The Sennheiser Momentum Sport earbuds are a premium option ideal for active users, as they're sweatproof, dustproof, and feature heart rate and body temperature tracking, which integrate with popular exercise apps. They provide very good sound quality and have active noise cancelling for improved audio isolation. With a weight of 6.8 grams and a large earbud size, they might be more noticeable during wear but come with silicone fins for a secure fit. They support AptX Adaptive and AAC codecs, offering good wireless audio quality and low latency, beneficial for watching videos or gaming. Comfort and build quality are commendable, and they have excellent microphone quality for calls. The accompanying app allows customization of equalizer settings and controls. The earbuds have 6 hours of battery life, with an additional 24 hours provided by their case, which also enables wireless charging. These earbuds are optimized for both Android and Apple devices and feature ear detection, pausing the audio when removed from the ear. They are not the most portable option due to their large carrying size and do not support virtual surround sound. Give Feedback

Tech Radar
Amelia Schwanke | January 2024
"We hadn't been expecting a new pair of dedicated sports buds but the surprise was nonetheless exciting. I got to try out the new buds at CES 2024 and while they have stayed true to delivering that "signature" Sennheiser sound, with a wide soundstage and strong sense of detail, it’s the extra wearable tech inside them that stands out to me against the best workout headphones."
