Sennheiser India Announces MOMENTUM 5 Series Launch

Sennheiser’s Indian arm unveiled two new premium audio products – the MOMENTUM 5 Wireless over‑ear headphones priced at INR 39,990 and the MOMENTUM True Wireless 5 earbuds priced at INR 29,990. Both devices become available for pre‑order on 24 September 2026 through the company’s official website, major online marketplaces, and authorized offline retailers, with a launch sale date of 1 October 2026.

The MOMENTUM 5 Wireless headphones incorporate HD 600‑inspired 42 mm drivers, Dolby Atmos spatial‑tracking, and support for loss‑less codecs. An eight‑microphone hybrid active‑noise‑cancellation (ANC) system delivers up to three‑times stronger mid‑range noise suppression compared with the previous MOMENTUM 4 model, while a 57‑hour battery life is claimed with ANC engaged. The unit includes a user‑replaceable 700 mAh battery that can be swapped with a Phillips‑head screwdriver, USB‑C and 3.5 mm audio cables, and a carrying case that is 20 % flatter and packaged with 16 % less material, using plastic‑free components. Initial colour options are Black and Denim, with White, Bronze and Lavender slated for later release.

The MOMENTUM True Wireless 5 earbuds feature a new 7 mm TrueResponse dynamic transducer, delivering 24‑bit/96 kHz high‑resolution audio and Dolby Atmos 3D sound with head‑tracking. They house a hybrid adaptive ANC system, a four‑microphone array per ear, and an eight‑sensor AI‑driven speech‑enhancement engine that improves voice call clarity in noisy environments. Battery performance includes up to 12 hours of playback per charge and a total of 40 hours when the charging case is included; both earbuds and case have user‑replaceable batteries. Connectivity is powered by Bluetooth 6.0 with aptX Adaptive and aptX Lossless support. The earbuds are IP54‑rated for dust, sweat and splash resistance, and a redesign based on data from thousands of ear shapes resulted in 73 % of testers rating comfort higher than the prior generation. Colour variants are Graphite, Cream, Copper, Denim and Lavender.

Both products are built on technology developed at Sennheiser’s Tullamore, Ireland facility, featuring Snapdragon Sound™ technology, Hi‑Res Audio certification, and support for aptX™ Lossless. The launch is positioned as a sustainability‑focused offering, highlighted by the flatter case, reduced packaging, and the ability for users to replace batteries, thereby extending product lifespan.

Country Head of Sennheiser (Consumer) India, Mr. Saahil Kumar, stated that the MOMENTUM 5 series refines the overall experience without deviating from the successful formula of its predecessor, adding that the user‑swappable battery and plastic‑free packaging demonstrate that high‑performance sound can coexist with environmental responsibility. He also emphasized that the True Wireless 5 brings flagship performance to a compact form factor while maintaining the brand’s signature audio quality.
