### 4/5 — Couple Requests

*2026-08-18*

My main two things I would like this app to allow are 1) Multiple sound personalization settings - like up to 4 (not just one that I’m trying to make one-size-fits-all for my music, since I don’t like any of the preset EQs), and 2) An easier process for customizing the personalized sound. Going off of sample tracks in the app isn’t as helpful as being told to pick a favorite song of ours, and listening to how different it sounds with each level of adjustment. Sony really did it right with their app (letting you pick between 4 options, then going off of that option to pick one of another 4 or so, then fine-tuning it one more time with the last selection). Would love for these kinds of things in a future update.

### 4/5 — Great sound, but like most things favours right handed people

*2026-08-18, version 1.6.1*

Very good sound and very comfortable - good battery life - but as usual the controls are designed only for right handed people

### 4/5 — Great Sound

*2026-08-17*

Great sound but I can’t get loud enough with my Apple 14 phone?

### 4/5 — Good app

*2026-08-13*

I like the features the app provides, it enables you to track your headphones and edit just about anything about them. The only thing it doesn’t have that I’d like to have is the ability to edit the touch controls on my headphones, I’m not sure if it’s a situation specific to my headphones, but being able to change what the controls do would be an awesome feature. Also, having more controls over the sound personalization such as bass boost and more fine tuning controls would be very nice.

### 4/5 — Works well

*2026-08-12*

Works well. The only extra feature is like is the ability to control the volume of outside sounds when in transparency mode.

### 3/5 — So so

*2026-08-10*

Not much volume and dissatisfaction with bass

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-08-10*

Wow I didn’t expect this clean features

### 3/5 — Quirky App

*2026-08-10, version 1.6.1*

My headphones stop working when I take calls without any reason. After reinstalling it worked fine but now I cannot control the volume. I’m not sure if it’s a hardware issue or software. Please fix it! Unacceptable at this price

### 5/5 — OKC guitars

*2026-08-10, version 1.5.1*

I can only say best I have heard ,use to us Bose

### 5/5 — Simple to Use Impactfull App

*2026-08-09*

The App settings are easy to be controlled and effective. Best headphone of my life until now.

### 5/5 — Sick

*2026-08-08, version 1.5.1*

Super sick 🤙🏻

### 5/5 — Sennheiser Momentum 4

*2026-08-07, version 1.5.1*

Crisp sound quality with deep bass rumble and just an overall really enjoyable listening experience!

### 3/5 — Momentum true wireless 4

*2026-08-07, version 1.5.1*

Build Quality- Good, both the case and the earphones feel as though they were made with care and quality material. The case is covered in a fabric and is also a decent size to my palm.

Comfort- good, I’m capable of forgetting the earphones are there because of a silicon fin they have that gently prevents the earphone from moving when placed but allows it to be positioned how you want in your ears. It can also be removed if you don’t like it and they have one that’s smooth without the fin for smaller ears.

Audio Quality- Really Good, the app has EQ settings that you can customize. However, even with flat audio the sound is clear and consistent. I believe the only problems I’ve had are related to being used to using IEMs with the Qudelix 5K I was able to pull a lot more power into crisp sound at low volumes if that makes sense. For true wireless earbuds they are some of the most impressive audio wise that I have used.

ANC- ok, I think the ANC could use work it’s not bad as long as the sounds around you are at an average decibel level or the audio is turned up very high. I will say the transparency is impressive and with the comfort of the earphones I forgot I had anything in my ear when I was doing transparency mode. (I forgot to mention that for some reason the ANC will just switch to transparency on its own sometimes? It’s done it to me 3 times I thought I clicked something the first time but the other two I was playing a game in the background while listening to music so I couldn’t have.)

Microphone- so far on calls I have been complimented for how clear I sound on call but I have yet to make a recording and listen to myself.

Bluetooth connectivity- 50/50, I’ve had issues with one earphone disconnecting when I am in calls then reconnecting at it’s convenience, both briefly disconnecting when I am listening to music, or briefly cutting out while listening to things. The earphones are good but if I’m having connectivity issues I’m going to just return them. I searched online and it mentioned clearing the cache of the app, but I just got these earphones today this is not a problem I should be experiencing day one. So far I have had a disconnection 26 times in the 6 hours I have had these earphones in my ear. This is all while being directly next to my phone. 

App- good, the UI is nice it walks you through setup and is easy to use. Along with having several settings to help you with most things.

