Sennheiser announces the arrival of MOMENTUM Sport earbuds today, designed for athletes and sports enthusiasts. These earbuds, initially introduced at CES earlier in the year, merge superior sound quality with the latest sensor technologies, offering users a unique workout experience.
David Holm, Sennheiser Sports Product Manager, explains the development process spanned over three years to create earbuds that are central to any workout, providing heart rate and body temperature data alongside excellent sound.
Core Features
- Integrated Sensors: MOMENTUM Sport includes a photoplethysmography (PPG) heart rate sensor and a body temperature sensor, compatible with popular fitness apps for real-time workout feedback.
- Sennheiser Sound: Tailored for athletic activities, these earbuds aim to make workouts more effective with motivational soundtracks and precise health metrics.
- Sensor Placement: Sensors are located in the ear canal for stable and accurate feedback during intense physical activities.
- Control Features: Users can manage music and calls with simple finger taps, thanks to integrated accelerometers and touch sensors.
Fitness App Integration
MOMENTUM Sport connects with numerous sports apps and devices, including Apple Watch and Garmin. Unique to a non-Polar product, it offers full access to Polar’s sensing capabilities and data analytics through Polar Flow, enhancing workout sessions with detailed performance tracking and coaching.
Acoustic Engineering for Fitness
The earbuds are designed to minimize distractions like footstep noise through an acoustic relief channel. With a semi-open design, users remain aware of their surroundings, and can select from Transparency mode, Anti-wind mode, and Adaptive Noise Cancelling mode to suit environmental changes.
Built for the Fitness Lifestyle
With IP55 resistance against sweat and water and a shock-proof build, MOMENTUM Sport is ready for any workout challenge. Simple tap gestures allow for easy control, and the design includes various ear fins and tips for a secure, comfortable fit.
Extended Battery Life
The carrying case provides up to 24 hours of total playback time, with quick-charging available for urgent needs. The earbuds also support Qi wireless charging for added convenience.
MOMENTUM Sport is now available at Sennheiser retailers and online, priced at $329.95 USD / $449.95 CAD, in three color options: Polar Black, Burned Olive, and Metallic Graphite.
The MOMENTUM Sport earbuds are designed to be a comprehensive fitness companion, combining Sennheiser’s audio excellence with innovative health tracking to enrich the workout experience for athletes and enthusiasts alike.
