Interested in the Sennheiser Accentum Plus Wireless, but would like some help.
I have never spent a lot of money on headphones, but for the first time I would like to try to spend a little more, and not only because of the brand, but also because of the features which are not entirely clear to me.
-
Are they (the Sennheiser Accentum Plus Wireless) compatible with PS5 consoles? As far as I understand, as a general rule the only wireless headphones (via bluetooth) that work with Sony consoles are Sony's own headphones, but I would like to know if I'm wrong.

How does the multipoint technology work? I would love to be able to listen to music playing from my phone and at the same time listen to the sounds of the game I'm playing on my Steam Deck, but I don't know if it works like that.

How good is the noise cancellation? I am interested in buying them to be able to study in a noisy environment and I don't expect it to cancel 100% of the noise but at least most of the noise.

Bluetooth is Bluetooth, you can connect any Bluetooth audio to the PlayStation. But... You might not be able to use voice or other enhancements. Sony will tell you you can only use Sony headphones with the PS5 but there is no technical reason for that.
I think multipoint audio means you can seamlessly switch, not necessarily use it with multiple sources simultaneously. More info from Soundguys saying the same You could just play music on the Steam Deck though.
ANC takes sound from the environment with microphones and plays cancelling waves. In combination with closed back cans you should not hear anything from your surroundings. That said, it's not perfect tech. Make sure to read a couple reviews (you can use the Soundguys website) to see what pro's think.
You can't connect any Bluetooth audio to the PlayStation (Source: Sony). You "can" use a USB Bluetooth dongle and pair to that, but the experience isn't great with audio latency.
I wonder why people still stick to console usage when it's always this kind of thing that manufacturers say. I use a DualSense with my PC and it is perfectly capable of streaming audio over Bluetooth while using the controller with little to no impact on latency. I wonder if they just use subpar Bluetooth chips or if they limit these things in the software just to make people buy their overpriced headsets.
