Our Verdict
The Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless are alright for mixed usage. They don't have active noise cancelling or any features for gamers, but they're decent for casual listening. The way they fit tends to leave significant gaps around your ears, which affects how well they isolate noise. Two people might also find they have different sound profiles. That said, they're well-built, have a great battery life, and are still okay for most uses.
- Durable yet premium high-end design.
- Excellent 30-hour battery life.
- AptX HD and aptX-LL support.
- Bass delivery varies significantly across different users.
- Slightly awkward fit that tends to create gaps around the ears.
- Companion app lacks customizable EQ.
The Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless are decent for neutral listening. While they have a fairly well-balanced sound overall, they reproduce audio very inconsistently across different people - so you might hear a different sound profile than what we measured. Their companion app has a sound personalization feature that creates a custom sound profile based on the results of a 6-minute listening test, but we don't know how well it performs and there are no other EQ options.
The Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless are acceptable for commute and travel, but they're not ideal. Although they have a closed-back design, they don't isolate noise very well and will let in all the low thumps and rumbles of bus or plane engines. They also have a rather bulky design that doesn't fold into a more compact format, so they'll take up a lot of space in your bag or luggage, even in their carrying case. On the upside, their excellent 30-hour battery life will make it through even the longest international flight.
The Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless could be okay for sports or fitness. While their wireless design ensures there won't be any cables to get in your way, they're not very portable due to their bulky design. They also have an unstable fit which makes them prone to falling off your head while running or working out.
The Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless are okay for office use. They don't isolate much noise and do leak a bit of sound, but it's not too bad overall - they should still help block out a bit of office chatter without being too disruptive to your colleagues. While their fit can feel a bit odd at first, they're still quite comfortable, and their long battery life will help you get through your workday uninterrupted.
The Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless aren't recommended for wireless gaming. Since they use Bluetooth, they aren't wirelessly compatible with the Xbox One or the PS4. You could achieve low enough latency for PC gaming with aptX-LL enabled, but you would need to purchase a specific Bluetooth adapter for this purpose.
The Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless are decent for wired gaming. They come with an audio cable that has an in-line mic so you can plug them into your desktop computer and enjoy both audio and chat support virtually lag-free. They'll also work with your Xbox One or PS4 controller, but don't have any other gaming-specific features.
The Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless are disappointing for phone calls. While their microphone recording quality is decent in quiet environments, like in an empty meeting room or silent hallway, you'll be a lot harder to understand as soon as you get in a noisier environment. That said, they do come with an 1/8" TRRS audio cable that has an in-line microphone which could help a bit since you change how it's positioned near your mouth.

Popular Headphones Comparisons
The Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless are premium over-ear closed-back Bluetooth headphones. They have a very sleek, stylish design and feel remarkably well-built. Unfortunately, they don't fit as well as competing models, which affects their noise isolation and audio reproduction. While closed-back headphones without noise cancelling, like the Audio Technica ATH-DSR9BT Wireless, tend to sound a bit different to different people in general, the Amiron perform more inconsistently than most. That said, they have the most Bluetooth codec options of nearly all headphones we've reviewed, which helps set them apart from the competition. See also our recommendations for the best Bluetooth headphones, the best closed-back headphones, and the best audiophile headphones.
If you prefer wired headphones, the Focal Elegia are a better option for neutral listening than the Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless. While the Bluetooth Amiron provide the freedom of a wireless connection, they're less comfortable and their sound profile can vary quite a bit between individuals. While not everyone will prefer the Focal warmer sound profile, they reproduce audio more consistently than the Beyerdynamic, which can sound very different from one person to the next.
The Beyerdynamic DT 1770 PRO are better headphones for neutral listening than the Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless if you don't mind a wired design. The DT 1770 have a better range of motion in the ear cups which helps them fit more securely than the Amiron. While both headphones reproduce audio rather inconsistently across different users, the more stable fit of the DT 1770 helps them sound slightly more consistent. Their wired design is less convenient, though, and they don't come with an in-line microphone.
The Audio-Technica ATH-M50xBT are better wireless headphones for neutral listening than the Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless. The Beyerdynamic have more Bluetooth codec options, like aptx HD and aptX-LL support, and a slightly more fully-featured app, but their fit is a bit strange. The Audio-Technica might sound a bit too punchy for some people, but at least their sound profile is generally well-defined, unlike with the Beyerdynamic which can sound significantly different depending on who's wearing them.
The Audio-Technica ATH-DSR9BT Wireless and the Beyerdynamic Amiron Wireless are closed-back Bluetooth headphones designed with audiophiles in mind. The Beyerdynamic have a better battery life, more Bluetooth codec options, including the lower-latency aptX-LL and a companion app. However, they fit rather awkwardly and reproduce audio even less consistently than the Audio-Technica across different users.
