The best for me, and I tried a few
Color: Black
I wanted a pretty nice set of bluetooth over the ear noise canceling headphones. I specifically waited for Black Friday so I could get a nice discount. I bought four different sets of headphones that were in my budget to try them all. I kept these sennheiser momentum 4 over the other ones. I returned the other three which were the Sony 1000 XM5, the Bose QuietComfort ultra and the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2e. All of these had a similar price when not on sale. I was quite surprised that I kept the Sennheiser. I really thought I'd be keeping the Bowers and Wilkins based on some of the reviews I've watched. For the type of music I listen to and the ways I will be using these headphones these were just the best. The app is solid and has lots of nice options and allows for the kind of customization I was looking for. The fit is perfect for me. Although so were the Bowers & Wilkins. But the sennheiser's battery life and sound profile along with the nice noise canceling, not the best noise canceling but really good, are what won it over for me. A real 60 hours of battery life is just incredible. That means the average person probably wouldn't have to charge these but once a month! They also came with a really nice case that's slim and easy to throw in a backpack or bag. I'm not sure why other people have issues with the touch controls, they work perfect for me. And the sound quality for the type of music I listen to which is mostly 80s and '90s metal is phenomenal for Bluetooth headphones. I have a few sets of really nice wired headphones and IEM's and these are quite surprising how good they are. A friend of mine has the bose and I've let him try these. He understands why I pick these over the bose now that he's heard them. The cherry on top for these headphones though is that they are phenomenal when you're making phone calls. It doesn't matter how loud or windy the environment is that you're making your call in, the person on the other end has no idea as it's as clear as it ever could be when using Bluetooth. I am really amazed how well they work in this regard. Bluetooth headphones are very subjective when trying to tell someone what is recommended. And if I wouldn't have tried these four I would not have believed how much of a difference there is in the sound profile, comfort, apps, and noise canceling. If you're going to spend some decent money on a set of headphones I really recommend buying a few sets or at least going to a store where you can try them first. I know that's hard to do as most places don't let you try before you buy, so that's why I bought all four and returned the three I did not choose. I've used them with my Hiby DAP, my pixel smartphone and my Lenovo tablet as well as my Sony TV. All of them work fantastic and the connection was quick and easy. I like the fact that I can set up different sound profiles in the app based on what I'm using the headphones for. I have one for podcasts which makes voices sound clear and precise. I have another for movies with the extra bass turned on for the impact of movie soundtrackcs and the punch for explosions and such. I also have another for my favorite kind of music and I have one for watching YouTube videos. I'm not trying to convince anyone to buy these, I'm just telling you my experience with the forehead phones I purchased and why I chose these. Everyone is different, so what's best for me is not necessarily what's best for you. ... show more

Amazing sound quality, solid in every other area
Color: Black
Bought these along with the Sony XM5 to compare to my existing Bose 700. Comfort: The Bose 700 I don't find very comfortable, namely the headband, being rather thin, it puts pressure on the top of my head after a couple hours. The Sony had this problem initially, but then I started loosening the headband as much as possible, and being a very light pair, I stopped having that particular issue. All in all I found the Sony much more comfortable than the 700. I could see some folks saying it's more comfortable than the Momentum 4s. However I disagree about that. For me the Momentum 4 are the most comfortable. It has very soft ear pads, much like the Sony. Granted the M4s are heavier, but the weight is distributed very well across the headband, better than the Sony's imo. All in all, it's a close call and the Sony's are really well done comfort wise. Super light and super cushy pads. Could see a reasonable person going in either direction for the win here. Sound quality: I think the XM5 are pretty close to the Bose 700 and could see folks going either way depending on your signature preferences. Personally