Sennheiser has introduced two new true wireless earbuds designed for different listening preferences: the flagship Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 5 and the open-ear ACCENTUM Clip. These products bring the company’s audio technology to listeners seeking either immersive, feature-rich sound or greater awareness of their surroundings.
MOMENTUM True Wireless 5
The MOMENTUM True Wireless 5 receives has been redesigned with a focus on comfort, portability, connectivity, and long-term usability. Its new fin-less housing uses data from thousands of unique ear models to create an aerodynamic, “barely there” fit. As such, 73% of testers rated the fit as more comfortable than the previous generation.
The earbuds are equipped with Sennheiser’s 7mm TrueResponse dynamic transducers, developed and tested at the company’s production facility in Tullamore, Ireland. Bluetooth 6.0, aptX Adaptive, and aptX Lossless support provide a high-resolution wireless audio pathway of up to 24-bit and 96 kHz on compatible sources.
These also feature revised adaptive hybrid active noise cancellation and an automatic anti-wind mode, along with a redesigned ear tip works with a dedicated four-microphone array to improve noise reduction and transparency performance. There are six microphones utilized for voice calls, two bone-conduction voice accelerometers, and an AI speech-extraction algorithm designed to isolate speech in noisy environments.
The MOMENTUM True Wireless 5 is also optimized for Dolby Atmos with interactive head tracking. This creates a spatial audio experience intended to produce a theater-like sound field through compatible entertainment.
It also uses a user-replaceable battery system in both the earbuds and wireless charging case. Users can refresh the power cells with a compact screwdriver. This helps to extend the product’s usable life beyond normal battery degradation. The earbuds provide up to 12 hours of playback per charge, while the Qi-enabled case raises total runtime to 40 hours. An eight-minute quick charge can provide up to one hour of listening.
The earbuds support Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, multipoint switching, and a selectable robust mode for maintaining signal strength in crowded wireless environments. The Smart Control Plus app adds an eight-band equalizer, Sound Personalization, and additional customization options.
ACCENTUM Clip
The Sennheiser ACCENTUM Clip takes a different approach with an open-ear clip-on design. Its flexible silicone construction keeps the earbuds positioned near the ear without sealing the ear canal, allowing users to remain naturally aware of surrounding sounds.
Each earbud weighs 6.8 grams and carries an IP54 rating for dust and sweat resistance. It uses 12mm dynamic drivers for detailed sound, punchy bass, and smooth treble. The Dynamic EQ adjusts tonal balance as listening volume changes, and LDAC support enables high-resolution streaming on compatible devices.
The earbuds use Bluetooth 6.0, multipoint connectivity, Google Fast Pair, and independent earbud operation. Voice calls are supported by a dual-microphone system and AI noise reduction designed to separate the wearer’s voice from background noise.
The Sennheiser ACCENTUM Clip offers up to nine hours of playback on a single charge and up to 36 hours with its charging case, with a 10-minute USB Type-C charge providing up to two hours of playback. The Smart Control Plus app includes a five-band equalizer, shareable presets, and guided Sound Check prompts.
Color Options
The Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 5 comes in Graphite, Cream, Copper, Denim, and Lavender, while the ACCENTUM Clip is offered in Black and Cream and ships in plastic-free packaging.
