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.
too late for me, bought accentum true last week and already regretting now.
I'm not really someone who can speak to as new price since I tend to be happy with buds in Open Box, Used - Like New, or Refurb'd condition. I feel like I get a lot more for my sound dollar. That said, I am able to comment on sound and fit/comfort. I find the Sony WF-1000XM5s to have excellent sound, but their fit and long-term comfort let me down. I find the WF-1000XM4s much more comfortable and their sound is very good in its own right. I've owned many other Technics earbuds, but never the AZ100s. I recall their sound as being good to very good, with very good noise cancelling. Fit and long-term comfort were very good across the board. The controls were also solid. I moved on from them because I always thought the midrange was a touch veiled and they were not the last word in dynamics. I only own the Bose QuietComfort earbuds, but I find their sound and noise cancellation excellent overall. Long-term comfort is good for me, but I feel the fit could be a touch more secure. The Ultras are less interesting to me because I don't really like earbuds in the mic boom form factor. I've only owned the Sennheiser Accentum earbuds. They aren't bad, but I found the fit a bit odd. I feel like it's possible to get better sound for similar money. The Technics EAH-AZ40s would be a huge upgrade. I should like the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro for their compact form factor, but I feel the fit and long-term comfort should be better than good or very good. Sound is good but nothing spectacular. The multipoint connectivity between my phone and laptop could also be more seamless. I feel like my Sony WF-C700Ns have flawless multipoint and at least 90% of the sound + noise-cancelling for a lot less money. I've never owned the Liberty 4, but if you're on a tight budget the Anker Soundcore Space A40s are tough to beat. Very good sound, NC, fit, and long-term comfort. If you are on a super tight budget and can live with passive isolation the Soundcore Life A1s are worth a listen. I own a ton of Jabra Elites over the years, including the 75ts, 4s in Black and Blue, 5s (currently missing), and 7s. I tend to find them cheap on eBay. I find their sound and NC good to very good. I like their tiny form factor, which makes the long-term fit and comfort excellent for me. This makes the Jabra Elites my favorite workout buds. My 75ts have held up to years of runs and workouts in all manner of conditions. Because of this, I'm bummed Jabra are leaving the earbud segment. In conclusion, I need to declutter and sell off my ridiculously large collection of earbuds!
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
Sennheiser is "good enough" brand. Their headphones were longstanding icons of the industry. I have some of their wireless models, mainly open types and they work great without the app which was a demand. They are bluetooth headphones so don't expect much great quality sound. Most people are not able to say thoug.
What would you possibly want from a tiny earbud? Anything is negligible. If you don't like Senns, you can always go Jabra. Their sports line is good since the buds use physical buttons.
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.
