Geekscape Tech Review: Beyerdynamic Byron Wired Earbuds, Custom Street Headphones, and iDX 200 iE Earbuds

If you haven’t heard of Beyerdynamic, then your ears are missing out. I got a chance to try out three of their latest products with the Byron Wired Earbuds, the Custom Street Headphones, and the iDX 200 iE Earbuds.

I’ll start with the Byron Wired Earbuds. These premium earphones have some seriously powerful neodymium speakers for some serious sound and bass. They come with some silicone eartips for comfort and isolation, and it has a carrying bag included for even more classiness.

There is a 3-button remote control and a hands-free microphone. I don’t think I need to tell you how good the sound is, but it has a 9.0 mm speaker diameter if you want the tech specs.

Normally, I don’t included any pictures of the packaging on my reports, but the Android logo is featured prominently in the corner of the packaging on this Beyerdynamic product. I guess I can see why, as the iPhone 7 is missing that headphone jack, so why not promote some earbuds designed for mobile living to the Android devices that can accept something with a headphone jack?

You should be able to purchase the Byron earbuds on the Beyerdynamic site for about $49.95.

As far as the Custom Street Headphones are concerned, I’m going to start by telling you that I have no idea why it is called the “Custom Street”. I suppose that if you were designing a street, you would have a lot of variations. In this case, the Custom Street has a lot of options, and I guess it’s really street.

For example, there is a customizable style as you can take out these little circles on the side to make it look very different each time. There is also a Custom Sound Slider, allowing the user to switch from several different sound profiles like “Heavy Bass” or “Analytical”.

You can also change out the cable so it is a device for DJing, an extra pair of headphones, and you can also add a gooseneck mic as well. By the way, it comes with a mic on it so you can do some phone calls.

The Beyerdynamic headphones come with a case and can be found on the Beyerdynamic website for $149.00.

I am very pleased to try out these new earbuds with the iDX 200 iE. These are some pretty great looking earbuds in a market that is very crowded with them, and the cans in the ears are nice and metallic with titanium.

If you are wondering whether or not this pair of high-quality earbuds come with a microphone, then fear not. After all, that is kind of a standard feature these days, and it has a 3-button remote that is good for all Apple and many Android devices as well.

What is interesting is how the cables are flat, and they are flexible as they are detachable. The cable length is 40 cm and it can be extended with a 90 cm cable. In case you are worried about it not being comfortable, well, it has 7 sizes of silicone eartips along with 3 pairs of Comply eartips.

The sound is good, and worthy of having the Beyerdynamic label. If you want to try these out for yourself, I have so far been only able to find them on Beyerdynamic’s Europe site for €199.00.

Also, do you want to hear more about the latest in technology? In early January, there is a big event in Las Vegas known as CES (Consumer Electronics Show). I want to go and report on it, but I need some help. I have a new GoFundMe site that will “Send Mark (me) to CES 2017”. Please click here and make a donation.
