If you’ve ever thought “I quite fancy thoseAirPodsMax, but not as expensive, with better battery life and not tied toApplehardware”, I’ve got good news for you: if you don’t fancy the spectacularly goodSonyWH-1000XM5, our current pick of thebest wireless headphonesyou can buy, you’ll soon be able to buy a set of Sennheisers that’ll cost less than Apple’sbest noise cancelling headphonesand last much longer too.

The image above is a teaser from Sennheiser showing the Sennheiser Momentum 4, the soon-to-be-released successor to the really rather good Momentum 3 over-ears. Originally priced at $399 / £349 some reviews thought they were a little pricey, but even before discounting they were much cheaper than Apple’s option. And the new model sounds pretty tasty to me.

What’s new in the Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones

Sennheiser is currently teasing us rather than offering solid specifications, but it promises “best-in-class sound, advanced Adaptive Noise Cancellation and an all-new design offering exceptional comfort.” It’s predicting 60 hours of battery life, more than double the Sonys and three times the AirPods Max, and there’s an “audiophile-inspired 42mm transducer system” that Sennheiser says delivers a more natural sound stage. Bluetooth 5.3 seems likely but hasn’t been conformed yet.
