Look & Feel
I’m reviewing the cream variation of the AMIRON 300, which I find to be the most aesthetically satisfying compared to the black version. With that said, the AMIRON 300 has a great design that has a good size and an ergonomic shape. They have no problem sitting in my ear without any notable fatigue, and I’m particularly a fan of the small ridge that makes the touch sensor easier to access. It’s a practical earphone that is as stylish as it is comfortable, which is what any pair of true wireless should be.
Design & Functionality
The AMIRON 300 has customizable controls through Beyerdynamic’s smartphone app. I mentioned how smooth the touch surface feels to interact with, so having this level of customization gives you a lot more control over how you interact with the earbuds. Of course, it’s worth having responsive actions, and thankfully the AMIRON 300 has no issue with that. The earbuds have simple feedback and are rarely finicky. You can easily cycle through playback options and different modes with ease, with a responsive wear sensor leaving you with more options. One of the features you can switch through is noise-canceling, which is very good on the AMIRON 300. Most obstructive sounds are muted, if not completely eliminated, and while listening to music you feel totally isolated.
Bluetooth
The AMIRON 300 supports Bluetooth version 5.3 with fast pairing and a multipoint connection. If you use an Android phone, you can use LDAC as the superior audio streaming CODEC, otherwise, iPhone users get AAC.
Battery Life
10 hours of playtime and 7 hours with ANC on is about average for the price point. With the charging case, you can get around 28 hours with quick charging. While it’s not the best on the market, It shouldn’t be much of a bother.
Soundstage
For a pair of true wireless earbuds in this price range, the AMIRON 300 has an acceptable soundstage. Nothing about its spatial imaging and separation ever impressed me, but I was still happy with its basic ability. It conveys a standard width while offering standard stereo accuracy and positioning for wireless buds. I think the soundstage provides enough organization to keep many sound elements from congealing in the middle, but the presentation of those sounds is narrow. This is a very linear soundstage, which isn’t much of a problem, but it makes the earbuds harder to compete with the heavier hitters.
Low End
While you can mess around with the bass in EQ, the low frequencies will have a similar character no matter what you do. It certainly has a presence, but the tone is not very rich or rumbly. You’ll feel a smooth line drawn through the mid-bass and sub-bass, and while there’s a solid foundation here, everything feels laid back. The bass preset doesn’t help here, making everything feel muted. This makes the standard, no EQ sound the most ideal bass form for me. It’s soft, but the texture is good for pop and electronic tracks.
Mids
The level of midrange clarity on the AMIRON 300 took me by surprise. There’s some good detail to it that gets pushed forward in the sound signature, highlighting individual notes and vocal performances. It’s the closest to Beyerdynamic’s studio quality that the AMIRON 300 gets, giving room to instruments and putting them all on an even level. Nothing ever feels relegated to the background, showcasing solid layering that ensures specificity in the mix. Even to the fundamental frequency, the mids appear full and concise.
Highs
The highs have a nice click to them, but the overall presence of the treble is relaxed like the bass. It gives female vocals good height and even some solid edge, but their ability is definitely limited. There’s a barrier that never prevents the highs from becoming too crisp, but it results in the frequencies feeling a bit thin. On the flip side, you won’t experience any brightness or piercing frequencies, and overall the highs come off very smoothly.
Summary
The Beyerdynamic AMIRON 300 stands out with its polished design, reliable touch controls, and midrange clarity that delivers a hint of studio-quality sound. While the soundstage and bass performance may leave room for improvement compared to competitors at this price point, its comfort, effective ANC, and user-friendly features make it a strong contender for those seeking stylish and functional true wireless earbuds. If balanced mids and smooth treble are priorities in your audio preferences, the AMIRON 300 could be a worthy addition to your collection. For audiophiles and casual listeners alike, it proves to be a versatile option in the ever-competitive world of wireless earbuds.
