Typical price, checked Sep 2026. Sennheiser's US store listed $299.95; Amazon listed $249.95. The Momentum 5 has since launched at $399.95.

Why people like it

  • Best sound of the mainstream ANC sets according to several people; tuning is good enough that one owner never touched the EQ
  • Around 60 hours of battery
  • Better fit and finish than the Bose equivalent

What owners complain about

  • Swipe controls are unintuitive
  • Auto-pause and adaptive ANC did not work for one owner
  • Noise cancelling is a step behind Sony and Bose; no mic-plus-audio over USB
  • One AudioKarma member returned his for too much mid-bass

Where opinions split: Sound-first people pick this over Sony and Bose; noise-cancelling-first people do not.
