Beyerdynamic has launched the Aventho Y, a new pair of wireless over-ear headphones with a 90-hour battery, fast charging, support for switching between two devices at once, and a battery and ear pads you can actually replace yourself. The headphones were unveiled ahead of IFA Berlin and go on sale on September 3 in four color options.

Battery, Bluetooth, and ANC that actually hold up

The Aventho Y uses Multipoint Bluetooth 6.0, so you can hop between your laptop and phone without issues. Battery life goes up to 90 hours with ANC turned off, and if you’re in a rush, five minutes on the charger buys you another six hours of playback.

Beyerdynamic is also paying a lot of attention to user comfort. The ear pads and headband offer ample cushion, making them perfect for long listening sessions. Beyerdynamic is also releasing an upgrade kit with a matching USB-C dongle and a color-coordinated boom mic, turning the Aventho Y into a full headset setup.

On the audio side, a 45mm dynamic driver handles the heavy lifting, aiming to capture the finer details in your music. The over-ear design blocks outside noise on its own, and switching on ANC cuts down distractions even further.

Parts you can actually replace

Another big selling point for Aventho Y headphones is that they are made to last. Beyerdynamic built the headphones with long-term wear in mind, so a worn-out part doesn’t mean you need to replace the whole headset. You can individually swap out the pieces that see the most use, including the battery, magnetic ear pads, aluminum sliders, and stainless steel hinges.

Where can you try them first?

Beyerdynamic is showing off the Aventho Y today at the ShowStoppers media event before IFA kicks off, with a public demo at the Hama booth once the show opens on September 4. There’s also a dance event on September 6 at Flying Steps’ Backyard Battles, where attendees can test the headphones and enter a raffle to win a pair.

Audio-Technica’s new wireless StreamSet headset promises studio sound without the cables
Finally, a wireless headset that takes your voice seriously.
Audio technica new headset.

I've lost count of wireless headsets that sound great until the microphone switches on. That is exactly why a cord-free streaming headset from a studio-audio brand earns my attention (with a pinch of skepticism). Audio-Technica wants to change my mind, and I am all up for it.

The company has announced the "ATH-M50xSTS-WL," its first wireless headset in the StreamSet line. What's unique, however, is how the brand has combined the studio sound of its ATH-M50x monitor headphones with microphone tech from its 20 Series studio mics (via Audio-Technica).

Samsung’s new clip-on earbuds are coming to the US, and they’re not cheap
You can listen to music without blocking out the world around you, but Samsung is charging a premium for the convenience.
Samsung Galaxy Buds On earbuds

Earlier this month, Samsung unveiled its first clip-on earbuds called the Galaxy Buds On. Initially, it announced pricing and availability details only for Korea, but now the brand has revealed them for the US market as well. As per Samsung, the Galaxy Buds On will cost $229 and will be available to buy in early November. Only one color option, Black, will be available initially.

That is quite a steep price, considering the flagship Galaxy Buds 4 Pro go for $250. The Buds On also has no active noise cancellation, weaker bass response, and lower dust and water resistance. All that said, the use case is fundamentally different. While you might choose the Buds 4 Pro as the best daily drivers for your Galaxy smartphone, the Buds On keep your ear canals open, letting you listen to music while staying aware of traffic, conversations, and everything else happening around you. I can see the appeal for people who find traditional earbuds uncomfortable, or those who regularly listen to music while running or commuting.
