The Beyerdynamic Byron Series (IFA 2016)

[SpringBiscuit]

I just listed to the latest Plantronic Back beat to go 3, the different is quite huge, going to get the BT once it is available in my region. The bullet design of the housing is small, it doesnt really chuck directly into my small ears. The magnet design is not the latest but handy nevertheless.

That's encouraging... Hopefully local store stock em up early so I can demo them

Beyerdynamic's Byron Series​

A new earphone lineup!​

 ​

​

 ​

An Introduction From The Ground ​

 
While visiting the Beyerdynamic booth earlier today at IFA 2016 to touch base on the DT1990, I was introduced to the Beyerdynamic Byron Series of earphones by Anja @ Beyerdynamic. It's primarily comprised of three new product releases:  The Byron (49 euros), Byron BT (99 Euros) and the Byron BTA (199 Euros).  The Byron BT and BTA are both rated for 7.5 hours of playback, and are equipped appropriately with Qualcomm's AptX codec.  The latter model is also AAC compatible.  Furthermore, the luxury Byron BTA has additional DSP that supposedly offers better sound than the regular Byron BT.
 
I'm currently playing around with Byron BT, and I have to say that I am enjoying it a lot. While certainly not super hi-res, these sound great for the price, and I'll be posting further impressions when I do get the chance.

Beyerdynamic DX120 And 160 without long wires.

Hi All, this is my first post! 
 
I recently purchased the BTA and I like it a lot. 
 
I wanted an opinion on replacement eartips for the Beyerdynamic BTA wireless. I accidentally ripped the small size replacement while trying out the other sizes, and it was after I tried the other sizes I realized the small size worked best for me. 

. 
 
I assumed it would fit the same eartips as the other Beyerdynamic IEMs, and after using Comply's fit guide, I ended up getting small Comply T400s, and small 5mm silicone tips of Amazon. The T400s and the silicone tips were too big.
 
Does anyone have any recommendations on what specific silicone tips would be a good fit?
In reference to the SpinFit, would they be CP-100 or CP-800? 
 
I included a few photos/pictures of the BTA wireless. 
Sorry, it says I do not have the required permissions to post photos with the photo icon.

Thanks everyone, sorry that my first post was too long.

I ordered mine, will receive it next week. If it can at least compare to my ksc75, then I will be happy

i got my BT, so far i'm satisfied with the sound and build quality from the earphone itself, it has strong deep and punchy bass but not boomy, slight recess a little on high, not the tradition bright sound of Beyerdynamic.

Thanks for posting your thoughts.
 
How long is the cable on the USB charging cradle?

 

[CVRLO]

Thanks for posting your thoughts.

How long is the cable on the USB charging cradle?

The cable is around 6 inches. All together it's around 10 inches long. About 2.5 inches for the cradle, 6 inches for the cable, and 1.5 inch for the USB.

Would the BTA be okay under a little sweat?

Hi all. I'm a wireless in ear nut. I have said many times how much the jaybirds stink. So I have nuforce be6. Pretty good. B&o h5- great if you love bright headphones. And then the rbh epsb- unbeaten in detail or sq by any bt in ear. While I know I'm going to have to buy these, I'm really hoping someone could do a comparison as I I don't want to waste money if they just aren't better than the rbh
