As for performance, you’ll be relying on the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage to boot.

It sports a 6.78″ AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution. The max refresh rate you’ll get is a steady 120Hz, while peak brightness goes up to 1,200nits.

    By Timothy Teoh November 01, 2023

    Audiophiles will have yet another pair of headphones to consider after Sennheiser released its latest ACCENTUM Wireless headphones.

    The ACCENTUM Wireless will retail at RM999 in Malaysia and are available immediately at Sennheiser’s official stores on Shopee and Lazada. You have the choice of either black or white.

    Sennheiser’s latest addition is a lightweight option that won’t bog your neck muscles too much. Most importantly, its headband is padded quite thoroughly allowing it to rest comfortably atop your head when worn. It features a nice set of cushioned earcups that are airy and sit nicely around the ears.

    One of the primary features of the Sennheiser ACCENTUM Wireless is its extensive battery life of up to 50 hours. According to Sennheiser, the 50-hour playtime is achievable even with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) on.

    Charging is as speedy as it gets, getting 5 hours of playtime with just a 10-minute charge. A full charge, on the other hand, will take approximately 3 hours.

    As for sound quality, the ACCENTUM boasts 37mm drivers on each side, as well as a 5-band equalizer for fine-tuning audio to your preference. You can customize your sound profile via the Smart Control App, where you’ll have access to other functions such as Bass Boost and Podcast Mode.

    You’ll also get Hybrid ANC as well as wind noise suppression to block out external noises, or have Transparency Mode on to stay aware of your surroundings.

    The ACCENTUM Wireless supports Bluetooth 5.2, and is compatible with aptX HD codec.
