Sennheiser Momentum 5 Review: Great sound, incredible battery life, and few compromises

森海塞尔 Momentum 5 评测：音质出色，续航惊人，且几乎没有短板

There are a lot of $300-$400 headphones on the market right now, and most of them blur together. I spent the last few weeks with the Sennheiser Momentum 5 to determine if this pair actually stands out, testing everything from sound quality and noise cancellation to comfort and battery life. At $399.99, the Momentum 5 sit right in the middle of the premium headphone market. That puts them up against the pricier Sony WH-1000XM6 and Apple AirPods Max 2, while offering a more affordable option for anyone looking for high-end headphones.

目前市面上售价在 300 到 400 美元之间的耳机非常多，其中大多数产品都大同小异。在过去的几周里，我深度体验了森海塞尔 Momentum 5，旨在通过测试音质、降噪、佩戴舒适度以及电池续航等各个方面，来判断这款耳机是否真的脱颖而出。Momentum 5 的定价为 399.99 美元，处于高端耳机市场的中间地带。这使它直接对标价格更高的索尼 WH-1000XM6 和苹果 AirPods Max 2，同时也为追求高端耳机的用户提供了一个更具性价比的选择。

Starting with sound, vocals sound natural and the bass is strong without taking over. The headphones allow you to start noticing little things in music, like a background harmony or a guitar string that cheaper headphones often tend to miss. If I had to describe the sound in one word, it’d be balanced. The headphones support Dolby Atmos, which essentially means that music or movies sound like they’re coming from all around you instead of just left and right.

先从音质说起，人声听起来非常自然，低音强劲但不会喧宾夺主。这款耳机能让你捕捉到音乐中细微的细节，比如背景和声或吉他弦音，而这些细节在廉价耳机上往往会被忽略。如果用一个词来形容它的音质，那就是“均衡”。该耳机支持杜比全景声（Dolby Atmos），这意味着音乐或电影听起来仿佛环绕在你周围，而不仅仅是从左右两侧传来。

With this generation, Sennheiser doubled the microphone count to eight to improve the active noise cancellation (ANC). Voices and nearby chatter, which are usually the kind of sounds that can cut through weaker ANC, are noticeably quieter. Sennheiser claims this pair is up to three times more effective than the previous generation at blocking this type of noise. Of course, it’s not quite at the level of blocking out everything like a plane’s engine, but it does the job effectively without making your ears feel weirdly pressurized as can be the case with some ANC headphones.

在这一代产品中，森海塞尔将麦克风数量增加了一倍，达到 8 个，以提升主动降噪（ANC）性能。人声和附近的交谈声——通常是那些容易穿透较弱降噪效果的声音——现在明显安静了许多。森海塞尔声称，这款耳机在阻隔此类噪音方面的效果比上一代提升了三倍。当然，它还达不到完全隔绝飞机引擎轰鸣那种程度，但它能有效完成降噪任务，且不会像某些降噪耳机那样让耳朵产生奇怪的压迫感。

As for comfort, the headphones aren’t as premium-feeling as Apple or Sony headphones that I’ve tried in the past, but given that the Momentum 5 cost less than its competitors, it’s a trade-off that’s hard to complain about. The battery life is genuinely impressive. It’s rated for up to 57 hours, and that figure held up in my testing. For context, that’s roughly twice the battery life of the Sony WH-1000XM6 and nearly three times that of the AirPods Max 2. And when the battery does run out, a 10-minute charge gets you up to seven hours of playback, while a full charge takes about two hours.

在舒适度方面，这款耳机的质感不如我过去尝试过的苹果或索尼耳机那么高级，但考虑到 Momentum 5 的价格低于竞争对手，这种权衡是完全可以接受的。电池续航确实令人印象深刻，官方标称续航长达 57 小时，我的测试结果也印证了这一点。作为对比，这大约是索尼 WH-1000XM6 续航的两倍，几乎是 AirPods Max 2 的三倍。当电量耗尽时，充电 10 分钟即可获得长达 7 小时的播放时间，而充满电则大约需要两个小时。

A notable difference that the Momentum 5 offers that its competitors don’t is a user-replaceable cell, which means you can swap out the battery once it degrades instead of having to buy a whole new pair. What I wasn’t expecting, but found surprisingly useful, was how thin the carrying case is. I’ve never really been able to fit a pair of headphones into my medium-sized purses, but the Momentum 5 fit perfectly. It’s also a big plus when traveling, since the case doesn’t take up much space in your luggage.

Momentum 5 与竞争对手相比的一个显著区别在于它采用了用户可更换电池设计，这意味着当电池老化时，你可以直接更换电池，而不必购买一副全新的耳机。我没预料到但觉得非常实用的一点是，它的收纳盒非常轻薄。我以前从未能将耳机放入我的中号手提包中，但 Momentum 5 可以完美放入。这对旅行来说也是一个巨大的加分项，因为收纳盒不会占用行李箱太多的空间。

With the headphones’ companion app, Smart Control Plus, you can adjust a bunch of different settings. There’s an 8-band EQ that lets you tune the sound yourself or choose from one of Sennheiser’s presets. The app also lets you adjust the level of ANC rather than just switching it on or off, and there’s an anti-wind mode you can access there too. The “Sound Personalization” feature walks you through a listening test and creates a sound profile tailored to your hearing preferences. The app gives you a decent amount of control over the Momentum 5, and I found it pretty easy to navigate as most of the settings are quite straightforward.

通过配套的应用程序“Smart Control Plus”，你可以调整各种设置。它提供了一个 8 段均衡器（EQ），让你能够自定义音效或选择森海塞尔的预设方案。该应用还允许你调节降噪等级，而不仅仅是简单的开关，此外还可以开启防风模式。“声音个性化”功能会引导你完成听力测试，并根据你的听觉偏好创建专属的声音配置文件。该应用为 Momentum 5 提供了相当不错的控制能力，而且由于大多数设置都非常直观，我发现它很容易上手。

Overall, the Sennheiser Momentum 5 is a solid option at this price. They offer great sound, the battery life is excellent, and the downsides are pretty minor. They’re heavier than the Sony WH-1000XM6, and aren’t as comfortable as some Sony or Apple options, but at $399.99, they’re cheaper than both while still delivering where it matters.

总的来说，森海塞尔 Momentum 5 在这个价位上是一个非常扎实的选择。它们音质出色，续航卓越，且缺点非常轻微。虽然它们比索尼 WH-1000XM6 更重，佩戴舒适度也不如某些索尼或苹果的产品，但在 399.99 美元的价位下，它们比两者都便宜，同时在关键性能上依然表现出色。
