Beyerdynamic Free Byrd

Assertive bass, energetic performance ; Good comfort ; Excellent Bluetooth connection ; Mimi sound personalisation

Good but not great ANC ; Not as precise or clear as rival true wireless ; Build quality doesn’t feel premium

Massive bass and pleasant sound signature ; Feature-filled ; Very long battery life

Call quality is just ok ; Premium price ; Chunky-looking design

Muscular, energetic sound ; Mimi sound personalisation ; Good spec, good control options

They’re not without charm, but more importantly the Beyerdynamic Free Byrd are not without competition.

“Silky sound and huge stamina make for a good set of Apple alternatives.”

Excellent audio performance with rich bass depth and detailed highs ; Above-average noise cancellation ; Case supports wireless charging ; Solid battery life

Expensive ; App lacks customizable EQ and controls ; Capacitive touch controls can sometimes lag

The Beyerdynamic Free Byrd earphones deliver exceptional audio and reasonably good noise cancellation, but their app and on-ear controls could use a bit more attention.

Requires third-party support to achieve better sound ; Thick design ; Charging case has short battery life ; No Bluetooth multipoint or control customization

The Beyerdynamic Free Byrd delivers great sound and noise cancellation, though it relies too much on software for optimal performance.

Difficult to adjust volume with touch controls ; Earbuds may be too chunky for listeners with small ears ; ANC is good, but we’ve heard better

Great sound quality ; Comfortable in the ear ; Easy to Use ; Great call quality ; aptX, SBC, AAC support ; Bluetooth multipoint compatability

Neck band design is a bit dated, for my liking ; ANC is just OK, not the best in class ; Needs a better EQ in the app

Unique design is bulkier than other options and some may not like it. ; Transparency Mode is not as good as some of the competition ; They are pricey which some may not like ; Because of the bulkier design, the case is larger than others

Overall, the beyerdynamic Free BYRD TWS headphones are easily in the top three best TWS headphones list for us. If I had to rank them on the top three, they would be second to Apple’s, but only by a skinny margin. Those who don’t want anything to do...
