Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless Copper Review: Best Sounding Wireless Headphones

Just a few years ago, the sound from Bluetooth headphones was miserable. We know today that the Bluetooth standard has come a long way. But many, including me, have still preferred corded solutions when listening to the music we love. Until today.

Design and comfort

Beyerdynamic was kind enough to send their Amiron Wireless Copper for review and what a real pleasure it has been to test these for a while. The first thing that struck me is that they are delivered in a fairly sturdy packaging. Larger than my Sony XM4 and almost colossal compared to Bang & Olufsen’s Beoplay Portal. The headphones are in their cocoon (or is it an egg?) And it almost feels like I could drive over the case with my car without there being a scratch on the headphones (watch Techcravers unboxing here!).

And oh my, what a beautiful pair of headphones this is. And everything, from the sleek copper logo on the case to the copper details on the headphones themselves breaths premium. I can not point out enough how much I love the design of the Amiron Wireless Copper.

They’re made from aluminium and high-quality plastics, with a plush-feeling Alcantara headband. As you would expect of a product at this level, everything feels suitably premium in both build and feel.

Here, I need to highlight Amiron Wireless Copper’s first small shortcoming. Since I would argue that these headphones undoubtedly can withstand outdoor use, but for wireless headphones with such a durable construction and impressive battery life, Amiron Wireless is simply unsuitable for outdoor use. This is largely due to the fact that the earcups are not foldable or rotatable. Also, since the cups are so large, there is simply no way to comfortably wear them around the neck. But to be fair, Beyerdynamic markets the headphones for home use and that’s definitely where I keen on using them.

And while on my head, those large cups makes the headphones super comfortable.

Features

A feature that the Amiron Wireless Coppes doesn’t have is active noise cancellation (ANC) and with so many talented and cheaper rivals offering that, that could be something of a disappointment. With a good seal around your ears, however, the cans do offer a fair amount of passive noise protection, so it may not be the be all and end all. And again, these are mainly for home use and not long flights or bus traveling.

The Amiron Wireless comes equipped with aptX, aptX HD, aptX-LL, AAC, and SBC for all your low-latency needs, making the headphones just as good for multimedia content as they are for music listening.

The headphones are advertised as having a 30+ hour battery life, which during my tests seems accurate enough.

Sound quality

I’m gonna make it easy for you. These are the best sounding wireless headphones I have ever used. In fact, the sound is so good that there is no difference when switching between the wireless and wired modes. The Amiron Wireless sounds just as good through a Bluetooth connection as it does through a wired 3.5mm cable. This even though the Bluetooth version is 4.2, not the newer 5.2 version. This basically just means that the range will be limited compared to a headphone using the latter spec and does not affect the sound quality.

The mids are just amazing, especially vocals and acoustic instruments that have an incredibly lifelike presence to them. And the highs are clean and open.

The bass is tight and accurate and it has a sub-bass that is just palpable. These headphones are clearly made for audiophiles, and as you know, audiophiles don’t want their bass to overshadow all the other frequencies.

Verdict

I’ve already revealed what I think of these headphones. It’s hard not to recommend the best headphones I’ve ever used in the price range.

However, it is important to understand that these are not your intended to be outdoor or travel headphones. These cans should be used when you’re relaxing at home listening to your favorite music.

The wireless range is affected by the old Bluetooth standard and they lack active noise cancellation, but who cares if they sound this good?
