Accentum Wireless

"Coming from the Sony XM4s, I can confidently say these sound cleaner, more detailed, and better tuned."

Users consistently praise the sound quality, describing it as clean, detailed, neutral, and better tuned than competitors like Sony, with tight bass and clear mids and highs.

"But there is also significant problems depending how you will use the headphones. Really BAD clamp force. Whenever i tilt my head down it always slides down."

Comfort is a mixed bag; some find the pads soft and the fit good for long sessions, while others experience issues with clamping force causing them to slide or being too tight for workouts.

"And let’s not forget the battery life — it easily beats the XM4s there too."

Battery life is overwhelmingly praised, with users stating it easily beats competitors and offers exceptional playback time, even exceeding advertised hours.

"Build quality - it decent, feels premium (plastic but still)"

The build quality is generally described as decent and premium-feeling for the price, though not as robust or premium as some higher-end competitors.

"Really buggy touch controls: w//o smart control the touch control is BUGGY."

Features like touch controls are mentioned as working well by some, but others report them as buggy and inconvenient. Connectivity is generally stable, especially with specific dongles, but not a standout feature.

"Solid and weighty they may be, but the Accentum lack spark and rhythmic drive, preventing them from really digging into the soul and spirit of your favourite musical treats."

The sound is described as balanced and clean, particularly with EQ adjustments, but frequently criticized for lacking dynamism, spark, and rhythmic drive, leading to a 'bland' or 'listless' profile.

"The Sennheiser Accentum are a comfortable, reasonably-made pair of headphones that have the reassuringly solid build quality we’ve come to expect from Sennheiser."

Users generally found the headphones comfortable for long listening sessions due to their light weight and adequate padding, though some noted ear-warming and a slightly tight clamping force.

"In terms of features, a hefty 50-hour battery life is the real standout here, with that number rivalling more premium models such as the Sony WH-1000XM5 and the Bose QuietComfort 45."

The battery life is consistently praised as exceptional, with reviewers noting it easily meets or exceeds the advertised 50 hours, a standout feature for the price.

"The plastic on the Accentum feels less refined and less smooth to the touch, with parts of it towards the edges feeling a bit sharper and not rounded."

The build quality is frequently described as cheap, plasticky, and less refined than competitors or Sennheiser's own higher-end models, feeling more like a budget product.

"As you can probably hear, there’s an issue with noise rejection and mitigating wind noise, but intelligibility is okay."

Call quality is described as decent but not exceptional, with some reviewers noting issues with wind noise and a less natural sound compared to competitors.

"Multipoint pairing is available with up to two devices."

The headphones offer good codec support (aptX, aptX HD) and multipoint connectivity, but lack premium features like a 3.5mm jack or a carrying case, and the app's EQ can be finicky.

"Thats being said they sound Amazing, ANC is good enough so i can listen music while in a very loud subway..."

Users consistently praise the sound quality, often calling it 'amazing,' 'great,' or 'undeniably great,' especially considering the price point, with some even preferring it over more expensive models for music.

"The biggest issue for me is that its impossible to wear them for long when its hot, leather really makes a damn sauna in ur ears..."

Comfort is a mixed bag; while some find them light and fitting nicely, others report issues with earcups feeling small, ears getting warm quickly, and the material creating a 'sauna' effect, making long listening sessions uncomfortable.

"i charge them once in a week, grab&go, what else do u need from mid range headphones?"

The battery life is overwhelmingly praised, with users frequently mentioning charging them only once a week and citing the 50-hour figure as a significant advantage.

"Got these after a couple of good reviews, but will be returning them. The build feels very plasticky, the fit is not optimal..."

Comments on build quality are divided, with some finding them to have a premium design and good durability, while others explicitly state the build 'feels very plasticky'.

"And the problem is these headphones have separate mode for wind-protection and if it's off u can hear all wind around u with like 2x loudness, and each time u turn headphones on the wind-protection turned off on default so u have to go to the app and turn it on every time and thats really annoying simetimes..."

The inclusion of USB-C audio is appreciated, and connectivity is generally stable with the new app, but the default ANC-always-on setting and the need to manually switch modes are noted annoyances.
