Summary

  • Audio equipment manufacturer Sennheiser has introduced its first open earbud design, the Accentum Open, as part of its mission to create “competition that truly benefits the consumer”.
  • The earbuds will cost USD129.95 in the US, CAD149.95 in Canada and EUR89.90 in Europe, although they are not yet available in the UK.
  • The product’s design is similar to Apple’s AirPods, which sit at the entry-level of the company’s earbuds range.
  • Unlike Sennheiser’s other earbuds, the Accentum True Wireless, which cost USD200, the Open variant does not block the ear canal, meaning that users can still hear sounds from their surroundings.
  • The new earbuds will begin shipping in June.