think I like the Sony a bit better, just more lively than the more neutral Bose. Both are in the same league though. The M4s are way better sound quality wise plain and simple. They're not in the same league. Heck, they're not even playing in the same sport. Find myself listening to music way more often during the day simply because I enjoy it that much more. This is the reason I'm ultimately sticking with the M4s. And it's not a hard decision. Noise cancelation: Sony XM5 are simply the best. If you're buying headphones to block out the sound of your partner playing annoying tiktok vids, this is the one to get. M4s have pretty good noise canceling too, but the Sony's are way better here imo. Bose sits between the XM5 and the M4s, maybe just a little better than the M4s Mic sound quality: I'm work remotely with multiple meetings throughout the day so I've done extensive testing on all three models. In a nutshell if you don't have any special requirements, all of them do a great job. In quiet conditions I prefer the the M4 a little better than the others, my voice just has more body to it, but again, it's plenty clear using any of these models. In noisy conditions, the Sony XM5 are way better than the rest in isolating your voice and minimizing background noise. Simply incredible! The 700 and M4 handled the background noise a bit differently. My voice is clearer on the M4s in noisy conditions whereas the Bose cancel out more background noise at the cost of sacrificing clarity. When there's lots of noise, the Bose can reduce your voice to the point where it's super difficult to hear what you're saying. The M4s will allow more background noise through, but my voice remains super clear and louder than other sounds coming through. One feature I really like about the M4s, the one and only button they have (making it super easy to find) becomes a mute button during calls, zoom or google meetings. Really enjoy that feature as I could walk around the house and unmute myself if I need to talk. A voice tells you if it's muted or unmuted so you know where you're at. No more flushing the toilet while running out of the room hoping no-one on the meeting heard it. The background noise canceling of the XM5 during calls was so good, it made me really want to keep them. But ultimately good music sound quality is something I'd enjoy more often since I'm not often taking meetings in super noisy conditions. Also the M4s have the mute button I could use if I do find myself in that situation. Summery: If you want incredible noise cancelation while listening to music, taking calls or meetings, the Sony XM5 are the one to get. They are head and shoulders above the competition in this respect. If you wanna be wowed by how amazing your music sounds, renewing your love for music you didn't even know you had, the M4s are for you. These are the main areas where there is substantial difference. Sony and Seinheiser truly impressed me in their respective areas of expertise. Aside from those standout areas, these are all great headsets. Even the Bose 700 is a really solid headset. Unfortunately it wasn't able to differentiate itself when compared to these two titans of industry. Noise canceling is great, just can't touch the Sony's. Sound quality also great, just can't touch the M4s. Arguable the Bose are the slickest looking headset of the bunch though. ... show more

DO NOT BUY - HEADPHONES BRICK IF BATTERY DISCHARGES TO 0%
Color: Black
UPDATE - BRICKS IF POWER DRAINS - DO NOT BUY!!! This is an update to my previous review. These are a passable set of headphones evaluated on audio quality. And since I wrote my email below, Sennheiser actually fixed the app to turn off some of the terrible touch features I described in my original review below. But I just replaced my old unit that wore out. But the new units brick if you let the power drain. If the battery fully discharges on these units, you will never be able to get them turned on again. Even worse if you google and chatgpt this, it is a known issue. Do not buy these headphones. It's ridiculous that the manufacturer has these on the market. My research reveals they know about this issue. ----- I have owned at least five pairs of Sennheiser headphones, three in this very line, and it's hard to understand how they get worse instead of better. I ignored the questionable reviews on here thinking people were being overly fussy about audio expectations, but the problems with this product are varied and not what you would expect. Whereas many bad products don't live up to your expectations, these headphones work so poorly and cause so many problems that you can expect them to rob your time and continually cause