Tom’s Guide Verdict
The Aventho 300 are a very solid pair of headphones.
The sound is solid, the build is excellent, and the battery life is epic.
They’re built to go up against theSonyWH-1000XM5 and theBoseQuietComfort Ultra headphones.
They manage to do that, too, with some great headline features and a very attractive style.
Theyre built better than the competition as well.
But does that make them good enough to join the ranks of thebest wireless headphones?
The Beyerdynamic do have some other points going for them though.
They have some truly epic battery life with a rated 50 hours of staying power with ANC active.
Getting hold of them is no problem of course.
Weve got the Black pair in for testing.
The earcups are big and, while plastic, look like theyre made of something more expensive.
The fake leather of the headband has a nice grain to it and it’s supple and soft.
This is an understated classy design and even better, theyre built incredibly well.
The aforementioned metal in the hinges is screwed together, and feels solid in the hand.
The ratcheting headband mechanism is tight and clicky, and inspires confidence in the longevity of the headphones.
The whole headset isnt heavy, but theres still some heft here that makes them feel well built.
Unfortunately, that build lends itself to a relatively tight fit that becomes uncomfortable after a little while.
It does mean that they dont fall off your head when headbanging though, which is a bonus.
Bringing them back up to snuff though is the excellent carry case that comes in the box.
Its got an attractive teardrop shape as well, so I think it looks pretty good.
They whole affairdoesfit but it is tight.
Its a shame, because its a nice addition.
Having said that, the touch controls on the Aventho 300 are well implemented and work well.
Theyre all stuck on the right earcup, and theyre easy enough to use.
Swipe up for more volume, swipe down for less.
Swipe forward to skip a track, and backward for the previous.
Tap for pause, tap again for pause.
There are a couple of different physical controls on the right earcup the power/Bluetoothpairing button and the ANC key.
While fairly small, they are different shapes so its super easy to work out which is which.
It does raise an issue though.
Its… not amazing.
They end up sounding thin, one-dimensional, and all the impact of the track is lost.
As a result, I mostly left theDolby Atmosfeature turned off for most of my testing.
Thankfully, the EQ customization is among some of the very best in a pair of flagship headphones.
Its agoodapp, and Im impressed with Beyerdynamic’s implementation.
The issue is that the music is changed too much by the ANC.
It has a habit of bass-boosting your music, while thinning out the mid-range.
Finally, theres the USB-C port, which does charging duties.
Its easy to get working.
Connect the headphones to the first equipment, then put them back into pairing mode and connect the second.
Theyll switch automatically for you from there.
Theres side tone as well, which can be turned off.
Beyerdynamic Aventho 300 review: Sound Quality
Overall, the Aventho 300 sound very good.
Hunter from Bjork shows off the Aventho’s soundstage.
Those bizarre synth bass lines dance from ear to ear, wide and spacious.
The guitars sound great, with plenty of detail.
The soundstage is fairly wide, though, which does make tracks feel immersive.
The Synth is smooth, and the lo-fi vocals have some wonderful crackle.
There’s a little bit missing from the hi-hats, but it’s otherwise a great listen.
Hunterfrom Bjork shows off the Aventho’s soundstage.
Those bizarre synth bass lines dance from ear to ear, wide and spacious.
Bjork’s vocals are crystal clear when she wants them to be and unnerving in all the right spots.
The string section brings some detail to the party, while the drums tap in the right earcup.
Theyre only beaten by theSennheiserMomentum 4 and the Marshall Monitor III.
