Introducing MOMENTUM 5 Wireless: Your Sound Revelation Starts Here

The Sennheiser brand's newest portable powerhouse is an escape into high-fidelity sound, enriched with spatial audio and a suite of sophisticated capabilities.

SINGAPORE, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 Canice Koh, General Manager of Sonova Consumer Hearing Singapore, "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.

Designed to improve over time, the MOMENTUM 5 Wireless platform gives owners new and optimized capabilities through firmware updates to the DSP and wireless engines. For example, users will be able to unlock Dolby AtmosⓇ with head-tracking for next-level immersion via updates, when listening to supported Atmos encoded content^[1].  Furthermore, the hardware ships with Bluetooth 5.4 out of the box and is engineered for the future – the headphones are ready for Bluetooth 6.0 via a future firmware release. The combination of immersive audio, improved ANC and jaw-dropping sound delivers a sound revelation for brand newcomers and seasoned listeners alike.

"With MOMENTUM 5 Wireless, we're proving that high-performance sound and environmental responsibility can – and must – exist in the same product.  With our new user-swappable battery, adaptable hardware, and shift to compact, plastic-free packaging, our customers will feel proud to choose a headphone meant to last." added Lilika Beck, President, Sennheiser Consumer Audio.

Refreshingly Responsible

MOMENTUM 5 Wireless remains an endurance champion with quick charging and up to 57 hours of battery life per charge with ANC engaged. This generation also introduces a user-replaceable 700 mAh battery, engineered to meet strenuous standards for daily use with zero impact on acoustic performance. Using only a small Phillips-head screwdriver, owners can refresh the power cell in minutes, ensuring the headphones stay in their daily rotation for years to come. This commitment to efficiency also extends to the storage case – now 20% smaller – and smaller, plastic-free packaging designed to minimize the total environmental footprint during transit. Also included in the case are a USB Type-C charging cable and 3.5mm analog audio cable for connection to in-flight entertainment systems, laptops, and more.

Availability

The MOMENTUM 5 Wireless will be available for preorder from 12 June and will be available in 3 colourways – Black, White, and Denim, at sennheiser-hearing.com and all Sennheiser retailers. The MOMENTUM 5 Wireless will be available for purchase from 22 June 2026 onwards.
