Sennheiser Accentum Wireless

When Sennheiser announced the release of a pair of mid-range wireless over-ears that would hit the gap in the market between the likes of the super-affordable Sony WH-CH520 and more premium models such as the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones or Sony WH-1000XM5, we were intrigued.

That said, so-called ‘mid-range’ products can often go one of two ways. They can either nail that sweet spot of affordability and performance, providing great value in the process, or else can end up compromised and a little stitched together in their attempts to emulate more high-end performers while keeping costs to a minimum.

Without completely giving the game away, the Sennheiser Accentum Wireless are disappointingly more of the latter than they are the former,Sony models currently threatening to make the world of wireless headphones into something of a one-team league.