you aggravation and issues on a daily basis. The fact that I am even taking time out from my busy schedule to write a review speaks to just how terrible these things are: - Audio quality is decent and about what you would expect in a mid-range set of headphones (this is not an audiophile product). I do notice that there is no bass boost feature that previous versions had that I liked. The decrease in audio quality is disappointing, but I probably could have lived with it, as I think the intended application for these phones is being out and about. But that's just where the issues begin... - The real problem with this Momentum line is there is no continuity and improvement with the features. I would expect the designers to be learning from their mistakes and adding improvements with each generation. Instead, each new version has a wildly different approach, and in the case of this model, they have decided to introduce tons of "smart" features, because isn't that just the thing to do these days, regardless of whether it does anything "smart" to enhance the experience. To be clear, I am referring to the array of "automated" features that I detail below. - Most features are automatic and cannot be turned on and off. They claim they can. There is a bluetooth phone app. But the things you can control there are limited. And what can be controlled is worthless, because the headphone constantly lose the connection and settings with the app, so there is no persistence, and you will have to go in again and again to control things that can be only controlled and only in the app. - There is a touch-sensitive pad on the outside of the right headphone that sounds like a great idea, but is a curse to plague your every move. The intended functions of changing volume or tracks, etc. is pretty inconsistent. But anything that touches the pad is going to do something random. If it's raining, your hat touches it, your hair brushes it, you pull your hoodie up, anything is going to do random things to the controls to interrupt your experience. - Even worse are the features apparently intended to anticipate what you want based on movements. If you slip the headphone off one ear for example, it stops the music. Sometimes when you put it back over the ear, it starts again - most of the time not. If you turn your head left or right, or turn around to look backward (which I often do working with these things on) it will pause or stop the music. Sometimes when you turn your head back, it turns on again - most of the time not. - The single manual button on them controls the few key functions (on, off, bluetooth pairing). It is controlled by the time you hold the button, and does not work consistently. So you might be playing around with it for 30 seconds or a minute trying to get them on or off, instead of just flipping a switch in an instant. In summary, nothing works as it should, and instead of putting them on and falling into a flow or work or running, or whatever you want to do, these things are going to constantly start and stop, interrupting and frustrating you to no end, the whole time you are trying to use them. I despise them. Why not just keep it simple and build on the quality foundations that this product could have. The people who designed these things should be put in design prison. I have had my share of disappointing products over the years, but I can't think of another one that keeps doling out the punishment or disappointment in quite the same special way that this abysmal product does. ... show more

Top Notch Headphones, 1 PROBLEM however…
Color: Black
These headphones audio quality are amazing some of the best headphones I’ve ever owned, 1 small PROBLEM, they aren’t water resistant in the slightest, and I know that’s my problem for not looking into it enough, anyways, I got a little bit too sweaty doing some cardio and it sounded like the left ear blew out completely and now all it plays is a buzzing crackling noise every time I power on the headphones. So if you are buying these for gym/sports use be careful, if you are buying these for audio quality and for my audiofiles out there these are top notch, noise cancelation isn’t the greatest but I’ve definitely had worse, I’ve heard the momentum 5s ANC are better but I wouldn’t know. Anyways to sum it up for audio quality, build quality, comfort, and software they are top notch but that one slightly sweat problem made them only last 3 months because I finally decided to do hard cardio 1 time. ... show more

I gravitated towards these set of headphones🎧 because of the reputation of the brands name and just by the appearance alone. I’m in love with the color scheme that they’ve chosen 😍.

