Momentum 4 are the best in 2023 in wireless headphones. Nothing could beat it. To have a more balanced sound put eqaulizer to Flat Regarding Anc - Its nearly good as Xm4 but my home is silent and don’t wanna use Anc However I encountered a problem. It made my ears warm very fast. Sadly I didn’t find any earpad replacements on the internet as these earpads are glued to a plastic frame and comes out like what apple did with Airpods Max Sadly i had to return it. So if this didn’t made your ears warm. Go for it 💯 percent Hope Sennheiser will release velour or hybrid velour earpads replacement sooner or later. When that happens i will buy them again Sadly i had to settle with Audio Technica M50X-BT2
I dove deep into the headphone rabbit hole for these. I always check you out on sound related buys and without a doubt your review on these momentum 4's helped solidify my decision to pick them. And I couldn't be happier with one of the most accurate reviews and trying out the XM4 and XM5 myself. These were the right pick.
My only issue is the Momentums had an iconic look. I have the OGs and they're arguably still he best looking headphones in their price point. The 4 look like the run of the mill Sonys and Bose headphones.
Yup you hit the nail right on the head. They used to have good sound that rivaled other headphones but they also had looks that easily outdid other headphones now they just look so boring
@@jasonm9112 the thing is that the old momentums look kinda wierd and awkward in public due to the metal hinges. For me the new ones look more minimalistic and modern but again, FOR ME.
Ok this has changed my mind on which new headphones to get for the home. I was seriously thinking on the XM 5's over Air Pods Max and now I think I will look at these. Thanks for an awesome review as always Flossy and White Shoes !!!
Sony dropped the driver size to 30mm, smaller than the M4 version. The Sennheiser's have a 42mm driver. Hard to beat the bigger drivers in the bass category.
@@poisonpen26 Gen 4 is 40mm, gen 5 is 30mm. Look it up yourself and let me know what you learned. I wrote this comment to teach. It is up to you to learn or verify.
Was just thinking of getting some over ear headphones and rewatched your M5 review gonna go ahead and think it through after this cause I'd probably prefer the ANC of the M5s but im a bass man and double the battery life with a slight difference in ANC make the Sennheiser seem like a better deal to me, great job as always Floss
I’ve had the m5’s for 2 or 3 months. They are amazing, except for the way the anc auto adjusts to the amount of noise/the pressure. If you’re using them to work in, exercise, or walking down the sidewalk with cars driving by, they are SO ANNOYING. I love them, but I’m ready to throw them at the wall at this point, because of the auto adjusting anc.
@@phlooke Unfortunately no, there is no way to do it. Most people will argue with me about this, because they get adaptive sound control mixed up with ANC. With the adaptive sound control, you can program them to sense where you are (your gps coordinates) or your actions (sitting down, exercising, walking, etc) and will adjust the headphones to be in ANC mode, or the Bypass mode, or turned off. But when you have the ANC on, there is no adjustment to it. It's always in their AI driven ANC, and will auto adjust the level of noise cancelling depending on the sound outside of the headphones. So they'll be working great, then a car drives by, and they adjust the level of noise cancelling, then adjust again when the car is gone. This comes through as your ANC adjusting the sound level in a really loud, obnoxious way. They're wonderful if you just hang out in a controlled environment, inside. But anywhere else, it gets to be very annoying.
@@phlooke see the fact that we have to question turning off the anc is sad. Momentum’s have better sound quality which really is the most important thing. 60hour battery life helps.
Everytime I'm looking for a review on a product be it a headphone or phone...flossy has a review on it. I swear this man knows exactly what we're thinking
I have owned the Momentum 3s and PXC550ii - both are awesome. I was told by a Sennheiser rep that the Momentum 4 is a cross between the two. The Momentum 3 have superior sound, period - no contest. The PXC550ii is more comfortable - no contest. The touch pad on the PXC550ii is good for volume, play/pause, receive/hang up phone calls. All the other touch pad functions are frustrating to the point I just gave up on them. The Momentum 3 controls are buttons and work every time - I prefer this. I'm gonna stick with my Momentum 3's - which I think look awesome old skool. Love you, Floss!
The 3 and the 4 have the exact same speakers so there's NO way the 3 sounds "superior", they're gonna sound exactly the same just with a better battery.
I have to disagree about the look. The m4s look generic like ever other set of headphones out right now. The m3s had a retro classy look and was made of real leather and brush metal that looks and feels premium. I personally like the actual buttons too. That being said, 60 hrs battery life and better anc is a major upgrade. And the momentums sound incredible. I mainly use mine at home so I'll probably stick with the m3s for now at least. Luv your reviews btw!
