Tuning it all out
What Hi-Fi Sound and Vision India|April 2024
Sennheiser's Accentum Wireless strides boldly into the arena, forging a path between the humble Sony CH520s and the lofty heights of premium contenders like the Bose QC 45 and Sony WH 1000XM5.
Tuning it all out

Sennheiser Accentum Wireless | ANC headphones | ₹11,990

FOR Great soundstage, 50 hour battery, comfort

AGAINST No rhythmic drive, tend to sound bland

In a market crowded with options, the Accentum stands out, offering a feature set that punches above its weight in the mid-range budget sweet spot. Is it exciting? Absolutely.

Don't expect the Accentum Wireless to steal the spotlight with their unassuming appearance. It's all about understated elegance here, and the Accentum nails it. Pit the Accentum against its similarly priced rival, the Sony CH720, and the contrast is stark.

The Accentum oozes quality from every pore, boasting a construction that feels like it could withstand a battering from Mumbai's rowdiest train commute. The headband, pads, even those dainty swivels holding the cups in place - all exude a sense of solidity that's quintessentially Sennheiser.
