Beyerdynamic, the German audio brand synonymous with professional-grade equipment, is making a bold leap from the recording studio to the consumer market. As the company celebrates its 100th anniversary (coincidental with IFA’s 100-year anniversary), it’s fascinating to reflect on its legacy, one that’s intertwined with some of the greatest names in music. From the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Jimi Hendrix to contemporary superstars like Ariana Grande, Justin Beiber, and Taylor Swift, beyerdynamic headphones have become a silent partner in the creation of iconic sounds. And now, the company is taking all that studio expertise and packaging it into products for everyday listeners, offering premium audio experiences for anyone willing to invest.
At IFA 2024, beyerdynamic marked its centennial year by unveiling two new consumer products: the Aventho 300 over-ear headphones and the Amiron 300 true wireless earbuds. Both products are packed with cutting-edge technology, promising a seamless audio experience that brings the beyerdynamic studio sound to everyday life.
beyerdynamic Aventho 300: Studio-Grade Sound Goes Mobile
The Aventho 300 is beyerdynamic’s latest flagship over-ear headphone, and it brings the precision of the studio into a portable, wireless format. Featuring beyerdynamic’s legendary STELLAR.45 drivers (from their flagship DT 770 PRO X headphones), these wireless headphones deliver the kind of detail and clarity typically reserved for professional-grade equipment. Whether you’re listening to music on the go or mixing tracks on your laptop, the Aventho 300 ensures you hear every note as the artist intended.

One of the standout features is the Dolby Atmos head-tracking technology, which offers immersive spatial audio that adjusts to your movements, making it perfect for watching movies or playing games on the go. And for those who need quiet, the hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) powered by dual Sony chipsets will keep distractions at bay. But if you’re navigating a busy airport or commuting, the transparency mode ensures you stay aware of your surroundings without having to take off your headphones.
The Aventho 300 boasts up to 50 hours of continuous playtime on a single charge. With a two-hour charge giving you full battery life and a quick 10-minute charge providing five additional hours of use, these headphones are designed to keep up with even the busiest lifestyles. The Aventho 300 also supports Bluetooth 5.4, multi-device pairing, and high-resolution audio codecs like AAC, aptX Adaptive, and aptX Lossless, ensuring top-tier sound quality no matter what device you’re using.
Priced at $399.99, the Aventho 300 will be available on the beyerdynamic e-shop and Amazon in Q4 2024.
beyerdynamic Amiron 300: True Wireless with a Studio Edge
For those who prefer earbuds but don’t want to sacrifice sound quality, beyerdynamic has the Amiron 300. These true wireless earbuds pack the company’s signature 10mm dynamic drivers into a compact design, delivering deep bass, crystal-clear highs, and precise mids that rival much larger headphones. Whether you’re working out, traveling, or just enjoying some downtime, the Amiron 300 provides pristine audio for every occasion.

Like the Aventho 300, the Amiron 300 features customizable ANC and a transparency mode, ensuring you can tune out the world or stay aware when needed. These earbuds also offer up to 38 hours of total battery life, with 10 hours of continuous playtime per charge and a Qi-compatible charging case that provides an additional 28 hours of battery life. A 10-minute charge gives you 2 more hours of listening time, making it easy to keep the music going.
The Amiron 300 is also equipped with six microphones, enhanced with advanced algorithms to filter out ambient noise during calls. Whether you’re in a busy office or on a noisy street, your voice will come through clearly. Multipoint Bluetooth 5.3 allows for seamless switching between devices, and automatic play/pause functionality means you won’t miss a beat if you take out an earbud.
The Amiron 300 will be available in Q4 2024 for $279.99.
Accompanying the two new launches is the Verio 200, beyerdynamic’s open-ear earphones launched earlier this year. The Verio 200, beyerdynamic’s first foray into open-ear sports headphones, offers an entirely new experience for active listeners. Launched in June 2024, the Verio 200 is designed with athletes and outdoor enthusiasts in mind, combining an ergonomic, lightweight frame with a durable build. Its open-ear design with a secure ear stem ensures that users stay aware of their surroundings while enjoying high-quality sound, making it ideal for running, cycling, or other outdoor activities. The Verio 200 was a significant first step for beyerdynamic as it moved beyond its professional roots and enters the broader consumer audio market. With its water-resistant construction and long battery life, it’s clear that beyerdynamic is applying the same rigorous attention to detail that has made its studio products legendary.

Beyerdynamic’s transition into the consumer space feels like a natural evolution. For a century, the company has been at the forefront of professional audio, helping artists craft timeless music in studios around the world. Now, with the Aventho 300, Amiron 300, and Verio 200, they’re giving consumers access to that same world-class sound in everyday settings, with a consumer-friendly price-point to match.
