If you're in the market for a pair of noise-canceling headphones, you really are spoilt for choice right now. There are Apple's AirPods Max, for example, or Sony's WH-1000XM5, to name some of the most popular. Sennheiser's contender, the Momentum 4, already make a hard-earned case for your dollar, but a massive price drop on Amazon just made sure that they should be at the top of your list.
At full price, the Momentum 4 will set you back $379 — but now, with a monster $170 off, they'll only cost you $209. That's the new lowest price for the headphones too, and $40 lower than we've seen them in previous sales.
The Momentum 4 might not shout too loud about their qualities from the rooftops with their relatively understated design, but you'll soon realize they're some of the best noise-canceling headphones once you've slipped them on your head.
The sound quality is about as measured and balanced as they come, managing to avoid the bass-heavy signature trap that many companies fall into. If you'd like more bass, however, you can always hop into the solid Sennheiser app and play around with the customizable EQ to really dial in their sound.
The touch controls on the side of each earcup are good too, and they're comfortable for long periods thanks to their plush earcups and silicon-coated headband. The stand-out feature though is a real doozy — the battery life. With ANC turned on, you get a whopping 60 hours of listening time. To put that in perspective, a full charge of Apple's AirPods Max will net you 20 hours of playback, while the Sony WH-1000XM5 will last you 30. If you're a frequent flyer (or serial 'forgetting to charge' offender like me) then the staying power of the Momentum 4 is a massive draw.
All these features for just over $200 feels like daylight robbery — yet here we are, with perhaps the headphone deal of the year. We can't imagine that they're going to stay in stock for long with a price like this, so we'd recommend grabbing them as fast as possible.
