The Memorial Day sales have thrown up another great deal. The five-star Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless are now $102 off, dropping to just $277 at Amazon.
They have been cheaper before – about a month ago, they dropped to $270. But this is still a good price on a sublime pair of headphones.
Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless was $379 now $277 at AmazonThe five-star Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless headphones are a stellar set of cans that we praised for providing clean, neutral and musical sound, a mighty 60-hour battery life and effective ANC. Competition is fiercer than ever now, but these still hold up as a great pair of headphones. Five starsRead our Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless review

The Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless are getting on a bit now – we first reviewed them back in December 2022. At the time we declared them "one of the best-performing ANC over-ears at their price".
Since then, the market has moved on, and competition is fiercer than ever. Not only do they have to compete with established models like the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, but fresh rivals too like the Sony WH-1000XM6 and Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3.
But the Sennheiser's appeal endures.
That's largely down to the incredible 60-hour battery life that none of these rivals can, well, rival. The Momentum 4 Wireless also support the high-quality aptX Adaptive Bluetooth codec, and the Sennheiser Smart Control app gives you a deep level of personalisation.
Most importantly, when it comes to sound quality, they offer a clear, direct, detailed and lively profile. As we say in our review:
"When first playing music through them, we are also struck by their tonal balance, which has shed a layer or two of the richness that has characterised older Momentums, in favour of more neutrality this time round.
"That's no bad thing. They sound sharp and sprightly, and that added leanness hasn't come at the expense of substance across the frequencies: highs are well-honed, mids are pleasingly plump, and lows strike a good balance between being taut and tubby."
Sound good, right? And with $102 off, dropping the price to just $277 at Amazon, we recommend them wholeheartedly.

The Kiwi Ears Étude deliver tactile bass with vibration-powered IEM tech

Paul Jones / Android Authority TL;DR The Kiwi Ears Étude in-ear monitor (IEM) introduces Kiwi Vibration Transducer (KVT) tech for tactile low-end immersion. The IEMs combine 10mm beryllium-plated dynamic drivers with three balanced armatures. The Étude are on sale now for $119 at Amazon, Linsoul, and other retailers. Kiwi Ears recently unveiled the Étude, a pair of high-end in-ear monitors (IEMs) that the brand promises can deliver exceptional bass response via the brand's all-new Kiwi Vibration Transducer (KVT) technology. Unlike conventional bone conduction tech, KVT introduces a scaled-down tactile vibration system akin to what's found in Bluetooth vibration speakers, which Kiwi Ears promises will bring a physical edge to low-mid audio reproduction. The Étude are powered by 10mm beryllium-electroplated dynamic drivers, engineered to act like subwoofers. The driver aims to deliver crisp, fast kick drums and lush bass guitar tones. Paired with the KVT's vibration-enhanced plate system — driven by suspended N52 neodymium magnets — the result is what Kiwi Ears describes as a deep, rumbling low-end with 3D-like imaging. Paul Jones / Android Authority The Étude also house three custom-balanced armature drivers: a dedicated midrange driver tuned for vocal and instrumental clarity, and a dual ultra-high frequency tweeter to enhance microdetails and ambient textures. A flat midrange and carefully extended treble round out the tuning, with Kiwi Ears aiming for a lifelike, neutral profile. Kiwi also says the Étude are tuned with an 8dB sub-bass lift, grounded by a 250Hz crossover shelf to preserve vocal presence without adding coloration. It hopes this will bridge tactile impact with high-fidelity detail. Are the Kiwi Ears Étude worth it? Paul Jones / Android Authority I've been testing the Étude myself for the past week, and what has stuck with me most is how physical the bass felt compared to other IEMs that lack vibration drivers. Tracks with heavy low-end didn't just sound deep, they felt like they were pressing gently against my ear. Beyond the bass response, the tonal balance is also impressively refined. Vocals are clear, with a lifelike texture that sits well in the mix, and the upper registers stay smooth without veering into harsh territory. Instrument separation and soundstaging are also great across everything from driving metal to thumping cinematic scores. If you like genres that thrive on dynamics and layering, the Kiwi Ears Étude are definitely worth a look. Even with the unique drivers, these IEMs are tuned in a way that won't just satisfy bassheads, though some vocal tracks take on a slightly boxy or reverberant tone when the vibration tech really kicks in. Overall, if you like genres that thrive on dynamics and layering, the Étude are definitely worth a look. The Kiwi Ears Étude are on sale now on Amazon, priced at $119 MSRP, or can be bought from Linsoul, Kiwi Ears' parent brand. Kiwi Ears Étude Kiwi Ears Étude MSRP: $119.99 IEMs with innovative vibration tech. Experience deep, tactile bass with the Kiwi Ears Étude, featuring the innovative Kiwi Vibration Transducer (KVT) and a powerful 10mm Beryllium-plated dynamic driver. See price at Amazon Save $5.95

