphone is still better than the ones on most entry-level headphones.
