A potentially decent set of headphones entirely let down by poorly fitting earcups

Fast; agile sound; Premium feel and build; Control system

Poor fit; Catastrophic loss of bass

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...

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

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

Beyerdynamic has done everything right in terms of sound. The Amiron Wireless is one of the best Bluetooth headsets on the market and would stand as one of the best devices of its kind in its price range, even without its Bluetooth connectivity.

Most headphones we review these days are meant for use on the go, with inline microphones, phone controls, and wireless audio. Beyerdynamic's Amiron Home headphones are more or less the polar opposite of all these options—$599 wired over-ears that lack any extra features. And yet, for those seeking accuracy and detail, these are headphones worth saving for. The emphasis is on clarity in the high-mids and highs, but the Amiron Home can reach down to the deepest bass depth when the mix calls for it. And while an open design means you won't be using these headphones in the office, the sense of detail and space the drivers provide makes quality recordings take on a whole new life. Design The circumaural (over-the-ear) Amiron Home's open design leaks audio outward—this helps create a better sense of depth and space, but may annoy anyone sitting near you. With "microvelour"-lined earpads and a headband that's thoroughly padded and exceptionally comfortable, the black-and-gray headphones...

The expensive Beyerdynamic Amiron Home headphones deliver powerful sub-bass and detailed highs with superb accuracy.

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

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.