I bought the XM5 yesterday. ANC is a beast, but I prefer audio quality above anything else. Wouldn't recommend anyone buy those for regular price. Should've listened when you said to buy these if you prefer audio quality. Deff learned my lesson lol
I think I've decided I might get these. $50 cheaper than the Sony XM5s. They focused on the sound quality first. I'll be using mine is mostly quiet office or at home while studying or playing games. I also like the fact I can plug them into a DAC via the audio cable or USB-C. Which is huge to me, because you'll get even better sound quality through the cables.
Don't forget the 60 houts of battery life. I'm trying to make up my mind between these and the MX5, but even though I do like the design, the full plastic body bothers me more than a bit.
Another great set of anc headphones that are on par if not better then xm5 are the new units from technics the eaha800 the anc is just like Sony the call quality is better and the sound is far superior the only thing is the app is not is good I would highly recommend them I just gave my employee of the month of pair and wow he was happy
This is the Bluetooth headphones I have been waiting on from Sennheiser.... I'm glad the battery life is better and they got rid of those wires sticking out of the momentum 3
coming back 4 months later. watched this when this was first posted, but got a little buzzed the other night and decided i wanted a new pair of cans. already have xm4's, and i love them, but beer is a helluva influence to buy shit you prob dont need. either way, bought these few days ago and while i love the xm4's, i love these even more. got em for 275 which persuaded me to get them over the xm5. no buyers remorse here. again, thanks floss.
@@paulatridies they are def not as comfortable, but not uncomfortable, or have as good anc as the sonys, but i think they sound way better. i listen to mostly rock, folky type stuff and some hip hop and handles those just fine. i would def recommend them.
@@captainsdead Thank you for your detailed answer, I live in a city that is lookalike Mordor, very noisy, that’s why ANC is my priority which leads me to Sony then.
When you say it has the Sennheiser Signature sound. That’s my go to. Looking for something to replace the Sony’s XM3. Seeing the comments regarding the Sony. That price hike. No go. To be honest I am digging the looks of the M4s as well. That fabric look, that clean design. Appreciate your review, am picking up a pair for myself.
For the people that think that this things are bassy, not exactly, the thing is that you hear bass in every song, frequencies that are not in other headphones even if they are called "Extra Bass" headphones, the Momentum 4 make every song sound COMPLETE, finally I don't have to boost the low on the EQ or mess with the clear bass slider, for the first time I don't need a lot of bass because my music sounds complete.
Maybe it's me but I prefer these to the 3's as they look less heavy and softer on the ears. Although the 4's do look like most generic headphones these days, but long as they sound and feel good on the head, that's what matters I guess. Great review from the god tier of reviewers Flossy Carter. Much respect from Ireland 🇮🇪 👏
Great video, floss! Been watching for a while now but never really commented before. You literally make my day and I thank you. Been sadly hit with covid recently and watching your videos bring a smile to my face. Thank you. :)
What up Floss, I subscribed to your channel about 2 months ago and let me say. I love your reviews and knowledge of electronics. Mainly headphones and earbuds. You're the reason I got the sennheiser momentum 3. Now, I'm gonna get the 4. Great job bro.
It's finally time to give rest to my old Momentum 3. Now time for new one although I prefer button than touch , it is alright because now it support 96khz music quality. Thank you floss for early review
Your review is spot on, I already owed the Sony XM5's and wasn't looking to change headphones but your reaction to the sound quality made me buy a pair. Wow!! the sound is incredible, ANC is still very good but XM5's phone calls are the best. Sound quality is everything to me and already sold my XM5's...thanks bruh.
I used my warranty on my xm4 they pinched my ears. Sound was meh. Got this on release Dat an no regrets. Love the sennhieser soound. Way better base then Sony too.
Floss! Some questions on the Momentum 4: • Is there a quick charge option like Sony's XM5? • Are the ear cups as deep as the XM5's? • How good is the mic on calls?
Last year he was saying the Momentum 3 was higher quality because of the metal and leather over the all plastic headphones. But now the Momentum 4's with all the plastic and fabric are more premium. Idk bout all dat. I'm sure the4's do sound better! But the Momentum 3's looked more premium than all the other plastic headphones.
You can always rely on Flossy's review. Great job bro. I still remember my first view is when Flossy reviewed the Ducati IPhone 5 casing. Bought it right away after watching the review. 😂
@@FlossyCarter time flies bro. 😂 8 years pass just like this. One thing never change that is I'm still relying on your review for my purchase decision. 👍👍
Floss, whats hapn and hope all is well. Peeped this video over week ago and after watching, site unseen, I returned just bought qc45s and ordered the M4s. You were spot on during your review; ANC is top notch, base is booming / smooth and the sound overall is a Major Major Major GO! Don't yack much on Ytube, but been rocking with you and spreading the word about you for 10+ years. Truly appreciate you and your unbiased raw reviews. Thanks Floss!
