The Sennheiser MOMENTUM 4 power button may not be working due to a possible malfunction after a loud pop sound was heard, which caused the headphones to stop playing. The issue may be related to a battery or internal hardware failure, as the user reported the device had a 30% charge when it stopped working and later did not turn on despite holding the button for several seconds. If the device does not respond, a reset or contacting support may be necessary.
