For certain products, a lack of flashiness can be advantageous, and wireless earbuds exemplify this concept. Many consumers prioritize comfort, functionality, and sound quality over a flashy, status-driven product. Even users of AirPods often choose them not for their aesthetics, but because they are among the most compatible earbuds with an iPhone in terms of functionality.
Beyerdynamic’s Amiron 300 earbuds might not be the best in any specific category, such as sound quality, noise cancellation, or battery life, but they perform nearly at the top level in all these areas. This makes the $280 earbuds worth considering. The brand’s renowned sound profile from recording studios contributes to the appeal, and few would expect such an understated product to deliver so well.
The earbuds come in a minimalist rectangular charging case, containing simple, pill-shaped earbuds with a small indentation bearing the Beyerdynamic logo. These earbuds distinguish themselves from others by a flash of orange on the silicone ear tips inside the case. They also feature “Amiron 300” in silver alongside clearly marked ‘R’ and ‘L’ indicators for correct placement. Despite their unassuming design, the Amiron 300 earbuds are surprisingly comfortable and ergonomically suited for human ears, secure without additional ear fins or holders. They are supplied with five pairs of ear tips, allowing users to find a suitable fit, even if different sizes are preferred for each ear.
Connecting these earbuds to a phone is straightforward, with nearly instant pairing possible on Android devices. The Beyerdynamic app, available on both iOS and Android, allows users to adjust settings. Users can customize the functions of the touch-sensitive buds with one, two, or three taps, or by holding. The default settings are intuitive, with one tap for play/pause, two taps to change ANC mode, three taps for track skipping, and holding to adjust the volume up or down depending on the ear.
