Sennheiser is upgrading its mid-range Accentum wireless headphones with a Plus model that introduces a couple of new features while still achieving affordability.
The cups on the Accentum Plus now have touch controls. According to the announcement, tapping and swiping on the surface lets you adjust the volume, control the media you’re listening to, or trigger transparency mode. That last one allows outside noise to leak through so you can better hear the world around you. Or if you prefer a more traditional method, the company’s Smart Control app lets you make the same adjustments. On Smart Control, Accentum Plus owners have access to a “5 Band equalizer” and Sound Personalization mode giving people the ability to create personalized audio profiles.