Literally just bought the WH-1000XM5's today, and wasn't sure if I'd be keeping them. I'm pretty tempted to return them and wait for these to drop; save $50 as well.
i'm a newbie and as i was looking for a headphone to buy, i was so ready to buy the sony xm4 because i watched every youtube video there are about over ear headphones and they all say sony xm4 is the best one out there. glad that i digged a little deeper and watched your video reviewing this one. already pre-ordered it and can't wait to try it out!!
I really like these headphones Just couldn't live with the connectivity issues Traded them in for some Sony fives Sony's work flawlessly The momentums Are not as refined they need to fix the bugs
Heads up for those watching later. The m4s do have multipoint connection now, up to 2 devices at once. Playing sound on one device will switch the sound to that device. Though I found it annoying because I was playing on my switch and everything my phone notification sounded it briefly switched to the phone then went back. Had to mute my phone.
Yeah I love your reviews and bluntness, and I know build is all about personal preference. I disagree with the looks of the 4's . They look cheaper than the 3's, although the stainless-steel retro look is probably more niche. I understand their decision. Let me know if the battery life is as stated, because that alone would be worth it to most. But you should look up the Alienware AW920H, they have the same general design. The freaking crying baby killed me bro! XD🤣
Great review man. I was sold on the Sony's (they are currently super sold out so don't have them yet), but man these guys may take the cake. I will need to find another video to really check the mic quality though, hoping to use these for the daily zoom meetings, Xm5's have been getting great mic reviews this year
I got the Sony 1000xm4 cause of Floss, I got the power beats pro because of Floss, and I got the beats fir pro because of Floss. Being a fan of Floss is NOT cheap!!! 😀😃🙂
My man floss thanks for the work you put in. I just wanted to ask you if you were going to do the new POCO phones. You know I can't buy a phone without the floss major go certification. Have a nice one.
Appreciate ya for a review! Got the Sennheiser HD4.50BT, they are great, but now I'm lookin forward to buying these 4's Have waited for a long time for these, since i havent appreciated the set of features 3's had, I just had no point in an upgrade. Since now Actually I had Momentum TW2's, they were great but im not really a fan of earbuds, soo 4's to go
A year late, but as always, I enjoy your thorough, in-depth analysis on devices, etc. I am pulling the trigger in the M-4s! How goes it, white shoes! 🤙
I hate Flossy's videos, every time I watch 'em I spend money 🤣 I got these on sale from Amazon for $220 bucks the other day and daiyum they are legit AF, thanks for another great review...now I'm watching the Momentum 4 earbud review 😱
Im geeking about these momentum 4s. I have the sony’s xm4 and i wore them everyday for 18 mnths til i killed the noise canceling mike. I was thinking of getting the new sony’s but you got me with this review, as I’m more about the music too.
Yo Floss I've lost track of how many of your vids I've watched and have come to a conclusion. They don't help me narrow down any damn choices cause I just wind up wanting every friggin thing you review lol. That being said I can't wait till you review the B&W PX7 S2's
@@FlossyCarter I finally got a chance to pit the Momentum 4 vs XM5. If you're interested at all I EQ'd the XM5 and they seemed to sound quite a bit better than the Senn to me at least. Clear Bass +3 400Hz at 0 1KHz at +6 2.5 KHz at +8 6.3 KHz at +5 16 KHz at +5 I know you stay real busy but if you wind up trying it out I'd love to hear what you think. Stay Flossy bro
Great review! I'm shopping for one or the other & have the following experience with owning Senn PX-550's vs both Sony XM3 and XM4's: Sonys don't sound as good as Senns & bass isn't as strong. Advantage: Senns. Senns ear cushions started tearing after a year & nothing can be done to fix them. Sonys are top quality. Advantage: Sony Battery longevity much better in the Sonys. Initial battery duration was great in both, but after 2yrs of ownership, daily use, Sonys still have at least 75% of their duration. Senns last about an hour. Advantage: Sony. The sound quality of Senns is that much better & I really want an excuse to buy them over the Sonys...but without a 2yr replacement warranty, I feel like I'm risking too much getting the Senns.
I agree with you man, the full plastic body is still dragging my mind back on the decision of picking the four. At the moment, I've reached the level of looking "great over hear metal headphones" 😂If the 3 didn't had the hanging wires I've already went for them.
I have the Moment 4 headphones and they are superb. I was going to buy the B&O H95 , but after listening to both headphones these sounded just as good (if not better) at a fraction of the cost.
Got my Sennheiser M4 today, great sound, high volume and bass, app that actually work, just great for me!! I wanted the B&O H95, great materials and design BUT so low volume and low bass, conectivity issues with the app. The perfect Headsets:Materials and design H95, Sound-M4 and ANC Sony M5, arent you agree?😊
Lol! Your sense of humor is over the top. I love it. Really useful review, I wish others were this real-world and covered the stuff you need to know. I appreciate the instructions on how to use the app, the swipe, etc., too. Thanks!
