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. 

“With MOMENTUM 5 Wireless, we focused on refining the entire experience without straying from the formula that made its predecessor such a success,” said Product Manager Sreenath ‘Sri’ Unnikrishnan, “These enhancements enrich the overall functionality while still capturing the magic you feel every time you press play.”

Quick highlights:

  • Hi-Res Audio + Snapdragon Sound (aptX Lossless) for full-fidelity wireless playback
  • Spatial audio with head tracking (Dolby Atmos support via firmware update)
  • Next-gen ANC with up to 3x more effective voice noise reduction
  • Up to 57-hour battery life + user-replaceable battery (rare in this category)
  • Bluetooth 5.4 (future-ready for 6.0)
  • Refined tuning inspired by the HD 600 series heritage
  • New 8-band EQ + personalization tools in Smart Control Plus

At $399.99, MOMENTUM 5 is positioned to compete directly at the top of the premium wireless category, with a strong focus on longevity (replaceable battery), immersive listening, and future-ready wireless architecture.
