QUESTION
Should I buy the Sony WH-1000XM5 or Sennheiser Momentum 4?
To decide between these two premium wireless headphones, look at what you value most for daily listening:
- Buy the Sony WH-1000XM5 if you want a lighter headset and especially strong noise cancelling. At 254 grams, they’re noticeably lighter than the Sennheisers, which can make them easier to wear for long commutes or office use.
- Buy the Sennheiser Momentum 4 if you care more about sound quality and battery life. They’re generally praised for better tuning/sound quality out of the box, and their 62.3-hour continuous playback is far longer than the Sony’s 27 hours. They’re also described as more comfortable and better built, though they are heavier at 292 grams.
