$400 Momentum 5 Wireless headphones go on sale June 16, giving Sennheiser its first flagship over-ear refresh in nearly four years.
Four microphones on each ear cup — up from two per side — are meant to sharpen active noise cancellation, with Sennheiser claiming up to three times better suppression of human voices and clearer call quality.
Hi-Res Audio certification, Snapdragon Sound and aptX Lossless support headline the audio upgrades, while a day-one update will add Dolby Atmos head tracking and later firmware is planned for Bluetooth 6.0.
Battery life slips to 57 hours from 60 on the Momentum 4, but the new model adds a user-replaceable 700mAh battery and a five-minute quick charge for up to three hours of playback.
