Summary
$399.99 Momentum 5 headphones impressed in testing with balanced sound, strong bass and natural vocals, standing out in a crowded $300-$400 premium segment.
57-hour battery life held up in use—about twice Sony WH-1000XM6 and nearly three times AirPods Max 2—with 10 minutes of charging adding up to seven hours.
Eight microphones power improved ANC that noticeably cuts voices and chatter, while a user-replaceable battery and slim carrying case add practical advantages rivals do not offer.
Trade-offs remain: the headphones are heavier than Sony's and feel less premium or comfortable than some Sony and Apple models, but the review judged those compromises minor for the price.
