Pros & Cons
The Momentum 4 is the headphone to get if battery life comes first. 60 hours with ANC is the best figure here by a wide margin, and the 42 mm drivers and aptX Adaptive support are strong on paper. Sennheiser does not list multipoint or a weight on the spec page we checked, so check those against your needs.

How this score is calculated
Each criterion is the weighted average of its available spec scores (0–10) from our Headsets scoring matrix. Empty specs are skipped, not scored as 0. The Expert Score is the weighted average of the scored criteria, shown out of 10; stars = Expert Score / 20, rounded to the nearest half star. Not scored for this product (it doesn't apply, or the published specs don't cover it): Comfort & Ergonomics, Certification & Controls, Build Quality & Durability. Its weight is shared by the other criteria.

The Verdict
I’d pick the Momentum 4 if sound quality and battery life matter most and calls are secondary. For stronger ANC in a lighter frame, the Sony Sony WH-1000XM6 is the rival. For work calls all day, choose a boom headset like the Jabra Evolve2 85.