A flawed masterpiece - In Depth
Color: Black/Copper - Special Edition
5 stars to me. 4 stars all around for the average consumer due to issues I believe others will find a problem with but I have found some workarounds for I will start off with the flaws (unfortunately it has em) from my experience and some solutions. They are mostly features based. I'll also address confusions and "negative" experiences as there are reviews where clearly it's the people and not the headphones that are the problem yet they are giving this a worse impression that it should have. And lastly praise what it has going well for it Also, I will highly suggest downloading the new app version called smart control PLUS and install any firmware updates. Then go adjust settings or it will have some annoyances. Flaws On-head detection: this causes most of the headaches. For those that like to free up an ear to listen to someone talk better - make a habit of freeing your left ear and not the right. There is a sensor to detect your ear and it is only INSIDE the right earcup. It makes a double click noise when it detects and stops detecting your ear. Unfortunately it makes a similar sound for both which is a huge flaw as you might not know if it is detecting or not sometimes. This will trigger the auto off feature if it doesn't detect you while you're listening to music. It usually pauses from the headset, but there is a possibility it can be ignored by an app and continue playing so when you put it back on you might not even know if it detected you. Another possibility is you made the mistake of pressing play from the app itself when it stops detecting you thus eventually triggering the sleep feature. You can disable auto off but I personally put it in 1 hour just in case as I would have likely readjusted my headset by that point and reset it. This goes into the next feature: auto play. It's perfectly fine on mobile but on PC it can be a nightmare as you could be listening to music, you adjust your right earcup so it pauses and when you put it back on, it might play some other video like youtube in an open browser; it depends on the programs that behave to bluetooth pause/play. So don't have so many open video/audio programs in the background. Also for those with long hair, autoplay can struggle to detect if it completely covers your right ear (some people start to think it stopped working). Overall, I just disabled autoplay while keeping auto-off enabled as I mainly use the M4 on PC, but again, it seems to work really well on mobile. Plus of course if any of these aren't necessary to you, you can simply disable it as a whole for an old fashioned headphone experience to avoid annoyances but I have gotten used to it at this point that I rarely have issues [Update: I just learned on May 2025 that as of the new firmware 2.13.42 it reads "Improved auto-off behavior reducing unexpected behavior during calls or streaming due to misdetection in smart pause sensor", so perhaps this section might become untrue with less flaws down the road thus hopefully improving user experience] Multi- point connection: It can and will connect to two devices that have bluetooth active after they have been paired. There are individuals that pair their headphones to everything and might experience a random connection. Unfortunately no disabling this so you have to be precise with what you want to connect this with. I only paired this to PC and mobile so it doesn't attempt to connect to anything else but in the app you can click to what else in the list want to connect to (or delete). When it detects multiple signals it will prioritize connecting to what you last used, it seems. Not an issue for me. Also, it will ALWAYS prioritize audio for the first connection of the two which will usually be the phone. This is important. If it connects to my phone first, well lets say Im on the PC listening to music, once your phone makes any kind of sound, your audio will switch to it and interrupt the music, then resume playing your PC's music. Because of this, disable useless sounds like the lock screen opening sounds because that will trigger a switch (not sure about typing sounds). I have sound on for notifications to get my attention for the phone but if that is an annoyance I would try connecting other devices (like PC) as your main device first and then phone second. That way, it will ONLY play audio on the main device (PC) in spite of your phone making noises or playing audio. I tend to disable phone bluetooth, so it isn't an issue for me what connects first anyways. Now, this is a major flaw which may have been addressed in the new firmware update and app but I have not fully tested yet so this is based on months old experience. Last flaw with this. Do not have constant audio playing on -BOTH- devices because it will cause some static to what you are listening to. No idea why this happens but sometimes the music sounds glitchy and I realize it's because my PC is playing music alongside my phone. All it takes is not having something like music playing on the second device and it gets clean. Reboot: it can be done on the power button after holding for over 15 seconds. Be careful NOT to do this if it is not your intention. I have a friend who accidentally did this High resolution: app is glitched if you try to do personalized sound after enabling high resolution. It will ask you to disable high resolution before proceeding. All you have to do is go to standard mode, make your sound profile, then go back and enable High Resolution. Confusions: ANC: some people complain you can't turn off