Momentum 4 Firmware 3.35.6 Completely Ruined My Headphones — Anyone Else?

Just updated my Sennheiser Momentum 4 to firmware 3.35.6 and it has completely destroyed the experience for me. The headphones were perfect before this update, but now they’re honestly super irritating and almost intolerable to use.

Here’s everything I’m noticing:

👉 A weird noise every time I paus

Sennheiser momentum 4 no

Hey guys so I’ve ordered these momentum 4’S and I’m really excited for them to arrive but I’ve also heard a lot of complaints about the audio and that these headphones come with “defects”, also how they aren’t worth it and how the Bose qc/qc ultra is better, and how they aren’t worth it at all etc.

My terrible experience with Momentum 4

I want highlight some QUALITY CONTROL issues (with both service and hardware!.)

Firstly, the left side driver makes a mild but noticeable white noise/ electronic noise/ TINNITUS but only when the music is paused and not playing but goes away when music is played! This is erratic and random sometime

Disappointed with S25 Ultra's Bluetooth Codec(Only supports Aptx) | Alternatives?

Hi everyone, I bought the S25Ultra 2 days ago and was really excited to listen high quality music on my Sennheiser Momentum 4 's (bought a week ago). But samsung hit me with a huge box filled with disappointment as it only support basic Bluetooth Codec. A 1.3L Rs or 1300$ phone don't support it? My

Finally ready to do some testing

Sennheiser guy who went over to the dark side of Bowers and Wilkins because I couldn't get over how cheap the Momentum 4's were built.

Found some new 4's on Woot for $169 and was thrilled to get them and give them a listen. They just got here and I powered them on and paired them to my BTW5 for A

Sennheiser Consumer Hearing is apparently up for sale again (in German)

They took Sennheiser products and watered them down for the Accentum series. It took them a while to release the HD660 S2 and HDB630. Both Momentum 4 products were mild updates and Sonova didn’t fix previous issues with the Momentum earbuds. Still buggy connectivity (also weird connectivity that cau

My momentum 4 just died. It lasted less than 2 years.

Bought in september 2023. Basically the left ear has been making this strange noise for a few days. Didn't think much about it. Now it's completely dead so I only have sound coming out of the right ear. Will never buy anything from sennheiser again.

Why are my Momentum 4 so uncomfortable, and give me literal pain?

I bought the Momentum 4 a week ago and have been using them every day for multiple hours since. However, there are two things that bother me a lot. I adjusted the headband multiple times, but it gives me literal pain at the top of my head and hurts so much that I want to take it off. It also feels u

Not satisfied with Momentum 4 sound quality

Bought Momentum 4s 2 days ago for $250 and I'm not really impressed with its sound. So, before sound personalization they sound really muffled. I decided to compare them to my Edifier W820NB which I'd bought under $30 and I couldn't really tell the difference with the stock Sennheiser sound settings
