beyerdynamic 718513 Byron Wired Premium In-ear Headset

First off let me say I love these headphones, they have it all. Phenomenal sound, some of the best earbuds I've ever owned. Admittedly I am a bit of a bass head but they seem incredibly balanced and extremely fun to listen to. I used to own the Beyerdynamic MMX 101 IE's and fell in love with them so I decided to order these, the MMX 102 IE's, and the Shure SE 215's because they were all ones I wanted to try. Oddly enough the MMX's 102 IE's were louder at the same level on my phone compared to the Byrons (doesn't make much sense since they are essentially identical) and the worst... When I twisted the headphone jack on the MMX 102 it gave a lot of feedback, the Byron was flawless. Pros: Half the price of the Shure's for better sound (in my opinion) Very lightweight so more comfortable to wear for extended periods of tiem Incredible bass (they are rated 10-23,000Hz vs SE 215's 22-17,500Hz) so actually has a better range overall Good quality volume control button Headphone jack better quality than the MMX 102 iE L shaped connectors seem to have less issues with wear and tear Headphone controls work with my IPhone 6s even though it says for android Cons: Cord seems somewhat flimsy so don't know how long these will last Wish the cord was made with a less sticky rubber so it didn't tangle as much (cord on Shure 215's much sturdier) After discovering Beyerdynamic I will probably never go back as long as they keep making quality sounding products. Their sturdiness and longevity could be better, but I wouldn't want to sacrifice the comfort either because I barely notice these earbuds when I'm wearing them which I love. So glad I got these, amazing buy for the value.

If I could five these a 4.5, I think that would be more fair, but unfortunately there is no option for that. The sound quality is great as many people here and elsewhere have said. The sound is clear and balanced with a good bass response. These aren't the bassiest in ears I have ever used, but they're not really made or marketed as that. Rest assured though, they are tuned to a consumer friendly profile with highs that are slightly reined in and bass that is given some room. They also have a kind of spacial quality that is kind of surprising to find. Much less claustrophobic than some in ears feel. My few complaints mostly have to do with everything other than the earphones themselves. Mainly in some aspects of the build quality and the ear tips. I am confused as to why the earphones are finished with the silver material that they are finished with. It looks kind of like plastic and picks up microscratches very easily. I thought there was a layer of plastic over it or something, but that was just the material itself. It might be metal, but either way it doesn't really have the kind of resiliency to wear and tear that you would want. The fit of the earphones works but the eartips and the fit are not ideal. They only give you 3 sizes, which is okay but not ideal. For 50 dollars they could have thrown in 4 tiers at least. The eartips are also not of the highest quality; a far cry from sony hybrid eartips or something of similar quality. They isolate fine, but are not so great. In addition, because of how these eartips fit it your ears, they have a tendency to pop out when you lay down or move around. This is worse than what you would encounter on most other in ear headphones. You could of course select a larger eartip size to compensate, but this doesn't really help much and is kind of uncomfortable. If they gave 1 more size option or something this perhaps would not have been as big as an issue. For 50 dollars, I expect high quality earphones with slightly more budget build quality and accessories than what you would get for the 99 dollars price point. In this sense, they are exactly what they seem to be and what you would expect. I have some qualms about them, but they are worth the money if you don't already have earphones at the higher price tiers. If you want something cheap for everyday use, I would look cheaper than this.

I bought these headphones in April and it is now currently the beginning of October, the tenth of 2017 to be exact and now one of the earbuds is not working and these pair have been meticulously kept safe and I don't use these to work out. Just one day it stopped working, very frustrating as it didn't even last a year. Nice sound while it lasted, I do believe there is some issue with quality control cause it just stopped working, very frustrating to see how this costs so much but doesn't even last. Maybe i got a bad pair, I would like to see where I would need to contact to get the warranty on these as I have lost the paper and stuff that comes with this. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU KNOW THAT INFO SO I CAN CONTACT THEM.

The beyerdynamic Byron Wired were the best sounding earphones I've ever had. Compared to the SoundMagic's E10Cs that I previously owned, the Byron sounds more natural - emphasizing on the middles with sufficient bass. They were a pleasure to wear, except when moving since the rubber/plastic cables would produce sounds that could be heard with medium volume. The downside though, is the Byrons are really fragile. Like really really fragile. I made my purchase in August, and the earphones barely lasted me 2+ months. After 2 months of medium usage with proper care (I really took the effort to make sure the earphones are never under strain and always in the pouch that came with the purchase), the left side speaker wouldn't work anymore. Now that I do not live in the US, I also can't return the item due to high shipping cost (I'm only a student). Now, I'm stuck with a 40+ USD one-sided earphone, but I really enjoyed them while they lasted. Side note: After thorough research, I believe it is safe to assume that this is not a faulty device and that most Byron users face this issue as well. Thank you for taking your time and reading this review.

