Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 Discounted to AU$248 as New Flagship Arrives

Sennheiser's new flagship earbuds have landed, and early reviews are positive. But as TechRadar notes, the Momentum True Wireless 5 carry a premium price of AU$499. That has pushed the previous generation, the Momentum True Wireless 4, down to AU$248 — less than half the cost — just ahead of Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event.

The Momentum True Wireless 4, which remain a strong option for listeners seeking a neutral sound profile, are equipped with 7mm TrueResponse dynamic drivers, aptX Lossless and Auracast support, and a total battery life of 30 hours. TechRadar's review praised their audio quality, describing them as balanced and detailed across genres. The publication also noted that the newer Momentum True Wireless 5 "essentially sound about the same" as the MTW4, attributing this to the shared drivers.

Where the two differ is in design and features. The MTW5 adopt a lower-profile shape for a more comfortable fit, upgrade to Bluetooth 6.0, extend battery life to 40 hours, add an eight-microphone calling system, and introduce user-replaceable batteries. The MTW4 keep Sennheiser's older, slightly bulkier design.

For most buyers, those changes may not justify the price gap. TechRadar observes that the upgrades do not fundamentally alter the core listening experience. The MTW4 continue to deliver the same audio performance that earned praise in their own review, making them an attractive option for anyone prioritizing sound quality over the latest connectivity and ergonomic tweaks.

Sennheiser, while respected in audio circles, often flies under the radar compared to brands like Apple and Sony, which TechRadar suggests may lead some shoppers to overlook models such as the MTW4. With the price cut, that oversight becomes easier to correct.

The deal is available on the black model, and the timing aligns with the upcoming Prime Big Deal Days sale. For those who want top-tier audio without spending flagship money, the Momentum True Wireless 4 are worth a look. But for users who value the latest Bluetooth standard, longer battery life, or replaceable batteries, the newer model may still be the better fit.

As always, consider your own priorities: if sound is paramount, the older model offers remarkable value; if you want the newest features and a more refined fit, the MTW5 justify their higher price. Either way, Sennheiser's Momentum line remains a strong contender in the wireless earbuds market.
