Sennheiser Momentum Sport: headphones for sports music lovers

The Sennheiser Momentum Sport are equipped with silicone fins for better support. They incorporate two biometric sensors: one to measure heart rate by photoplethysmography (PPG) and another to measure body temperature. Data that can be easily transmitted to the most popular sports apps and various smartwatches, such as Apple Watch/Health, Garmin Watch/Connect, Strava, Peloton, and many others. The Momentum Sport also benefits from extensive integration within the Polar ecosystem, in particular by being compatible with the Polar Flow application, until now reserved for products from the eponymous brand, which allows body temperature to be analyzed and ‘have real-time information during training.

Otherwise, the Momentum Sport integrates adaptive ANC, with “an acoustic channel and semi-open design to promote natural awareness of the surroundings, while minimizing footsteps, breathing and other body-related distractions”. They have Transparency, Anti-wind and Adaptive Noise Reduction modes that dynamically adjust to the environment. They are IP55 certified, which means they have limited protection once morest dust and water – or rather sweat –, and the case is IP54 certified. Sennheiser ensures that it has not sacrificed the sound performance of its headphones by equipping them with 10mm drivers, Bluetooth 5.2 compatible and supporting the aptX Adaptive codec. Their autonomy is 6 hours and 24 hours with the case, which includes a battery. Ten minutes of fast charging via a USB-C cable should get up to 45 minutes of audio playback. The Momentum Sport will be available on April 9 for 300 euros in three colors: black, olive green and metallic gray.
