Beyerdynamic Aventho Y review: I want to love these headphones, but poor sound dulls their shine
Beyerdynamic knows exactly what its 'why' is: to give you the best, most self-expressive out-and-about listening experience a relatively small budget can buy — the question is, has it fulfilled the brief with the Aventho Y?
Beyerdynamic Aventho Y headphones received a mixed review, with praise for their active noise cancellation (ANC) and long battery life, but criticism for their underwhelming sound quality. The headphones are designed to perform well in noisy outdoor environments and feature a Transparency mode for use in such settings. The ANC is described as impactful, but the sonic profile is criticized as lacklustre and lacking convincing dynamics.
Despite these shortcomings, the headphones boast a long battery life and are priced affordably at $149.99 / £129 / AU$280. The Aventho Y come with a pair of 45mm dynamic drivers, Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity, and a microphone for wireless phone calls. They also feature replaceable batteries and a USB-C port for both charging and wired listening.
