The Sennheiser Momentum 4 adaptive noise-canceling wireless headphones are a nice AirPods Max alternative, and you can get a pair for $199.99 shipped today, originally $379.95. Aside from music, it comes equipped with four digital beam-forming microphones to ensure high-quality voice pick-up, while automatically suppressing wind noise for optimized calls and easier access to voice assistants.

Sennheiser’s Momentum 4 headphones feature a lightweight, foldable design, complete with padded headband and deeply cushioned ear pads for long-lasting comfort. Most importantly, you can get up to 60 hours of playback time on a full charge. In case you do need a fast charge, Smart Pause halts playback when the headphones are taken off and automatically resumes when they’re back on your ears.
After watching countless hours of review videos and sampling multiple headphones firsthand I narrowed my final selections down to the Momentum 4, and a pair of certified refurbished AirPod Max’s and Sony Xm5’s ($280). My budget was under $400. Ultimately I decided to go with the Sennheisers. The Momentum 4’s (M4) are very comfortable with plush faux leather on the ear cups. I wish they were a bit bigger of an oval shape (something to consider if you have big ears) but for me they fit just right,” said one reviewer.