I currently have the momentum 3s and was thinking of upgrading to these new momentum 4s, but honestly I don't like their design. They do not fold, no matter how soft their pad is, it is not leather and it gives me the impression that they are more plastic than the previous version. I like his headband and the touch panel. We'll see what happens. Greetings.
I’ll probably hold onto my threes because I really want to get the high-end headphones that you reviewed I can’t remember the name of them but they beat out the AirPods Max
@@MonsieurGuy yes those ones thank you for that because I completely forgot the name of them but floss rated them very highly on his list he steered me towards the momentum threes when they came out and I have trusted him for over the earheadphones ever since.
Honestly The XM5s are the most expensive Noise canceling headphones you could get, you are paying a big penny in your pocket, I heard senhisers are pretty good but never tried them, I will give them a try in the near future, but for now I am happy I got my SkullCandy Crushers Evo because myself I am a bass lover, and saves you alot of money, got my crusher evos at costco for $140 but note they are sold out sadly but ordered mine on there :) #Bassloversunite 😎 🎧 💀
The Sennheiser’s have way too many firmware issues imo. On head detection almost never works. Dropped connections and two instances where the headphones wouldn’t turn on at all, forcing a factory reset.
@@jpii8468 Yo bro, your Momentum 4 is still doing good? What about that disbalance between the earcups the SoundGuys lads talked about, have you experienced it? I'm still trying to decide between him and the MX4, will decide until tomorrow though.
@@matheusrodrigues2431 I've had no issues at all. I'm a BIG Sony and Bose fan (I also have the Sony MX3s and Bose 700s). The Momentum 4s are my favorite of the 3 by far. You can also connect them via USB to your laptop and they're near audiophile quality. Crazy battery life. Comfort. Call quality (the ability to adjust the 'Side Tone' so you can hear as much of your voice as possible is a game changer), double tap transparency mode so you can have a conversation without removing the headphones...all of it works and works WELL. My only gripe is with the app. I also have the TW3s (earbuds), and they both use the same app. I've ran into issues where my custom EQs have disappeared when switching from the 3s to the 4s.
@@jpii8468 what about the connectivity issues, when u put them in the case, do they randomly turn on ? or if you take out the headphones and put in on your neck, does it stop the music? And how about the bass, mids, treble? Im mainly looking to have bass headphones, but that doesnt mean i want poor mids and treble. to these sound good wirelless? Would mean a lot to me, hearing the person who has these headphones and their experience. ;)
Great review as always. I bought the Sony XM5s, I'm thinking now I should have bought these instead, the fit of the XM5s isn't that good for me. ANC isn't mind-blowing on the XM5, not as great as I was expecting. Might trade them in and buy these instead.
@@FlossyCarter I just did. They sound terrible. They're muddy as hell and midrange is really thin. Female vocals are like fingernails on chalk board. That being said they were my first and only foray into over the ear Bluetooth headphones. I've owned decent wired headphones coupled with a good DAC and high res source material for years. These may be good for what they are but for half the price you can smoke them with a wired pair of cans with a cheap DAC.
You’re expecting Audiophile quality headphones for $400? Try the Sennheiser HD 820, and then come back when you see the price difference. These are Bluetooth headphones with ANC, there’s a huge difference in sound. To call them garbage means ALL headphones with ANC are garbage because they all sound like this or similar.
@@FlossyCarter I'm not sure you read my post. I was trying to replace AKG K712 and an audio quest dragonfly cobalt. Total price for both is $400. That combo absolutely destroys the momentum 4 for the same price and are not even close to "audiophile" gear. I guess I'll just have to deal with the cord. To be honest I don't care about ANC, just the freedom from the cord.
Been watching EVERY single review since the Blu Vivo V that gold phone from about 2015 or so…. So it’s been about 7 years🙆🏽♂️ damn it’s been nearly a decade floss
I'm in the market and it's a tough choice, but I think I might have to go the XM5's. Another review argued the Sony's had better sounds quality so that is going to be subjective so I'll treat them as equal. Where I am both retail for the same price so no difference there. While the battery is life is better, the M4s are also almost 50g / 20% heavier than the Sony's! So that extra battery life comes at a cost, and I can't think of a situation where I need 60 hours when 30 hours already seems overkill, even for connecting long haul flights - so really for me it comes down to the XM5s for god tier ANC , equal sounds quality (based on multiple reviews), equal price and 20% lighter trade off for smaller but still overkill battery life.

