Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless Headphones Review
If you're looking for great-sounding headphones for a reasonable price then consider these closed-back models. They don't offer the same large and aural experience as open-back ones but they do offer high-quality audio.
These wireless over-ear headphones are comfortable and provide an excellent level of ANC. The headphones come with a companion application that includes EQ presets, and a replaceable coiled cord.
HD 600
This classic pair open-back Sennheiser headphones is one of best headphones in the price range. They are comfortable, offer good sound, and have replacement parts. They have a huge soundstage that accurately portrays instruments and vocals however some might feel that they lack bass. They also have a bright sound that can cause some people to be uncomfortable.
The HD 600 is an extremely durable and comfortable headphone. Its design is made up of plastic, metal, and Velour. The headband is padded with foam, and it can be easily secured to the ears. The earcups are large which means they are able to accommodate larger heads. The cable can be removed and replaced with a new one if required.
The headphones require an amplifier in order to function effectively. The amplifier will help to balance and smooth out the frequencies and reduce distortion. It is also essential to use an audiophile headphone stand to keep them from getting damaged by foreign objects. The headphone stand keeps the cord out of the way. This is good because it's long.
Sennheiser HD 600 headphones are great for neutral listening and provide an accurate reproduction of the detail in high-resolution music. The open design and large soundstage make them ideal for home audio systems. The HD 600s work with CDs, vinyl and digital files. They also have an outstanding frequency response and their neodymium magnets produce excellent sound.
The only reason that the HD 600s didn't score an 8.5/10 was due to the fact that they're a bit bright for some. They are still one of the most highly rated and popular headphones by reviewers. The pair of headphones is a good option for those looking to upgrade from the standard headphones that come with portable electronics. The cost is a bit expensive, but it's worth it for the quality. The HD 600s make the perfect investment for audiophiles. They are also great for those who love classical music since they are able to accurately reproduce the music.
HD 650
The HD 650 is an open-back headphones made for audiophiles. They have a neutral sound that allows the listener to enjoy the full range of details in the music without being overwhelmed by bass or other frequency. They are an excellent choice for mixing engineers that need to hear everything in their mixes and want to avoid the fatigue that comes from listening to headphones that have a strong emphasis on certain frequencies. The HD 650 headphones are also above average in terms of frequency consistency which means that they sound the same regardless of where you wear them or the way you place them. They're less uniform in the treble and you may hear a difference of up to 6 decibels depending on your ear shape and how you wear them.
The ear pads and headband are made of a soft and comfortable material that makes the HD 650s comfortable for long sessions. The headband is cushioned to keep it from exerting too much pressure on your ears. The large elliptical cups can will comfortably fit any size ear. The ear pads allow for ample air circulation, which helps prevent your ears from getting hot during long listening sessions. webpage is lightweight at 269 grams, even without the cable. It can be worn for long periods of time.
The headphones feature an elegant design and are made from top-quality materials. The earpads and the headband are made of soft, tough foam and velour. This makes them comfortable, even after prolonged listening sessions. The headphones come with a removable OFC copper cable with low handling noise, structure-borne sound sensitivity and low handling noise. You can use it with top-quality stationary hi-fi equipment and mobile devices.
The HD 650 headphones are a excellent pair. Although there are headphones that have more impressive specifications, their high-quality construction and outstanding audio quality make them an excellent choice for anyone who loves music in pure, uncolored manner. You may not appreciate every color used by the artist, but you can enjoy the beauty of the overall picture.
MOMENTUM
The MOMENTUM range of headphones by Sennheiser is among the most well-known active noise cancelling (ANC) headphones. The MOMENTUM 4 Wireless headphones are a great option for ANC headphones. They have a great track record and a low cost.
The ear cups have a fairly substantial amount of padding and are designed to sit comfortably around your ears. The top of the band that wraps around your neck, is encased in soft leatherette. The band is flexible enough to fit glasses. I found it comfortable for hours.
The MOMENTUM Wireless is a balanced headphone, unlike other ANC headphones that over-emphasize bass or highs. This is a positive thing because it gives you an even sound that is a better representation of speech and music. They do veer slightly into the territory of boosts at lower frequencies however, this is a common feature of headphones targeted at commuters, in which the 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 however it's very close. You can also defer projects by two clicks until the next quarter, making them an excellent choice for school or work.
You can connect the MOMENTUM 4 Wireless to any device using Bluetooth and can choose to use SBC AAC, aptX or aptX HD codecs. The 3.5mm connector on the headphone can be used to listen to audio sources without Bluetooth support.
The MOMENTUM Wireless comes with a microphone array which allows you to make and take calls. The microphone does a decent job however it's not going provide the highest quality audio for phone conversations. The microphone is still better than the ones found on many entry-level headphones.
