Sennheiser rolled out Momentum Sport, a wireless headset built for athletes and active listeners, with a suite of biometric features that track real-time wellness data. The information surfaced in coverage by MacRumors and has been used to highlight the headset’s fitness-oriented design.
Designed with sport enthusiasts in mind, Momentum Sport includes a heart-rate sensor and a body-temperature sensor. These measurements sync with the user’s Apple Health ecosystem, offering a convenient way to monitor cardiovascular effort and thermal state during workouts. The headset also integrates with a broad range of fitness platforms beyond Apple Health, with compatibility confirmed for Strava, Garmin, Peloton and Polar ecosystems, enabling athletes to incorporate biometric readings into established training workflows.
The device features an acoustic channel engineered to reduce the intrusion of footfalls, breaths, and other bodily sounds. Its semi-open design balances natural sound with active feedback, which is particularly valuable for runners, cyclists, and outdoor athletes who need situational awareness while staying plugged into their training metrics.
Momentum Sport offers multiple listening modes to adapt to different environments. Transparency mode lets in ambient noise for safety and awareness, while Windproof mode minimizes wind noise during outdoor sessions. Adaptive Noise Cancellation further tunes out unwanted sound when the surroundings are noisy. Sennheiser claims a refreshed acoustic system that aims to deliver standout audio performance in the sports headphone category, emphasizing clarity, balance, and dynamic range. The device carries an IP55 rating for moisture resistance and has a rugged housing designed to withstand active use and light impacts common in workouts.
When it comes to pricing and availability, Momentum Sport was positioned at $330 and announced for a release window that included early 2024. The product’s timing and price point reflect a push to combine premium sound with health-tracking capabilities in a single wearable audio solution for athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike.
Recent product news also highlighted JBL’s earlier announcement of TWS headphones featuring a screen integrated into the case, illustrating ongoing innovation in the true wireless space and the broader consumer interest in connected, health-aware audio devices.
