Beyerdynamic has thrown its hat into the true wireless earbuds ring. The Free Byrd are the headphone specialist's first truly wireless model, and it looks like they could be a contender.
For the uninitiated, Beyerdynamic has seen great success with both in-ear and over-ear headphones at both premium and budget ends of the market. Its Soul Byrd wired in-ears are consistently ranked one of our favourite budget models, while the Amiron and Amiron Wireless are superb over-ears. All three models earned five stars from us.
Wearing their audio heritage on their sleeve, they have a design that's reminiscent of a guitar pick. And a low latency mode should minimise the lag between on-screen action and the corresponding sound reaching your ears.
The app can perform a hearing test and then tweak the buds' output to suit your hearing, so you get a completely personalised experience. Or there are equaliser presets to choose from.
They're available now in black or grey for $249 (about £200, AU$360).
In truth, there's nothing here we haven't seen before. But given Beyerdynamic's heritage and great track record, we're excited to give these an audition.
