MOMENTUM True Wireless 5

Sennheiser's Momentum True Wireless 5 cut noise by nearly 85% in one test, and all three batteries swap out.

Buying call

Buy the Momentum True Wireless 5 if you want flagship ANC earbuds you can keep for years: the batteries in both buds and the case can be replaced with a 00 screwdriver. One lab test measured just under 85% less perceived outside noise with ANC on, and you get Bluetooth 6.0 with aptX Lossless and multipoint. Skip them if battery life per charge matters, because they lasted 6 h 17 min in one ANC-on test, well short of Sennheiser's claim, and LE Audio and Auracast wait on a future firmware update. They cost more than the $249 AirPods Pro 3 (Apple, Oct 8, 2026), lab testing found the treble uneven, there are no stabilizer fins, and opening the buds can damage the gasket behind their IP54 rating.
