Sennheiser Momentum 5 Wireless headphones launch
Sennheiser introduced the Momentum 5 Wireless headphones, produced in Tullamore, Ireland. The design uses 42 mm drivers, Snapdragon Sound and aptX Lossless to deliver CD‑quality Bluetooth audio. A hybrid active‑noise‑cancelling system with eight microphones reduces ambient noise by up to three times compared with the previous model, and a transparent mode lets environmental sounds through.
The headphones offer up to 57 hours of playback on a single charge even with ANC enabled, and feature a user‑replaceable 700 mAh battery cell, extending product life and reducing e‑waste. Bluetooth 5.4 hardware is ready for future Bluetooth 6.0 support, and Dolby Atmos with head‑tracking provides immersive spatial sound. The Smart Control Plus app adds an eight‑band EQ and sound‑personalisation settings. Sustainable packaging is plastic‑free.
Reviewers in Germany highlighted the detailed, natural soundstage, strong mids and clear highs, and praised the long battery life and effective ANC. They noted the lack of LE Audio/Auracast and that the unit is not foldable, but concluded the Momentum 5 Wireless offers a well‑balanced, high‑quality option among premium wireless headphones.
