![]() Sennheiser Accentum Wireless: comfort and fit Simon Cohen / Digital Trends In the fully recyclable box, you’ll find the headphones, a 4-foot USB-A to USB-C cable that can be used for charging and audio (more on that later), and printed instructions. It’s not that Sennheiser wants you to buy your own analog cable - the Accentum can’t be used with analog sources at all. There’s no zippered carry case - not even a protective bag - and no analog cable. In its efforts to keep costs down, Sennheiser also has sacrificed other features we’ve come to expect around the $200 mark. Other noise-canceling headphones in this price range, like the Edifier WH950NB and the Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2, have a more upscale feel. The headband sliders move with almost no resistance - and no notching - and the pivots feel almost loose. The Accentum are made from lighter, cheaper-feeling plastics. After all, these headphones are in totally different classes. But their physical similarity invites additional comparisons, most of which shouldn’t be made. It makes sense that Sennheiser would want to endow the Accentum with the Momentum 4’s halo. The Sennheiser HD 450BT (which the Accentum replaces) looked nothing like the Momentum 4 Wireless or its predecessor, the Momentum 3 Wireless. This is a departure from Sennheiser’s previous approach. These two wireless cans share a lot of DNA, including the sleek headband shape, the slender sliders, the distinctive angled pivot, and the minimalist earcups. There’s no escaping the similarity between the Accentum and the Momentum 4 when it comes to design.
