THE DIFFERENCES, MADE VISIBLE

Visual facts

Differences first. Select a topic for its graphic, sources and conditions.

How to read this comparison
  • Manufacturer facts for the exact models shown. Not a quality rating or a test result.
  • “Different” means the known values differ, not that one is better.
  • Missing or conflicting evidence is marked and never counts as a difference. Source chips hold each fact’s sources and conditions.

Open-back design

Open-back earcups are not sealed. Start here if your listening space is quiet; this construction is not a sound-quality rating.

Start with your listening environment. Open and closed earcups suit different surroundings. A closed back is not the same as active noise cancellation. Check the exact cable and headphone output. We do not turn impedance, driver size or unpaired lab results into a sound-quality score.

Manufacturer specification · Touch-pad gestures cover volume, starting/pausing music playback, calls, and ANC or Transparency Mode adjustment; the touch pad function can be deactivated. The multi-function button also serves as the on/off, voice assistant and pairing button. With Smart Pause, putting on the headphones automatically accepts an incoming phone call, and taking them off during a call mutes it until they are put back on.

WHAT EACH CHOICE ASKS OF YOU

What it brings and what to check

Sennheiser MOMENTUM 5 Wireless

What it brings

  • The rechargeable battery is designed to be swapped by the owner and the manual describes the removal steps; Sennheiser says the compatible BA 500 battery will be available in the EU and further selected countries, without naming the UK or US.
    Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
  • Sennheiser rates up to 57 hours of Bluetooth playback with ANC on, with about 2 hours for a full charge and 10 minutes giving up to 7 hours.
    Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
  • Codec support runs from SBC and AAC to aptX HD, aptX Lossless and aptX Adaptive, with two simultaneous Bluetooth connections and USB-C audio from a PC or Mac.
    Manufacturer source

What to check

  • The analogue input is a 2.5 mm socket, so the supplied cable (or a similar one) is needed; plugging it in turns Bluetooth off.
    Manufacturer source
  • Sennheiser's own documents disagree on the sensitivity figure (106 versus 108 dB at digital full scale), so it is shown as conflicting and cannot be compared with passive headphones' ratings anyway.
    Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
  • Mass is rated at about 290 g for the headphones alone.
    Manufacturer source

HyperX Cloud III

What it brings

  • One headset covers 3.5 mm, USB-C and USB-A: the 3.5 mm plug suits devices with a headphone jack, and the supplied USB dongle and adapter cover USB-C and USB-A ports.
    Manufacturer source
  • HyperX lists compatibility with PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Mac and mobile.
    Manufacturer source

What to check

  • The documented audio connections are 3.5 mm and the supplied USB dongle. The “noise-cancelling” label applies to the microphone; active noise cancellation for listening remains unestablished.
    Manufacturer source
  • HyperX lists 308 g without the microphone and 320 g with it, and publishes cable lengths only in feet on its US page.
