The Sennheiser brand’s newest portable powerhouse is an escape into high-fidelity sound, enriched with spatial audio and a suite of sophisticated capabilities.
Hanover, Germany – May 26, 2026 – The Sennheiser brand today announces MOMENTUM 5 Wireless, the most capable and user-focused evolution of the acclaimed headphone series yet. The newest MOMENTUM preserves the category-defining sound and battery performance of the platinum-selling line while introducing meaningful enhancements to elevate everyday listening for the modern audio enthusiast.
“With MOMENTUM 5 Wireless, we focused on refining the entire experience without straying from the formula that made its predecessor such a success,” said Product Manager Sreenath ‘Sri’ Unnikrishnan, “These enhancements enrich the overall functionality while still capturing the magic you feel every time you press play.”
Signature Performance
MOMENTUM 5 Wireless carries forward the acclaimed 42mm transducer from its predecessor, which is meticulously manufactured at the brand’s state-of-the-art facility in Tullamore, Ireland. It is inspired by the famed HD 600-series headphones and tuned for full-bodied sound with dynamic bass. This latest generation MOMENTUM advances its sonic possibilities even further with Hi-Res Audio certification, and Snapdragon Sound™ technology featuring BluetoothⓇ audio codec support up to aptX™ Lossless. Using the free Smart Control Plus companion app’s new 8-band EQ, bespoke presets, and intelligent Sound Personalization engine, the iconic house sound can be shaped to practically any preference with ease.
Total Immersion
The newest MOMENTUM’s rich and exciting sound is further magnified by what the listener won’t hear, as it is up to three times more effective at reducing distracting voice chatter with its supercharged active noise cancelling system. The number of microphones dedicated to ANC and transparency duties has doubled, with four microphones per side yielding across-the-board improvements at reducing droning airplane cabin noise and more natural voice quality on calls.
