Affordable price ; Good seal and comfort ; Improved battery life over CX 400BT

No ANC ; Competition has caught up ; Choppy connectivity in busy signal areas

“They pack some of the best sound you'll find in an affordable set of earbuds.”

Comfortable design ; Impressively small case ; Sound and noise-cancelling are both solid

A little flimsy-feeling ; Won't blow you away with its audio quality

Sennheiser's mid-range earbuds are great – they're comfortable, lightweight and well-priced, with sound quality that fits their asking price.

Balanced audio, with forward lows and detailed highs ; App includes EQ and control adjustments ; Effective noise cancellation against lows

Sennheiser's Accentum True Wireless earbuds produce adjustable, bass-rich sound and deftly cancel deep low-frequency noise for a reasonable $199.95.

Open, controlled sound ; Light and comfortable ; Good specification and control options

Rather lacking in energy and dynamic impetus ; Higher-resolution codec compatibility would be nice ; Perceived value isn’t huge

Excellent app support ; EQ optimisation ; Neat extra features

Expansive sound Improved battery life Upgraded connectivity

Uncomfortable for smaller ears Battery life could be longer Bulky case

The Sennheiser CX True Wireless seem to be a worthy upgrade compared to their predecessors; despite this, they’re even cheaper than the CX 400BT and many other true wireless earbuds on the market.

Rich, bass-forward sound with high-frequency definition ; Adjustable EQ ; Water-resistant build ; Excellent battery life

In-canal fit can alter sound signature ; EQ could offer more precise control

Sennheiser's audiophile-friendly CX True Wireless earphones offer good battery life and high-quality audio performance for a refreshingly affordable price.

Good value ; Solid sound ; Strong battery life

Slightly low-quality build ; No active noise-cancelling ; Middling comfort

If you're looking for earbuds on a medium budget, these are a great option that will last days at a time, although they might not feel like the highest-quality bit of tech you own.

Restrained, stylish design ; Reliable fit ; Long battery life ; IPX4 water resistance ; Decent sound quality

No Active Noise Cancellation ; Poor call quality ; Too bulky for small ears ; Hit-and-miss touch controls ; No “find my earbuds” feature

The CX True Wireless earbuds get you signature Sennheiser sound, but sacrifice too much in the process. They are hard to recommend over their more feature-rich competition.
