The Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 4‘s controls are good. The capacitive touchpad registers commands predictably. However, due to their shape and large touch surface area, you can accidentally trigger a command when adjusting the earbuds, which is annoying. Otherwise, they emit clear tones for each command you enter, except if you max out the volume (which we don’t recommend for your health), and then the sound prompts get drowned out by the audio playback.

Otherwise, you can reassign most of the controls in their companion app, like transparency mode (which pipes in the external sounds of your environment) and noise cancellation. Your reconfigurable gestures are single, double, and triple taps, as well as press-and-hold commands, and the commands don’t have to be the same for both earbuds. The only two options you’d have to manually add are locking and unlocking the touchpad or assigning no control to any given touch command. Every other remappable command is included in the default controls seen below, and you can change any of them except for the factory call controls.

Left earbud:

• Single tap: Enable transparency mode, accept incoming calls, or mute the current call.
• Double tap: Skip to the previous track, reject incoming calls, or end the current call.
• Triple tap: Turn ANC on/off.

Right earbud:

• Single tap: Play/pause audio, accept incoming calls, or mute the current call.

• Triple tap: Activate voice assistant.
• Press and hold: Increase the volume.

Both earbuds:
