Design
The fit of the headphones.
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
With a detachable cable you can use alternative cables, and if the cable is pulled it will pop out instead of breaking.
Ingress Protection (IP) rating
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless)
IPX4
The first number of the IP rating refers to protection against dust, while the second number refers to protection against liquid. E.g. a first number of 6 denotes that it is completely dustproof, and a second number of 7 denotes that the device can withstand full immersion in water.
Foldable devices are easier to transport and take up less storage space.
The cable is designed to minimize tangling.
The device comes with its own special case or pouch, which is useful for safe transportation.
The device is designed in a way that allows sound to go out through the back of the ear cups, which usually have vents or perforations. This design provides very natural and accurate sound.
The device is dustproof and water-resistant. Water-resistant devices can resist the penetration of water, such as powerful water jets, but not being submerged into water.
Sound quality
This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
Devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. They also have more bass and clear high notes.
The device sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal which reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
Power
The device's battery life (when in use) as given by the manufacturer. With a longer battery life you have to charge the device less often.
The time it takes to fully charge the battery.
The USB Type-C features reversible plug orientation and cable direction.
An indicator shows you when the device has low battery.
It supports a wireless charging standard such as Qi. To charge the device, you simply put it down on a compatible charging pad.
Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.
The battery can be recharged and used over again.
The battery is removable and can be replaced by the user if broken.
Connectivity
The connectivity type of the headphones.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
aptx Adaptive is an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that is developed by Qualcomm. It has a variable bit rate (between 279kbps and 420kbps), which means it can adjust the bit rate for different scenarios, such as listening to HD audio or reducing interference from other devices.
aptX is a codec used for transmitting audio wirelessly with Bluetooth. It is developed by Qualcomm, and supports 16-bit audio at a bit rate of 384kbps.
LDAC is a codec developed by Sony for Bluetooth audio. It is capable of a very high bitrate of 990kbps, which provides high resolution audio. It can also automatically adjust to a lower bitrate of 330kbps or 660kbps to increase stability.
aptX Low Latency is a codec developed by Qualcomm. It uses Bluetooth 5.0 technology to provide low latency audio (around 40ms), which is useful when you want to avoid audio lag (e.g. when playing games).
aptX HD is an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that is developed by Qualcomm. It supports high quality 24-bit audio (at a bit rate of 576kbps).
aptX Lossless is an audio codec for Bluetooth devices that is developed by Qualcomm. It supports high quality 16-bit/44.1kHz audio (at a maximum bit rate of 1200kbps). This codec provides CD-quality audio without any loss of data.
AAC is a codec that is used for Bluetooth audio. It supports 24-bit audio at 250kbps. Because it uses psychoacoustic modeling, it can provide better results than other codecs at a similar bit rate.
Features
These microphones are designed to filter out background noise from the desired sound. Especially useful in noisy environments.
Ambient sound mode uses microphones to pass through ambient noises so that they can still be heard. It’s useful when you want to listen to music but also be aware of what’s happening around you, for example when you’re jogging but still want to be able to hear traffic.
Sensors can detect when they are removed from your ears so that the music is paused, saving battery life.
More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
The device has an option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device.
Multipoint allows you to link to more Bluetooth devices and switch between them. For example you can easily switch calls from one device to another without having to manually disconnect and reconnect.
There is a control panel on the device body, so you can easily access the volume control or remote without having to interact with a cable or another device it's connected to.
A headset is one headphone or pair with a built-in microphone. Headsets can be used for apps that require communication i.e. Skype, games with voice chat, mobile phones, etc.
There is a control panel on the cable, so you can easily operate the device without having to interact with it.
Miscellaneous
This audio plug allows you to connect to a range of devices which use a standard 3.5mm jack.
The lowest frequency that the mic can pick up. Better for recording bass.
The highest frequency that the mic can pick up. Better for recording treble.

Eh tenido muchos audífonos de diferentes marcas pero los momentum 4 pasa por encima de ellos sin inconvenientes. La relación precio/calidad es sin lugar a dudas una de las mejores. Vale la pena invertir un poco más en estos audífonos... Graves profundos, agudos clarísimos y medios fenomenales, las voces se oyen maravillosamente bien... Los instrumentos son una delicia escucharlos por acá... Amigos se los recomiendo al 100%

Keine Frage: -Super Klang -Super ANC -Sieht gut aus. Aber: - Leider hat das Gerät nur einen Micro-Klinkenanschluss. Ein 3,5mm- Klinkenanschluss währe besser gewesen. - Die mitgelieferten Kabel sind deutlich zu kurz. 2m- Kabellänge (vorallem für die Nutzung des Klinken-Kabels) sollten bei einem solchen Produkt mit drin sein. - Die App für Android benötigt eine ganze bis 1,5 Minuten zum Starten. Für die Ladezeit und Größe der App hat Diese einen zu geringen Funktionsumfang. Vor-allem, da man (glücklicherweise) Noise-Canceling am Gerät selber steuern kann. Zudem benötigt diese meinen Standort, wofür es nicht den Hauch eines sinnvollen Grundes (außer Spionage natürlich) gibt. Die App habe ich direkt wieder deinstalliert. - Das Headset schaltet sich von selbst ein und aus. Warum kann man nicht selber bestimmen, wann das Gerät eingeschaltet und wann ausgeschaltet ist? - PC-Support: Es gibt keine App für Windows/Mac/Linux. Man kann ich keine Updates per USB durchführen. Das Gerät spielt nun nach zweiwöchiger Nutzung keinen Ton mehr ab. Weder über Klinke, noch über Bluetooth. Wenn ich es über Bluetooth verbinde zeigt es dennoch einen vollen Akkustand an. Zudem habe ich noch keine Rückmeldung vom Sennheiser-Support erhalten. Einfach nur Traurig.
