Sennheiser Accentum tech specs: Weight: 7.8 oz. | Battery life: 60+ hours (ANC off) | Bluetooth: Yes (5.2) | Multipoint: Yes
Who these are for: The Sennheiser Accentum are great headphones for budding audiophiles on a budget. They offer clear and detailed audio, and you don’t need fancy equipment and access to other Bluetooth codecs for high-quality sound. However, if you’re looking for strong noise-canceling abilities, these may not be for you since the ANC is weak.
Why I recommend them: The Sennheiser Accentum are an affordable sibling to the company’s flagship headphones, the Sennheiser Momentum 4, which we love for their clear, detailed, and vibrant sound. The Accentum’s sound quality is definitely the headphones’ major selling point, as their internal audio components are almost identical to the Momentum 4.
For their $180 price tag, the Accentum have a sturdy and sleek build. Although you don’t need fancy audio codecs, these headphones are compatible with Snapdragon’s AptX and AptX HD codecs for higher-quality audio over a Bluetooth connection.
Cons, but not dealbreakers: The Sennheiser Accentum headphones may be uncomfortable for people with larger heads and ears. Through my testing, I found that the headphones’ small ear cups and tight fit weren’t suitable for hours-long wear. The Accentum omits a headphone jack, so you won’t get CD-quality lossless audio, which is unfortunate considering their amazing sound quality.
