   Ignore the complaints, these are the best.
   Let me say upfront I am a long-time audiophile. I’ve been immersed in all things high-end audio for more than 40 years, and listened to a lot of stuff, including headphones. Until recently, I’ve avoided all BT/wireless headphones because they presented too much compromise for my tastes. Noise cancellation adversely effected audio quality and/or gave me a headache. Bluetooth simply didn’t cut it for prolonged enjoyment because of the lower, compressed resolution and frequency.But, that all changed in late 2022. On a whim, I tried the newish Sony WH-1000XM5 and was surprised at how good they sounded. The noise cancellation was excellent with little of the rushing elevator sound–and boy, the sound was terrific. For the first time I felt like using a wireless headphone wasn’t a big step-down from wired. The M5’s soundstage was truly impressive, rivaling my Focal Clear MG wired ‘phones. Plus, the M5s were much lighter, more portable, and a bit more fun. The new Sony’s were a magnitude better than the older Sonys, as well as anything wireless I’d heard before.That got me wondering: If the Sony’s are this good, maybe something by Bowers and Wilkins or Sennheiser would be even better. After all, Sony caters to the mass market, which is generally not that discerning when it comes to audio. Whereas, B&W and Sennheiser typically aim more for the smaller, high-end, audiophile market. So, I started comparing the MX5 to the new B&W Px7 S2 and new Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless.Here’s what I found:In the past, like the Sonys, the B&Ws and Sennheiser wireless ‘phones were disappointments, falling far short (for me) of their wired, non-NC counterparts. No longer, because the new models are dramatically better. Without going into lots of detail (something audiophiles love to do), both the Px7 S2 and the Momentum 4 are a leap forward in every way than their predecessors. Are they better than the MX5, yes, but not by much. As others have said, the MX5 has better software, better NC, is very portable, and pretty comfortable. For many, the slight compromise in audio quality may not be a big deal. I could easily live with the MX5. However, my priority is sound quality since I seldom use NC, and, even if the software of the B&Ws and Sennheisers is only acceptable.Therefore, it came down to the Px7 S2 vs. Momentum 4 for me. The Px7 S2 is much nicer to look at, exuding high quality. The Momentum 4, not so much. In fact, they look like an MX5 knock-off with a few upscale touches. The software of both the Px7 S2 and Momentum 4 is mediocre at best, albeit functional.Now about the sound. The Px7 S2 sound really, really good. Bass, Midrange, Treble are all top notch, if not perfect. They’re fun to listen to, with a wide soundstage and energetic dynamics. That said, they’re tuned to emphasize the lower frequencies a bit too much for my tastes. At first, this makes music and voices more vibrant and robust, but, over time, it gets tiring, and you’re realize what you’re hearing isn’t all that accurate. If I hadn’t listened to the Momentum 4s, I probably would have been quite happy with the Px7 S2.But, I did listen to the Momentum 4. It edges out thePx7 S2 and MX5 with its overall excellent balance and accuracy. Nothing is exaggerated: voices, instruments, timbre, tone are all just right to my ears. Maybe not as exciting as the Px7 S2 upon first listen, but the Momentum 4s seduce you the more you use them. There’s no need for lots of equalization, or fiddling to get the sound right; its all been done at the factory. Besides the accurate representation of voices and instruments, the Momentum 4s are monsters when it comes to soundstage. The placement of everything is wide, yet accurate. You can feel the space and air between different instruments, and where the singer is in the studio or stage. Layering and detail are pretty amazing considering these are bluetooth, closed-back ‘phones. Sennheiser (Actually: Sonova, because Sennheiser sold their headphone division to this maker of hearing aids in 2021.) did their homework when it came to the Momentum 4. Plus, that 60 hours of battery life is icing on the cake.Let me say this in conclusion. You won’t go wrong with any of these three headphones. They’re all great. I preferred the Momentum 4 because it represents the overall most satisfying package for the money, but you might prefer the Px7 S2, or the MX5, more. One last word, regarding the buggy software of the Momentum 4: I found none. With the latest updates, Sennheiser/Sonova seems have fixed the issues of poor connectivity and consistency. All system functions worked perfectly the entire time I’ve been using the Momentum 4s. Enjoy!

   Sennheiser is the brand that you’ve been looking for but never found.
   This is the brand that you have been looking for. Between the beats and the bose and the JBL and the…..whatever else, THIS is the brand you have been looking for. Between the quality of the materials used for the headphones, the incredible EQ straight out of the box, high-fidelity sound, and amazing battery life, Sennheiser is the under-the-radar audio brand you want. They’re not flashy, they don’t advertise heavily like other brands, but what they do do (hehe) is create incredibly well made and awesome sounding headphones. Sennheiser is well known by audiophiles who want to enjoy their music the way it was intended by the artist. They fit great, they are noise cancelling and even feature a pass-thru mode, and have large drivers that deliver incredible sound quality. In my experience, the IEMs and over-the-ear headphones have been nothing but amazing. The price is NOT indicative of the quality of the headphones; I mean that by saying you are not overpaying for anything. Sennheiser overbuilt these headphones to be competitive with the (redacted fruit company’s) over-the-ear headphones and they are 300 bucks cheaper. They look sleek, are easy to control, and work great with any kind of smartphone or literally anything that can attach itself to bluetooth. Pairing is not an issue and are able to be transported with ease.

