Sennheiser - ACCENTUM True Wireless

I have been on a mission lately trying to find an ideal complement of earbuds. I had two pairs of AirPods, one got lost and the other died a painful battery death which led me to wanting cheaper buds that I wouldn’t care as about hassle and cost to replace. I tried a pretty large list: soundcore space a40, p40, p30, JLab anc 3, jbl vibe, Jane’s elite 4, even some really cheap ones like Haylou and edified x1 lite, but just couldn’t land the right bud. Mind you, I had a few requirements that were harder to meet like solid transparency mode, good mic quality, extreme comfort etc. but I was also good with running a couple pairs at a time depending on style and need. I finally decided there might be something to be said about the higher price earbuds. It’s off course of my original objective but I almost felt like it was an impossible mission and really just wanted something that hit my ever changing requirements. Yesterday, I bought the sennheisser accentum tws. While I’m still testing, there is a noticeable difference in comfort (subjective) and sound quality (subjective but I’m sure it can be substantiated through objective testing). Features too. I’m quite enjoying them, but also it eats me that I had to jump a price tier and basically pay as much as the AirPods were. So I guess that while I think there’s value out there, and likely mark up for brand and assumptions of quality for high end stuff, I feel like “you get what you pay for” does still apply for the most part. Just my two cents.

accentums have a volume bug with ios where it’s either super quiet or super loud

I got the Sennheiser Accentum ones, as well, but find them horribly uncomfortable in my ears and they constantly fall out (not good, since I mostly wear them when I'm in the tub lol). Not sure if I'm just doing it wrong, but no matter how I adjust them, I hate them. I guess earbuds are very much a YMMV type of item! To be fair, though, they do *sound* great!

A bit expensive $340, but I'd recommend Sennheiser Accentum. Insane sound quality

I'm using an older pair of Sennheiser true wireless buds

I disagree with this, hard workouts your ears get sweaty and IEMs break their seal or even fall out. Sennheiser Accentum are nice and lightweight, great sound quality, loud enough for the gym.

I recently purchased a pair of Accentum Ture Wireless Earbuds. They compliment the Momentum 4 I already own as my in-open-office usage. I am sooooooo impressed with them. Light, rich sounding, reasonable ANC. Great work Sennheiser :)

Fair enough. I bought these on sale.... good dynamic range.

I think they fit fine, you sort of twist them in to secure in place. I've been using Sennheiser TW earbuds for years though, which also are pretty thick earbuds, so I guess you could say I'm used to the shape.

too late for me, bought accentum true last week and already regretting now.

I got Sennheiser Accentums a few months back and I like them because I usually think earbuds are uncomfy but they are open ear so they don't feel as weird to me. I'm not an audiophile but they seem pretty good to me. Also got the Pixel Buds 2a the other day to upgrade my wife's original Pixel Buds, she loves them.