New wave of Tech IPOs should find their home in London, says Head of Tech Sector at the London Stock Exchange

"Nvidia had $29 million of revenue at IPO, and Amazon had revenues of $16 million at the time they went public. London has all the potential to provide companies with this growth opportunity" says Neil Shah, Head of Tech Primary Markets at the London Stock Exchange. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You're reading Entrepreneur United Kingdom, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Despite comprising only 1.4% of the 503 companies in the S&P 500 index of the largest US-listed businesses, the 'Magnificent 7' (Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla) were responsible for over 50% of the index's total gains - and over 75% of its earnings growth - in 2024. It's sometimes hard to believe how small some of those companies were when they first went public, especially when high profile US IPOs are now reserved for companies with revenues in the billions, not millions. "When I started out in investment banking at Thomas Weisel Partners in 2009," continues Shah, "there were software companies going public in the US with about $40 million in revenue. It is a very different picture today, that would just be impossible. It would probably still be impossible at $400 million in revenue. $400m of revenue a quarter, maybe, but not annually." But it is still possible in London. This may come as a surprise to the average Brit who may only come across the London Stock Exchange in the evening news summary of the FTSE 100 with its big banks, big pharma and miners. The London Stock Exchange team gets as excited about early stage growth companies as they do about unicorns. Most stock exchanges have left the messy business of young, growing scale ups to VCs or Private Equity. Not so in London. "AIM turns 30 this year. It is the world's most successful growth market and is run by the London Stock Exchange. Nominated advisers closely support companies not only through the IPO process, but thereafter. And some of the work required by a company to go public could potentially be done at a tenth of the cost of a US listing." "When companies choose to list in London, they can benefit from a full-time fundraising team in the form of the house broker retained by the company, meaning there is less of a burden on a company founder. And as public companies, they can also attract and incentivise talent in a liquid, transparent way that private companies cannot." Shah also believes that (along with a range of high-quality small cap funds and investors) Venture Capital Trusts, or VCTs - a unique British invention that combines the best of a Silicon Valley VC and a traditional small cap fund - offer an attractive alternative to more fashionable venture funding sources. The traditional venture capital model has fueled household name successes like Uber, Facebook and Zoom. But it has also given the world high profile failures like WeWork, Theranos and 23andMe. London's approach, where sensible valuations, supportive institutional investors and quality growth companies mingle, could be having its moment. AIM has supported some fantastic founder-led companies such as Craneware which went public with $15m of revenue in 2007 ($200m today) and Cerillion, which went public in 2016 with £14m of revenue and a £22m market cap. Today, it's worth over £450m. Nvidia founder Jensen Huang took to the stage at London Tech Week in mid June, saying "The UK has one of the richest AI communities anywhere on the planet... and the third largest AI capital investment of anywhere in the world." If Huang or Bezos were taking Nvidia or Amazon public today, they may be looking to the City, not Wall Street, for support. "British investors are really well-travelled. More than a third of our [London-listed] companies are international," says Shah. "It doesn't matter where you're from, you can be successful here."

Amazon Backs South Korea's $4 Billion AI Bet

SK Group and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Web Services are teaming up to invest roughly 7 trillion won ($5.11 billion), including a $4 billion AWS stake, in South Korea's biggest AI data centre, breaking ground in Ulsan this September and targeting 100 MW by Science Ministry confirmed that the SKAWS partnership will build a sprawling compute campus in Ulsan, set to begin construction in September 2025. Initial capacity will hit 100 megawatts by 2029, making it the largest AI-focused facility in the country. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 2 Warning Sign with AMZN. SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, speaking alongside President Lee Jae Myung and leading tech CEOs, pledged to eventually expand the site to one gigawatt and position Ulsan as a global AI hub serving domestic demand. Following the announcement, SK Hynix shares climbed about 4% in Seoul trading, while Amazon's U.S. premarket listing remained major AI infrastructure in Ulsan aligns with Seoul's push to decentralize high-tech investment and foster regional innovation. A home-grown data centre reduces reliance on foreign cloud nodes and could catalyse new AI startups, research partnerships, and talent clusters outside traditional tech centres. As the Ulsan campus scales toward gigawatt power, its performance will test the viability of mega-scale AI hubs outside established tech corridors. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
