High-end features
The universal remote control in the cable gives the Xelento remote the second part of its name. It controls the volume and music playback of the player by means of the 3.5 mm jack connector and allows calls to be made and received on the smartphone at the press of a button. The integrated microphone transforms the headphones into an audiophile headset. And for those who don’t require a microphone and prefer to control playback on the player, a pure audio cable can be used instead. The cables are detachable, which means they can be replaced quickly.

Silver-plated cables provide as little resistance as possible to the sound flowing through their cores. They are coated with Kevlar and tested in 40,000 bending cycles. Gold-plated MMCX plugs ensure good contact and fast and easy replacement. The headphones can thus withstand years of outdoor use under the harshest conditions. And the in-ear housing itself is just as robust. Its three-layer metallising not only looks stylish but also makes the surface insensitive to abrasion, solvents, and perspiration. A watertight diaphragm over the bass reflex openings protects the interior from getting wet.

High-end wearing comfort
beyerdynamic has expended more energy into perfecting the fit of the headphones than ever before. Countless silicone casts were made, heads measured and computer data evaluated so that the Xelento remote nestles perfectly into the wearer’s ear. This has resulted in anatomically shaped eartips in no less than seven sizes – from XS to 3XL. No other manufacturer offers so much customising. Thanks to their oval cut, they fit like a glove in the auditory canal – without the usual sensation of pressure that comes from wearing in-ears. The popular Comply™ moulded foam eartips are also available in three sizes for fans of classic attachments.

Passion "Made in Germany"
Everything is packaged in an exclusive presentation case with magnetic fastener. The case also includes the high-quality carry case for transport, reminding buyers with every opening that they are holding a very special piece of headphones technology in their hands. This is because the Xelento remote (EUR 999) is crafted by hand at company headquarters in Heilbronn, Germany, just like all the Tesla models. Skilled professionals wind the tiny voice coils, rotate drive parts and assemble the components under a microscope with the precision of a watchmaker – with a passion that is clearly palpable with the finished product

No need it will slowly drift away, BTW there is two version, Xelento remote and Xelento wired, for those who doesn't want the remote version can consider this, and it's cheaper.
