Our Verdict
Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless
Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus
The Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless have a premium build and feel slightly more comfortable than the Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus. The MOMENTUM 4 Wireless use touch controls on both ear cups and have noticeably better ANC performance and a more consistent sound between wears. Both headphones offer EQ and presets for finessing their sound and aptX codecs. The ACCENTUM Plus' mic sounds a bit worse but handles environmental noise better. You also only get touch controls on the right ear cup instead of on both ear cups, and their build quality isn't as premium.
