Overview
- Sennheiser announced the Momentum 5 as its new flagship over‑ear ANC headphones with global pricing set at $399.99 and shipping scheduled to begin June 30, 2026.
- The headphones keep Sennheiser’s 42mm transducers, gain Hi‑Res certification, and double the microphones to four per earcup for improved hybrid active noise cancellation and clearer calls.
- A 700mAh user‑replaceable battery delivers up to 57 hours of playtime with ANC on and can be swapped by owners using a small Phillips screwdriver to extend the product’s usable life.
- Momentum 5 ships with Bluetooth 5.4 and supports Qualcomm’s aptX Lossless via Snapdragon Sound, which enables CD‑quality wireless audio only on compatible Qualcomm devices and excludes many Apple, Google, and some Samsung phones.
- Sennheiser plans post‑launch firmware updates to add Dolby Atmos head‑tracked spatial audio and a future upgrade to Bluetooth 6.0, reflecting a strategy that favors long‑term feature additions and reduced packaging waste.
