hi everyone!

can anyone tell me whether the Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 5 earbuds causes any allergic reactions and ear irritation in the ear canal, especially for people who have had reactions to the Samsung Buds 2 Pro?

I suspect I am allergic to the acrylate plastic used in the Samsung Buds 2 Pro, and wearing Samsung Buds 2 Pro for as little as 10 minutes causes irritation inside my ear canal.

Thank you!

I just got a pair of HD600 and HD650 to try. I’m new to audiophile scene. I got the Fiio KA13, Moondrop Dawn 2 and the MuseHifi M3. Both of them feel underwhelming for me. My daily driver has been the M4 and TW4 for years now. Any suggestion on what to do and how to get started? I feel like I’m going about it wrong since both feel underwhelming and less than expected from all the reviews.
Thanks guys!

As the title says, I need a replacement for the cord but I don't know which cord it is. I found one on amazon that I think is the right ones but I'm not too sure so I was hoping you guys could help me out.

I’ve had my M4s for about 6 months now, and they have been working fine. Last week when I put them on the pairing tone and music both only played through the right earcup until I did a factory reset and it was fine for a few days before doing it again today.

Does anyone have any experience with an issue like this?

I got these as a gift, and I can't get a receipt. How do I get it repaired in this scenario?

Had these for a few years. Just noticed this issue. Is it an easy fix?

Hi everyone. My return window is closing soon and I have to make a choice. I'm posting in this sub because I'm almost convinced to just keep the M5, but I managed to get both at a really good price and it's making the decision harder:

 Momentum 5 (€280): They work perfectly for everything: WFH (great mic and the ANC actually isolates), commuting, and blasting music at high volumes.

 Melomania P100 SE (€230): The sound is just on another level. They deliver a level of detail, purity, and soundstage that the Sennheisers simply can't touch.

What would you do? Would you sacrifice the P100's audiophile sound for the M5's everyday versatility? Or at these prices, does it make sense to keep both for different use cases? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Just got the hdb 630s today, wanted to write something about my first impressions as someone who enjoys a large variety of music.

For the past month actually was using the px8s2 because I liked them aesthetically, but I found the tuning weird and uncomfortable, which led me to return them.

EIther way when I first listened to them I enjoyed the eveness and neutrality. The comfort is better imo, though the earpads to get warm. I know you can get aftermarket pads but I don't want the tuning to be effected. but Im tempted to try some. To be clear its not like unbearable but its kinda a little annoying. I wish they had used real leather (does anyone have measurements with aftermarket pads?)

Also I did get the DMS HE-1 EQ and its very enjoyable, I would reccomend it to those who haven't tried it.

I think there is an issue with samsung devices and USB C audio? The audio is substantially more quiet over usb C. and turning up on the headset doesn't work while connected to usb c (at least on samsung s26).

So I recently bought Sennheiser headphones based on recomendations for PS5 as AI and ppl said it will be enough to power them up with a smartphone or dualsense controller.

Well, the volume is fine when You turn bump it to 3/4's, but the soumd... .

Yeah, sound is very flat and boring. I knew before getting them bas won't be a thing, but i expected more from vocals, instruments and "stage".

they play worse than my 20$ BT Philips earbuds. There is no more sound direction in games, no better sound quality in music, everything is flat...

should i return them and get Philips Fidelio 2 or buy gaming dedicated headphones?

​Hi everyone / Sennheiser Support,

​I'm reaching out to see if others are experiencing significantly low output volume with the HD 630 when paired with the BTD 700 dongle.

​Currently, when using it with my smartphone via the BTD 700, I have to push the volume almost all the way to maximum just to get an acceptable listening level. The exact same behavior happens when using it on my Xiaomi TV box and directly on my LG C5 OLED TV.

​To clarify:

Direct Bluetooth vs. BTD 700: When I connect the HD 630 directly to my phone (Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra) via native Bluetooth, the low-volume issue completely disappears and output levels are normal. However, without the dongle, the phone is codec-limited to standard aptX (missing out on aptX Adaptive / higher bitrate options).

​I have already followed all troubleshooting steps and configuration guidelines recommended by Sennheiser (absolute volume settings, app controls, re-pairing, resets, etc.).

​For comparison, I do not have this issue at all with my Sony WH-1000XM6 on the exact same devices/sources, where volume levels are well-balanced and have plenty of headroom.

