The Sennheiser Accentum White is a set of innovative wireless headphones equipped with specially developed sound transducers that are capable of generating truly exceptional soundscapes. The integrated rechargeable battery will provide listeners with up to 50 hours of wireless audio, and their Active Noise Cancelling effectively suppresses ambient noise so that users can concentrate fully on the music. However, those who prefer to be aware of their surroundings can simply press a button to activate transparency mode without having to remove the headphones. The Accentum headphones also have several audio presets and a five-band equaliser for sound optimisation. Even when worn for hours at a time, the Sennheiser Accentums' ergonomic design ensures uninterrupted comfort, making them a versatile and user-friendly pair of wireless headphones.
The Sennheiser Accentum circumaural headphones transmit frequencies from 10Hz to 22kHz at a maximum sound pressure level of 106dB SPL, and each pair is also equipped with two dedicated microphones for external sound suppression, functioning between 50Hz and 8kHz. These mics are impressively small and have an omnidirectional polar pattern in MEMS quality, combining an electro-acoustic transducer with circuity conceived specifically for this purpose. In technical terms, they convert the capacitance alternations caused by incoming sound pressure directly into digital signals. Still, the headphones themselves couldn't be easier to use: The middle button on the headphone unit itself can be used to control playback (as well as calls, when connected to a smartphone), while the neighbouring buttons control the volume. A separate circular button can be used to switch between Active Noise Cancelling and the transparency mode.
The Sennheiser Accentum White headphones were designed for everyone who wants to enjoy their music, podcasts, audio books, or movies without being bothered by cables or ambient noise, even on long journeys or on busy buses and trains. The ergonomically shaped earpieces guarantee the greatest level of comfort for hours at a time. Those who don't want to – or really shouldn't – completely block out their surroundings can simply activate the transparency mode, without even having to remove the headphones first. To optimise their sound profile, users have access to the Sennheiser app to choose from a variety of presets or adjust the integrated five-band equaliser. To enable the effortless transmission of audio signals via Bluetooth 5.2. the device supports the A2DP, AVRCP, HFP, HSP, and GATT profiles, as well as the SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD, mSBC and CVSD codecs.
In June 1945, Prof. Fritz Sennheiser founded the Wennebostel Laboratory, which initially produced measuring equipment. Commissioned by Siemens in 1945, the young company developed the MD-1 microphone, which was launched in 1946. After the development of further microphones, the company was renamed Sennheiser Electronic in 1958. Two years later, Sennheiser introduced the MD 421 dynamic microphone, which is still in production today and still held in high esteem by many sound engineers. Further groundbreaking developments, such as the HD 414 headphones and the classic MD 441 microphone, hugely enhanced the company's international reputation, eventually making Sennheiser one of the leading manufacturers of microphone and headphone systems in the world.
Accentum users can access presets and equalisers via the free Sennheiser Smart Control app for iOS and Android. The presets include a bass boost and a dedicated podcast optimiser. The equaliser allows users to individually adjust the sound to their personal preferences over five bands of bass and treble. Thanks to their built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery, the Sennheiser Accentum White will run for over 50 hours. To fully charge the headphones, they must be connected to a power supply for three hours via the USB port on the right earcup. As an alternative to this white version, the Accentums are also available in classic black.
