Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4
Score: 85/100
Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 Purple
Score: 86/100Rankings
Powerbeats Pro 2 are true-wireless sport earbuds with secure earhooks, ANC, and a massive 45 h total battery life. Their bulkier design, Lightning-only charging and occasional connectivity hiccups are trade-offs. Ideal for athletes entrenched in the Apple ecosystem who prioritize endurance and fit.
The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 offers premium sound with hybrid adaptive ANC, a 7 mm driver and up to 30 hours of total playback, complemented by fast and wireless charging. Its bulkier design and heavier case make it less pocket-friendly, and ANC falls short of the very best. Ideal for audiophiles and travelers who value high-resolution codecs and long battery life.

Professional reviewers commend the Momentum True Wireless 4 for their detailed, balanced sound, effective hybrid ANC, long battery life and robust feature set including high-resolution codec support and a versatile app. They note the premium build and comfortable fit, but point out the bulkier design, slightly lower ANC performance versus market leaders, and the necessity of the companion app for full customization.
Everyday users love the crystal-clear audio, strong bass and the long battery life with fast charging, describing the fit as comfortable for extended wear. Common complaints revolve around the earbuds feeling bulky for small ears, occasional touch-control glitches, and the relatively heavy charging case.
“Crystal-clear sound, especially bass/details at low/medium volumes”
“Bulky for smaller ears may slip during intense workouts”
Professional reviewers commend the Powerbeats Pro 2 for their exceptionally secure earhooks, industry-leading battery endurance, and clear, detailed sound that improves on earlier Beats models. They also appreciate the addition of ANC, Transparency mode, heart-rate monitoring and recyclable packaging, while noting the earbuds' bulkier size, continued reliance on Lightning charging and the absence of an official IP rating as drawbacks.
Everyday users praise the earbuds for staying firmly in place during vigorous activity, lasting through long training sessions, and delivering powerful bass that motivates workouts. Common complaints revolve around the relatively large form factor, occasional connectivity hiccups, a bass-forward sound that can drown out vocals, and the inconvenience of Lightning-only charging.
