What reviewers think
Bloggers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below. Links to full reviews follow.
What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

MG20 Wireless Gaming Headphones
- Positioning: Budget-friendly wireless headphones designed specifically for gaming.
- Description: Delivers clear sound and low latency that suits fast-paced gameplay, with a focus on comfort during long sessions. Compared to the MH40 and MW75 series, it offers fewer advanced noise cancellation and processing techniques, making it ideal for users on a tighter budget and who play in small spaces.
ME05
- Positioning: Entry-level model aimed at portability and everyday use.
- Description: Features a compact design with reliable wireless connectivity and straightforward controls that support casual listening. While it lacks the specialized tuning of the gaming MG20 and the active noise cancellation of the MW75 products, it may suit users with moderate budgets and daily portability needs.
MH40 Wireless Over Ear Headphones V2
- Positioning: Mid-range wireless headphones focused on everyday over-ear listening comfort.
- Description: Delivers balanced sound with improved battery life and a comfortable fit that enhances everyday use. Compared to the MG20 and entry-level ME05, it steps up on audio quality without adopting the premium noise cancellation and processing features found in the MW75 models.
MW75 Active Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones
- Positioning: High-end headphones featuring advanced active noise cancellation for immersive listening.
- Description: Combines effective noise cancelling with high-fidelity sound quality, offering a refined listening experience in various settings. While it provides a clear upgrade in noise reduction over the MH40 and MG20, it is outclassed in specialized processing by the Neuro variant.
MW75 Neuro
- Positioning: Premium flagship enhanced with innovative sensor technology for adaptive sound processing.
- Description: Uses smart sensor features with active noise cancellation to adapt audio performance on the fly, offering a tailored experience in larger or noisier environments. Relative to the standard MW75, MH40, and MG20, it delivers more nuanced audio performance and additional functionality.

Product Strengths
- Premium build quality with materials like lambskin leather, aluminum, and tempered glass, gives it a solid and luxurious feel
- Comfortable for extended wear, due to soft memory foam padding on earcups and headband, and a balanced headband
- Balanced sound signature with warm bass, clean mids, and well-defined treble, making it suitable for various music genres
- Effective active noise cancellation (ANC) significantly reduces low-frequency sounds
- Comprehensive package includes various adapters for different connections, and a hard-shell carrying case for protection
Product Considerations
- The earcup size might be too small for some users, potentially affecting comfort and seal
- Some reviewers found the clamping force to be loose, which could be an issue for active use
- Audible hiss can be noticeable when ANC is activated
- The app lacks a customizable graphic EQ
- Ambient mode is subtle and might not let in as much surrounding sound as competing models
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- Compared to the Sony WH-1000XM5, the Master & Dynamic MW75 delivers above-average ANC performance, but it is not class-leading
- Compared to the Bose QuietComfort 45, the Master & Dynamic MW75 has an audible ANC hiss
Takeaway: The Master & Dynamic MW75 are stylish and comfortable headphones that deliver excellent audio quality and decent noise cancellation. They are a great choice for those looking for a premium listening experience and appreciate high-quality materials.

Expand Details
Our Summary
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- ANC does not compete with Sony or Bose, even in the same price category, let alone their higher-end stuff.
- The Sennheiser HD 450BT and the Urbanista Los Angeles offer better ANC or a unique solar charging design, respectively, for a small price increase.
- More comfortable than the Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 and Apple AirPods Max thanks to plush padding.
- The Edifier WH950NB hybrid ANC is well implemented, making it a legitimate reason to consider, even outside of the big price savings, as the Stax SPIRIT S3 does not feature any noise cancellation.
Takeaway: The Edifier WH950NB is a comfortable and feature-rich headphone that offers good noise cancellation and balanced sound, making it a solid choice for commuters or anyone seeking an immersive listening experience. With its long battery life and customizable app, these headphones are a great value for the price.

Accentum Plus Wireless
249
/
Released
2024
ACCENTUM Plus keeps you energized for days with unrivaled 50-hour battery life, 10min fast charge for 5hrs playtime, and outstanding audio that dynamically adjusts to your environment thanks to Adaptive ANC.
Sennheiser pioneered the world's first open-back headphones with the HD 414 in 1968, which became the bestselling full-size headphone of all time, and later developed the HD 25, evolving from 1980s broadcast use to become the industry standard in DJ booths worldwide. The brand is known for unique engineering approaches, such as integrating high-voltage amplifiers directly into earcups with Carrara marble chassis in the HE 1, developing proprietary ring-radiator transducers and absorber technology to eliminate resonances, and creating the long-running MD 421 microphone that has remained in production since 1960.
Expand Details
Our Summary
Product Strengths
- Touch controls work well and feel more modern than buttons.
- Adaptive ANC filters out more noise than the regular Accentum.
- Comes with a hardshell carrying case and a 2.5 to 3.5mm cable.
- Wear detection sensor auto pauses and plays music when taking the headphones off.
- Battery life is roughly 50 hours with one single charge, and charging speeds allow for 5 hours of listening for every 10 minutes of charging.
Product Considerations
- Build quality is still cheap with a plastic shell that may be flimsy and prone to breaking over a longer period of time.
- The volume is not that high, and may need to be kicked up to 70% volume to enjoy music.
- Sound customization reacts 'weirdly' to the personalization slider inside the smart control app, where changing one parameter affects others negatively.
- It is not possible to turn off both noise cancellation and transparency modes.
- Although ANC is improved, it is not industry-leading.
Comparisons (according to reviewers)
- Vs. Accentum: The Plus model has better noise cancelling, transparency, sound quality—more revealing, especially in the mid-range—comfort, and includes a hard carrying case and a 3.5mm connector.
- Vs. Momentum 4: The Plus model is much cheaper, with comparable performance, but the Momentum 4 has better build quality, bigger drivers, and supports high-res audio.
- Vs. Momentum 4: Momentum 4's microphone quality is louder and more intelligible in noisy conditions, and cancels low frequency rumble better.
- Vs. Sennheiser ACCENTUM Wireless: The Plus represents an incremental improvement with a longer battery life, aptX Adaptive Bluetooth codec, analog connectivity, a touchpad, and a case.
Takeaway: The Accentum Plus Wireless offers great features and improvements over the base model, such as better noise cancelling and a more comfortable fit, making it a worthwhile upgrade without paying premium prices. It provides good sound quality and useful features for everyday use.
