Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless

Ranked #15 of 31: 46 people recommend it and 60 say they own it. Most repeated praise: Best sound of the mainstream ANC sets according to several people; tuning is good enough that one owner never touched the EQ. Most repeated complaint: Swipe controls are unintuitive.

Recommended to commuters who care about sound quality and battery more than the very best noise cancelling.
