Sennheiser officially announces its ACCENTUM Plus headphones, enriched with fan-favorite features and bringing premium quality to this battery-efficient range.

“ACCENTUM Plus expands on the most popular features of the MOMENTUM 4, while retaining the spirit of the exceptional value of the ACCENTUM family,” explains Christian Ern, Principal Product Manager at Sennheiser. “The Plus model is perfectly positioned at the convergence of captivating sound and practical technologies.”

Total listening immersion, any time of day
in a world saturated with options for devouring content, the ACCENTUM Plus stands out for its endurance and intuitive controls that invite you to savor every moment. Featuring Sennheiser’s extensive acoustic expertise, intuitive touch controls, adaptive hybrid noise cancellation and luxurious design, these headphones take the listening experience to the next level, without having to sacrifice your wallet.

With an exceptional 50-hour battery life between recharges and sound quality that rivals a stable wired connection, it’s easy to overlook the wireless side of ACCENTUM Plus. This Bluetooth® 5.2 headset focuses on exceptional sound quality and versatile connectivity, supporting all popular codecs, including aptX™ Adaptive, for optimal sound wherever you take it.

The exclusive 37 mm dynamic transducer incorporates Sennheiser’s sound customization mode, adapting over 75 years of audio expertise to personal preferences, without compromising on the powerful bass and striking detail for which the brand is renowned. Powerful adaptive noise cancellation will delight users on the move, constantly adjusting its sound target to suit variations in the surrounding sound environment. Incessant distractions fade away, leaving the subtleties of the content to shine through naturally.

“Express recharge”, just in case the user is in a hurry
the ACCENTUM Plus not only boasts globe-trotting endurance, it also boasts an “express recharge” function that adds a further 5 hours of listening time in just 10 minutes. The supplied USB-C cable allows the user to stream music from a class-compliant audio device, such as a laptop, while recharging. This transforms the headset into an audio interface for content consumption and even voice communication. Exceptional battery life significantly extends the time between charges, reducing the number of maximum charge cycles over the life of the headset, confirming Sennheiser’s commitment to sustainability.

A touch of control
the
ACCENTUM Plus offers intuitive control in two main ways, thanks to a clever touch panel and a gesture-responsive companion app: familiar taps and swipes manage listening levels, wireless multimedia controls and transparency mode, leaving your hands free on your device or the option of storing it away completely. The touch-sensitive headset, also featured in the flagship MOMENTUM series, offers immediate control of functions without having to search for buttons or navigate menus. For seasoned users, automatic wind noise reduction and surround sound adjustment keep calls natural and distraction-free. Multipoint connectivity seamlessly switches between the active wireless connections of two Bluetooth devices, without the need for re-pairing.

The Smart Control application elevates the headset experience by managing Bluetooth connections with ease, exploring the 5-band graphic equalizer and adjusting a host of audio-focused features. All this is presented through a streamlined visual user interface that fits perfectly in the pocket. Smart Control also lets users save personalized presets, ideal for changing smartphone platforms or listening habits.
