Beyerdynamic Amiron 200 black
Specifications and features
Overview
Beyerdynamic Amiron 200 mark the German manufacturer’s entry into the open-design earbud segment, a category of devices that lets ambient sounds through while playing music. Featuring ergonomic ear hooks, they provide a stable fit during movement and workouts. With IP54 certification against dust and splashes, they can withstand outdoor conditions, while total battery life reaches 36 hours thanks to the charging case.
The Amiron family expands with an open-back option
The Amiron series brings Beyerdynamic’s expertise to lightweight, portable formats. It includes several models for distinct uses: Amiron Home, an open-back over-ear wired headphone for high-end home listening; Amiron Wireless, the Bluetooth version of that model; Amiron 100, closed in-ear earbuds with active noise cancellation; and more recently Amiron Zero, ultra-light clip-on earbuds for urban listening.
The Amiron 200 is not the direct successor to the Verio 200, but an independent extension of the Amiron range. Announced at IFA 2025 in Berlin, its arrival rounds out the lineup with an open design geared toward sports and endurance. Where the Amiron 100 isolates the listener for focused listening, the Amiron 200 maintains awareness of the surrounding soundscape.
A design that prioritizes environmental awareness
The Amiron 200 rest on the ear without entering the ear canal. This open configuration allows air and external sounds to circulate, avoiding any sense of occlusion. For urban runners, this design enhances safety by enabling you to hear traffic, pedestrians, and audible alerts.
The ear hooks ensure a secure fit during movement, even intense activity. Weighing 10.2 grams per earbud, they’re easy to forget during long outings. The charging case, slightly heavier at 76 grams, comes in a compact format for transport.
The open design changes spatial perception of sound: the soundstage widens, reminiscent of an open-back headphone rather than traditional closed earbuds. Frequencies unfold with more space, the treble breathes more, and the mids gain natural clarity.
Balanced sound reproduction across the spectrum
Beyerdynamic developed specific dynamic drivers for these earbuds. Frequency response ranges from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, covering the full audible spectrum. The sound features rich bass, mids that highlight vocals and melodies, and precise treble.
Despite the open design, which typically favors higher frequencies, the lows maintain a strong presence, with detailed texture and impact that supports the music. The mids stand out by bringing vocal and instrumental details to the fore. The highs remain clear without harshness, preserving listening comfort during extended sessions.
Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity supports SBC and AAC codecs. Multipoint allows simultaneous connection to two devices, making it easy to switch between smartphone and computer. Range reaches 15 meters in unobstructed conditions.
Controls and customization via the app
Touch surfaces on the earbuds respond to taps to control playback, adjust volume, manage calls, or activate the voice assistant. The beyerdynamic app offers an equalizer to personalize the sound signature and lets you reconfigure touch controls to taste.
The system includes two microphones dedicated to phone calls and two more for ENC environmental noise reduction. This setup filters background noise during conversations, improving voice intelligibility even in noisy environments.
The app also provides access to software updates that can bring new features or stability improvements over time.
Battery life designed for intensive use
The earbuds deliver up to 11 hours of listening on a single charge, while the case adds 25 additional hours for a total of 36 hours. This capacity covers several days of daily use or repeated training sessions without frequent recharging.
Fast charging provides 90 minutes of listening after just 5 minutes of charge. A full recharge takes less than two hours via the USB-C port or wirelessly via Qi induction. This dual option simplifies charging: cable for speed, Qi pad for convenience.
Durability suited to outdoor conditions
IP54 certification protects against dust and water splashes, making the earbuds robust enough for outings in variable weather or intensive sessions. This protection covers sweat, light rain, and dust kicked up on trail runs.
The chosen materials tolerate operating temperature variations between 0 °C and +45 °C, allowing use in most temperate and warm climates. For charging, the temperature range remains the same, preventing malfunctions related to cold or excessive heat.
Three finishes to choose from
The Amiron 200 come in three colors: black, white, and a Sport version. Each finish retains the same technical features and weight. The choice comes down to personal aesthetics and the level of discretion desired.
The earbuds can be worn with glasses, light hats, or earrings, provided these accessories do not interfere with the ear hook. The hook placement is compatible with most standard eyeglass frames.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who are the Amiron 200 designed for?
These earbuds are suitable for runners, cyclists, and active users who want to listen to music while staying alert to their surroundings. They also meet the needs of public transport users or workers who must remain aware of nearby sounds.
What’s the difference compared to a standard in-ear earbud?
Open earbuds rest on the ear without blocking the ear canal. This configuration lets external noise pass through, unlike closed in-ears that isolate the listener. The listening experience is closer to an open-back headphone, with a wider soundstage.
Are the Amiron 200 suitable for intensive sports?
Yes, the ear hooks keep the earbuds in place even during vigorous movement, and IP54 certification protects them from sweat and splashes. Their light weight contributes to comfort during prolonged training.
How do they fit into the Amiron lineup?
The Amiron 200 complement the Amiron 100 (closed in-ear with ANC) and the Amiron Zero (ultra-light clip-on earbuds). Each model serves a distinct use case: the 100 for noise isolation, the Zero for maximum lightness, and the 200 for sports activity with environmental awareness.