Mi experiencia personal con los Beyerdynamic Byron vs SoundMagic E10. He disfrutado los SoundMagic durante unos 3 años hasta que han pasado a mejor vida, y la verdad es que me encantaban. Tenían un sonido limpio, detallado, con una buena apertura espacial de los canales y una respuesta bastante lineal, que los hacía ideales para la escucha de música clásica. En mi caso dedico un 90% a escuchar música clásica y un 10% a pop-rock. Con la música pop-rock eran un poco endebles con las bajas frecuencias. Cuando llegó el momento de renovar los auriculares estuve dudando entre unos y otros (Beyerdynamic Byron y SoundMagic E10) por las buenas críticas de ambos; finalmente me decidí por los Beyerdynamic simplemente por probar algo distinto, ya que el dinero que arriesgaba en caso de compra fallida tampoco era como para llevarse las manos a la cabeza. Y lo cierto es que no me arrepiento de mi elección. Después de haberle hecho un rodaje de unas dos semanas de uso intenso, en las que el sonido se ha suavizado muchísimo respecto de la primera escucha, mi opinión es que los Byron son sensiblemente superiores a los E10: la apertura de canales, que ya era buena en los E10, es en los Byron aún mejor, los agudos y medios son igual de detallados, pero es en las bajas frecuencias donde los Byron ganan por goleada, ya que aportan unos bajos con cuerpo pero muy equilibrados que dan empaque y redondean la audición de todo tipo de música, incluida la música clásica; en los E10, en mi opinión, los bajos eran suficientes pero un poco justitos. Por lo que respecta al cable, el de los E10 da una sensación de más robustez, sin que se pueda reprochar nada los Byron. Éstos llevan incorporado un micrófono, pudiendo servir de dispositivo manos-libres, mientras que los E10 eran simplemente auriculares para escucha. El ajuste de ambos auriculares al canal auditivo es bueno. Sobre este particular, indicar que los E10 traen muchas más opciones de almohadilla que los Byron, los cuales sólo incluyen tres; pero han sido suficientes para mí ya que me ajustan perfectamente con las que trae de fábrica sin que haya sido necesario cambiarlas. Ambos acompañan un accesorio para el transporte (caja rígida en el caso de los E10 y bolsa de tela para los Byron) el cual, en ambos casos, cumple perfectamente su cometido.

Please take your time to read through my review for this an honest and unbiased feedback based on regular and casual use by a college student. First of all, sound quality is among the best you can get in a consumer grade earphone. I've owned many earphones ranging from 500 - 5000. I would say that this is among the top in terms of sound stage and quality while being in middle in terms of price. Sound is neutral and full with clarity in the lows, mids and highs. Build quality is on the up and up, reasonably well done and clean. Maintains a decent and plain look, nothing fancy but fine for most. Fit is subjective but this has been the best fitting in-ear for me. Going deep and snug into my canal, stays there even during intense workouts. This brings me to some of it's extra high points, since it fits well the passive noise cancelling is excellent. The earphone comes with an in-line remote cum mic with 3 buttons. Talking about mic, it is another important part of the earphone and it does not disappoint. I've played a lot of PUBG Mobile with it and my teammates never complained of mic issues even once. Lastly I would like to comment on beyerdynamic support in India, my earphones malfunctioned just after 6 months. To be more clear, the left side of the earphone stopped working and it left a sour feeling for me. Since the earphone was covered under a 2 year warranty I decided to contact beyerdynamic India, and boy was I handled with importance. I sent a mail to them and with in hour I was asked to post the earphone to their Bangalore offices for further inspection. Within a day of it reaching them, they sent a mail saying they would hook me up with a replacement as soon as new stocks arrived from Germany. All in all, I would say that this is a solid earphone from a reputed company and can openly recommend it to a friend. Sorry for the long review but I'm sure that this would be enough for anyone to make a purchase decision. Thanks for going through it :DD

