Sennheiser, known for its audio products, has announced a new line of wireless headphones in the market called Accentum. The company says that the new Sennheiser Accentum wireless headphones share much of its DNA with the flagship Momentum 4.

In terms of design, the new headphones look similar to the Momentum 4, but because they are cheaper, the company has taken some cost-cutting measures. The headband is made of hard plastic, and the touch gestures for controlling music playback and calls are replaced by a four-button layout at the bottom of the left cup.

The Accentum comes packed with 37mm dynamic transducers, which the company claims can deliver outstanding bass performance and offer striking clarity. There’s also Hybrid ANC that uses microphones on both inside and outside of the headphones to cancel out sound. It also has a wind-reduction mode to keep calls clear in a windy environment.

It comes with support for Bluetooth 5.2, supporting multipoint connection. This means that the headphones can be switched from one connected device to another without having to re-pair, making it easy to swap between devices. There’s also support for aptX HD codec for better sound quality and stability, along with support for SBC and AAC codecs.

Sennheiser says that the Accentum wireless headphones can offer up to 50 hours of battery life on a single charge, and there’s support for quick charging, which offers five hours of battery life with just 10 minutes of charging. It comes with a USB-C cable for charging the headphones, which can also be used to connect with any USB-C-supported device.

Coming to the pricing, the Sennheiser Accentum wireless headphones are priced at $179.99 (Amazon) and will be available from select retailers and the company’s own website. The company will start taking pre-orders from 26th September for the headphones, which come in two color options — Black and White. The black colored model will go on sale from 4th October, but the White version will start shipping in November.
