For some products, It’s good to be plain. I’ll argue Wireless earplugs It is the pinnacle of this concept. You just need something that fits, works and sounds good, not wanting a glitzy state product. Even Airpods buyers I know don’t buy them for aesthetics. They buy them because they are the best earbuds to pair with iPhone in terms of functionality.
Beyerdynamic’s Amiron 300 lacks the top-notch, but I really like the brand’s new high-end earbuds. They are not Sounds best therethey don’t Best noise cancellationand they don’t have the best battery life on the market. But they have almost The best sound, almost Best noise cancellation, almost The best battery life makes these humble $280 buds worth considering.
Especially if you are familiar with the brand’s legendary sound profile in studio works, few manufacturers make Goldilocks products so humble. Leave it to the Germans.

Case, click
An understated rectangular charging box reveals a pair of simple buds that may have been designed on the surface by anyone who has stepped onto the subway and looked at the ears of people over the past five years. These are simple pill-shaped buds with a slight dip on the outside with a Y-shaped Beyerdynamic logo.

The only thing that distinguishes these from the appearance of other generic drugs is the flickering orange color from the inside of the silicone ear in the shell. Remove the buds and you’ll notice the silver “Amiron 300” on each side, as well as an easy-to-read R and L that puts the correct R and L in the correct holes.
For a pair of headphones that feel like you could have designed in Chatgpt, the Amiron 300 is shockingly comfortable and ergonomic in the ears. They easily twist my average size ears and stay there without the need for special ear fins or surround racks like many earplugs that keep safe. They come with five pairs of ear tips, which means you may find a suit that fits your ears, even if you want to use a different size tip on each side.
Listen to the meeting
Once you pair the buds with your phone (almost instantly On AndroidThanks for the quick pairing), you can download the Beyerdynamic app (ios,,,,, Android) and adjust any settings you need on the earbuds. I love that it allows you to adjust each side of the touch sensitive bud based on one, two or three taps, even when holding the bud.
The default value is logically set. One clicks to play and pause music, changes ANC mode twice, three skips the track, and keeps the volume adjusted on the side, depending on the side.
