beyerdynamic AVENTHO 300 Wireless Over-Ear Headphones with ANC

I wanted to like these headphones but found myself returning them as despite the upper tier price (for an ANC headphone), I found them quite average. The design, build quality and comfort were all good, but noise cancelling and overall sound were disapointing.The noise cancelling was average, OK for office noise but lacking outdoors for traffic noise etc. The sound quality was clear, balanced and without the overemphasised bass, but I found the tonality to be off, with everything sounding like it was being played through low quality, despite playing Hi-Res files from a DAP with a wired connection.There are definitely better alternatives for the price - I ended up getting the Cambridge Audio Melomania P100 which is cheaper, better ANC and is better sounding overall with the balanced sound signature.

The media could not be loaded. I've been a fan of Beyerdynamic headphones for years, I've used the 770s, 880s and 990s and the 990s are my go-tos, while both my kids use the 770s and 990s. I bought these for one of them to replace some Bose 700s, expecting these to sound as good as the 770s but with Bluetooth and NC etc. In fact, they sound DREADFUL. Nothing at all like the 770s or 990s. Quite a lot worse than the Bose 700s. It was really surprising and really disappointing tbh, especially finding this out on Christmas Day! Beyerdynamic: sort it out!!
