Sennheiser's first clip-on open-ear earbuds are the ACCENTUM Clip
A 12 mm driver in a 6.8 g clip that leaves the ear canal open, with LDAC, Bluetooth 6.0 and 36 hours of total battery, at £149 / €179, from 23 July.
Sennheiser has announced the ACCENTUM Clip, its first clip-on open-ear earbud, at £149 / €179, with availability from 23 July 2026. Each 6.8 g bud carries a 12 mm dynamic driver on a silicone bridge that sits outside the ear canal, with LDAC, AAC and SBC over Bluetooth 6.0, multipoint pairing, an IP54 rating, and nine hours of playback rising to 36 with the case.
An open-fit design gives up the seal, and with it the bass reinforcement every sealed earphone depends on. That is a physical constraint, not a tuning decision, so the useful question is how much low end survives and how much is being recovered by boosting the driver instead. Both are visible in a measurement, and neither is knowable from a battery figure.
