Ingress fans all over the world can now enjoy Sennheiser’s MOMENTUM On-Ear Ingress Special Editions. Audio specialist Sennheiser released two designs of the headphones, showing the support of the users to the specific team they vouch for in the popular adventure game.

For those who are not familiar with the game, Ingress is a Google Niantic Labs’ real-world adventure game, which is currently being enjoyed by over 200 countries and 7 million players all over the world. A smartphone-based competitive game, it was made to transform and use real world landmarks into portals and assets that can be controlled and seized inside the game. Using the geo-location technology of smartphones to use the landmarks and locations near the players at that very moment, Ingress gives them the feel of reality inside the game. If interested, the game is available on these devices:

  • Android
  • iPads
  • iPhones

For the MOMENTUM On-Ear special editions, players can choose the color of their respective faction- Green for the Enlightened and Blue for Resistance. This is why there are two versions of the headphones for the Ingress special edition.

With the game’s name featured on top of the metal logo plate, located at the black headband, the real jewel in the MOMENTUM On-Ear Ingress special editions are its ear cups. The respective color of the faction the user chose will show around the side of the black ear cups, as well as the logo of the faction. And the best thing is that the headphones is bundled with one of the five rare and exclusive collectible passcode cards of Ingress.

Besides the Ingress-specific features of the special edition headphones, it also has the famous Sennheiser audio quality that provides clear and premium sound quality for the users and the perfect comfort-style combination, that the company has been providing its users for years. Since a neodymium magnet transducer system is integrated in the headphones, users can be assured that they would have nothing but high quality and detailed stereo sound. And with the earpads’ breathable Alcantara to take care of the comfort and at the same time be responsible for insulate protection from external sounds, MOMENTUM On-Ear is made of stainless steel structured into a stylish headband slider for better fit and elegant style.

MOMENTUM On-Ear Ingress Special Editions is the second collaborative project from Sennheiser and Niantic Labs. The first one is the Sennheiser’s ongoing social video projects called ‘What’s Your MOMENTUM?’, which aims to present inspirational stories from real people regarding technical innovation, human creativity, and passion. In the video, Sennheiser featured the Hamburg-based creative agency, Philipp and Keuntje, and the Ingress global community, specifically with how it uses technology to incorporate the real world in the gaming world and how the enormous gaming platform is shared all over the world by millions.

Sennheiser Global Marketing Communications Uwe Cremering speaks high of Ingress and said, “The community of Ingress players is a testament to this spirit of MOMENTUM. They are fusing technology with something authentic and passionate. Ingress also takes on the world – it’s quite literally about being on the move and exploring. A special edition of our brilliantly portable MOMENTUM On-Ear is a fitting way to celebrate this sense of adventure without compromise.”

Google’s Niantic Labs Vice President John Hanke also shared his views about Sennheiser. He said, “Sennheiser’s custom Ingress MOMENTUM headphones are a great way for Ingress agents to immerse themselves in the experience while exploring and interacting with the real-world. It also gives players a chance to show off their team colours in their day-to-day life.”