HALTBARKEIT: Zunächst einmal muss ich sagen, dass ich den Kopfhörer erst den zweiten Tag in Benutzung habe. Über Abnutzung, Haltbarkeit usw. kann ich also noch nicht viel sagen. Aber auf den ersten Blick macht er einen wertigen Eindruck (90° Winkelstecker, Fixierklemme für ans Tshirt, Kabeldicke ok, Klinkenstecker sitzt fest im Handy (Galaxy S5) und sorgt beim Drehen oder Wackeln für keine Störgeräusche (anders als die 10 Euro Stopsel von Sony aus dem MM, welche ich immer wieder gerne fürs Fitnessstudio kaufe, da dort halt mal schnell was kaputt geht). KLANG: Ich nehme es sehr genau mit dem Klang. Zu grelle oder zu basslastige Setups stören mich spätestens nach ein paar Minuten. Aber dazu gleich mehr. Sie kaufen hier einen In-Ear Kopfhörer (geschlossenes System). Erwarten sie also nicht das Stereovermögen eines offenen/halboffenen Systems.Als Vergleich: Ich nutze für meinen Computer das Beyerdynamic DT990 (offenes System) an einer Soundblaster Z Soundkarte (neutrale Einstellungen). Dessen Klang ist wunderbar und nicht aufdringlich, allerdings kann man damit nicht in der Bahn fahren oder Musik hören während jemand im Raum ist (offenes System ist wörtlich gemeint). Geschlossene Systeme hingegen schirmen Außengeräusche stark ab und entwickeln (bei richtigem Sitz) oft einen starken Bass im Gehörgang und zugleich ein - zumindest anfang - komisches Gefühl der Isolation. Nicht jeder mag das. Ich mag es für Bahn/Mittagspause im Büro (niemand hört mir zu) und Garten (laute Nachbarkinder). Das Byron System schafft es an meinem Galaxy S5 (klanglich nicht besonders optimal, aber wohl für viele eine sinnvolle Referenz) einen sehr angenehmen, ausgewogenen Sound zu erzeugen, egal ob Hiphop (Low Bass), Pop, Hardstyle oder Schlager gespielt werden. Es kann unter Umständen im ersten Moment etwas zu stark im Bass und etwas zu schwach in den Höhen klingen, aber a) gewöhnt man sich daran weil der Bass sehr klar herüberkommen und deswegen trotz des Drucks nicht stört (kein Bassmatsch) und b) kann man mit EQs nachhelfen, das klappt dann auch ohne dass es sich "gequält" anhört. Ist halt eine Abstimmungssache. Ein Minus gibt es allerdings, aber das habe ich persönlich noch bei keinem InEar Kopfhörer anders erlebt. Schüttelt man das Kabel bzw. schlägt man dran, hört man das auch im Ohr. Das stört mich eigentlich nicht wirklich, deswegen trotzdem 5 Sterne. Und ab einer gewissen Lautstärke bekommt man davon auch beim Laufen (entlang der Jacke schlackern) nichts mehr mit. Wer das als "no-go" einstuft, der sollte vielleicht mal bei Kopfhörerer für deutlich mehr Geld nachschauen, vielleicht können die das besser. Aber für mich ist das eine normale Erscheinung bei In-Ear Systemen. Auch bei Sennheiser um die 50 Euro war das so. TRAGEGEFÜHL: Während ich diese Rezension im Garten schreibe, höre ich mit diesem Kopfhörer Musik. Das schöne an Beyerdynamik bzw. etwas besseren Kopfhörern ist, dass man durchaus länger laut hören kann, ohne dass man Ohrenschmerzen oder unwohl sein erfährt. Grund scheint wohl die Frequenzabstimmung und Auflösung zu sein. Die mitgelieferten Gummikappen musste ich erst garnicht benutzen, der auf dem Kopfhörer angebrachte Satz passt bei mir glücklicherweise auf anhieb. Hier heißt es probieren! Falls der Kopfhörer nicht richtig sitzt ,haben Sie überhaupt keinen Bass. Auch hier lässt sich sagen, dass die Kopfhörer gut sitzen - man hat nicht das Gefühl dass sie einem rausrutschen könnten. Wenn man mit In-Ears klar kommt, sind diese aufjedenfall angenehm zu tragen. PS: Ich behalte mir vor diese Bewertung bei unverschuldetem Defekt abzuändern. Aber bisher kann ich das ganze nur mit sehr gut bewerten.

Was looking for a not-too-expensive good-sounding pair for work. Tried over-ears, but they were leaking too much (even closed-design), although Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm are incredible (not as incredible as DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm, but at least they leak less and sound almost like them). Disliked the absolute lack of spaciousness, extreme bass and receded mids on the Audiotechnika M50x (reminded me of the Beats), and Soundmagic HP151 were pretty good, but the bass was rather soft, didn't present/punch at certain frequencies. Out of earbuds, tried Byron Wired, Symphonized NRG 3.0 and Soundmagic E11. Symphonized are very bassy, good soundstage, not too wide, but just a bit too bassy for my taste. Soundmagic were underwhelming. The Byron Wired: I expected to like these much more than the others anyway. Beyerdynamic just have amazing consistency from product to product (i.e. sound signature is extremely similar through the whole range of models). Great soundstage and bass for such tiny earbuds. Spacious sound, very accurate reproduction through the whole range. The bass is juicy, but not overbearing and has a very consistent range (you hear parts not hearable through others). Pretty flat through lows/mids/highs, meaning that none of the segments are overemphasized. Of course, since this is an earbud, listening to lower bitrate tracks won't make you cringe (like it would with the DT 990 Pro). Would love if the cord and the connector were thicker. Have to be careful with them. Not sure if an earbud can be better sound quality-wise, especially for this price.

Un son vraiment bien détaillé, légèrement chaleureux, et surtout pas agressif dans les hauts aigus, ce qui évite les déasgréables sibillances (sons sssss et chhhh)que beaucoup trop de casques ont (voir photo courbe de réponse en fréquences).le son est ample, les voix ressortent bien sans excès .Un excellent rapport/ prix qui vaut bien des casques vendus plus chers. De plus ce casque est très confortable, meme apres une heure. Je vous invire à lire des "review" qui parlent de ce casque.
