I rate both Sennheiser Momentum 4 and 5 Bluetooth headphones – but in 2026 there's only one I'd buy

The Sennheiser Momentum 4 and 5 side by side. .

I'm a fan of Sennheiser, and of the Momentum series of Bluetooth headphones. I've owned a pair since the excellently-designed Momentum 3, and each iteration has built on the last. But right now Sennheiser is only making the 4 and 5, and with the 4 selling for $217 and the 5 going for $400, it's not overly clear which one is the best to buy today.

And it gets harder! I think both the Momentum 4 and the Momentum 5 are excellent headphones, but for very different reasons. In fact, they both sit at one and two on my list of the best wireless headphones guide, competing with all the other leading ANC headphones on the market, like the Bose QC Ultra 2, Sony WH-1000XM6 and Focal Bathys MG.
