I've had many headphones from different brands, but the Momentum 4 surpasses them all without a hitch. The price/quality ratio is undoubtedly one of the best. It's worth investing a little more in these headphones... Deep bass, crystal clear highs, and phenomenal mid-tones, the voices sound wonderfully well... The instruments are a delight to listen to through here... I 100% recommend them to my friends.

Luxurious Sound!!

It's impressive how the power and sound quality doesn't distort, as long as the connectivity is good (even then, if the song is of poor quality, it equalizes it so you can enjoy the best sound) Setting aside any potential issues, in summary, they're fantastic because they offer an astonishing sound quality, and personally, when I access the Smart Control app to choose the Bass mode, it gives me goosebumps. Besides, if you activate the noise cancellation which is very good, you won't want to take the headphones off all day ;) And as a last comment, the Undisputed Champion of long battery life (despite having the sound at maximum), the battery life is striking because you won't find it in any other headphones or earbuds. Hats off to the battery too. A purchase that does not disappoint!!!

While these headphones have strong competitors, like the Sony XM4's and XM5's - THIS CLEARS. The headphones build quality in hand just feels magnificent. The mesh feels high quality and feels very nice on. After wearing it for 2 hours, feels no different. Just perfect. The sound quality is awesome. That's it. The ANC is very effective, and you can control it by the touch of an earphone. Overall, A MUST RECOMMEND.