ANC. You sort of can. Old app, on the ANC slide, you put the slider in the middle. Most importantly, the new version of the app now allows to turn off ANC and might possibly increase your battery life. Oh, and some people remark of ANC randomly activating when outside. That is the wind noise reduction activating during air blowing directly to your mics. You can turn it off in ANC settings (you can also adjust transparency during phone calls there) but trust me that you don't want to hear wind transmitted into a headset Auto-answer calls: complaints on this but another reason you need the app to disable it if you don't want it. Aut-connect: some complain that if it moves it will auto connect or cause confusion when they don't know why their bluetooth loud speakers stopped working until they realize the headphones are connected. I personally love auto connect and has never been an issue. I put my headphones away where it won't move at all and once I grab it, boom, just straightforward and smooth connection grab and go. This is a feature of auto off so if you don't want it to be doing this you can either disable auto off (more like sleep) or turn off the headphones directly from the power button (which means you will also have to turn it back on with the button). I don't think of it as a flaw to be honest Discord/meeting calls: This is a big one. There are people mentioning how when they get on discord, their music and game sounds muffled. That is its hands free activating because it believes you are in a call. It prioritizes the call once it is activating its mic. You may have noticed it on your phone before too with music getting muffled. Problem is these then get compared directly to a gaming headset. Most gaming headsets have a usb dongle. Those dongles are designed to give both high quality low latency audio and mic signals at the same time. These? They are bluetooth headsets not specifically designed for gaming but rather for high quality audio. This is not a major fault of the headset. There exists a workaround for this but you will have to disable handsfree and rely on a different mic (which can be a far superior option anyways). To do this - on windows 11, go to settings. Click "bluetooth & devices". Then click on "view more devices" up top to go to a drop down list of devices. Scroll all the way down until you find "more devices and printer settings". Find the M4 headset, right click and go to properties. Click on the hardware tab. On this list, look for Name "Momentum 4 Hands-Free" that is under Type "Sound, Video...". Click once on it then click on properties below. In properties, General tab, click on the blue and yellow shield that says Change Settings. Then go to the Driver tab and Click Disable Driver. Reboot PC. Can be undone in similar method. At this point it has no headset mic active ~specifically~ on the PC (phone should be unaffected) so audio will be clear but now an external mic will be needed. Experiences: Connectivity: people say they have connectivity issues but thankfully it is very rare for me. It has a good distance to it too. I keep up to date with everything on my phone Touchpad: some say it is very sensitive. It is certainly more sensitive than usual but there are exaggerations to it. My hair does not trigger it. Turning my head does not trigger it. I don't trigger it with a hoodie on. I don't wear beanies over it (why would you?) so I cant say anything there. Stretching my arms above my head might trigger and laying my head on the right side might make it think you want to change volume or transparency. But some of these reviews are funny. They are not rated to be water resistant at all (like most headsets) so if rain drops trigger it, actually no, WHY DO YOU EVEN HAVE IT IN THE RAIN? App: the app is fine minus the glitch [refer to High Resolution in Flaws] and has only been improving bit by bit. There's now also a new version which requires a new download that will likely be getting more of a focus on Durability: it is plastic which makes it lighter but thankfully I have not broken anything. I have bumped it into things, dropped it once. I try to treat is as glass so these are rare occurrences. I would not work out in these due to the fact they are not designed to deal with liquid. If problems occur because you work out in these, well that's your fault, but there exist rubber sweat covers to put over the padding to help out a bit. The Sennheisers Momentum 4/Sport earbuds I believe have water resistance and might be worth a look instead if you need a true gym companion Strengths Audio quality: right out of the box, they are great. It has a neutral sound profile while having some attention to bass. There are presets in the app that are decent and it really does not need a bass booster but it exists. To be honest, I would skip everything and go straight for the sound personalization feature in the app. It's very simple to adjust, uses mostly sliders while you listen to audio. And once you are done it will create a setting that somehow manages to be far superior than what's already available in the app. It just cleans up the sound so much more to your liking; the difference is bewildering. Ever since that point, I have not listened to music the same. Just when I thought I was getting bored of music, these revived that love to want to listen to everything again and also motivated me to listen to things I never did before. There is literally pre-Sennheiser and during-Sennheiser eras to me now and am curious to their wired headsets. One thing that will become super noticeable is its soundstage. It spreads