Momentum 4 Wireless

Their almost year-old Momentum 4 lost sound in the left ear.

Found the Momentum 4's tuning consumer-grade; the DT 770 PRO felt like a huge upgrade.

Their Momentum 4 has far more bass than their DT 770 or DT 1990.

Almost replaced their Momentum 4 for better ANC, but a firmware update via Smart Control Plus made adaptive ANC noticeably better, on-head detection more reliable and added a multipoint toggle.

With 16 mm ear gauges, bought and returned the Momentum 4 because the cups pressed on their ears and hurt.

Bought the Momentum 4 at half price for on the go: fantastic sound for a wireless ANC closed-back and battery that lasts forever, but the clamp gets uncomfortable on their big head in long sessions.

“They sound fantastic for the type of headphone (wireless ANC closed back) and the battery lasts forever. I will say that the clamp is a bit uncomfortable for long wearing sessions in my massive noggin.”

Just got the Momentum 4 to replace WF-1000XM5 earbuds: wider soundstage, better isolation and a warmer sound, still a bit V-shaped at default settings.

“Comparing it to WF-1000XM5, you get a lot wider soundstage and better isolation. But WFs are in-ears so they can only go so far. Another thing would be the sound signature is wider and warmer.”
