Sennheiser Reveals New And Improved Momentum 5 Wireless Headphones
The flagship over-ear headphones add a user-replaceable battery, stronger noise cancellation and a Dolby Atmos update for early adopters.
- Sennheiser released the Momentum 5 Wireless on June 30th for $399.99, introducing a user-replaceable battery, Dolby Atmos support with spatial audio, and enhanced noise cancellation nearly four years after the Momentum 4.
- After nearly 15 years refining the Momentum line, intense competition from Asian-based headphone brands and margin pressure forced Sennheiser to deliver bigger upgrades to sound and active noise cancellation.
- The Momentum 5 doubles microphones to four per ear cup for what Sennheiser calls "across-the-board improvements," while a user-replaceable 700mAh battery requires only a Phillips-head screwdriver; the storage case shrinks 20% with plastic-free materials and Hi-Res Audio certification joins aptX Lossless codec support.
- Despite a 3-hour battery reduction to 57 hours with ANC on, the Momentum 5 delivers 27 more hours than Sony's WH-1000XM6 and 37 more than Apple's AirPods Max 2, while at $400 it undercuts Sony and Bose flagships by $50–$60.
- A day-one firmware update will unlock Dolby Atmos with head-tracking capability for spatial immersion, while planned Bluetooth 6.0 updates promise improved device tracking and LE Audio activation, though timing remains unclear.
