Tom's Guide Verdict

Let me just say this: Replaceable! Battery! Man, Sennheiser’s done the one thing I wish Sony, Apple, and Bose could do. This means you can, theoretically, keep using your Sennheiser Momentum 5 for years and years, long past the average lifespan of headphone batteries. On top of this, they’re super comfortable, if a little boring-looking, and have (mostly) excellent sound. A few drawbacks, though — the ANC is pretty poor, and treble can be distorted in certain genres. Overall, though, they’re a great pair of cans.

Pros

+ Replaceable battery

+ Electronic music sounds particularly fantastic

+ Super comfortable

+ Dolby Atmos for movies

+ More affordable than the competition

Cons

- Annoying treble rattling issue in some genres

- Touch controls are user-unfriendly

- ANC is nothing to write home about
