Summary

  • Sennheiser priced its new Accentum Clip open-ear earbuds at £149 in the UK, with preorders open now and sales starting July 23.
  • The clip-on design targets runners, office users and other active listeners by staying secure while keeping ambient sound audible, extending Sennheiser’s push into the fast-growing open-ear category.
  • Key specs include 12mm drivers, Bluetooth 6.0 multipoint, LDAC support, IP54 splash resistance and 9 hours of battery life, rising to 36 hours with the charging case.
  • The launch puts Sennheiser directly against Bose, Shokz and Huawei in a segment that has expanded quickly this year, after Sennheiser introduced the Accentum Open in 2025.