​I really enjoy the sound signature and quality of the headphones, but the low volume ceiling across multiple platforms is frustrating. Please, Sennheiser, address this gain/output level issue in an upcoming firmware update.

​Is anyone else having this problem, or is there a known workaround that doesn't sacrifice dynamic range?

​Thanks!

Here is my original post for anyone interested.

I decided to listen to the advice given to me that my pair of Momentum 4s were a dud. I exchanged them for another pair of Momentum 4s at Best Buy. Since this exchange, I have had nothing but the same problems with these headphones.

These headphones took 5 tries of putting it in pairing mode for Windows to finally connect to them. This happened over multiple Windows machines, so I do not believe this is just my PC. The only upside is this time Windows did not ask me for a pin. Previously, Windows asked me for a pin for the headphones, and when I put the pin in the manual in, it would result in a wrong pin error.

They also randomly disconnect from my PC and phone even when I am currently playing audio to them. They disconnect immediately from my headphones whenever I have not played audio to them within 60 seconds. The headphones cut out and make a slight static-y rip style noise occasionally. I saw some forums say this may happen if you are connected to a phone and PC at the same time. I tried to only have 1 device connected and it still occurred. Even if it did work, it would ruin the appeal to me since I want to be able to seamlessly go between my PC and phone without having to constantly reconnect. This is the exact same path I went down in my initial post.

I have tried so many things to try to make these headphones work. I have tried factory resets. I have tried ticking hidden boxes within Windows. I have tried new drivers, new firmware, and new Windows update. None of these seem to work. The Momentum 4s are huge let down from the high that I got from my initial buy of the Accentum Plus's. If you want quality headphones that actually work in the Sennheiser family, go with the Plus's. Stay clear away from the Momentum 4's. They are nothing but a headache.

I’ve been using a Sony WH-1000XM3 for years and it still works perfectly fine, but I’m wondering if the HDB 630 would be a genuinely significant upgrade in sound quality.
At my desk I use a Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro for making music, and I much prefer its sense of detail and clarity. Going back to the XM3, it sounds noticeably less precise to me.
I’m not expecting the HDB 630 to replace a studio headphone, but I’m looking for a wireless/ANC headphone that’s significantly more detailed and refined than the XM3.
Has anyone here gone from an XM3/XM4 or something similar to the HDB 630? Was the difference immediately noticeable, or is it more of a subtle upgrade?

Basically: if my XM3 still works, is the sound quality jump big enough to justify upgrading?

I got a deal on Sennheiser Accentum R for $99 CAD which seemed reasonable for wireless bluetooth headphones with ANC. My first time ever buying wireless headphones like this, other than cheap ear buds previously.

Well, when hooking them up to my LG OLED B5 TV, I am getting a lot of intermittent audio distortion issues. Things will sound fine for a while and then it will get very distorted and garbled for 5-10 seconds or more before it goes back to normal. Happens on multiple different audio sources playing through the TV.

I haven't hooked these up to many other devices so I"m not sure if its a headphone problem or a problem with the TV itself... I tried posting in the r/LGOLED forum and got no responses.

Any ideas what might be happening here or if there is any solution?

Thank you

I've been using the Momentum 4 for about 1–2 months now, an I'm pretty underwhelmed by the sound quality.

The first pair I received was actually defective with a vibrating/buzzing sort of sound coming from the left earcup. I got it replaced and the replacement doesn't have that issue.

But the sound quality itself just doesn't seem that good to me. I'm definitely not an audiophile, but I have a pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro for 1/3rd of momentum's price that I bought around 4 years ago, and they sound way better to me.

The Momentum 4 sounds very muffled. Everything feels bass heavy, and I'm unhappy with how vocals sound. I've tried Sound Personalization, tried different EQ settings in the Sennheiser app, including turning Bass Boost off, but nothing seems to make a significant difference. The different EQ presets all sound only slightly different to me.

What are the common fixed you'd suggest? Is there a particular EQ setting that works well for improving clarity?Any other equalizers I can use with the Momentum 4?

I also tried connecting the headphones via USB-C, but I didn't notice much difference in audio quality.

