Is the Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless worth the upgrade from the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro?
Verdict
Downgrade
The Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless actually scores 22.7 points below the Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro, so on aggregate review consensus this is a step backwards. It loses ground on battery (7.3 to 5.0) and sound (9.1 to 7.5). Worth checking: battery life goes 7 h to 4 h and active noise cancelling goes Yes to No. One caution: this steps down a line tier (Galaxy Buds 4 Pro to MOMENTUM True Wireless), and base models usually trade away tier features - check the codec and ANC rows above before trusting the score gap alone. It is at least $30 cheaper, so the lower score comes with a saving. Only worth it if a specific feature above matters more to you than overall quality does.
What actually changes
Sub-scores both products have, on the same 0-10 scale. Bars extend right for a gain, left for a loss.