Another great set of anc headphones that are on par if not better then xm5 are the new units from technics the eaha800 the anc is just like Sony the call quality is better and the sound is far superior the only thing is the app is not is good I would highly recommend them I just gave my employee of the month of pair and wow he was happy
This is the Bluetooth headphones I have been waiting on from Sennheiser.... I'm glad the battery life is better and they got rid of those wires sticking out of the momentum 3
Exactly my thoughts. Still i will try them before i buy them. :D
coming back 4 months later. watched this when this was first posted, but got a little buzzed the other night and decided i wanted a new pair of cans. already have xm4's, and i love them, but beer is a helluva influence to buy shit you prob dont need. either way, bought these few days ago and while i love the xm4's, i love these even more. got em for 275 which persuaded me to get them over the xm5. no buyers remorse here. again, thanks floss.
Nice deal! Where’d you buy? Best Buy has em for $299 rn

Hi, can you compare them with Sony xm4 by comfort, ANC and sound quality?
@@paulatridies they are def not as comfortable, but not uncomfortable, or have as good anc as the sonys, but i think they sound way better. i listen to mostly rock, folky type stuff and some hip hop and handles those just fine. i would def recommend them.
@@captainsdead Thank you for your detailed answer, I live in a city that is lookalike Mordor, very noisy, that’s why ANC is my priority which leads me to Sony then.
Word. I have the XM4s for Godlike tier ANC. I'm definetly copping these Momentum 4s for the Sennheiser sound quality.
When you say it has the Sennheiser Signature sound.
That’s my go to.
Looking for something to replace the Sony’s XM3. Seeing the comments regarding the Sony. That price hike. No go.
To be honest I am digging the looks of the M4s as well. That fabric look, that clean design.
Appreciate your review, am picking up a pair for myself.
For the people that think that this things are bassy, not exactly, the thing is that you hear bass in every song, frequencies that are not in other headphones even if they are called "Extra Bass" headphones, the Momentum 4 make every song sound COMPLETE, finally I don't have to boost the low on the EQ or mess with the clear bass slider, for the first time I don't need a lot of bass because my music sounds complete.
I actually turned down the bass on mine.
Maybe it's me but I prefer these to the 3's as they look less heavy and softer on the ears. Although the 4's do look like most generic headphones these days, but long as they sound and feel good on the head, that's what matters I guess. Great review from the god tier of reviewers Flossy Carter. Much respect from Ireland 🇮🇪 👏
The 3's are definitely heavier bro and wait till you feel the eaecups on the 4's!
I guess I'm ganna stick with my M4 sony's
Thank you I just pre-ordered a set of Momentum 4's. I will nickname them Whiteshoes
Great video, floss! Been watching for a while now but never really commented before. You literally make my day and I thank you. Been sadly hit with covid recently and watching your videos bring a smile to my face. Thank you. :)
Just bought the Sennheiser Momentum 4 today, and it is INCREDIBLE!
Thinking about it
How's the build quality? Do hinges creak?
@@zahitemremetin606 actually no! these are very durable :D
What up Floss, I subscribed to your channel about 2 months ago and let me say. I love your reviews and knowledge of electronics. Mainly headphones and earbuds. You're the reason I got the sennheiser momentum 3. Now, I'm gonna get the 4.
Great job bro.
I appreciate that!
I’ve been watching him for 6-7 years now.
It's finally time to give rest to my old Momentum 3. Now time for new one although I prefer button than touch , it is alright because now it support 96khz music quality. Thank you floss for early review
The momentum design was great for me I can't believe they completely changed but these look cool too.
I like these more modern look
Your review is spot on, I already owed the Sony XM5's and wasn't looking to change headphones but your reaction to the sound quality made me buy a pair. Wow!! the sound is incredible, ANC is still very good but XM5's phone calls are the best. Sound quality is everything to me and already sold my XM5's...thanks bruh.
I used my warranty on my xm4 they pinched my ears. Sound was meh. Got this on release Dat an no regrets. Love the sennhieser soound. Way better base then Sony too.
Better sound on them?
@@Ohkeh640, yes, I had no problems with the XM5's sound until I tried the Sennheisers. The music sounds more alive.
Floss! Some questions on the Momentum 4:
• Is there a quick charge option like Sony's XM5?
• Are the ear cups as deep as the XM5's?
• How good is the mic on calls?
Every single time I watch one of your videos, you never let me down bro! Keep doing your thing Floss!!!

This might be funny for some , the moment I see flossy review a headphone I'm all in because of him singing along .
so funny
And he always says that he’s not going to sing…😂 Go Floss!!
I already own these but I just want to say this. I laughed my ass off. No one has brought laughable humor to audio reviews. Bravo.
How they treating you?
I'm getting mine next week, can't wait.
@@SomeoneC how are they?
@@sathira_anuk5179 Great,
Got the Momentum 3s a while ago after seeing some reviews including yours. Definitely gonna have to get these some time
Last year he was saying the Momentum 3 was higher quality because of the metal and leather over the all plastic headphones. But now the Momentum 4's with all the plastic and fabric are more premium. Idk bout all dat. I'm sure the4's do sound better! But the Momentum 3's looked more premium than all the other plastic headphones.
