Introducing MOMENTUM 4 Wireless

[ericpalonen]

Out of curiosity. Does the Codec option in Configuration show anything for anyone anytime? Its always showing No Audio Stream for me. Not that it bothers me as the app is far from perfect. I run the app in a Pixel 6 phone, it did not show anything in Android 12 and it does not show anything in Android 13 either.

PS I'd swear the wind reduction has become way worse with the latest updates...

No issues here. This screenshot is while active with a TIDAL stream on a Galaxy S22+, firmware 2.9.3; aptX is the active codec for the stream. No wind noise feature updates in the firmware pack.

Codec is detected on my Sony Xperia 1 II smartphone on the Sennheiser Connection app as APTX ADAPTIVE with Android 12.
Maybe try to deleting the app and reinstalling?
Not sure why it's not showing...do you have another phone or tablet you can try?

I don't have much experience with all things musical but like to hear what I perceive as good audio quality.
I have just received these earphones and I am wanting to use them with my Hiby r6 pro wirelessly.
I have installed the app on my device and eventually managed to pair the earphones with the app but, whatever I try, I am unable to achieve what I consider to be a decent maximum volume.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Check Bluetooth volume level in the Hiby

Check Bluetooth volume level in the Hiby

Thanks for your suggestion however, everything seems to be set at max as far as I can see.

If possible, could you upload your settings in Wavelet... I mistakingly uploaded a non Harmon curve setting I think.

Thank you.

Try this. I think* it's a harmon plus a touch more bass with some extra filters I added to make the curve closer.

*Uploaded from my Google drive via phone while on holiday so I can't confirm the file is the right one so easily.

That said and done, I don't actually use it. The M4 is basically Harmon tuned with significant bass boost. My preference is currently just to have -1db bass and +1db treble in the sennheiser app and leave it there. There's a lot of filter in that wavelet file and actually I'm not sure it really helps much. Tune to taste I would say. Most easily done using PEACE on a Windows machine in my experience.

I don't think the M4W is listed has having Aptx HD. However, android developer settings suggest it's compatible and sound keeps playing when I select it.

Sony Xperia 5iii FWIW

When I select Aptx HD the audio gaps then plays normally. Android claims it's 44.1khz 24bit. The sennheiser app says "no audio stream". No audible difference though (as we should realistically expect).

On the Xperia 5iii with Aptx adaptive the phone also has a pop up stating the headphones are compatible with Qualcom Snapdragon Sound. From what I have read this enables 96khz sample rate at 24bit. Not sure what this achieves as android resamples at 48khz anyway so upsampling to 96 isn't going to discover new information in the stream by magic.

I actually suffered a couple of issues in normal use with getting a mono audio only. M4 connected to PC and phone in parallel. Needed to restart M4 and phone to sort it out. I did test that it was mono by going to the android accessibility audio settings and using the left/right balance and finding it equally effected both ears.

I actually have the same settings for mine in my Sennheiser Smart Control app's EQ...named it D:N:U ( down : neutral : up )

I couldn't find any settings in Wavelet for the M4's except for the one I created.
All the settings were for the original Momentums, II and III's.
I have yet to see if yours is there, but will when I check Wavelet tonight.
What is it listed/named as?

I'm a Mac user so I don't think I can use the PEACE program.

Thanks for the help.

If you import the file I attached into Wavelet it will appear in your auto EQ list with the title of the filename.

Don't see the file on my previous message. Tried again here

I don't see an attached file...am I missing something?

Something to do with attaching from Google drive. Now downloaded and attached again above. Hopefully there now....

I currently don't have my headphones with me at the moment, but will try later to see if that works...I'll let you know.

The ladies voice that says stuff like "connected" or "no connection" generally sounds the same as on my old M2W. However, when she says "more than 80% battery" she's developed a slight cockney twang to her accent. This seems a bit odd and quite specific coming from a German manufacturer. It makes no material difference but makes me wonder if it's done on purpose by design, on purpose for a laugh or just by accident. Harmless either way.

She's got great manners. Exceptional at blackjack. Outdoorsy but still gentle with an eye for interior decor. She's laughing with you, never at you. Once saved a baby from a burning building. Holds the county record in the 100 m dash.
