What Buyers Say
Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus
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
Logitech Zone 981-000876
The Logitech headset is praised for its excellent noise-canceling microphone, comfort, and clear audio for calls, making it ideal for home offices and open-plan settings. However, some users report durability issues like a scratchy sound after a few months, and the on-ear design can feel heavy or tight during prolonged wear. The auto-mute flip-up mic and plug-and-play simplicity are popular features, though volume control quirks on Mac and occasional microphone glitches are noted.
Pros
- Excellent noise-canceling microphone
- Comfortable for short to medium wear
- Clear audio for calls
- Auto-mute when flipping mic up
- Lightweight and premium feel
Cons
- Durability issues after a few months
- Heavy or tight for prolonged wear
- Volume control issues on Mac
- Occasional microphone glitches
- Not ideal for heavy bass music
