We recently reviewed another excellent pair of headphones with variable bass response-the $500 Sennheiser HD 630VB . Interestingly, these headphones look like the Amiron Home - like gear better suited for the living room or basement than the subway - but Sennheiser markets the HD 630VB as headphones...

Fantastic, accurate sonic performance with excellent bass depth and superb clarity and detail in the highs; Open design lends a greater sense of space; Exceptionally comfortable

Very expensive; Open design leaks sound outward

It seems Beyerdynamic didn't get the memo that analog jacks are out and wireless streaming and Lightning ports are in. The company's $599 Amiron home headphones tether you to your choice of musical source and practically insist that you stay put and take your music seriously.

Lush sound; incredible detail; and superb dynamics; Amazing bass from an open design that will best many closed-back models; Light in weight and very comfortable to wear for long sessions

Large in difficult to carry with you; The 3-meter cable that's included is too long for on-the-go use; and a shorter replacement costs $105

You'll be hard-pressed to find better headphones for less than $1,000.

price tag is enough to make even the most hardcore music listener do a double take. Which begs the question.. is it worth it? Let's take a look.

We need to get straight to the point here. Beyerdynamic Amiron Home is not exactly a cheap headphone, and it won't be exactly cheap to drive either. At 600 EUR price point, Amiron sits comfortably in the upper midrange to the high end area of headphones.

Soft; Musical Sound; Very well built; Heavenly Comfortable; Good Treble Extension; Tight Bass just slightly north of neutral; Very Clear; Good Ergonomics; Quite revealing

Pretty hard to drive to be loud enough; Premium Quality leads to a premium price

Amazing sound a very good over the ear tesla headphone at an amazing price

Beyerdynamic is a pretty conservative company, and its sound hasn't really changed all that much over the last decade. I started to sense something was up in 2015 when I reviewed the flagship T 1 second-generation headphone that took the brightness down a smidge.

Designed and made in Germany; Concise and clear sound; Extra comfy

Plastic earcups break the high-end spell

Wireless headphones have been around for years but never quite took off with the audiophile crowd as the limitations of Bluetooth codecs and bandwidth left a lot of audio detail out.

Excellent build quality and comfort; Detailed; dynamic and spacious sound; Sounds just as good wired

Not ideal for travel; Mobile app needs work; Expensive

The Amiron Wireless won the Zero1 Award 2018 for Wireless Headphones and anyone who puts this pair on will understand why. The audio is detailed, staging is excellent and we found ourselves rediscovering our favourite tracks, sans the wires.

Excellent sound; Comfortable; Sounds good wired as well; Includes cable with in-line remote

Bulky; No ANC; Expensive

For more than a decade, I've been investing in the best and coolest gadgets to add to my travel rig, which is where I most often use headphones. In an Apple-dominated, iPhone X world where wired headphones are becoming a thing of the past, I have taken a look at nearly all of the key players in the...
