Beyerdynamic has launched three pairs of consumer headphones: one set of ANC over-ears with aptX Lossless audio, plus two sets of open-ears for casual wear, fitness and sports.

The headphones are the Aventho 200, and they're a more affordable version of the Aventho 300 headphones that we really rated not long after their launch, last year. The new 200 come with 64 hours of battery life, 45mm dynamic drivers, replaceable ear cups and a memory foam headband. There are two color options: black and Nordic Gray.

The Aventho 200 headphones have a recommended retail price of £219 / €249 (about $295 /AU$450) and they'll launch in this quarter of 2025.

Beyerdynamic's open-ear headphones: key features and pricing

There are two models here, the sports-focused Amiron 200 and the more fashionable Amiron Zero. Both models come in a choice of black, white or a fancy 'Sport' finish with black bodies and orange highlighting.

The Amiron 200 have Bluetooth 5.3 and up to 36 hours of battery life, and they're IP54 resistant to sweat and dust. Beyerdynamic says they deliver seriously hefty bass, and as they're open-ears you'll still be able to hear airport announcements, approaching traffic and other key sounds from around you. The Amiron 200 have an RRP of £159 / €179 (about $214 / AU$326).

The most affordable pair here are the new Amiron Zero, which have Bluetooth 5.4 but shorter battery life: 20 hours to the Amiron 200's 36. They're extremely light at just 6g per side, and like the Amiron 200 they have IP54 dust and water resistance. They'll set you back £129 / €149 (about $174 / AU$265).
