Design & Comfort

The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds are provided with silicone ear tips in extra small, small, medium, and large sizes. Talking about the size of the earbuds, they are kind of bulky but the fit they provide is excellent.

One of the neat things about the Sennheiser Momentums is that they will stop playing music once pulled out of the ears and when put back, they will start playing music instantly.

Each earbud has magnets that allow it to easily snap into place inside its charging case. The charging case lid is also magnetic so that it stays closed.

These earbuds also do not hold back when it comes to looks. Each earbud is matte black with a silver touch-sensitive surface that also has the Sennheiser branding. 

And, just like the earbuds, the charging case is also a combination of black and silver. The outside of it is covered with a silver fabric while the Sennheiser branding can be seen both inside and outside the lid of the charging case. 

Right behind the charging case is the USB Type C port to charge the case along with an LED to indicate battery life. The LED light turns yellow when the case is charging, green to show that the case is 100% fully charged, and red when there is 0% charge left. 

Additionally, a button is also located there, which is to be used to find out the power status of the earbuds and the case.
