Is the Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless worth the upgrade from the Skullcandy Crusher® ANC 2?
Verdict
Clear upgrade
Going from the Skullcandy Crusher® ANC 2 to the Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 Wireless buys you 17.0 points of HearWiki score - a clear step up that reviewers agree on rather than a marketing refresh. The gains are concentrated in sound (6.5 to 8.5), noise cancelling (6.0 to 8.0) and value (6.5 to 8.5). On paper: codecs SBC, AAC to SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX Adaptive, weight 332 g to 293 g and bluetooth 5.x to 5.2. Worth checking: drivers per side goes 2 to 1. That costs $5 more, or about $0 per point of score - reasonable value for the jump. If your current pair is worn out or the gains line up with how you listen, this one is worth the money.
What actually changes
Sub-scores both products have, on the same 0-10 scale. Bars extend right for a gain, left for a loss.
