Get Your Sound Revelation
The heart of the earbuds is the same sound-first DNA that powers the recently released fifth-gen MOMENTUM headphones, letting listeners choose their preferred wearing style for listening without compromise. It all starts with the brand’s signature 7mm TrueResponse dynamic transducer, capable of balancing remarkable detail with full-bodied, bass-driven tuning. Meticulously developed at the brand’s production facility in Tullamore, Ireland, each transducer is manufactured and tested for exceptional precision, clarity and dynamics. Bluetooth 6.0 with aptX Adaptive codec support provides stable wireless freedom for a crystal-clear hi-res audio pathway up to 24-bit and 96 kHz, including aptX Lossless for bit-perfect transmission on supported audio sources.
Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 5 sports a top-to-bottom redesign to enhance both portability and function
The bar for acoustic performance is raised once again, highlighted by the revised adaptive hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC) system and automatic anti-wind mode. A redesigned ear tip works in tandem with a dedicated four-microphone array to maximize noise cancelling performance while delivering the series’ most natural-sounding, real-time transparency mode to date. For pristine voice capture, the earbuds engage all eight system sensors—combining six microphones and two bone-conduction voice accelerometers with an AI speech-extraction algorithm to isolate the voice in chaotic environments.
Inheriting the spatial audio prowess of the over-ear model, MOMENTUM True Wireless 5 is fully optimized for Dolby Atmos® with interactive head-tracking capability1, projecting an immersive, theater-like spatial audio field that you can take anywhere.
Eco-Conscious Endurance
MOMENTUM True Wireless 5 is built to last, introducing a user-replaceable battery system in both the earbuds and wireless charging case, letting users easily refresh the power cells in mere minutes. Sharing the same ethos as the brand’s flagship MOMENTUM 5 headphones, customers can safeguard their technology and retain the earbuds’ longevity far beyond standard battery degradation using only a compact screwdriver.
Designed for all-day listening, the earbuds further improve their endurance over the prior generation with 12 hours of continuous playback per charge, and over two additional replenishments stored in the Qi-enabled wireless charging case for up to 40 total hours of run time. The quick charge capability extends listening up to 1 hour from just an 8-minute top-up.
“Balancing compact size, our signature high-fidelity acoustics, and a replaceable battery is a major breakthrough,” added Lilika Beck, President of Sennheiser Consumer Hearing. “With MOMENTUM True Wireless 5, we are proving that cutting-edge performance does not have to sacrifice longevity.”
Ergonomic Evolution
To achieve their “barely there” fit, the earbud housing features an elegant new aerodynamic silhouette sculpted using data derived from thousands of unique ear models. The earbuds’ fin-less shape was rated more comfortable than the prior generation by 73% of testers, and is rated IP54 for dust, sweat and splash resistance, A micro-perforated acoustic mic plate mitigates wind turbulence, protecting both voice capture and ANC stability from aerodynamic interference. The companion charging case has also been re-engineered with a narrower, pocket-friendly aspect ratio and a low-friction finish for seamless ingress and egress from tight pockets.
