Sennheiser Momentum 5 Headphones Deliver Rich Audiophile Sound
Sennheiser’s Momentum 5 headphones are designed to make music sound rich and detailed.
They use 42mm drivers inspired by the company’s HD 600 headphones.
Voices come through clearly, and instruments sound full of character.
The bass gives electronic songs and movie music extra weight.
The sound is smooth and relaxed rather than especially punchy.
Connecting with a cable can make the sound feel fuller and bring the middle tones into sharper focus.
The review says the headphones balance an enjoyable sound with refinement.
