The Sennheiser Accentum Plus offers superior sound quality, active noise cancelling, a built-in microphone with high quality, and is great for a variety of uses including music, calls, gaming, and TV. They're a premium option with more features like an app equalizer, detachable cable, and virtual surround, suited for critical listening and long-term usage. The Shokz OpenMove, on the other hand, provides unique bone conduction technology, which is safer for outdoor activities as you remain aware of your surroundings but has lower sound quality. It's more affordable and made for active users due to its lightweight, sweatproof, and dustproof features. Choose Sennheiser for a better overall experience and if budget is not a constraint; choose Shokz if your priority is outdoor use and affordability. Give Feedback

Lily Katz | May 2023
"The Shokz OpenMove are a bit more affordable than the company's other bone conduction headphones, making them a more appealing option for athletes on a budget. These headphones support premium features like multipoint connectivity and a durable build, but you lose other niceties like fast charging and a long battery life. Still, for less than $80, these are nice bone conduction headphones that will keep you safe when exercising."
