Design:
The Sennheiser Accentum Plus Wireless headphones boast a sleek and stylish design that exudes quality. Not quite as luxurious as the Momentum 4 headphones, but Accentum Plus is about half the price of the Momentum line.
Crafted from high-quality materials like stainless steel and genuine and soft leather, these headphones not only look sophisticated but also feel durable. The ear cups are padded with soft leather for comfort during extended listening sessions, and the adjustable headband ensures a snug fit but without the head compressing feel for different head sizes.
Sound Quality:
One of the standout features of the Accentum Plus Wireless headphones is their exceptional sound quality and true to the Sennheiser sound.
Equipped with Sennheiser’s renowned audio technology, these headphones deliver rich, detailed sound with crisp highs without going overboard, smooth and open mids, with deep, powerful, and dynamic bass. Whether you’re listening to music, watching movies or taking calls, the audio reproduction is clear and immersive, allowing you to fully appreciate your favourite content in pretty much any environment.
Noise Cancellation:
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is another highlight of the Accentum Plus Wireless headphones. The ANC technology effectively reduces ambient noise, allowing you to enjoy your music without distractions, even in noisy environments such as airplanes or screeching subway cars. The adjustable ANC feature lets you customize the level of noise cancellation according to your preferences, giving you control over your listening experience.
Connectivity:
These headphones offer seamless wireless connectivity via Bluetooth, allowing you to pair with your smartphone, tablet, or laptop effortlessly. The Bluetooth range is impressive, ensuring a stable connection even when you’re moving around. Additionally, the Accentum Plus Wireless headphones support aptX codec for high-quality audio streaming, ensuring maximum audio fidelity.
Battery Life:
With a long-lasting battery life of up to 50 hours on a single charge (tested to last 48 hours, in my case), the Accentum Plus Wireless headphones are perfect for all-day use. Whether you’re commuting, working, or traveling, you can enjoy uninterrupted music playback without worrying about running out of battery. The headphones also feature a quick charge function, providing hours of playback with just a short charging time.
Comfort and Fit:
Comfort is key when it comes to headphones, and the Accentum Plus Wireless doesn’t disappoint. The ear cups are generously padded and ergonomically designed to provide a comfortable fit, even during extended wear such as my flight from Toronto to Indonesia and back (24 hours each way including layover). The adjustable and nicely squishy headband ensures a secure and customized fit for my odd head shape and gigantic head, allowing me to wear the headphones for hours without discomfort. I personally can wear the Accentum upwards to two hours each “session”. Something that thus far can only be equaled by my Sony X1000m3 headphones I bought several years ago at double the price of the Accentum Plus.
Controls and Convenience:
The Accentum Plus Wireless headphones feature intuitive controls for easy operation. The ear cups have built-in touch controls for managing music playback, adjusting volume, and answering calls with a simple tap or swipe. Additionally, the headphones come with a companion app that allows you to customize settings, update firmware, and access additional features, enhancing the overall user experience although quite honestly, I personally don’t use. Not because it’s bad but because I use so many different headphones and I can’t remember which gestures on which headphones do what.
Overall:
The Sennheiser Accentum Plus Wireless headphones combine premium feel, exceptional sound quality, advanced features, and long-lasting comfort to deliver an outstanding listening experience for a low price of $230. Whether you’re a music enthusiast, a frequent traveler, or someone who appreciates quality audio, these headphones are surely worth the entrance fee.