the instruments to a degree where you can notice more of everything. Albeit, this can be discombobulating and bassheads might not like the lack of sharp precision but this isn't meant to be your average linear listening experience (the Accentum Plus offers this at a much lower price). To give an example: What is Life by George Harrison. I might prefer it on the more linear style I am used to but these can separate things to the point where it is also directional and you can feel like you are standing at a concert and George is directly in the middle of it all in front of you so it feels more real- similar to as if you are becoming conscious of your own breathing. And in midst of all the chaos, you can still clearly hear George's voice and you notice ALL of the instruments more. It first gave me goosebumps how much it changed the song. Some songs are designed to be "linear" which could possibly affect emotional type of songs negatively but from a musical perspective, my goodness it is incredible. Now I just go back to see what music I am used to that changes with these (hint: a lot). Electronic/hip-hop music perhaps is the exception but this gives such clarity to detail that it is still a great listen- one thing is for sure these headsets love when there is a band setup (Bjork, the Roots, Gorillaz, etc). Sound quality is the biggest reason you go for these. Comfort: I can go on for a while without my ears hurting or anything. Also these don't heat up much and has proper adjustability for bigger heads Look: I have the black with copper ring and they are absolutely gorgeous. I question the longevity of the cloth on the headstrap but it makes it more beautiful than it has any business being for a plastic headset Features: ANC is better than I expected. It does its job, and though it might not lead in this category, the differences are so small compared to the competition. Also drowned out what I needed it to during plane trips. And hearthrough, although I have had better, they will more than suffice to the point where I rarely have any issues hearing people. The fact that it is good at both of these is amazing for value. Battery: they can go up to nearly 60 hours, especially in standard mode. Not an exaggeration. I can go days without charging them. For this quality of headset, I don't think much of the competition comes close to this. In fact this is the mind blowing part because most other bluetooth headsets don't sound anywhere as good as these and they have half the battery life if not worse. No fears when travelling that it will die on me. In fact, it lasted me an entire week's trip Surprises Gaming: it has low enough latency. Combine that with that very clean audio and surprising directional audio this already has and wow, it performs quite well. I can actually spot details better and sometimes extra details I wasn't aware like I remember distinctly many months ago when I played Paladins, not only was I able to hear behind a wall slightly above me, but I realized it was subtle high heel sounds. I am not saying this will replace top of the line gaming headsets like steel series but if you have these and not a gaming headset, these will more than suffice. Charging: I was already enamored by the battery life but the fact is, it handles charging nearly as well. You can get hours worth per 10 minutes of charging and around an hour and a half or so it will be fully charged. That may not sound great but half of that will net you 30 hours of life which is STILL more than the competition. And the other surprise was that I accidentally discovered on the PC that you can still use it while charging - it simply appears as a different sound output you have to switch to. I thought it was weird how multiple momentum 4's appeared but when I clicked the other output, music started booming through it again. I was shocked. It already has a super long battery life with quick charging. It doesn't need it yet it has it. I have never had a headset that allows that with USB-C. Sennheiser were practically showing off at this point. So I would get a super long cable to make this comfortable during charging if you think this is a feature you will be using These are already the greatest -bluetooth- headsets I have ever owned under the $500 mark. I have tried out direct competitors Airpods Max (best hearthrough and good clean quality) and Sony Xm5's (amazing features and stylish) but the M4 felt like a no brainer. The max have poor battery life (under 20 hours) meanwhile these can reach close to triple that. The XM5's are light and so smooth with their features and touchpad (I loved speak to chat) but their fragility comes into question as they are notorious for the hinges breaking no matter how good you take care of them while the M4's mostly have earpads wearing down (easily replaceable). Meanwhile, guess what? The M4's imo sound better than both of them, are more comfortable than both, and can be found MUCH cheaper than both as I have seen it as low as $190. Even if, say, the Bowers & Wilkins PX8 might have slightly better audio and a better build, it's not a major difference so it is imo horrifically overpriced while this just has much higher value after sales and is an easier recommendation Overall, it absolutely bothers me just how overrated the other headsets on Amazon usually are meanwhile these get a bad impression. If you are a fan of music and you want to improve that experience with the bluetooth format at great affordability, it doesn't get better than these ... show more

Disappointed with the reliability and quality
Color: Teal
