Audio enthusiasts can finally grab Sennheiser's flagship Momentum True Wireless 4 earbuds for nearly half price. Amazon's slashing $170 off the Black Graphite model, bringing these premium buds down to $180 from their usual $350 retail price - the deepest discount we've seen on these WIRED-recommended earbuds since launch.
Sennheiser just made premium audio accessible to a much wider audience. The company's Momentum True Wireless 4 earbuds - typically a $350 investment - are now available for $180 in the Black Graphite colorway on Amazon. That's a massive $170 discount that brings these audiophile-grade buds into serious competition with mid-range alternatives.
The timing couldn't be better for consumers eyeing holiday audio upgrades. While the regular black and white variants are seeing smaller price cuts, the Black Graphite model is experiencing what appears to be Amazon's most aggressive pricing yet on this particular SKU. For context, these earbuds launched earlier this year to strong reviews, with WIRED awarding them a 7/10 score specifically for their standout sound reproduction.
"I had a lovely time letting the buds loose across my whole music library," WIRED reviewer Ryan Waniata noted, praising their "excellent dynamics and precision." That level of audio fidelity typically commands premium pricing in the true wireless market, making this discount particularly noteworthy for serious listeners.
The technical specs justify the original pricing. Sennheiser packed these with active noise cancellation that performs admirably against traffic and ambient city noise, though it doesn't quite reach the isolation levels of category leaders like Sony's WF-1000XM5. The earbuds deliver 7-8 hours of playback with ANC enabled, extending to around 30 hours total with the charging case.
What sets these apart in the crowded earbud market is Sennheiser's signature sound tuning. The company's decades of audio engineering experience shine through in the detailed frequency response that works across genres. Whether you're into jazz, electronic, or classical, these earbuds maintain clarity and separation that's rare in the true wireless category.
The smartphone app adds another layer of customization rarely seen at this price point. Users can tweak codec settings and adjust a five-band EQ to match personal preferences. Multipoint pairing handles seamless switching between devices - essential for anyone juggling phone calls and laptop audio throughout the day.
There are trade-offs worth considering. Both the earbuds and charging case run larger than competitors, which could be problematic for smaller ears or compact bags. reviews consistently mention the size factor, though most users find the audio quality worth the accommodation.
