Sennheiser may have taken its time to get this sequel to 2019's Momentum 3 out but it's easy to see why. The Momentum 4 Wireless completely refresh and reinvent the series with upgraded performance and the very latest features.

A major design refresh is always going to be a risk, but the Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless pull it off. Ditching the bulky metal bars for a smooth plastic hinge, they look smart and sophisticated, even if they do blend in more with the other premium cans on the market from the likes of Bose and Sony.

We were pleased with how they looked: the matte plastic covers the whole outside of the earcup, and blends perfectly with the ear cushions on the inside. The padded headband is covered in a woven mesh fabric along the top, with a discreet silver metal Sennheiser logo on either end. Everything about them makes them look both simple and elegant but they still feel well made and sturdy.
