Our take on the brand
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.

With its long battery life and customizable app, these headphones are a great value for the price.

Our take on the brand
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.

- 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.
