Coming to the cable, beyerdynamic has opted for a relatively thicker cable design for an unknown reason. The cable doesn’t get tangled easily, possibly due to the thick and stiff cable. Overall, there are no complaints in terms of design and build.
beyerdynamic Beat BYRD: Audio Quality
Despite its lightweight design, the Beat BYRD doesn’t compromise on the performance part. It is not the loudest one in the category but handles the sound output to a decent level. Talking about soundstage, the mids and lows are clear, but the highs are a bit muddy.
Coming to the bass, the Beat BYRD produces a fair amount of details which is good enough for you to pick out the finer details. However, at high volume levels, there is a slightly noticeable distortion, but that is compensated with the vocals that come to life across volume levels, making them great for listening to acapella music.
Mind you, there is no control pod attached to this earphone, as no microphone or buttons to switch the music forward or backward. This earphone is purely for music listening and for that, the audio output of this earphone is above average, ideal for listening to a wide range of genres.

CONS

Verdict
This earphone was tested over a period of two weeks, so the conclusion is clearly appropriate. The build and the sound quality of the beyerdynamic Beat BYRD earphone are really good but are slightly on the pricier side viz Rs 1,999. The stand-out USP is the design and good audio output in a decent form factor.
No denying, there are a ton of earphone from top brands that offers almost the same audio quality and comes with features like an in-line microphone for a lot less. However, if you want a great pair of earphones that offers above-average audio quality and great comfortability, you won’t go wrong with this one.
