Sennheiser’s Accentum series aims to offer flagship-quality features at a more affordable price. So far, the company has debuted two sets of his headphones named Accentum Wireless and Accentum Plus Wireless, and now it has added his truly wireless earbuds to this group. The Accentum True Wireless has a different form factor than the more expensive Momentum 4 True Wireless, but it incorporates some useful features, including hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC).
The company says Accentum True Wireless’ ergonomic shape was developed in collaboration with hearing aid manufacturer Sonova (parent company of Sennheiser). Analyzing “thousands of ear models,” the duo created earphones that offer “the ideal balance of stability, comfort, and refinement.” The Accentum True Wireless’ curves comfortably fit more ear shapes, and four sizes of ear tips help you find the perfect seal for both acoustics and ANC performance.
According to Sennheiser, the internal 7mm transducer provides “powerful and engaging bass, natural mids, and crisp treble.” The company says the beamforming microphone in the ANC setting can reduce distracting low frequencies, even the noise of airplane cabins, to a point where they’re barely noticeable. There’s also a transparent mode if you need to be aware of your surroundings. The Sennheiser Smart Control app offers EQ customization and Sound Check, the ability to build your own audio presets based on your preferences. The app also allows you to reconfigure the earbuds’ touch controls if needed.
Accentum True Wireless lasts up to 8 hours on a single charge and an additional 20 hours with the wireless charging case. If you add the set via USB-C cable, 10 minutes of plug-in will give you 1 hour of use. These earbuds also support Bluetooth 5.3 and deliver LE Audio and Auracast broadcast sound from shared sessions hosted in public spaces or privately.
Accentum True Wireless is available for pre-order now for $200 and is expected to arrive on May 21st. The new model currently comes in black and white color options, but the company’s website says a navy version is in the works.