   Sounds good but has connectivity issues
   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 😍. White and gray never looked so amazing.The touch controls are a nice feature too. I enjoy using them. It’s not complicated not one bit in my personal opinion and experience.The sound quality is pretty good.I don’t know how to intelligently break down frequencies so you’ll have to find an expert who heard these babies to go into detail.I did check out some of my favorite Southern Rap songs to hear how that bass hit and I can say that I wasn’t disappointed and the highs were jamming right too while listening to hi hats in TRAP MUSICBut I am a bit worried about the longevity of these very pricey beauties.The R, L, and headphone name that are locating inside of the ear cup will eventually wear off and that’s the very least of what I worry about. I’m also knowing that the ear cups themselves will wear out as well and start to rip and tear apart just like the other headphones that I’ve spent over $100+ bucks on! Limited warranty’s usually don’t cover replacing worn out ear cups as long as there’s no shortage in them which could cause you to not be able to hear equally out of both of them.The connectivity issues also can be so annoying at times and these are my second pair by the way!I returned the first pair because of connectivity problems.The headphones may often disconnect wirelessly while I’m listening to music or watching something on YouTube.I get so aggravated about it!REVISED UPDATE (1/4/24):I gravitated towards these set of headphones🎧 because of the reputation of the brands name and just by the appearance alone.

It’s not complicated not one bit in my personal opinion and experience but sometimes the functionality is not very accurate.There’s been times I’ve pressed or tapped on the right cup and it would not pause the music especially after the headphones 🎧 randomly disconnects for some reason and I would have to power them off and power them back on then reconnect them AGAIN for them to do some type of reset.The connectivity isssues can be so annoying at times and these are my second pair by the way! 🙄I returned the first pair because of connectivity problems.The headphones may often disconnect wirelessly while I’m listening to music or watching something on YouTube then I would have to hold the button that under the right ear cup until the headphones says connected, smh 🤦🏾‍♂️These headphones are too pricy to have this kind of bug issue I MUST SAY!!!!The sound quality is pretty good, though.That’s why I bought them again after I returned the first pair hoping that I just had a bad set of headphones but I’m currently facing the same problem.I don’t know how to intelligently break down frequencies so you’ll have to find an expert who hear these babies to go into detail.I did check out some of my favorite Southern Rap songs to hear how that bass hit and I can say that I wasn’t disappointed 👌🏾The lows, mids, and highs sound really great in my opinion.I am a bit worried about the longevity of these very pricey beauties.The R, L, and headphone name that are locating inside of the ear cup will eventually wear off and that’s the very least of what I worry about.

   Moja córka jest z nich zadowolona, ale ma małą głowę (chodzi mi o wielkość czaszki). Ja mam dużo większą głowę i dla mnie słuchawki okazały się o wiele za ciasne, a nie posiadają żadnej regulacji, która umożliwiłaby dostosowanie siły ścisku do rozmiarów głowy. Jednym słowem zamawiając trzeba liczyć się z tym, że okażą się zbyt ciasne. Natomiast jakość dźwięku bez zarzutu. Pod tym względem spełniły oczekiwania.

   I love it. Incredible sound and solid build quality. Battery life is outstanding. The only the issue I am facing is little bit stuttering noise due to unstable connections when connected to my laptop. With my iphone, I don’t face this issue. Overall a very satisfied with my purchase. You might feel little bit heat buildup around you ear since the surface contact of the headphone pads to the ears is little bit wide but very comfortable to wear it as the padding is excellent. So for indoor usage its fine; wouldn’t recommend for workouts.

   One of the rare headphones that last more than 30 hours. Bass is really nice since I was mainly using earphones prior.

   He probado infinidad de audífonos (yo creo que más de 20 fácilmente), desde alámbricos a inalámbricos y tengo que decir que entre todos, estos se sitúan en mi top 5 de todos juntos a los Sennheiser HD600, B&W PX8, Focal Bathys, Philips Fidelio X3 y estos (en calidad de sonido).Me parecen estéticamente los audífonos más feos de todos, son horribles, hasta los Airpods Max que no me gustan son más bonitos. La calidad de construcción es buena pero los materiales son puro plástico barato. Lo más bonito es la tela de la diadema y el colchón que tiene debajo.El sonido cuando los sacas de la caja es horrible, puro bajo alrededor de los 150-300 hz que opaca y quita brillo a todo el conjunto y eso que se supone que es el sonido “neutro” de fábrica. La verdadera MAGIA está cuando utilizas la función “Sound Personalization” de la app. Es el día y la noche, todo sale a relucir como se debe, encontrando detalles, brillo y aire a cada canción. SÍ O SÍ necesitas utilizar esta función. Los modos de eq son pésimos, es difícil encontrar un eq que funcione para mi, así que usa por favor el “sound personalization” y vas a escuchar de nuevo cada canción que conozcas.La separación instrumental de fábrica es buenísima, distingues de donde viene cada instrumento y el sonido estéreo es muy perceptible de izquierda a derecha. Subiré captura de como está mi Sound Personalization si te sirve de algo. Ahí el subbajo está muy presente, los bajos medios están muy abajo, lo medios resaltan mucho y los agudos están por arriba dándole aire y apertura al sonido. De verdad escucharás nuevos detalles que no habías escuchado en tus canciones y todo en un audífono inalámbrico. Y lo mejor de todo a parte del sonido es el precio, a $5,200 mxn vale cada centavo invertido.
