Out of my favourite 5 Bluetooth headphones, the cheapest just got cheaper

For me, the top 5 Bluetooth headphones are the Sennheiser HDB 630, Apple AirPods Max, Bose QC Ultra, Sony WH-1000XM6 and the Sennheiser Momentum 4 – as you can see in my list of the best Bluetooth headphones right now.

And out of all of them, the one that I would first recommend to the majority of people, is the cheapest one – the Momentum 4. Sure, it doesn't have the best ANC, and it doesn't have the most recent technology (it got released on August 2022). But when it comes to the full package, and the price, it's pretty hard to argue. Right now you can get it for $227 over at Amazon, and that's a great deal!

But what do you get? A beautifully designed headphone (especially when you get it in cream and tan finish), a decent EQ app experience, and a really good stock sound out of the box. It's still a little way away from the best budget audiophile headphone, but we're talking about stylish convenience here. When it comes to that, the Momentum are still my go to recommendations, even four years after their release!

Sennheiser Momentum 4: was $449 now $227 at Amazon

These are really convenient, great-sounding headphones that come with all you'd expect in a modern Bluetooth headphone – ANC, transparency mode, an app that offers a decent EQ to tweak the sound profile, and a stylish finish. There are much cheaper, but if you want one of the top 5 wireless headphones right now, this is by far the cheapest at $227.

Why the Momentum 4 is still the best option for most

As you can see from the photo above, I also have the AirPods Max. In fact, I have all the Top 5 Bluetooth headphones. And although I would say that objectively the best one is the Sennheiser HDB 630, that one costs $500! The Momentum 4 is more than half of that, and it's still a great-sounding headphone.

If you want the absolute best ANC, I'd go for the Sony XM6; of you want the lightest, the Bose QC Ultra is the one for you. If you love Apple (but don't love the freedom of EQ), then the AirPods Max is for you (though I straight up don't recommend them).

But if you value great battery life, the Momentum 4 give you 60 hours to work with. They have decent ANC, they're not that weightier than the light Ultras, and I find that I can tweak the EQ to make them sound very nice indeed.

At $227, they're a no brainer for me.
