BEYERDYNAMIC SOUL BYRD IN-EAR HEADPHONES HAVE LANDED
German headphone manufacturer Beyerdynamic has a new pair of wired in-ear headphones for the Australian market in the form of the Soul Byrd.
First unveiled at IFA 2018 in September this year, the Soul Byrd earphones have now landed and are ideal for consumers who have a 3.5mm headphone port on their smartphone or portable music player.
The Soul Byrd employ a closed-back design to prevent any sound leakage, while the cable is flexible and durable which both help to keep noise to an absolute minimum. Which is handy, as you’ll want to keep them in and enjoy the sound, which Beyerdynamic says is balanced while also boasting “outstanding” resolution.
They’ve been meticulously designed to be comfortable to wear in any situation, even those late nights in bed when you’re laying on your side. To this end, Beyerdynamic has designed the earpieces to be incredibly flat so that they sit flush with the auricle and don’t risk damaging your eardrum when you put your head to the pillow.
Along the 1.2-metre cable, you’ll find a three-button in-line microphone which can be used to control music playback, accept calls or call upon Google Assistant or Siri smart assistants, depending on the phone you have.
Beyerdynamic supplies the Soul Byrd with a carry case and five pairs of silicone ear tips to help ensure you get a snug fit.
To further banish external noise, the Soul Byrd can be paired with Comply Foam ear tips.
The Soul Byrd wired in-ear headphones are available now for $119.95 RRP.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
