Sennheiser has launched the MOMENTUM 5 Wireless headphones and MOMENTUM True Wireless 5 earbuds in India. The two models expand the MOMENTUM lineup with an over-ear headphone and an in-ear true wireless option.
Sennheiser MOMENTUM 5 Wireless
The MOMENTUM 5 Wireless features 42mm drivers inspired by Sennheiser’s HD 600 series and carried forward from its predecessor. Sennheiser manufactures the transducer at its facility in Tullamore, Ireland. The headphones have Hi-Res Audio certification and support Snapdragon Sound with aptX Lossless, along with Dolby Atmos spatial audio and interactive head tracking.
For noise cancellation and calls, the headphones use an eight-microphone hybrid ANC system with four microphones on each side. Sennheiser says the system provides up to three times stronger midrange noise suppression compared with the MOMENTUM 4, including reduction of distracting voice chatter, while also improving call quality.
The headphones offer up to 57 hours of battery life with ANC enabled and support fast charging. They use a user-replaceable 700 mAh battery that can be replaced in minutes using a small Phillips-head screwdriver. The ear pads are also user-replaceable, which allows both components to be replaced separately and helps extend the headphones’ usable life without affecting acoustic performance.
Other details include:
- Ongoing firmware updates for the DSP and wireless engines
- USB-C and 3.5mm audio cables
- Carrying case that is 20% flatter
- Overall packaging reduced by 16%
- Plastic-free packaging

Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 5

The earbuds support high-resolution audio up to 24-bit/96kHz, aptX Adaptive and aptX Lossless, along with Dolby Atmos 3D sound and interactive head tracking.
For noise cancellation and calls, the earbuds combine Hybrid Adaptive ANC with an automatic anti-wind mode. A four-microphone array works with an eight-sensor system that includes a voice accelerometer and AI-powered speech extraction. In addition, AI speech enhancement improves voice clarity in noisy environments, while Natural Transparency mode lets users hear surrounding sounds when required.
The earbuds provide up to 12 hours of playback per charge and up to 40 hours with the charging case. Both the earbuds and charging case have user-replaceable batteries, and the earbuds support quick charging. The redesigned housing and charging case bring several changes:
