The new flagship headphones offer listeners modern and upgraded features. According to Beyerdynamic, the Aventho 300 headphones prioritize comfort with premium swivel joints, aluminum booms, and an ergonomic design. According to the press release, the headphones are built for all-day comfort, and the brand’s Stellar.45 drivers are embedded in the headphones to deliver a rich audio experience.

The Aventho 300 offers up to 50 hours of battery life, noise cancellation and transparency modes powered by dual Sony chipsets, and spatial audio with Dolby Head Tracking, an increasingly popular audio feature for high-end headphones. Beyerdynamic’s new over-ear headphones are equipped with Bluetooth 5.4, which promises more stable connections and higher-quality audio playback.

Beyerdynamic’s new truly wireless headphones, the Amiron 300, also pack some advanced features into a lightweight, wireless package. According to Beyerdynamic, the Amiron 300 headphones are designed with a flat back, so you can listen to them lying down without feeling uncomfortable. The company says the Amiron 300 prioritize “deep bass, precise mids, and clear highs.”

The Amiron 300 feature Bluetooth 5.3, giving them multipoint Bluetooth functionality for seamless audio switching between devices. Beyerdynamic’s new earbuds also feature 10mm dynamic drivers, Qi-compatible wireless charging, six built-in microphones, custom noise cancellation, and in-ear detection.

Additionally, the Amiron 300 has up to 38 hours of battery life and up to 10 hours of continuous playback for all-day use, longer than Apple’s AirPods Pro 2, Sony’s XM5 earbuds, and Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Pro 3.
