ACCENTUM Plus Wireless Bluetooth Headphones Noise Cancelling - Quick-Charge Feature, Up to 50HR Playtime, Adaptive Hybrid ANC, Over Ear Headphones for Traveling, School, White

This is the first pair of wireless Bluetooth, noise cancelling headphones I have ever owned. I am writing this review whilst winter Storm Eowyn rages outside. Before testing audio through these headphones, I went outside test the Adaptive Noise Cancellation (ANC) against the roar of 70+ mph gale force winds. With ANC activated, I can barely hear the wind - the ANC is truly impressive. When I listened to an audio book, the sound was clear and there was virtually no background noise; absolutely amazing! I share an office; these headphones help to filter out the sound of typing on keyboards and reduce the noise of chatter from colleagues, allowing me to focus on my tasks. The headphones have a downloadable app which gives you device updates and additional features. I found the app easy to use after familiarising myself with it. The app allows you to customise the sound and ANC capabilities. The sound quality of these headphones is good, especially with the equalizer, pre-sets and options to customise the sound. I am quite fussy when it comes to sound, if I'm being super-picky, the sound is a bit more compressed than I would normally like, perhaps I need to play with the customisation controls some more ... however, for a mid-range pair of headphones I have found the sound to be excellent for everyday listening and audio books. The right headphone is touch sensitive; through gestures it and allows you to adjust the volume, pause music, skip tracks, fast forward, answer calls, end calls, add a second call, reject a calls and toggle the ANC/Transparency mode. In addition to this there is a button which is used for pairing the headphone, activating a voice assistant (eg. Siri), and switching them on/off. I love that it is possible to turn off the touch control, which is ideal if listening to music whilst wearing a hood or just before sleep. The headphones have on-head detection feature, which puts the headphones into power saving mode to preserve the impressive 50 hour battery life. With the 'Smart Pause' activated, they will hold calls and halt playback when lifted off the head. Playback is resumed when they are put back on your head. In addition to this there's an Auto Answer calls feature, which will automatically answer an incoming call. The build quality is good for mid-range headphones; they are are hard plastic, adjustable and adequately padded. The fit for me is very comfortable for me - I have worn them for an entire day whilst wearing glasses, with absolutely no problems - can barely notice they are there. It's been a while since I've been impressed with audio technology. I am 100% happy with these wireless headphones, the sound is great; the features have opened up a whole new world of functionality and listening for me. If you are thinking of buying a pair of noise cancelling wireless headphones, I would have no hesitation in recommending these.

Comfortable and very good quality Use these on long distance train journey, great experience

Great sound quality and insane noise cancellation - the anti wind thing is amazing too. Good fit with a nice clamp and enough extension to fit your head shape. Crazy long battery life too. Made out of good quality material so im not concerned about them breaking or scratching. Cushioning is really nice too. I wouldn’t usually spend this much on headphones but I had a ton of vouchers saved up. My only gripe is that sometimes the touch control doesn’t respond and it’ll just turn itself onto noise cancelling mode but if you just turn it on and off again or reset it in the app it seems to sort itself out

Excellent sound and quality highly recomened.

These Sennheiser Accentum Plus Headphones are great. I've like Sennheiser Headphones so I thought i would upgrade to a higher spec. I have not been disappointed, I am glad I bought these. Easy to set up to. Definitely worth buying.

While not super expensive, this item cost more than a lot of alternatives. The headset was incredibly tight and gave me a headache within minutes (no exaggeration). I stretched it over a stack of books which improved things a little. The ear cups were quite small and not very deep. The main reason for the return though was the microphone. Being integral with no boom, I didn't expect a great deal from it, but people could hardly hear me when I used it and the quality was terrible.

I’ve used these regularly for about a year now and really can’t fault them. The sound quality is excellent and they are very comfortable to wear on your ears for long periods. They don’t crush your ears like some headphones do. They feel very premium and the bluetooth range is awesome (reaches across the whole house, through multiple rooms). Im still impressed by how little the battery has to be charged , they can go for days of use without being plugged in. Worth it.

These headphones look great but had several issues on arrival which I did not expect, I am not sure if these were representative of this type of Sennhieser, I have 2 pairs of Momentum cans I bought 15 years back that are still very use-able but have no noise cancellation. Firstly the package was smart, like everything these days overdone to death but fine. Putting on the headphones for the first time I found them very tight and uncomfortable but I assumed they would wear in. Setting up with the mobile app was pretty easy and pairing to my phone and amplifier was smooth, (the app is optional). The controls are very fiddly, the on / off / pair button is brilliantly placed so when you hold it the LED indicator is hidden behind your hand and useless, the touch pads are clunky and frustratingly hit or miss. The app itself does a firmware update but apart, from that most of the settings are overblown, the EQ for instance, yes its there and it works with the subtlety of a sledge hammer. Finally the Noise Cancellation (ANC) is dreadful, when it is ON there is a low rumble in the background and every tiny movement of the head gives a grating buzz in the left earphone. In a noisy environment the buzz is constant and wearing so impossible to use, turning ANC off gives "transparent" mode which amplifies the outside world and mutes the headphones, thereby defeating the very purpose of the things. I could not find a way to turn the ANC off and keep transparency off as well but even if I did, I was by now very disappointed with the build quality and sound quality. I suspect these are faulty with the buzzing, terrible ANC and useless EQ so I have returned for a refund. I will go back to Bose QC2s, they have issues too but noise cancellation, comfort and sound quality is not a problem or maybe Apple Airpads, I not risking another pair of these.

Literally. My first question was "how..?" There are a lot of reviews that lie to you, but I'm going to give you my so-far. The Sennheiser Accentum Plus' are extremely comfortable. It has an adjustable headband so it fits any head ever no matter how wide, tall, big, small. The sound quality is advanced for its budget, extremely nice, and customizable with the app. Double points if you have a device that handles lossless music or any type of high quality sound. The controls are nice: I haven't had any problems with them, if you are to adjust positioning, just place your palms around the cups, but even if you do touch them, it doesn't mess anything up (any misstouches don't trigger the controls), so that is extremely nice. Additionally, controls are reactive by touch, feels premium even though being only on the right side, so keep that in mind. Noise cancellation is so advanced, I have not had a problem with them and it honestly scares me by how good they are because I cannot hear ANYTHING around with them on and music playing. Even without music in certain environments, it's quite impressive. The mic quality isn't bad, just note that there are some headphones out there, even the trashest ones that can perform better somehow, but it's not bad for calls especially in windy environments. All around, this is an A-tier headset if you're looking to start your headphone journey without spending $500+ for even the best setup.

Grym brusreducering!

Good purchase

Great ANC headphones. Not totally blocks sound but that is preferable for me. Good value for what I paid

I spent a long time choosing between the Sennheiser ACCENTUM Plus and the soundcore Space One Pro. During the in-store demo, the Sennheisers seemed noticeably quieter than the soundcore, but I decided to take the risk anyway. In real use, the volume turned out to be more than sufficient. The bass isn’t very strong, but the mids and highs are well balanced, and overall I’m very satisfied with the sound. The ANC is excellent. During calls from outdoors, people can hear me clearly without any issues. I have a large head, and the headphones don’t press or cause fatigue, even during long listening sessions. The touch controls on the earcup can be a bit finicky, but I think that’s just a matter of getting used to them. The build quality isn’t perfect, but the materials feel nice.
