Bought one. Thanks OP! Almost bought this yesterday, glad I waited for a deal.
Good deal! This or B&W Px7 S2 for about $360?
I've had the PX7 S2 for about 2 years, and got the Momentum 4 a few months ago.
Definitely the M4 in my books. Reason I changed from PX7 S2 was:
1) the square-ish ear cushions actually left a slight air gap around jaw that ruined noise cancelling for one of my ears. Everytime I turned my head the "seal" would break which was very distracting having outside sound suddenly coming in and out.
2) honestly while detail was nice it felt a lot like lower frequencies were more cut off.
The build quality of the PX7 was exceptional however. Looked and felt really nice.
Things I appreciate about the M4 over PX7 S2 (and my partner's xm5):
1) Sub-bass extension is incredible. Definitely has thst sensation of being able to "feel" the low notes, and no bass bloat. PX7 felt like any attempt to increase bass to account for cut-off was just raising more mid-bass and drowning about vocals.
2) Battery life is obviously ridiculously good.
3) App has better equaliser.
Comfort-wise I feel like they're about the same. M4 has less clamping force but I wouldn't trust them to stay on if I shake my head. I use earbuds (wf-1000xm5) at gym but I feel like either might fall off if I lay down in a bench with them.
Overally I definitely don't regret side-grsding to M4. Feels like an upgrade to me.
EDIT: should note I don't use mic so can't comment on call quality; they're purely for music, media and games for me.
Thanks for your detailed response, mate! Really helpful.
Thanks. Appreciate the detail
Damnit, at this price they're so tempting. Don't even need them :(
Gotta remind myself that I only got 2 ears and 5 headphones already…
Can you replace the band on these?
I'm getting tired of headsets leaving pleather in my hair and on my face due to disintegration.
Damnit, I paid $311.25 just three weeks ago. :(
Might make you feel better: a couple of months ago I thought 375 was a good price…. :(
Just a warning I recently had these headphones and had to take them back as after 4 days one of the earcups started blasting white noise constantly, this was being caused by faulty/damaged ANC which these headphone have no way of turning off. Online there are many people complaining of similar issues. when i took them back to JB the girl working didnt even check them and said that they have had heaps of returns with this model
I bought mine recently and will be sending them back because you can't turn the ANC off, otherwise great set of headphones and a great price.
Any one able to compare these to the Sony WH1000-XM4 ?
Rtings has a comparison.
These seem essentially better across the board (if you EQ both) however the Sony has better ANC and possibly a better mic.
But that's a highly technical review from a single source.
TIL eBay plus has change of mind returns.
I've bought a pair, will report back with my findings.
So far I've tried Apple Airpods Pro 2, Bose QC as replacements to the XM4's and they just haven't measured up.
How are these compared to the xm5s?
you would find a few videos comparison between the two on youtube. I went with the M4 in the end.
hopefully they fixed those software issues.
can’t remember all of them but one was the “auto off detection” not working properly and the headphones would turn themselves on randomly in the case, stealing audio and phone calls away from your phone while you are on a call.
another was something to do with the EQ? or some custom setting, which would reset itself constantly. can’t be bothered to search for all issues rn but check comments on all previous deals if you want to know all issues.
How are these compared to Bose Ultra?
The QC Ultra a generally better in every way, except price (which is usually around $450 when on sale). I'd say maybe worth it if ANC is super important to you, otherwise its difficult to justify the difference in price.
I am enjoying my momentum 3's, this price is so tempting. Must resist it.
I hit the buy button, the 60-hour battery got me…
I thought i got a good deal during prime day deals at 350
This might be the cheapest it's ever been so far
I literally bought these headphones for $398 just last week from jb hi fi price matched against Harvey norman, someone comfort me..
don't these come with like 30 day return or is it different if you get it from retail
If you haven't used Zip before, you can get these for $239 when stacked with this Zip Click Frenzy offer, buying direct from Sennheiser
