Sennheiser has announced its new open-ear earbuds, the ACCENTUM Clip, bringing its well-renowned hi-fidelity audio to the open-ear wireless category.

The ACCENTUM Clip feature a 12mm dynamic driver “tuned for clarity and punchy bass with smooth treble,” producing the audio that makes the earbuds Hi-Res Audio Wireless certified.  A dynamic EQ compensates for tonal shifts to maintain a balanced audio experience.  You can further customise the sound using the Sennheiser Smart Control Plus app.

The ACCENTUM Clip supports SBC and AAC codecs, along with LDAC for high-resolution streaming with high-bitrate audio transmission.  

“In creating ACCENTUM Clip, we wanted to elevate the standard of acoustic performance that open earbuds have traditionally struggled with,” said Friederike Menking, ACCENTUM Clip Product Manager. “Whether you are tackling productivity, out on your own adventures, or managing the transitions in between, its thoughtful design empowers you to navigate your world without sacrificing the essence of your music.” 

Each ACCENTUM Clip weighs just 6.8 grams, and its flexible silicone bridge positions the earbuds comfortably over any ear shape for optimal sound and stability.  They have an IP54 dust- and sweat-resistant rating, so you can use them from the gym to the commute home.  

The included charging case provides three full charges, extending the earbuds’ 9-hour battery life to 36 hours total.  The case supports fast charging, so a quick 10-minute charge delivers another 2 hours of playback.

Each earbud features a dual-microphone system and AI noise reduction to isolate the user’s voice from environmental noise.

ACCENTUM Clip is available in Black and Cream colourways, with an RRP of AU$349. The earbuds are available to purchase at au.sennheiser-hearing.com and Harvey Norman stores nationwide and online. 

From 1 October, ACCENTUM Clip will be available across selected authorised retailers nationwide. A new Ice Blue colourway will also join the range in October.
