Not long after the launch of Sennheiser Momentum 2 truly wireless headphones, Sennheiser’s new Sennheiser CX 400BT Truly Wireless Headphones landed on my desk. These wireless earbuds look very similar to the Momentum 2; so what’s the difference between them, and what are the CX 400BT like to use and are they a good buy? I’ll share what I learned in this review.
Sennheiser CX400BT have 7mm dynamic drivers ensure that the earbuds deliver outstanding stereo sound thanks in part to an internal audio EQ, and by the latest Bluetooth 5.1 technology, AAC and aptX compatibility. We’ll get to how these sound in a sec.
What’s the difference between Sennheiser Momentum 2 truly wireless headphones, Sennheiser’s new Sennheiser CX 400BT Truly Wireless Headphones?
The CX 400BT has many of the same features of the MOMENTUM True Wireless 2. These include those 7mm dynamic drivers with a built-in equalizer, an ergonomic design, customizable touch controls, calls and voice assistant access.
The MOMENTUM True Wireless 2 adds enhanced features such as Active Noise Cancelling & Transparent Hearing, smart pause (where the earbuds pause the music when you remove them from your ears), and IPX4 splash resistance.
MOMENTUM offers a 28-hour battery life, compared to 20 hours for the CX 400BT True Wireless and the Momentum 2 have fast charging.
The Momentum package is also a little more stylish, with its fabric wrapped case; and the Momentum buds have a bit of a softer, rounder design, while the 400BTs are more boxy.
Despite those differences, the new CX 400BT True Wireless uses the same acoustical system as the MOMENTUM True Wireless 2.
So in a nutshell, all the same sound quality, but missing a few key features.
When it comes to Fit & feel, These earbuds do have a slightly bigger and boxier profile, but by and larger they look similar to the Momentum. With several sets of ear gels, you can customize your fit so it’s pretty comfortable. They don’t feel too big in my ears. These buds, once paired will also connect quickly to the last device you paired them to, meaning when you put them in they’re always ready to go.
While there’s no active Noise Cancelling, these do a good job of achieving a sound isolating fit that’s able to block out outside noise by forming a good seal inside the ear.
Let’s dive right into how these sound. They do support a variety of audio codecs and have a Built-in equalizer, which you can utilize to customize the sound to your preferences via the Sennheiser Smart Control app for IOS and Android.
I tested the new Momentum Buds out with a variety of music… If you want to check out my test playlist on Spotify it’s linked up above.
The bass on these is outstanding. I put on the bass-heavy Hypnotize by Notorious B.I.G. and started groovin’. There’s intensity and resonance in these earbuds and they give you a good thump. Even so they’re extremely well balanced. The vocals are clear, and the treble and the highs aren’t tinny or raspy.
Having spent some time with the Momentum 2 recently, I can definitely says these deliver on premium sound quality, and match the Momentum 2s beat for beat.
CX 400BT True Wireless connects to your phone, computer or audio device via Bluetooth 5.1 technology within up to a 10-metre range. I tested these out by wearing the buds and walking away from my phone and there was no breakup or dropouts.
These earbuds are a great buy, in my opinion. They deliver on great sound quality, and at a substantially lower price that the Momentum. They fit well, they’re compact and the battery life is great. You can also use just one bud at a time if you like.
While the Sennheiser CX 400BT Headphones has many great design and sound features, they have a few drawbacks.
They are not weatherproof or water-resistant, there’s no auto-stop or auto-resume features when you take them in and out of your ear, they also lack noise cancelling and ambient mode. Now the good news is that if those features are important, you can get them by upgrading to the Momentum 2.
If you’re looking for premium headphones with top notch audio at a great price, you’re going to want to check out the Sennheiser CX 400BT Headphones.
