As Tom's Guide's audio editor, I’ve reviewed dozens of outstanding headphones and many of them rank among the best headphones you can buy right now. Although there's no doubt in my mind that the Sony WH-1000XM5 flagships offer the best balance of features and performance for buyers overall, there's another headphone design that keeps grabbing my attention that gets remarkably close to matching Sony's audio performance, and is even better in one very big way.
Sennheiser's Momentum 4 Wireless may get less attention than some of the best noise-canceling headphones we've reviewed, but they're an outstanding alternative to the top-ranking Bose and Sony noise cancelers. A great value option even at the current MSRP $379 / £309 / AU$579, they boast the longest battery life of any noise-canceler in their class, and what's more they're an absolute bargain right now discounted to $299 at Amazon.
