Sennheiser<\/a> has unveiled the latest addition to its MOMENTUM range of wireless headphones, which the brand describes as a \u201cmajor step forward\u201d for the flagship series.
MOMENTUM 5 headphones are said to be the \u201cmost capable\u201d and user-focused evolution of the series, preserving the sound and battery performance of the line while introducing new enhancements, including 57 hours of battery life per charge with ANC engaged, and a user-replaceable 700 mAh battery.<\/p>\n

The headphones host Snapdragon Sound technology featuring Bluetooth audio codec support up to aptX Lossless. Users can also access a free Smart Control Plus companion app with new 8-band EQ, presets, and a Sound Personalisation engine to shape the output to your preferences.
According to Sennheiser, the headphones are also up to three times more effective at reducing distracting background noise like voice chatter due to a supercharged active noise cancelling system; the number of microphones dedicated to ANC and transparency duties has doubled, with four microphones per side.<\/p>\n
