Sennheiser
Promises award-winning design and premium features
Comfort and fit are a priority
The company says the earbuds were designed in collaboration with hearing aid manufacturer Sonova to craft a comfortable, stable, and good looking form and fit. Sennheiser wrote that the earbuds were a recent Red Dot Design Award winner while still under a “veil of secrecy.” The earbuds come with four ear tip sizes to make sure you get a perfect fit and maximize your listening experience. The earbuds will come in black and white colorways.
The Accentum True Wireless, like its over-ear counterparts, has both ANC and transparency modes, which are controllable using tap gestures on the earbuds or in the Sennheiser Smart Control app. The app also includes a 5-band equalizer and the preset creation tool Sound Check, which is available with other Sennheiser headphones and earbuds as well.
These earbuds do slightly differ from the previous Accentum headphones with the upgrade to Bluetooth 5.3, making them capable of utilizing Bluetooth LE Audio, and by extension Auracast. LE Audio is a lower energy and better quality connectivity version of Bluetooth that can stream with a higher bitrate than classic Bluetooth, and Auracast allows for audio sharing over Bluetooth LE. The Aceentum True Wireless supports the SBC, AAC, aptX and LC3 Bluetooth codecs, so Android users have lots of codec options to choose from.
Auracast is the Bluetooth broadcast feature you never knew you needed
The ability to broadcast and receive Bluetooth audio has been around for a while, but it’s finally taking off.
With these battery-saving connectivity options taken into account, the Accentum True Wireless has a battery life of up to 8 hours, and 28 hours including the case, according to Sennheiser. Additionally, they can be charged over USB-C or through Qi wireless charging. Sennheiser states that quick charging over USB-C can also provide an hour of playback in 10 minutes.
Sennheiser Accentum review: Hitting the mid-range
The new mid-range Accentum headphones from Sennheiser offer ANC at a lower price, and knock it out the park.
When and where can I buy the Sennheiser Accentum True Wireless earbuds?
Launching with mid-range pricing for premium branding
The Sennheiser Accentum True Wireless is now available for pre-order, and they’ll be available for purchase on May 21, 2024, for $200.
While $200 is still pretty steep for any pair of earbuds, this is Sennheiser we’re talking about. While we have yet to see how these earbuds will actually perform, if the Accentum Wireless and Wireless Plus are any indication, these earbuds will likely be a solid alternative for anyone who loves Sennheiser products but doesn’t want to drop $300 on a pair of earbuds like Sennheiser’s Momentum True Wireless 4.
