Music and sports have a fascinating relationship, influencing both athletes and spectators. It is a well known fact that listening to music while exercising can enhance your athletic performance.
Dr. Costas Karageorghis, a researcher on music for performance said that one can think of music as a type of legal performance-enhancing drug. His research paper goes on to state that four factors were thought to contribute to the motivational qualities of a musical piece. Rhythm, Musicality, Cultural Impact and Association.
However, it is not surprising that these same qualities help to differentiate between average and amazing earbuds.
Musicality of the Sennheiser Momentum Sport
Combining impressive sound quality with fitness tracking features the Sennheiser Momentum Sport works on providing amateur and professional athletes with that enhanced musical experience immersed with integrated performance tracking sensors.
The goal behind the design of the Sennheiser’s Momentum Sport were to look at how you could enhance the Musicality through some of the performance enhancing qualities associated with music.
For athletes, the pulse-pounding Rhythmic sound will supercharge their music with Sennheiser‘s 10mm diameter dynamic speaker. The all-new acoustic system features a redesigned transducer that handily delivers the best sound quality yet in a Sennheiser sport earbud.
These Momentum Sport earbuds feature an acoustic relief channel and semi-open design for natural environmental awareness. This enables the earbuds to minimize the noise of an athlete, so they can focus on the musicality. Additionally, adjustable Transparency mode, Anti-wind mode, and Adaptive Noise Cancelling mode let the wearer easily adapt as their surroundings change.
There are some other cool but essential features including enhanced playback time from up to 6 hours to 24 total hours (with the Qi-enabled carrying case), a shock-proof chassis, and clog-resistant ear tips.
Data Performance tracking
The Momentum Sport earbuds stand out due to their unique combination of features.
These earbuds track your heart rate during workouts, thanks to a partnership with Polar. You can ditch your watch or heart rate strap and get accurate data directly from the earbuds. The heart rate data connects and integrates seamlessly with many popular sport devices and apps, such as Apple Watch/Health, Garmin Watch/Connect, Strava, Peloton and more.
In addition to heart rate, the Momentum Sport also measures the temperature in your ears. This innovative feature provides additional insights into your body’s response during exercise.
The device integrates both a photoplethysmography (PPG) heart rate sensor and a body temperature sensor that can each output critical data. This offers the user real-time insights during training.
The Momentum Sport offers unparalleled comfort and functionality, making it a worthwhile investment for fitness enthusiasts.
