Who it suits

  • Listeners who want headphones, earbuds and hi fi from one maker rather than headphones alone
  • Shoppers who put warranty length near the top of the list, given 2 years and a 4 place on it
  • Travellers who want noise cancelling and 90 hours of battery from the same pair

Who should look elsewhere

  • Buyers after turntables, since JBL lists headphones, earbuds and speakers including turntables and speakers
  • Gaming headset shoppers, since headphones is aimed squarely at gaming headsets
  • Whole home audio buyers, since multiroom is not offered here while JBL covers headphones, earbuds and speakers

How it compares on our data

On entry pricing, €99 places beyerdynamic at 51 of 64 brands, above the €60.68 median for headphones and earbuds and above the €88.34 median for hi-fi and turntables. On battery life, 90 hours puts the brand at 7 of 61, above the 48.5 median in that category. Warranty length is the strongest showing: 2 years earns 4 of 56, matching the 2 median for that category and sitting above the 1.75 median for headphones and earbuds.

Core features

The range spans headphones, earbuds and hi fi, so headphones, earbuds and hi-fi sit under one roof rather than at separate makers. Noise cancelling is part of the offering, which matters on trains and in shared offices. Battery life runs 90 hours on the quoted wireless model, clearing the 70 upper quartile for that category. Wireless playback lists aac, and multiroom is not offered. The 2 year warranty is the term that backs the range.

The company behind it

beyerdynamic trades as beyerdynamic GmbH & Co. KG, headquartered in Germany and founded in 1924. A century-old specialist maker is what gives the hi-fi side of the range its standing. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so buyers can reach the company by phone, by email or through a help centre rather than relying on a single channel.

Frequently asked questions

What does beyerdynamic cost to get started?+

Entry pricing starts at €99, which places the brand at 51 of 64 on price. It sits above the €60.68 median for headphones and earbuds, so buyers on a tight budget should compare cheaper listings in that ranking first.

How long is the warranty?+

The warranty runs 2 years, which earns a place of 4 out of 56 brands on length. It matches the 2 median for hi-fi and turntables and sits above the 1.75 median for headphones and earbuds.

What kinds of products are on offer?+

The catalogue covers headphones, earbuds and hi fi, so headphones, earbuds and hi-fi all come from the same maker. For a wider spread that includes speakers, soundbars and turntables, JBL lists headphones, earbuds and speakers. For a gaming only pick, CORSAIR covers headphones.

Does it cancel noise?+

Yes, noise cancelling is part of the range, so it works for travel and busy shared spaces. On battery, the quoted model runs 90 hours, a solid figure for daily commuting that puts the brand at 7 of 61.

Which wireless codecs are supported?+

Wireless playback lists aac. That is a narrower list than the codec spread across the headphones and earbuds ranking, so shoppers who want a wider choice of wireless codes should read the other brands in that ranking before settling on a pair.

Can multiroom audio be set up?+

No, multiroom is not offered, so there is no way to link several rooms. Playback stays with the headphones, earbuds and hi fi in the range. Listeners building audio across a home may prefer JBL, which lists headphones, earbuds and speakers including speakers and soundbars.

Where does it ship and how is support handled?+

Payment and shipping run to AT, BE and DE, and support comes through email, phone and help centre. Buyers outside that market list should check their country against the published markets before ordering, and plan on email, phone or the help centre for questions.

How long has the company been running?+

The company is beyerdynamic GmbH & Co. KG, headquartered in Germany and founded in 1924. That history matters most to hi-fi buyers, since the range includes hi-fi alongside headphones, earbuds and hi fi, and support is reachable by phone, email or help centre.
