Very good sound and noise cancelling plus useful vitals tracking, but a premium price and slightly flat bass compared with other Sennheiser buds.
Read GadgetGuy review - 80T3
Comfortable, great-sounding earbuds that track heart rate and temperature with an excellent app, a worthwhile buy for fitness fans though no wrist-wearable replacement.
Read T3 review - 80Android Central
Combines excellent sound with in-ear health tracking and plenty of personalization, but is expensive and has average battery and overly sensitive touch controls.
Read Android Central review - 80PCMag
Premium sports earbuds with deep, powerful sound, secure fit and built-in heart-rate and temperature sensing, though costly with noise cancelling that is not class-leading.
Read PCMag review - 77soundguys.com
The best choice if you want biometrics in your earbuds, but expensive, and cheaper workout earbuds can match or beat it on sound, noise cancelling and battery.
Read soundguys.com review - 72Engadget
Excellent biometric tracking and a better design than the Momentum 4, but uneven sound, annoying controls triggered by chewing and a high price keep them from being a go-to pair.
Read Engadget review - 70TechRadar
Great fit, customisation and clear sound, but pricey and not top-tier in sound or noise cancelling.
Read TechRadar review - 70Trusted Reviews
Stay-put sports earbuds with good durability and big, customisable sound, but the fitness sensing is not groundbreaking and needs Polar's app for full benefit.
Read Trusted Reviews review - 60How-To Geek
Good sound but large buds that were uncomfortable and fiddly, with fitness features that need a phone and a price that is too high.
Read How-To Geek review - 83est.The Verge
Fitness earbuds that stay put and deliver heart rate tracking close to a chest strap while sounding good.
Read The Verge review - 71est.AndroidGuys
Reliable heart rate and temperature sensing in a comfortable design, but inconsistent sound and a flimsy case make the price hard to justify.
Read AndroidGuys review - 71est.Wareable
Decent sound and good noise cancelling with a convenient heart rate sensor, but the readings can drop out, runners are poorly served and the price is steep.
Read Wareable review - 61est.The Run Testers
The Sennheiser Momentum Sport earbuds offer excellent sound quality and useful fitness tracking features, but their high price and inconsistent heart rate accuracy make them difficult to recommend over cheaper alternatives.