You can always rely on Flossy's review. Great job bro. I still remember my first view is when Flossy reviewed the Ducati IPhone 5 casing. Bought it right away after watching the review. 😂
Hahahaha yooooo I just found that case in an old suitcase🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@FlossyCarter time flies bro. 😂 8 years pass just like this. One thing never change that is I'm still relying on your review for my purchase decision. 👍👍
Much respect brother! I appreciate you hanging out all these years, we basically grew up together🤣
@@FlossyCarter 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 🤛🤛I will drop you another comment in another 8 years. Hahahahaha
Hahahaha ok I'll be here waiting😂
Floss, whats hapn and hope all is well. Peeped this video over week ago and after watching, site unseen, I returned just bought qc45s and ordered the M4s. You were spot on during your review; ANC is top notch, base is booming / smooth and the sound overall is a Major Major Major GO! Don't yack much on Ytube, but been rocking with you and spreading the word about you for 10+ years. Truly appreciate you and your unbiased raw reviews. Thanks Floss!
Literally just bought the WH-1000XM5's today, and wasn't sure if I'd be keeping them. I'm pretty tempted to return them and wait for these to drop; save $50 as well.
I don’t think you’d be wrong to return them
i'm a newbie and as i was looking for a headphone to buy, i was so ready to buy the sony xm4 because i watched every youtube video there are about over ear headphones and they all say sony xm4 is the best one out there. glad that i digged a little deeper and watched your video reviewing this one. already pre-ordered it and can't wait to try it out!!
I really like these headphones Just couldn't live with the connectivity issues Traded them in for some Sony fives Sony's work flawlessly The momentums Are not as refined they need to fix the bugs
Each of these headphones should come with the Floss Soundtrack... I'm wit it!
Thanks you so much. Always love your videos. You have so much fun and everyone can feel the positive energy.
Thanks my friend
Heads up for those watching later. The m4s do have multipoint connection now, up to 2 devices at once. Playing sound on one device will switch the sound to that device. Though I found it annoying because I was playing on my switch and everything my phone notification sounded it briefly switched to the phone then went back. Had to mute my phone.
Yeah I love your reviews and bluntness, and I know build is all about personal preference. I disagree with the looks of the 4's . They look cheaper than the 3's, although the stainless-steel retro look is probably more niche. I understand their decision.
Let me know if the battery life is as stated, because that alone would be worth it to most.
But you should look up the Alienware AW920H, they have the same general design.
The freaking crying baby killed me bro! XD🤣
A few months back my m4s broke, and before i got those i was going back and forth between those and the momentums. Can't wait to get these this time.
Great review man. I was sold on the Sony's (they are currently super sold out so don't have them yet), but man these guys may take the cake. I will need to find another video to really check the mic quality though, hoping to use these for the daily zoom meetings, Xm5's have been getting great mic reviews this year
I took flossys advice and picked up a pair of cx plus and absolutely love them..
Love the channel!! Thanks for all your reviews!! You reviews are the ones I listen to! Wishing you all the best!
I got the Sony 1000xm4 cause of Floss, I got the power beats pro because of Floss, and I got the beats fir pro because of Floss. Being a fan of Floss is NOT cheap!!! 😀😃🙂
Great review, Flossy never disappoints! I did have to rewatch the end to see if White-shoes reacted on the gunshot in the music outro and she did😂
Bought them in the new colour 'Denim' blue, otherwise identical, awaiting my delivery! Can't wait!
New Flossy video, hells yeah baby!
I knew as soon as I saw these Momentum 4’s that I could 100% expect to see a video from Flossy about them and here I am about to watch it 😂😂😂
My man floss thanks for the work you put in. I just wanted to ask you if you were going to do the new POCO phones. You know I can't buy a phone without the floss major go certification. Have a nice one.
Your singing and laughing is awesome and we love white shoes - Karyn and family 👪
Thanks my friend
Appreciate ya for a review! Got the Sennheiser HD4.50BT, they are great, but now I'm lookin forward to buying these 4's
Have waited for a long time for these, since i havent appreciated the set of features 3's had, I just had no point in an upgrade. Since now
Actually I had Momentum TW2's, they were great but im not really a fan of earbuds, soo 4's to go
A year late, but as always, I enjoy your thorough, in-depth analysis on devices, etc. I am pulling the trigger in the M-4s! How goes it, white shoes! 🤙
I actually prefer the look of the Momentum 3s, I feel like they look more unique whereas the 4s look more generic and boring
Yeap i love my momentum 3s , they look very unique and sound incredible, might still check these 4s out though
I hate Flossy's videos, every time I watch 'em I spend money 🤣 I got these on sale from Amazon for $220 bucks the other day and daiyum they are legit AF, thanks for another great review...now I'm watching the Momentum 4 earbud review 😱
Flossy so detailed with the headphone reviews, thanks man!
