The sound quality is what really got me hooked. There's this richness and depth that makes everything — playlists, podcasts, movies — feel more immersive. Songs I've heard a thousand times seem to reveal details I'd completely missed before.

Comfort isn't an issue either. The padded ear cups sit nicely without clamping down, and the lightweight build means marathon listening sessions don't leave me with a headache. Long flights, back-to-back meetings, all-day work sessions. they handle it all without complaint.

Active noise cancellation does its job without that strange pressure some ANC headphones create. A quick tap activates transparency mode when you need to tune back into your surroundings, so you don't need to take them off.

Battery life is genuinely impressive. Up to 60 hours on a single charge means I'm only reaching for the cable about twice a week, despite using them constantly. Call quality holds up too — the mic cuts through coffee shop chatter and street noise without turning my voice into a garbled mess.

These just work. No fussing with EQ settings, no constant adjustments, no regrets. I didn't expect to get this attached to a pair of headphones, but swapping them out for anything else feels like a downgrade now.

While Beats and Apple dominate the conversation, the Momentum 4s are out here doing the work without the fanfare. At just $229 you're getting exceptional value on headphones that deserve more hype.
