”Offering a rich, detailed sound and plenty of overall appeal, the Momentum 5 Wireless are a timely reminder to rival premium wireless headphone brands: ignore Sennheiser at your peril.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.
High 5 for the latest Momentum
Following an illustrious line of Momentum headphones, the Sennheiser Momentum 5 is the best yet. With twice the number of mics, noise cancellation and call clarity are refined to a higher level. A new Game Mode supports low latency and head tracking for gaming precision. A wide range of new codecs ensure improved sound from Bluetooth devices, support for Auracast and more.
Momentous sound
One aspect of the Momentum that hasn’t changed is the signature sound quality. With a slight emphasis at bass and treble frequency extremes, the sonic signature is upbeat and punchy, while retaining the typical Sennheiser smoothness.
A step up in hi-res audio support
Although the sound signature hasn’t changed, sonic resolution and detail has. Thanks to a wider range of codec support, you get to enjoy more detail and improved realism. Support for aptX lossless and Snapdragon Sound ensures optimal sound quality from your Hi-Res music sources. The Bluetooth 5.4 connection is also compatible with a wide range of other codecs, including SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD and aptX adaptive.
Cancels more noise and improved call quality
Fitted with twice the number of microphones (eight), the Momentum 5 delivers up to 3 x better midrange noise cancellation than the previous generation. Once activated, ANC (Active Noise Cancelation) monitors ambient sound levels and then blocks out background noise. This optimal noise cancellation system makes it much easier to hear your music when traveling or at busy stations and airports. The additional mics also help improve your call quality.
Transparency Mode for situational awareness
Ideal for when you’re at a station or airport and awaiting an important announcement, Transparency Mode lets you hear more, keeping you better in touch with the outside world. This mode is also recommended for when walking or running outside.
New Gaming Mode function
If you’re using these headphones for gaming, you’ll love the new Game Mode. Reducing latency to 50ms (rather than 200ms) in BT mode, you get improved sync between sound and vision, giving you the gaming edge. The Momentum 5’s also support head tracking, giving you an improved sense of special awareness, especially when used in conjunction with VR.
Multi-device streaming with Auracast
Compatible with Auracast, the Momentum 5 lets you stream to multiple headphones or speakers at once. Perfect for letting others hear your playlist or gaming with friends, Auracast lets you share the fun.
Smart Control Plus app for personalised sound
You can personalise the sound to your own taste with Sennheiser’s Smart Control Plus app. Available as a free download for iOS and Android, the app lets you precisely tailor the sound with the My Sound function. Sound Zones automatically adjusts your audio settings based on your current location, with noise cancellation and transparency modes also accessible via the app.
Impressive battery life
With an impressive battery life of up to 57 hours, the Momentum 5 Wireless headphones rank amongst the best in their class. Even more impressively, the 57 hours playback time is available with Bluetooth and ANC functions switched on and the headphones playing at around half volume. A full recharge takes just two hours, with seven hours playback available after just 10 minutes charging.
Accessories supplied
Open the box and you’ll find the headphones arrive in a durable carry case – ideal for protecting your headphones when not in use. There’s also a USB-C charging cable, plus an analogue connecting cable with 3.5mm plug.
Choice of stylish finishes
With colour options that include Black, White and Denim, the Momentum 5’s smooth good looks are now available in a wider choice of colours. Fitting around the ear, the headphones apply the ideal pressure, with soft padding making them comfortable to wear for hours at a time.
Hear the best from your music on the move, with the Sennheiser Momentum 5.
