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 MIX 2

What it brings

Battery life is published for each mode and connection — up to 70 hours with ANC on Bluetooth and 52 hours with ANC on the 2.4 GHz dongle — tested at 50% volume.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
Three ways to connect — the 2.4 GHz USB-C dongle (latency as low as 20 ms), Bluetooth 5.3 LE Audio and a detachable 3.5 mm cable — with the dongle stored in the ear cup.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source
The headset's audio controls include a noise-control mode for hybrid ANC and Transparency, and EQ presets are available in HyperX NGENUITY.
Manufacturer source Manufacturer source

What to check

Voice pickup uses built-in microphones rather than a boom microphone, and Xbox is not in the compatibility list.
