- Sennheiser Accentum Open has an open ear design
- 28 hours of battery life in total
- € 89.90 (approx. £ 100 / £ 78 / AU $ 161)
Sennheiser has announced a new set of earplugs in its accentum range of large middle headphones: Sennheiser Accentum open.
As the name suggests they have an open design, you do not put a tip in your ear and cut yourself off from the world around you and they come with good battery life and an impressively low price tag.
This particular design is like AirPods 4, sitting just outside the ear canal (and having stems, like airpods) -The is not like ear flap or sports design in the ear you get from some of the best open earplugs.
They look like they want to undermine airpods on the price, though with a cost about $ 100 / £ 78 / AU $ 161 based on their European launch price.
Sennheiser Accentum Open: Key Functions and Pricing
Sennheiser says the Accentum Open has been calibrated to offer “a rich and detailed sound” and they are designed to give environmental awareness without compromising on the quality of this sound.
The life of the battery is a promised 28 hours including the charging case, and the 28 hours should be comfortable: the accentum open is light with a slim stalk so they should not feel too heavy weight in your ears.
The ears have multipoint bluetooth and there are touch controls built -in for light sound navigation and adjustment.
In our Sennheiser Accentum True Wireless Review, we found that the sound lacked some energy but that they were generally good. Maybe 11 mm drivers and different acoustic designs here will deliver something closer to the fantastic value of Sennheiser Accentum plus headphones.
The Accentum Open has only been announced in Europe so far with a price tag of € 89.90. As I mentioned above, it is approx. $ 100 / £ 78 / AU $ 161 – We update this story with official prices elsewhere when Sennheiser reveals it.
