For audiophiles like myself, there’s nothing that’s sweeter than the smooth sounds of a high end speaker system or reference pair of headphones. There’s the crisp and clean highs, the booming, oozing bass, and mids so special that they pull the highs and lows together so smoothly that the sound makes you bob your head and want to dance. There’s something amazing about a true quality headphone that brings out the best in your music. Pair high fidelity music with the right speaker/headphone setup and your ears will thank you.
From my experience, high-resolution sound comes with a pretty price tag, but Beyerdynamic has been specializing in producing headphone models that exceed expectations in quality and in price for well over a decade now, and their AMIRON Home high-res headphones accomplish just that. The AMIRON Home’s are high-resolution sound, which is advertised on the box by saying, ‘For music you can reach out and touch,’ but after listening to the sound quality, I think it’s the other way around… Music that touches you. Seriously, the sound is so good, especially when paired with high quality FLAC audio, and you are in for an experience. It’s almost like you’re sitting at a concert, because the music is all around you, it’s crisp and real, and the bass is almost palpable, and the symphony of sounds mix together into a beautiful cocktail of awesome and deeply pleasing sounds.
The AMIRON Home headphones are designed as open-back, giving you a more balanced and authentic concert experience in your own home. What I find fascinating is how Beyerdynamic incorporated Tesla’s technology to fine tune the drivers, making them highly efficient at 250 ohms. You can certainly hear the difference.
Here’s some more sound data for those audiophiles who are in the know:
As far as the physical design and fit of the AMRION Home’s, it all comes down to the quality of the material and their ability to provide you, the user, with the optimum fit. The AMIRON’s have thick, padded ear pads and headband that provide for a perfect fit. The texture is velvety and very cushioned, and fit better than any headphones I’ve tested. Not only are they ridiculously fine sounding, but they are equally comfortable, which can be rare in today’s market.
Last, but not least, the AMIRON Home headphones by Beyerdynamic include a premium carrying bag that can not be crushed (under normal circumstances), and fits the headphones beautifully. The style and quality of the hard case compliments the high end craftsmanship that is immediately evident with the model. Overall, I came away very impressed with the AMIRON Home Hi-Res Headphones; not only because they sound fantastic, with high end lows and highs, but also because they may be the most comfortable headphones on the market. I’m not sure you can do better than these at this price level, because comparable-to-better models from other audio producers tend to range above the millennial mark.
