The Sennheiser Accentum Plus Wireless is the German headphone giant’s latest attempt to plug a gap in the noise-cancelling over-ears market. That gap – between some outstanding products at the more premium end of the market, and a real bargain at around the £100 mark – is proving a tricky one to fill for most manufacturers.
A glance at the features offered by the Accentum Plus Wireless ought to make prospective purchasers excited; on paper, these headphones enjoy a very similar specification to those offerings a little bit further up the (canned) food chain. As ever, though, for us it is the sound that takes priority here – and it was with sound that the Sennheiser Accentum Wireless (£160 / $180 / AU$300) struggled somewhat. So, how will the step-up Plus model fare?
