No issues with mine.

If I understand artemuss1990, something broke off inside the headphone jack such that the headphones are now stuck in the mode which keeps them in wired mode , so he can't get the headphones to go back into wireless Bluetooth mode.

Initially I couldn't get the m3's to work in wired mode. All I could get was a low level volume in the right ear up and nothing in the left ear cup.
BUT
I went online and came across someone in AV GUIDE who was having the same problem as I was.
Someone responded to that person and said you have to push the plug into the headphone jack with a lot of force, more than you would think. So I tried pushing the plug in a lot harder than I was; and VOILA, they worked as they should.
So now I have no problem using the m3's with the headphone jack connection. Same with the usbc to usbc cable, it works perfectly.

I'm not sure that can be the case, because the USB-C to USB-C wired mode you're mentioning is tied to the Bluetooth mode, not to the "normal" analogue 3.5mm wired mode.

You can deactivate the Bluetooth wireless mode then use the usbc to usbc cable.
To do this you fold the headphones up, then press and hold the voice assistant button on the bottom of the headphones.
Keep holding the button in, as you slowly unfold them.
After 4 seconds the wireless Bluetooth mode is deactivated. The voice prompt confirms that the Bluetooth wireless mode is disconnected.

What I'm not sure about is whether the signal coming out of the device's usbc port is analog (that is to say the device's dac has converted the signal to analogue); or if the device sends the digital signal to the headphones and the headphones have an internal dac which converts the signal to analog in the headphones.

When I tried using the usbc cable after deactivating Bluetooth wireless mode, as explained above, it worked, but the volume level was lower than in Bluetooth wireless mode. Not a big problem, it just meant I had to turn the volume level up.
And it did also charge the headphones as I was listening to them.

I did a google search and got an answer to my own question.
Yes when using the usbc cable after disabling wireless Bluetooth mode, the signal coming from the device's usbc port is digital and there is an internal dac in the headphones that converts the signal to analog.

I find them so so so ugly (

Also, why the heck are they all (Sony, Senn) not making anymore foldable headphones!?

I really hated the sound of Momentum 2 Wireless, but I loved that of Momentum 3 (albeit they had plenty other things I didn't like and that were perfect in the M2, which led me to selling them).

Yep, a step back in terms of design for sure... they look more like the lower-tier now. I don't care about folding because folding means more joints and more prone to creaking or breaking (see XM3/4). But using that classic yoke design when everybody else is using single contact joint between cup and headband is so last decade...

 

[KopaneDePooj]

They took off that Canadian page, but you can still see them here https://www.theverge.com/2022/8/1/23287327/sennheiser-momentum-4-wireless-headphones-leak-price

Oh, and the earpad opening looks so small now... seems almost like they want to ruin everything just to have stuff to fix in future iterations.

Do we think these might come with the new BT codec specs?

If you mean Bluetooth LE Audio and related LC3 coded, then absolutely no chance.

They'll have standard A2DP audio via Bluetooth Classic, with codec support of SBC, AAC, aptX Adaptive.
