- The new headphones have 11 mm dynamic controllers in a super light open design
- They offer up to 28 hours of battery and rapid plane charging
- Accentum open cost $ 130 / £ 70 (or around au $ 145)
It is official: as we report last month, Sennheiser has a new set of open headphones called Accentum Open, and are cheaper than previous reports predicted, unless you live in the United States.
The new Accentum Open is available in a selection of cream and black with a recommended retail price of £ 69.99 / € 89.90 / or approximately au $ 145. Unfortunately, the US price is somewhat more steep at $ 129.95. Oh.
If you are not familiar with open -style headphones designs, this means that you are not connecting a tip to your auditory channel and sealed from the outside world. Unlike many of the best open headphones, the accentum that opens is similar to the Airpods 4 to offer a design similar to a stem that is outside its auditory channel.
And despite the lack of ANC (cancellation of active noise), they could be an excellent alternative to the airpods 4 (which cost $ 129 / £ 129 / au $ 219), depending on where you live …
Sennheiser Open Aurbuds: key features
Sennheiser Open looks a lot like Airpods 4, with a long stem that contains tactile controls and a airpod load case. Each outbreak is only 4.4 g, approximately the same as a single game card, and the battery life is 6.5 hours per sprout and 28 hours with the cargo box. Ten minutes of USB load offer up to 1.5 hours of listening time.
Within each headset there is a 11 mm dynamic transducer that is located on the outskirts of its auditory channel, which allows you to listen to music and podcasts with comfort without blocking the outside world.
Sennheiser did not go into more details, but the list of products on Thomann’s retail site says that the frequency range is 25Hz to 15,000Hz and that the compatible codecs are SBC and AAC.
The headphones have Bluetooth 5.3 with multipunto and there are double beam formation microphones for a clear call. In general, a convincing package, particularly if they coincide with the rest of the accentum line during our tests, although the US price could make them less attractive if you live there.
