Sennheiser's Accentum Wireless are the best-sounding noise-canceling headphones we've ever heard under $200.

For a set of ANC headphones that cost roughly half of what the top-end competitors do, there's a lot to like about the Sennheiser ACCENTUM Wireless headphones. However, the ANC is a little on the weak side, and the microphone doesn't reject noise all too well. Still, this is one of the best value buys on the market at the moment.

Sennheiser's Accentum Wireless headphones are a strong value at under $200, with quality noise cancellation and robust sound.

The Sennheiser Accentum is almost exactly what I expected it to be. While it might not reach the height of the Momentum 4 sound-wise, it holds its own in its price range. It has a fun bass with surprisingly expressive highs, but the midrange just leaves too much dullness in the middle. There are plenty of features, good ANC, and the battery life is incredible for $179. It’s perfect for those who can’t quite afford the Momentum 4 and are okay with it not being totally the same sound.

The Sennheiser ACCENTUM are decent for commute and travel. They have a decently comfortable fit and have a long-lasting continuous battery life that will endure through many hours on the go. They also have an ANC system, but it struggles to reduce the low rumble of bus and plane engines. Unfortunately, the headphones also lack a carrying case to keep them safe.

The Sennheiser Accentum Wireless are solid, well-balanced performers, but they lack the spark and dynamism to really bring out the soul of your favourite tracks
