Sennheiser - ACCENTUM Plus Wireless Bluetooth Headphones, Adaptive Hybrid ANC, Smart Adaptive Features - Black

I have some expensive headphones for all sorts of brands from Sony, Bose, bowers and Wilkins, Sennheiser, and Apple. The one thing consistent in my overall use of them over time is that they never live up to their price. I feel if you are forced to spend $300-$500 on headphones they better have great battery life, sound great, feel great, and have good ANC! Unfortunately in all of my buys, this is never the case. They all miss one of more of those things and still require more than the average headphones. Well today Sennheiser Accentum Plus is the exception to the rule. It sound great, feels great, had good ANC, and great battery life. The sound even beats out 90% of all headphones I've heard in sound alone. That's before they kill 95% of them in battery life. Do yourself a favor, look at the Accentum Plus before you spend way more than you need to on others.

I got this with low expectations, I wanted yo get the M4's but due to budget issues I tried buying an Open-Box Excellent Accentum plus. Default EQ was kinda flat, volume is low. But after installing the app and setting up sound personalization I was simply amazed on how good they were. For $90 after taxes I would say this is as good as it gets for that price!

One of the best headphones I’ve bought, they sound great but the price could come down but they’re built pretty good. The customization for eq is good and speaking through the mic for answering phone calls is good, noise cancellation works really good can’t hear anything including my wife voice lmao buy them if want that and being at peace by not being nagged ; D Besides all that great product, remember everyone has a different hearing of frequencies and tones Buy them try them if not for you return them

This headphones Not bad and comfortable. Very light .

About the Accentum Plus Headphones The Accentum Plus headphones by Sennheiser are a feature rich headphone in the under $250 price range. They boast an up to 50 hour battery life, have Active Noise Cancellation, and touch controls. A downloadable app allows for additional controls and features. What They Come With Inside the box you will find the headphones, a carrying case, a USB-C to USB-A charging cord, mini plug cable, and instructions. Set-up The set-up was really easy. Headphones were already partly charged, but it’s recommended to charge for at least 10 minutes prior to setting up. Pair the headset with your phone. These use Bluetooth connectivity, and paired really easily for me. There’s a Sennheiser Smart Control app to download for more control of the headphones. Upon establishing an app connection a firmware notification was listed. I always recommend starting with the latest firmware. Quality Disclaimer – I tend to buy headphones that retail for twice as much as these do, so I am used to higher-end products. My opinions here may be pickier than most folks. The headphones had a cheaper build/feel to me. These are mostly plastic instead of metal. It made for a lighter feeling over the ear experience (which isn’t necessarily bad). They are smaller than some of the other premium brands which may actually be better for a younger/smaller individual. There’s a carry case with these headphones. It has a cheaper feel to me as well. The case is soft, so there’s not as much protection as I’d like. Storage for the USB cord is a fold and jam under a loop type. I think that could have been done better. Having this case is better than not including a case. Comfort I found these to be pretty comfortable. Lightweight design is easier on the neck. The headband has a soft top and stiff sides. The ear pads were good, but not the most comfortable I have used. Overall it had a good feel. Charging As I mentioned, you need to charge these before setting up. When fully charged, the manufacturer states that you should get up to 50 hours of use. I have not put 50 hours in with these yet, but I am still on my first charge. 10 minutes of charge should get around 5 hours of use. To get the maximum, it may take around 3.5 hours of charging. Audio Quality The sound quality was surprisingly good. Great bass and capable of playing some very low frequencies. One thing in particular that I noticed was that turning up the volume turned all the frequencies up equally. Usually, even in some of the more expensive headsets, you get to a certain volume and the higher frequencies get louder, but the bass doesn’t. These headphones did not do that. If you wanted more, you got more of everything. The presets weren’t that great, and the bass boost was pretty bad. If you turned any of those on, they seem to diminish the upper sounds to make the bass heavier. It was an overall loss of sound trying to use these features. You can make your own preset to work around this. These headphones have an Adaptive Noise Cancellation (ANC) feature which can help you hear only the sounds from your headset. The Accentum Plus headset uses a slide bar to adjust how much of the Transparency sounds (outside noises) you want to hear. You can tune out coworkers or allow the ambient sounds of traffic for safety. Your choice. These headphones had the best ANC of any headphone I own, and it was easy to control. The app has something called Sound Zones, where you could preset the ANC or Transparency a certain way for specific locations. Examples of sound zones could be home, work, gym, walking, etc. Whatever you want to create. Controls The controls for the Accentum Plus were almost exactly like my higher-end Sony headphones. Slide your finger up or down the right ear piece to change volume. Slide it forward or back to change the track. Touching the center pauses or interacts with calls. Overall These headphones seem to be good at their price point. They have a great bass production and an awesome noise cancelling feature. Battery life seems good, and I do like the lightweight feel while wearing them. The build quality could be better and so could the carry case. Presets and bass boost features weren’t very good. I give these 4 out of 5 stars for a headphone in the under $250 range.
