Hey guys, I'm here with a kind review to  @sennheiser on the Accentum vs 458BT models, along with a summary down the bottom!

Which has better comfort and ANC for calls when wearing them?
Undoubtedly the Accentum model. They provide more of that air-clasp feel rather than something that is forced on your head. They have better call quality. Not the best for music even with the EQ adjustments. They are best suited for commutes with winds hence they allow too much passive noise despite the ANC even if you want to consciously and intentionally drown out all the noise.

Which has better comfort and ANC when playing music or during calls when wearing them?
No doubts in my experience that the 458BT is the champion here for music, especially when you take full advantage of the EQ! For calls, it is decent as it is an older model. So do expect that wind noise to still come through on the calls!

Which has better functionality?
Absolutely the 458BT. The Accentum for some reason has been made to keep spaces around you quiet. Sennheiser made this too literal into the power function (perhaps due to language barriers), which is only a beep noise, and that is incredibly frustrating as I have unintentionally left the headphones on standby for a long time, depleting the battery. Additionally, they only come with a USB-C to USB-C cable. You cannot use them with a laptop or mobile phone without Bluetooth (frustrating!).

Summary:
If  @sennheiser  is looking to substitute the Accentum models and its variants, they must look between the 458BT era and the Momentum Models (their flagship models).