Glad you like them!
Momentum 4 at $350
or
Momentum 3 at $250
What do you pick?
Are the 4's $100 better if sound quality is #1
Damn those are sleeeeek! Making me wanna spend my entire paycheck with all these dope uploads Floss!
Im geeking about these momentum 4s. I have the sony’s xm4 and i wore them everyday for 18 mnths til i killed the noise canceling mike. I was thinking of getting the new sony’s but you got me with this review, as I’m more about the music too.
A bit strange, that plastic+fabric feels more premium than metal+genuine leather (in M3s)
These are my Christmas present. 🎁 🎄 Can always count on Santa to bring the goods-and Flossy to bring the hype! 💝
Yo Floss I've lost track of how many of your vids I've watched and have come to a conclusion. They don't help me narrow down any damn choices cause I just wind up wanting every friggin thing you review lol. That being said I can't wait till you review the B&W PX7 S2's
Coming up bro
@@FlossyCarter I finally got a chance to pit the Momentum 4 vs XM5. If you're interested at all I EQ'd the XM5 and they seemed to sound quite a bit better than the Senn to me at least.
Clear Bass +3
400Hz at 0
1KHz at +6
2.5 KHz at +8
6.3 KHz at +5
16 KHz at +5
I know you stay real busy but if you wind up trying it out I'd love to hear what you think. Stay Flossy bro
Great review! I'm shopping for one or the other & have the following experience with owning Senn PX-550's vs both Sony XM3 and XM4's:
Sonys don't sound as good as Senns & bass isn't as strong. Advantage: Senns.
Senns ear cushions started tearing after a year & nothing can be done to fix them. Sonys are top quality. Advantage: Sony
Battery longevity much better in the Sonys. Initial battery duration was great in both, but after 2yrs of ownership, daily use, Sonys still have at least 75% of their duration. Senns last about an hour. Advantage: Sony.
The sound quality of Senns is that much better & I really want an excuse to buy them over the Sonys...but without a 2yr replacement warranty, I feel like I'm risking too much getting the Senns.
Bought these beasts today
Bass hits hard and clean
Thanks Floss!!
Is the bass the bass better than the 3's
@@mickeyclervo7623yes
Bought a new momentum HD1 when it came out. Got a Momentum 3 new for $120. I use the HD1 more than the 3. I'll get these when it goes on sale for $150
Its my personal preference but i like the look of momentum 3 much better than momentun 4
I agree with you man, the full plastic body is still dragging my mind back on the decision of picking the four. At the moment, I've reached the level of looking "great over hear metal headphones" 😂If the 3 didn't had the hanging wires I've already went for them.
I have the Moment 4 headphones and they are superb.
I was going to buy the B&O H95 , but after listening to both headphones these sounded just as good (if not better) at a fraction of the cost.
Back at it again Floss! Once again, quality review...even though I can't afford it right now, Lol!
Got my Sennheiser M4 today, great sound, high volume and bass, app that actually work, just great for me!! I wanted the B&O H95, great materials and design BUT so low volume and low bass, conectivity issues with the app. The perfect Headsets:Materials and design H95, Sound-M4 and ANC Sony M5, arent you agree?😊
Airpods max vs Momemtum 4 in terms of sound quality ?
Lol! Your sense of humor is over the top. I love it. Really useful review, I wish others were this real-world and covered the stuff you need to know. I appreciate the instructions on how to use the app, the swipe, etc., too. Thanks!
I currently have the momentum 3s and was thinking of upgrading to these new momentum 4s, but honestly I don't like their design. They do not fold, no matter how soft their pad is, it is not leather and it gives me the impression that they are more plastic than the previous version. I like his headband and the touch panel. We'll see what happens. Greetings.
Yeah they dont look or seem more “premium” than the m3s so disagree w Floss there. Metal and lambskin leather > plastic and felt.
I’ll probably hold onto my threes because I really want to get the high-end headphones that you reviewed I can’t remember the name of them but they beat out the AirPods Max
Which ones, Bang and Olufsen Beoplay H95s?
@@MonsieurGuy yes those ones thank you for that because I completely forgot the name of them but floss rated them very highly on his list he steered me towards the momentum threes when they came out and I have trusted him for over the earheadphones ever since.
Just got mine Finally . can’t wait to unboxing and enjoy it 😊🎉 Floss sounds so cool man .
Great review bro !
I think the momentum 4 looks less premium than the previous one...in my opinion.
They're arriving next week, so excited!
Momentum 4 looks so flimsy and cheap. The momentum 3 felt and looked premium as it uses metal and leather.
True, the build on the m4 looks really cheap. I love the xm5's design.
Man, I was already feeling the Momentum 4s, but now I'm extra hype about them!!
