Overview
Sennheiser, founded in 1945 in Germany, is one of audio’s most respected names, with a heritage in studio and audiophile headphones (the legendary HD 600 among them). Its consumer audio line is now run by Sonova, and the Momentum wireless headphones channel that pedigree into the best sound in the mainstream ANC class, paired with class-leading battery life and — unusually — a user-replaceable battery. Noise cancellation has historically trailed Sony and Bose, though it keeps closing the gap.
Is it worth it?
Sennheiser is worth it for sound-first listeners who want the best audio, the longest battery, and a headphone built to last years — and who can accept ANC that’s very good rather than absolute best. Buyers who need class-leading noise cancellation above all should look at Sony or Bose.
