FULL STORY
======================================================================Sennheis
er Accentum Open have an open-ear design 28 hours of battery life in total 
89.90 (about 100 / 78 / AU$161) 

Sennheiser has announced a new set of earbuds in its Accentum range of great 
mid-range headphones: the Sennheiser Accentum Open. 

As the name suggests they have an open-style design so you're not putting a 
tip into your ear and cutting yourself off from the world around you  and 
they come with good battery life and an impressively low price tag. 

This particular design are just like AirPods 4 , in that they sit right 
outside the ear canal (and have stems, like AirPods)  they're not like the 
earclip or around-ear sports designs you get from some of the best open 
earbuds . 

They look like they'll undercut the AirPods on price, though, with a costing 
around $100 / 78 / AU$161 based on their European launch price. (Image

Sennheiser says that the Accentum Open have been calibrated to offer "a rich 
and detailed sound", and they have been designed to deliver environmental 
awareness without compromising the quality of that sound. 

Battery life is a promised 28 hours including the charging case, and those 28 
hours should be comfortable: the Accentum Open are lightweight with a slim 
stem so they shouldn't feel too weighty in your ears. 

The earbuds have multipoint Bluetooth, and there are touch controls built in 
for easy audio navigation and adjustment. 

In our Sennheiser Accentum True Wireless review , we found that the sound 
lacked a little energy, but that they were good overall. Perhaps the 11mm 
drivers and different acoustic design here will deliver something closer to 
the awesome value of the Sennheiser Accentum Plus headphones . 

The Accentum Open have only been announced in Europe so far, with a price tag 
of 89.90. As I mentioned above, that's roughly $100 / 78 / AU$161  we'll 
update this story with official pricing elsewhere once Sennheiser reveals it.