Overall- the earphones are good, but I cannot give more than a three star review due the connection issues. Those issues have been incredibly frustrating and for 200 dollar earphones that is an issue I would not expect. I could get over some of the other problems I have as they are an audio bias due to an AMP/DAC. Without the connection issues I would easily give a 4.6  star review but I can’t recommend them with the current issue as I know I’m not the only one that has experienced it. Even if there is a fix I could do, I should not have to troubleshoot my 200 dollar earphones out of the box.

### 5/5 — Excellent personal adjustability

*2026-08-05, version 1.5.1*

This is my 6th wireless ear buds in the last 10 years. They sound great, not quite the bass of my Marshall’s, but a better spacial separation than any of the other brands. I’ve paid less, & I’ve paid more. These are a fantastic  bang for your buck. Very happy with them!

### 1/5 — ..

*2026-08-21, version 1.6.1*

The settings menu is quite confusing and it’s difficult to find the advanced headphone settings. The main page in the app mostly focuses on turning ANC on and off, while the more detailed settings are not easy to find.

For headphones at this price, I expected the app and settings interface to be much more intuitive and user-friendly. There is definitely room for improvement.

### 1/5 — アプリは普通だが、充電を促す音声が爆音

*2026-08-19*

ひと通り設定したいことは設定できるので、他の音楽デバイス系アプリと比べても、特に劣るところはないと思う。

ただし、バッテリーが少なくなった時の、充電を促す音声が爆音でびっくりする。音量を下げられるようにしてほしい。

### 1/5 — Won’t connect

*2026-08-17, version 1.6.1*

Routinely will not find or connect to my headphones.  I can connect and actually use them, but the Plus app WILL not pair. 
This is extremely frustrating as the tap gestures don’t always work properly for the headset I have as well. Everything is up to date and it STILL won’t connect. :( i just want my headphones to work man.

### 1/5 — 。

*2026-08-14, version 1.6.1*

太差劲了，软件注册体验极差

### 1/5 — Good luck

*2026-08-13*

Your Momentum TWs will absolutely refuse to connect and will insistently disconnect five seconds after connecting. Never buying anything from this rubbish scammer brand ever again.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly and fails to update headphone

*2026-08-10*

Fails to update my headphone, I don’t recommend buying Momentum 4, Sonny headphones are better options

### 1/5 — Mr

*2026-07-29, version 1.5.1*

The best ever

### 1/5 — One side does not work

*2026-06-29, version 1.5.0*

The left earbud has not been working. Have tried to update the software, re-pair bluetooth, reset. Could not be successful. Just last about 4 months

### 1/5 — Pésimo producto

*2026-06-15, version 1.4.2*

Pésimo producto los Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 4(in-ear) tienen escaso 1 año y medio y ya el audífono izquierdo no funciona, no lo cubre la garantía, son los segundos que compro pensando que los primero habías salido malos por mala suerte, cuando veo que es la marca la que es pésima, mejor hubiera comprado unos Sony.

### 1/5 — Absolute Disaster.

*2026-06-07*

It honestly will never connect. I tried and tried and tried. 
The only way to actually use my Momentum 4 headphones ( which I also dislike by the way. :(   ) on my phone through Bluetooth seems to be when I have the app uninstalled.

Bbbbuuuutttttt when I did have it … the lossless is pretty good

### 5/5 — Beautiful Sound

*2026-08-14, version 1.6.1*

These hp’s sound really, really good. I’m a bit of a audiophile and I own about two dozen headphones ranging in prices from $35-$2k. They connect immediately and effortlessly to my iPhone. I’m very pleased with my purchase.

### 5/5 — Christopher m

*2026-08-13, version 1.6.1*

I’ve had momentum TW 4 now about a month. Love them. Sound quality is outstanding. Bass is crisp and clear not muffled and voice is clean. Only change I would make is better advertising. People need to know how good this product is.

### 5/5 — Simply awesome

*2026-08-12*

Didn’t know that music can be so good! Listening to Indian classical music on this sennheiser is wonderful

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-11, version 1.6.1*

Works really well. The tool for testing the fit of the two earbuds is brilliant and ensures you’re getting the most out of the noise cancelling and sound quality.

### 5/5 — Loving this

*2026-08-10, version 1.6.1*

I just received my buds and they sound amazing. Being able to customize how they connect, sound and do what they do makes these even better.

### 5/5 — Visually impaired user

*2026-08-10, version 1.6.1*

A big improvement over the previous app with regards to those people for whom Voiceover is necessary to access the headphones advanced functionality. Thanks.
