With a unique ear hook design and each earpiece weighing just 10.8g, the VERIO 200 is supposed to stay securely in the ear for use while exercising or commuting. The ear hooks are made with silicone and memory wire, allowing for a comfortable fit enhanced by the on-ear design that promises not to cause pressure to build up in the ear canal.

Andreas Rapp, Managing Director for Beyerdynamic, told StereoNET:

With VERIO 200, we offer our customers the unique opportunity to enjoy their favourite music or podcasts while being connected to the outside world. The supra-aural design also ensures excellent comfort. A perfect alternative to common in-ear models, which can sometimes create pressure in the ear canal.

The faceplate has built-in touch sensors for controlling volume, media playback, and more. A new app is also being developed, with features such as a 5-band equaliser for sound tweaking and touch control customisation.

Inside, the earbuds are equipped with a 16.2mm graphene-neodymium dynamic driver. Thanks to Bluetooth 5.3, support for SBC, AAC, and aptX Adaptive codecs, as well as multipoint functionality, are all onboard. There are also two integrated microphones with cVc technology to detect and filter out ambient noise so that the wearer's voice can be clearly transmitted during calls.

We are promised up to eight hours of battery life in the earbuds, with another 27 hours in the charging case for a grand total of 35 hours. Additionally, ten minutes of quick charge translates to up to 60 minutes of playtime, a nifty feature for people who forget to charge their earbuds. An IP54 rating for the VERIO 200 means that the earbuds will be protected from sweat and rain during workouts.

There are three colours available: Black, Cream, and "Sport." The latter is a black model with accents of Beyerdynamic's signature orange. The VERIO 200 sports an RRP of $319 RRP.
