Sennheiser MOMENTUM In-Ear Wireless Neckband Earphones

Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear Wireless – Design and Features

The Momentum are Sennheiser’s series of ‘luxury’ style headphones for folk with a ‘normal’ budget, not those with the money to spend on a pair of Sennheiser. This luxury edge in the Momentum In-Ear Wireless can be seen in the real leather used on the neckband.

I’ve worn plenty of odd headphones that use synthetic leather, but the Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear Wireless use sheepskin nappa leather, which also makes an appearance in the it’s a signature move.

The earpieces themselves are similar to those of the wired Momentum in-ear, with a slightly odd disc at the rear of each, through which the cable loops. They’re a little like cartoon bombs, if you squint.

One benefit of the large band is that the Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear Wireless can fit in their controls easily. The inside of the left part features the standard three-button layout of a phone remote, letting you play/pause, change volume and switch tracks without anything more complicated than a double-tap.

These buttons are easy to use blind, and are well positioned, ending up down by your collarbone when worn. The end of this side of the neckband pulls off to reveal the micro-USB charge socket.

Looking closer, this part isn’t rubber-sealed, it’s just a plastic bung. I didn’t require anymore convincing that the Sennheiser Momentum In-Ear Wireless don’t appear to be made for sport, but a look at the user manual confirms it. “Keep all liquids away from this product” it reads, letting you know these earphones aren’t at all water resistant.
