Sennheiser has added a new coif ofwireless earbudsto its entry - point Accentum sub - stigma : the $ 130 Accentum Open , which will start ship in June in both black and ointment color options . Though Sennheiser is really lean into that Holy Scripture , “ opened , ” touting the earbuds ’ ability to do away with ear weariness while providing cognizance of your surroundings , the Accentum Open are essentially the same plan as Apple ’s iconic AirPods .
Which is ok — Apple ’s AirPods are very popular for exactly that rationality — but the “ open ” label may produce mix-up for vendee . These are notopen - ear earbuds , which we define as earbuds ( or earphone ) that come out a verbaliser outside the capitulum ( e.g. Shokz OpenFit 2 ) or just inside the concha ( e.g. Bose Ultra Open Earbuds ) , where it ’s slightly near to the spike canal , but still not in front of it . Instead , it ’s more accurate to intend of the Accentum Open ( and theAirPods 4 ) as semi - undefendable — they posture right away in front of the auricle canal , but they do n’t varnish it with silicone like a fully shut design would ( AirPods Pro , Sony WF-1000XM5 ) . The Accentum Open are Sennheiser ’s first semi - candid wireless earbuds . Until now , the mark has always used a closed design for its Momentum True Wireless series ( e.g. Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 ) .
Sennheiser promises the Accentum Open will provide fans with the make ’s renowned tuning via an 11 mm driver . The bud support Bluetooth 5.3 , with dual - twist connectivity thanks toMultipointcompatibility . Sennheiser has chosen to use touch controls instead of the AirPods ’ squeeze - to - click force - smell controls , and the company pegs battery animation at an expected 6.5 hours per charge , with a sum of 28 time of day when you admit the charging case . You ’ll get decent protection from rain and sweat with anIPX4rating .

Prospective buyers should note that while there are similarities to the $ 129 AirPods 4 , for representative , the Accentum Open do not support wireless charging and they do n’t have active noise cancellation ( ANC ) , there are also significant differences . The Accentum Open lack the AirPods 4spatial audiowith header trailing and their wear sensors for automatic intermission of your tune .
Unlike Sennheiser ’s other wireless earbuds , there ’s no companion app for the Accentum Open , so you wo n’t be able to customise the controls , adjust EQ , or even update the microcode .
It also looks like Sennheiser has priced the Accentum Open for the American market in reaction to the new U.S. tariffs . In Canada , the earbuds will sell for $ 150 Canadian dollars ( about $ 109 USD ) .
