What Buyers Say

Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus

72 out of 100 low confidence 8 reviews

The Sennheiser Accentum Plus Wireless headphones receive generally positive feedback for their sound quality, comfort, and long battery life, with several reviewers praising the adaptive ANC and touch controls. However, some users report issues with noise cancellation effectiveness in noisy environments like subways, occasional pairing delays, and a finicky tap feature on the right earcup. Overall, they are seen as a good value, especially for those upgrading from older models, but not without flaws.

Pros
  • Excellent sound quality
  • Comfortable for long wear
  • Long battery life (50 hours)
  • Adaptive noise cancellation
  • Touch controls and app integration
Cons
  • Noise cancelling weak in subway
  • Pairing takes 5-7 seconds
  • Tap feature on right earcup unreliable
  • Sweat resistance questionable

72 out of 100 medium confidence 13 reviews

This pair of headphones earns mixed but generally positive feedback from users. Many praise the excellent battery life, comfort, and solid noise cancellation for the price, with several noting they work well for long listening sessions or workouts. However, recurring complaints about poor audio quality, especially weak bass and muddy mids, and an unreliable play button that activates on its own bring the score down significantly. The lack of a companion app for controls is also mentioned as a drawback.

Pros
  • Excellent battery life (120 hours)
  • Very comfortable for long wear
  • Good for price with decent ANC
  • Easy Bluetooth pairing
  • Lightweight and stylish design
Cons
  • Poor audio quality (weak bass, muddy mids)
  • Faulty play button activating on its own
  • No companion app for controls
  • ANC considered poor by some
  • Does not fold, no case included
