They have a six-hour battery life and a come with a leather case.

A three-button remote and in-line microphone for making calls and controlling music are integrated into the cable between the earpieces. Multi-connection with up to two devices at once and 3-way calling support are also provided. An intuitive system of voice prompts provides notifications on the pairing status and battery life.

Ear adaptors provided in four different sizes ensure a personalised fit in the ear canals for  comfort and attenuation of ambient noise. Sennheiser’s MOMENTUM Free will be available from October.
