Sennheiser Accentum Open
The Sennheiser Accentum Open are open-ear wireless earbuds that deliver solid audio quality for music and voice, but their overall package is undermined by a precarious fit, cheap-feeling construction, and a minimal feature set. While they offer multipoint connectivity and a reasonable total battery life, issues like poor call clarity and a lack of app support make them feel dated against current competition.
- Pro:Good sound quality for music and voice
- Pro:Supports Bluetooth multipoint for seamless device switching
- Pro:Decent total battery life including the charging case
- Con:Tricky fit that may not stay secure for all ears
- Con:Flimsy build quality that feels cheap
- Con:Poor call clarity and video performance
