Sennheiser, a renowned name in audio technology, has taken center stage at CES 2024 with the announcement of three groundbreaking audio devices set to elevate the user experience. Among these, the Momentum Sport headphones steal the spotlight, bringing a fusion of durability, sophistication, and fitness tracking capabilities to the table.
Sennheiser’s latest Momentum Sport headphones are not just your ordinary workout companions. Designed to endure the rigors of a sweaty exercise session, these earbuds boast a robust build while integrating advanced features like heart rate and body temperature tracking. Unlike their predecessors, the Sport True Wireless, the Momentum Sport incorporates a built-in photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor, allowing users to monitor their heart rate during workouts.
A standout feature is the seamless integration with various sport devices and apps. According to Sennheiser’s press release, the Momentum Sport earbuds can sync with popular platforms such as Apple, Garmin, Strava, Peloton, and Polar. This enables real-time transmission of biometric data to the Polar Vantage V3 smartwatch, enhancing the overall fitness tracking experience.
Apart from fitness tracking, the Momentum Sport headphones offer the durability needed for an active lifestyle. With an IP55 rating, they can withstand dust and water splashes, making them ideal for intense workouts. The semi-open design strikes a balance, allowing users to stay aware of their surroundings, while adaptive noise cancellation provides an option to block external distractions when needed.
The Momentum Sport earbuds boast a battery life of up to six hours, extending to a total of 24 hours with the charging case. The case supports both USB-C and Qi wireless charging, providing users with flexible charging options. Supported codecs include AptX Adaptive, AAC, and SBC, ensuring a high-quality audio experience.
For fitness enthusiasts eager to upgrade their audio experience, the Momentum Sport is set to hit the shelves on April 9th, 2024, with a retail price of $329.95 (€329.99 / £259.99). In the South African market, this translates to approximately R6,248.05, offering a premium audio solution for those who prioritize both fitness and technology.
Sennheiser’s flagship Momentum True Wireless 4 earbuds cater to audiophiles seeking an unparalleled sound experience. While not designed explicitly for rugged workouts, these earbuds focus on delivering top-notch audio quality with a range of advanced features.
The Momentum True Wireless 4 earbuds support Qualcomm’s AptX Lossless technology, promising audiophile-grade audio quality. Paired with a compatible device, users can enjoy lossless CD-quality audio, setting a new standard for wireless audio.
In addition to AptX Lossless, these earbuds embrace new technologies, including Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast. Bluetooth LE Audio brings power-efficient connectivity, ensuring a longer battery life. Auracast enables one-to-many broadcasting, providing users with enhanced flexibility in audio sharing.
With a battery life of up to 7.5 hours from the earbuds themselves, and a total of 30 hours with the charging case, the Momentum True Wireless 4 competes with the top players in the true wireless earbuds market. The inclusion of adaptive noise cancellation further elevates the audio experience by minimizing external disturbances.
Audiophiles can mark their calendars for February 29th, 2024, when the Momentum True Wireless 4 is set to be available at a retail price of $299.95 (€299.99 / £259.99), approximately R5,698.05 in the South African market.
For those who prefer the immersive experience of over-ear headphones, Sennheiser introduces the Accentum Plus. These noise-canceling headphones combine comfort, functionality, and a battery life that ensures prolonged listening sessions.
The Accentum Plus headphones boast an exceptional battery life of up to 50 hours, allowing users to indulge in extended listening sessions without the need for frequent charging. For those on the go, a quick 10-minute charge via USB-C delivers a claimed five hours of listening pleasure.
Enhancing user convenience, the Accentum Plus features touch controls on the ear cups, providing intuitive control over playback, calls, and noise cancellation settings. Additionally, the headphones support AptX Adaptive and multipoint connectivity, allowing users to connect to multiple devices simultaneously.
While embracing wireless connectivity, the Accentum Plus headphones also cater to traditionalists with a 3.5mm port for wired audio sources. This versatility ensures users can enjoy their audio experience in various scenarios.
The Accentum Plus over-ear headphones are set to be the first to hit the market, with a shipping date of February 20th, 2024. Priced at $229.95 (€229.99 / £199.99), approximately R4,378.05 in South Africa, they offer a compelling option for those seeking a blend of comfort, advanced features, and immersive sound.
Sennheiser’s triumvirate of audio devices unveiled at CES 2024 promises to redefine the audio landscape. From the fitness-focused Momentum Sport to the audiophile-centric Momentum True Wireless 4 and the immersive Accentum Plus headphones, the German audio giant has demonstrated its commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology to satisfy diverse consumer preferences.
