Sennheiser ACCENTUM Wireless Bluetooth Headphones - 50-Hour Battery Life, Audio, Hybrid Noise Cancelling (ANC), All-Day Comfort and Clear Voice Pick-up for Calls, Black

super comfy. doesn’t pull my hair when i’m moving them around or taking them off which I love. feel like a great fit around my ears, not just smushing them. charge quick, good battery life. no issues with sound quality. great look.pairing is sometimes annoying since it will only connect to two devices at once, and you can usually control connection with your phone but sometimes it doesn’t work. also, i’m not the biggest fan of the touch controls system- i don’t think the gestures are super effective, particularly the single tap for pauses and the double tap for changing NC mode.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Sounds great on the plane. Quality:High quality drivers normally found in higher costing models are very affordable here.

Nice fit, reasonably comfortable to wear for about an hour. Only drawback I can spot at this point is that the controls on the side are a bit too sensitive and one can pause the music unintentionally.

Amazing sound and build! Love these the sound is excellent.

The sound of a waterfall in my right ear never sounded so annoying.This review is in two parts. In the second part, I’ll talk about the Sennheiser brand and headphone build quality. In the first part, I need to get some gripes off my chest about the “refurbished” label given out by Amazon.Part One: RefurbishedOkay… I tried to save $40. Why not? At the purchase screen, I saw that I could save some cash on already cheap headphones, and I took the bait. No worries. Pre-owned is pre-owned, and I know the value of a dollar. It seemed like a no-brainer, but after less than 2 months these headphones are the bane of my existence. I use them for work. I’m a media guy, and I cut and edit video all day every day. I use my headphones when I mow my yard or go in long walks in the sun (that’s why I bought headphones with a rubber head cushion and faux leather ear pads). Upon inspection, I see something glaring that I need you to know: this model is too crap to deserve the “repaired” label. There is no way to repair something built like this. Lesson learned. Buyer beware.Part Two: Sennheiser and this Crud DesignI got ticked off, man. In the past, I’ve bought $300 Bose headphones and worn them to DEATH. More than 3 years of capital “A” abuse per pair, and I’m the guy wearing mid quality Bose QCOE’s in Afghanistan. You better believe I expected these Sennheiser headphones to work for more than 3 months. Nope. Not happening. I didn’t understand why until I got p****ed AF. I’m over here trying to listen to a project I’ve color coded and edited for a professional movie studio, and it sounds like I’m decoding the enigma machine during a submarine operation. The right can is hissing, chirping, scratching like a record. After two weeks of smacking them to get the sound to lay low, I got angry. I pulled them off my head and the force of my meaty hands separated the can from the headband. Okay… this isn’t mature behavior, but I was ticked off. Like I said, I know the value of a dollar, and I know when I’ve spent money on a subpar product. The pad came off, and I thought I could take it apart and fix it.I did. I took it apart, at least. I reassembled it, too. Flawlessly. Four screws, some whip it (condensed air) on standby, and I even cut my hand working (so you know my redneck roots came out). HERE’S THE MAIN PROBLEM: The wires are bare on a cramped motherboard. The motherboard is the diameter of the entire right can, but the welding components are squished together super tight. The wires (I can’t believe this still) are BARE. I’m saying the wires are not insulated, but they are contained into two rubber tubes. That means that an ounce of humidity in the air will cause cross-traffic between these wires (which are welded so closely together they MUST overlap when the can is screwed together. Unbelievable shit design. Unbelievable. How in the sam hell is this a finished product? I bought Sennheisers because I wanted to see what a low budget option meant to them. Let me put this gently: if Sennheiser designed a microwave, it would explode. This is not proper wiring. Jesus…I sprayed the cans out and reassembled them to see if miracles really do happen, but no. In two days, these headphones will be right back where they started. Even now, I can hear Niagara in my right ear.DO NOT BUY THESE. Even brand new, the design is unbelievably terrible. I think I’ve redefined my idea of Sennheiser as a brand after owning these for less than 60 days. Save yourself the trouble and buy a pair of $30 Sony’s. They’ll sound like crap, but at least the sound isn’t a feedback nightmare. Even new, these headphones sounded were like a Nokia phone in a coffee can. Now they just sound like someone actively trying to interrupt my music or audiobook or job with a message from space.Avoid these. Hard pass.

Absolutely Fabulous, sound quality is awesome!!!

These headphones are incredible! The sound quality is rich and immersive, and the hybrid ANC does a great job blocking out distractions. The 50-hour battery life is a huge plus—no more constant recharging. The included Bluetooth dongle makes pairing seamless, whether with USB-A or USB-C. Sleek design, comfortable fit, and premium performance, totally worth it!

I picked up these up as an upgrade from my old Soundcore Q30s, for bedroom use where ANC and balanced sound are key for me.Right off the bat, the sound quality is a considerable improvement over the Q30s in every aspect. The lows are rich, the bass is more than punchy enough for electronic music, and the overall soundstage is very clean and detailed. The in-app control features are also a nice touch, offering good customization.However, a few things kept these from being a perfect fit for me. The touch controls are quite sensitive. There's definitely a learning curve if you're new to Sennheiser's consumer line, and I admit I didn't fully master them as I just use keyboard media keys. They did glitch out on me once, which wasn't ideal.My biggest issue, unfortunately, was with the on-ear detection and physical fit. These headphones don't seem designed for larger ears at all. My ears just barely fit inside the cups, and because of this, the slightest head adjustment or even minor ear movement would trigger the wear sensor, constantly pausing and playing whatever I was listening to. This became super annoying very quickly.The ANC is a mixed bag. It's good– really good at blocking noise, actually. But for me, it physically hurts after a while. Anything above 70% ANC intensity brought on that "cabin pressure" feeling, and after 30-40 minutes, I'd start to get a head rush. This forced me to lower the ANC to a point where some outside noise would leak through, meaning I'd have to increase the volume to compensate… not so ideal for relaxed listening. For a sub-$200 headphone, the ANC capability itself is decent, but the discomfort was a major drawback for me.All in all, I initially felt these was a pretty good deal, I then found a pair of M4s for the exact same price I paid for these. Given that the Momentum 4s are Sennheiser's flagship model, generally advertised with even better sound, superior comfort (which I hope will address my earcup fit issues), and potentially a more refined ANC experience, it became a no-brainer.So, I'm returning the ACCENTUM Plus. While they sound great for the price bracket, the issues with the ear detection due to fit, and the physical discomfort from the ANC, made them not right for me, especially when the flagship model became available for the same investment. They have a lot of potential, but a few key aspects didn't align with my needs.