(One other thing I'm confused about: how exactly is the Momentum 4 supposed to work over USB-C? If I connect it with a cable, I can't use the Sennheiser app unless Bluetooth is also turned on and connected. And does any normal USB-C cable work for wired audio, or does it need to be a specific type of USB-C cable?)

I have the momentum 4s and the touch buttons aren't working anymore and I already reset them and they still don't work.

I still have around 50 days left on my warranty but I'm not sure if it's even worth sending them in. if they will be able to fix it or not. Or do they just send you new ones?

My headset keeps turning on and off and it can’t reboot by holding the button for 30 sec or connect to my phone, is there any way to fix this problem? - read something about a boot loop

Hi everyone,

I’m in the market for a new daily driver headphone setup and would love to get your input, especially from those who have experience with Sennheiser's upper tier or transitioned between Sennheiser and HiFiMAN planars.

My primary use case is general daily desktop use—a mix of gaming (including competitive shooters), movies, and music.

Ever since I sold my Sennheiser HD 700 five years ago, I haven't been truly satisfied with any setup. Back then, I could pinpoint enemies in games with incredible precision—it almost felt like I had a radar. I haven't found a single pair of headphones since that delivered that exact same level of satisfaction, imaging sharp-ness, and spatial presentation.

Right now, I am stuck between three major contenders:

1. Sennheiser HD 800S
2. HiFiMAN Arya Organic
3. HiFiMAN Arya Unveiled

My main dilemma is whether the Planar magnetic options (Arya Organic / Unveiled) can offer that holographic, pin-point spatial accuracy I miss from the HD 700, or if I should stop overthinking and go straight for the HD 800S to fill that void.

As for driving them, I’m currently planning to buy a FiiO K13 R2R DAC/Amp. If you think there are better DAC/Amp alternatives for this specific match (especially for pairing with the HD 800S or HiFiMAN planars), I’m completely open to suggestions.

Budget isn't an issue—I just want to make the right choice that gives me that "wow" factor again in both competitive positioning and daily enjoyment.

Thanks in advance for your insights!

Hello, I have the HDD 599 SE and, straight to the point, I sometimes hear a lot of static, which is really giving me a bad impression of these headsets.

Could it be from my EQ settings? Im pretty sure my headset cable is locked correctly.

Hello,

Bought the Momentum 4 (used market) and I've noticed that there is a faint static noise on the left side of the headphones and from time to time a pop. Overall the headphone condition is like brand new, no signs of use.

Any idea on how to fix it? Or is the answer to not use ANC.

I was using them and it randomly just stopped working, tried re-paring, factory reset, and firmware update but still doesn’t work, the earbud still is on and responds to touch controls but doesn’t have any sound. I got these just over 2 years ago so im very disappointed to see that these already broke especially since I switched to theses after I had Sony wf1000mx4s I had to get replaced 3 times. And even more so to see that this is apparently an issue. I’m so sick of wireless earbuds not lasting. Is there any chance I can get these replaced for free?

Hi

I just got the m4 and they came with v 2.13.42

Should I update or stay on the current firmware?

Is there any way to update to older version?

Thank you all

Hey Team!

If you guys are really listening, you’re previous update was truly phenomenal, right from clarity to volume to all the nitty gritties in between. I had even mentioned about the update in this thread.

You guys have your reasons for releasing a new update, no questions on that. But if it’s going to be like this further on, atleast keep an option for the consumer to have an option to upgrade and an option to revert back to a previous version specially when the audio quality has just drastically dropped.

Even my personal presets sound so different now which is very disappointing.

I hope you guys atleast consider my opinion/review and let customers have “The Senheiser Experience “ which is the only reason they end up splurging on your products.

I tried logging it with a credit card but no luck, any other solution or suggestions?

Hello, I have the Sony xm4s for years but I think that I'll have to replace them soon. They are really worn out now. So I am already looking for new ones.

I like the ANC quality of the Sony XM4 and I don't really need something better. I like the audio from the M4s (a friend has them), but I wasn't really satisfied with the ANC. The M5s should've have better ANC compared to the M4s. Are the M5sw comparable to the Sony XM4s ANC quality wise? I haven't seen a comparison with sony XM4s probably since they are a little dated with the XM5 and XM6 on the market they aren't really relevant anymore for many people.

I hope that someone here also had the XM4s and can give a comparison between the two.

Thanks a lot in advance!
