Sennheiser Sennheiser Accentum True Wireless In-Ear Review

Scoring just 21.1 overall, the Sennheiser Accentum True Wireless are a letdown. Call quality is awful at 15/100, and the noise cancellation is below average. The only bright spot is the 56th percentile battery life, but that's not enough to save them.

The Sennheiser Accentum True Wireless are a $120 pair of earbuds that try to bring the Sennheiser name down to a more accessible price point. They land with a total score of 21.1 out of 100 in our database, which puts them in the bottom half for most key metrics. You're getting a familiar feature set here: hybrid ANC, transparency mode, and a charging case that pushes total battery life to 28 hours, but the numbers suggest you're making some serious compromises to hit that price.

Performance is, frankly, middle-of-the-road across the board. The sound quality sits in the 47th percentile, which means it's essentially average. The hybrid ANC ranks even lower at the 40th percentile, so don't expect it to compete with the heavy hitters in noisy environments. The mic quality is a notable weak spot at the 43rd percentile, and our call quality score is a low 15 out of 100, so these aren't great for important meetings. On the bright side, battery life is a relative strength at the 56th percentile, so you'll get through a day without worry.

At $120, the Accentum True Wireless are in a brutally competitive segment. You're paying a bit for the Sennheiser badge on the case, because spec-for-spec, you can find stronger performers from brands like Anker and Nothing at or below this price. The value proposition hinges entirely on whether you prioritize the Sennheiser sound signature over raw performance numbers.

Stacked against key rivals, the trade-offs are clear. The Nothing Ear (a) often costs less and likely offers more modern features and design. The Anker Soundcore P3i is a frequent budget champion with better ANC performance for the money. And if you can stretch your budget, the Sony WF-1000XM5 is in a completely different league for ANC and sound, but it costs more than twice as much. The Accentum's main advantage is its brand heritage, but that doesn't show up in the percentile rankings.

Skip these if you take a lot of calls. That 15/100 call score is a dealbreaker. Also, avoid them if you need top-tier noise cancellation (40th percentile won't cut it) or if you're a mobile gamer (their 8.7 gaming score is practically a warning label). They're for a very specific listener who values the Sennheiser name above all else.

We can't give these a strong recommendation based on the data. A total score of 21.1 and call quality of 15/100 are hard to overlook. Unless you are a dedicated Sennheiser fan who must have their sound profile and won't consider other brands, there are better-performing options at this price that don't ask you to compromise so much on mics and ANC.