Honestly The XM5s are the most expensive Noise canceling headphones you could get, you are paying a big penny in your pocket, I heard senhisers are pretty good but never tried them, I will give them a try in the near future, but for now I am happy I got my SkullCandy Crushers Evo because myself I am a bass lover, and saves you alot of money, got my crusher evos at costco for $140 but note they are sold out sadly but ordered mine on there :) #Bassloversunite 😎 🎧 💀
I never heard a reviewer sing to the music when he reviews headphones 😄👍🏻 love it
Yes, of course it’s better Floss… Been better since the M3…!🤣 Great review bro!
My honest opinion. I A/B tested these against the Soundcore space q45's, and even setting price aside, the soundcores had these beat across the board.
Cap
The Sennheiser’s have way too many firmware issues imo.
On head detection almost never works. Dropped connections and two instances where the headphones wouldn’t turn on at all, forcing a factory reset.
I haven't experienced any of those problems. I've been a Sony guy forever, but SO glad I picked these up recently.
@@jpii8468 Yo bro, your Momentum 4 is still doing good? What about that disbalance between the earcups the SoundGuys lads talked about, have you experienced it? I'm still trying to decide between him and the MX4, will decide until tomorrow though.
@@matheusrodrigues2431 I've had no issues at all. I'm a BIG Sony and Bose fan (I also have the Sony MX3s and Bose 700s). The Momentum 4s are my favorite of the 3 by far. You can also connect them via USB to your laptop and they're near audiophile quality.
Crazy battery life. Comfort. Call quality (the ability to adjust the 'Side Tone' so you can hear as much of your voice as possible is a game changer), double tap transparency mode so you can have a conversation without removing the headphones...all of it works and works WELL. My only gripe is with the app. I also have the TW3s (earbuds), and they both use the same app. I've ran into issues where my custom EQs have disappeared when switching from the 3s to the 4s.
@@jpii8468 what about the connectivity issues, when u put them in the case, do they randomly turn on ? or if you take out the headphones and put in on your neck, does it stop the music? And how about the bass, mids, treble? Im mainly looking to have bass headphones, but that doesnt mean i want poor mids and treble. to these sound good wirelless?
Would mean a lot to me, hearing the person who has these headphones and their experience. ;)
@@jpii8468 hey man, how r they for watching netflix and other movie streaming? any noticeable sound delay?
Great review as always. I bought the Sony XM5s, I'm thinking now I should have bought these instead, the fit of the XM5s isn't that good for me. ANC isn't mind-blowing on the XM5, not as great as I was expecting. Might trade them in and buy these instead.
where the sniff test
Thank you floss I'm getting mine this weekend
These are absolute garbage
Said no one ever
@@FlossyCarter I just did. They sound terrible. They're muddy as hell and midrange is really thin. Female vocals are like fingernails on chalk board. That being said they were my first and only foray into over the ear Bluetooth headphones. I've owned decent wired headphones coupled with a good DAC and high res source material for years. These may be good for what they are but for half the price you can smoke them with a wired pair of cans with a cheap DAC.
You’re expecting Audiophile quality headphones for $400? Try the Sennheiser HD 820, and then come back when you see the price difference. These are Bluetooth headphones with ANC, there’s a huge difference in sound. To call them garbage means ALL headphones with ANC are garbage because they all sound like this or similar.
You can’t buy a Big Mac from Burger King and complain it’s not Kobe beef, you only paid $5 😂
@@FlossyCarter I'm not sure you read my post. I was trying to replace AKG K712 and an audio quest dragonfly cobalt. Total price for both is $400. That combo absolutely destroys the momentum 4 for the same price and are not even close to "audiophile" gear. I guess I'll just have to deal with the cord. To be honest I don't care about ANC, just the freedom from the cord.
Been watching EVERY single review since the Blu Vivo V that gold phone from about 2015 or so…. So it’s been about 7 years🙆🏽♂️ damn it’s been nearly a decade floss
Much respect brother🙏🏽
Hi there Flossy.... these are great after watching your video on this ... finally I got mine 😊❤❤❤
I'm in the market and it's a tough choice, but I think I might have to go the XM5's. Another review argued the Sony's had better sounds quality so that is going to be subjective so I'll treat them as equal. Where I am both retail for the same price so no difference there. While the battery is life is better, the M4s are also almost 50g / 20% heavier than the Sony's! So that extra battery life comes at a cost, and I can't think of a situation where I need 60 hours when 30 hours already seems overkill, even for connecting long haul flights - so really for me it comes down to the XM5s for god tier ANC , equal sounds quality (based on multiple reviews), equal price and 20% lighter trade off for smaller but still overkill battery life.
Just got the xm5’s! There definitely the best headphones I’ve ever tried
Watching your reviews armed with a credit card is like going to the grocery store when you hungry as a hostage!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks buddy flossy am going for them now
