Our Verdict
Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless
Sennheiser ACCENTUM Wireless
The Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless headphones are more premium than the Sennheiser ACCENTUM Wireless. The MOMENTUM 4 are more comfortable and better built. Their ANC system can also block out more background noise. They last longer on a single charge and support wired connectivity. That said, the ACCENTUM are still a decent option, particularly if you're on a smaller budget. They have most of the same features as the MOMENTUM 4 but don't perform quite as well overall.

Thanks for your question. I agree, the Wired Connection box is a little confusing. We’ll amend that shortly. In this case, we mean that a wired analog connection doesn’t give you access to the microphone capabilities, but a wired USB connection does. I hope that helps!
The Wired Connection section says that you can’t use the mic with a wired connection, but then the PC Compatibility section says using the USB connection enables the microphone. Could this be clarified please?
