Introduction

Sennheiser launched its first Momentum True Wireless in-ear headphones almost exactly five years ago. But while it doesn’t seem to have taken all that long to get to the product’s fourth generation, the differences between the original Momentum and this latest version go a long way to explaining how wireless audio technology has advanced in all directions.

And nothing happens in isolation, of course – Sennheiser’s hardly the only brand trying to advance the art of the wireless earbud. The original Momentum were competitive in 2019, sure – do the fourth generation have what it takes in 2024?