I ended up returning these headphones after owning them for less than a month. The right side completely stopped working while I was listening to music. The touch controls on the right ear cup still worked, but there was no audio coming from that side. I tried reconnecting, updating, and factory resetting the headphones, but nothing fixed the issue. I also had a few smaller issues while using them. The automatic noise canceling adjustments would make a beeping sound every time the headphones changed settings, which became annoying when it happened multiple times within a short period. The touch controls would also occasionally pick up my hair and accidentally pause music or change settings. My biggest disappointment was the overall feel of the headphones. For the price, I expected them to feel more premium and sturdy. They are lightweight and comfortable, but they did not feel as durable as I expected from headphones in this price range. The best way I can describe it is that they felt closer to a cheaper pair of wireless headphones rather than a premium product. The sound quality was excellent. The vocals and instruments sounded clear, and the noise canceling worked very well at blocking out most noise. However, for the price I was disappointed and would have a hard time recommending these headphones based on the reliability issues I experienced. The sound quality was impressive, but the durability did not meet my expectations for a pair of headphones in this price range. ... show more

Fairly comfortable, sound and battery life. Sound canceling is ok. Touch controls = bad
Color: Black
The good: - The Sound is great in my opinion, I'm not an audiophile, but I do enjoy quality sound. - Battery life is amazing. I'm talking days without charging using all day. - Mostly comfortable, which is something I was concerned with. - Bluetooth seems reliable, occasional disconnects, but I attribute that to my tablet as it's range seems limited. - Fit and Finish: I've had quite a few over the ear headphones and Senheiser put thought into this and did a decent job in my opinion so I thought I'd put at least a little thought into my response to this. - The cushions on the cups going around the ears are comfortable. They're soft, and just cushy enough. They did a great job with this. Many headsets are often too hard, not enough cushion, a weird material, or just not comfortable for some other reason. Maybe I'm just too picky... - Depth of cups plus cushion is okay, and they'er angled to fit the profile of your ear instead of just a flat cup. My ears don't stick out a ton, but they do a little bit. I've never had a over the ear headphones that didn't cause chafing or iritation over time. Unfortunately Senheisers are no different here. They do have a softer foam in the cups than I've seen in other cups, and I'm sure the angled cups help so I give them credit for that. It would be nice if the angle were a little deeper, or if they had some sort of add on to extension for those with wider ear bases but still they are more comfortable then most other headsets I've had. - The band is decent. I don't know about you, but after wearing headphones for a while that band can eventually start to feel like it's hold a bag of rocks above your skull. Senheiser uses what I assume is a silicon material with an okay amount of what I assume is memory foam. I think they could have used slightly more dense memory foam or maybe a little bit more of whatever they use now. They certainly could have had more around the corners of the band. I still feel that band against my skull and wish I didn't. It is better than many other headsets with little to no cushion or the crappy elastic band that wears out after a week and ends up being crappy padding against metal. - The finish itself is decent. The cups sleek and clean. No significant gaps, and it doesn't feel cheaply made. The top is a cloth material that is nice, but can attract pet hair and lint. The Senheiser symbols on the band are small and ever so slightly sharp. I doubt enough to cut you unless you wack them pretty hard by accident, but they could have softened that a touch more I think. For those that are blind, there's a braille L on the inside of the left band denoting the left side for you, I have never seen this before or at least never noticed it, so I'm giving Seheiser props for this. The bad: - The touch controls on the right ear cup are awful, I'm not talking about the gestures and how they work, they're WAY too sensitive. I wear hoodies a lot, and my hood would set them off constantly and eventually I just disabled it all together so I never even had a chance to really learn the gestures. - They're a little heavy. Not terrible, just more than I'd prefer, but that's the cost of quality and battery life I guess. The beige: - Noise canceling isn't bad, per se, I think they could have done better, especially at this price point. - Price: I'm torn on the price. I like the headphones especially the battery life and sound. The comfort is better than most, but mostly around the ear pads. Improvements where I could see fit the price point: Better padding in the band Better foam in the cups Make extension or something for wider ear base Better noise canceling Less Sensitive touch pad, a more limited the touch pad area, and maybe limit the material that can interact with the touch pad. Some asides. The android app works on de-googled android devices. This is 100% a plus to me. I wish it were opensource, or they made it available outside of google play store, but can't get everything you wish for I guess. ... show more
