Beyerdynamic Aventho 300

Verdict

The Beyerdynamic Aventho 300 deliver premium build quality, excellent battery life and a warm, engaging sound that can be fine-tuned with a powerful app and EQ. Active noise canceling is effective but colors the sound more than top rivals, the clamp is tight and Spatial Audio disappoints, yet for listeners who value durability, customization and long runtimes over maximum comfort and ANC perfection, they are a very strong alternative to Sony and Bose flagships.

Pros

  • Battery 1 review 5.0
    Battery life is consistently described as excellent, with real world use often matching or exceeding the 50 hour ANC on and 70 hour ANC off ratings and comfortably outlasting many flagship competitors.
  • Equalizer customization 1 review 5.0
    EQ controls are considered among the best in this class, with a flexible multiband equalizer and extra custom modes that let users meaningfully reshape the sound to their tastes.
  • Bass performance 3 reviews 4.8
    Listeners highlight strong low end presence and extension, with powerful, thick yet controlled bass lines that add warmth and impact to rock and electronic tracks without completely overwhelming midrange detail.
  • Sound quality 3 reviews 4.8
    Reviews describe an engaging, slightly bass forward tuning with rich mids and lively but gently rolled off treble, delivering an immersive, wide presentation that many listeners find as enjoyable as flagship rivals from Sony and Bose.
  • Software/setup simplicity 2 reviews 4.8
    Setup and everyday use are straightforward, with quick Bluetooth 5.4 pairing, reliable connections to phone and app and most playback and mode changes handled directly from the headphones once configured.
  • Build quality 3 reviews 4.7
    Multiple reviews call the Aventho 300 a premium feeling, travel ready headphone, emphasizing solid metal hinges, a firm ratcheting headband and materials that feel durable and confidence inspiring for frequent use.
  • App 3 reviews 4.5
    The companion app is praised as clean, smooth and intuitive, with battery status front and center, quick access to ANC and features, and powerful EQ tools that feel simpler to live with than many rival apps.
  • Carry case quality 3 reviews 4.5
    The sturdy, teardrop shaped carry case feels protective and upscale, neatly housing the headphones for daily carry and travel, though fitting them inside with the included dustbag can feel a bit tight.
  • Soundstage width 2 reviews 4.5
    Soundstage is noted as fairly wide for a closed back wireless design, with instruments dancing from ear to ear and imaging that wraps around the listener to create an immersive, out of head presentation.
  • Microphone quality for calls 1 review 4.5
    Call performance is strong for everyday use, with clear sound in the headphones and callers reporting that voices come through clean and intelligible even when walking outside.
  • Multipoint connectivity reliability 1 review 4.5
    Multipoint connectivity works well, allowing simultaneous connections to devices like a phone and computer and automatically switching audio between them once the second connection is set up.
  • Noise isolation (passive) 1 review 4.5
  • Portability/foldability 1 review 4.5
  • Price value 3 reviews 4.3
    Priced around 399 dollars, the Aventho 300 trade absolute class leading ANC for standout build quality, battery life, EQ flexibility and app polish, making them a worthwhile alternative to Sony and Bose for listeners who prioritize durability and tuning control.
  • Active noise cancellation effectiveness 2 reviews 4.3
    Active noise cancellation effectively cuts down engine and street noise for commuting and travel, but more than some rivals it also alters the sound by boosting bass and thinning mids when engaged.
  • Design and Aesthetics 2 reviews 4.3
    Design moves away from classic circular Beyerdynamic cups toward a more ergonomic, ear shaped over ear look that most find attractive, combining understated, classy styling and metal accents that make the headphones look more premium than many plastic rivals.
  • Touch control responsiveness 2 reviews 4.3
    Touch controls on the right earcup respond reliably for volume, track changes and pause and are easy to learn, but they can occasionally be triggered accidentally when adjusting or removing the headphones or when reaching for nearby buttons.
  • Midrange clarity 3 reviews 4.2
    Mids are generally full bodied and clear, giving vocals and guitars a warm, front of stage presence, though some recordings can make instruments sound a touch synthetic rather than perfectly natural.
  • Treble clarity 3 reviews 4.0
    Treble is clear and non fatiguing but slightly rolled off, softening cymbal sparkle and sometimes losing a bit of top end detail while still keeping highs airy enough to balance the heavy bass.
  • Button control usability 1 review 4.0
    Small physical buttons for power and ANC are shaped differently so they are easy to identify by touch, yet their placement near the touch pad can occasionally lead to unintended swipe gestures when toggling modes.
  • Instrument separation 1 review 4.0
    Instrument separation is considered good, with plenty of space in the mix so guitars, strings and other parts remain distinct and engaging even on dense, energetic tracks.
  • Noise cancellation adjustability 1 review 4.0
  • Sidetone adjustment quality 1 review 3.5
    Sidetone can feed a bit of your own voice back into the cups to avoid the closed off feeling, and while not everyone enjoys the effect, the implementation is competent and can be disabled if unwanted.

Cons

  • Clamping force comfort 2 reviews 2.5
    Clamping force is on the tighter side, which helps the headphones stay securely in place even during vigorous movement, but the strong grip can press on the sides of the head and become uncomfortable over longer listening sessions.
  • Spatial audio 1 review 2.0
    Spatial audio and head tracking are available but often make unsupported tracks sound thin and disjointed, so many listeners end up leaving the feature turned off most of the time.
