The Beyerdynamic Byron BT came in a standard printed box with photos of the product, and its specs. Opening the box revealed a clear plastic molded box holding the IEM securely in place. Also included were the owner’s manual, additional ear tips in different sizes, and a small soft carrying case, and a charging cable. The cable is made of soft plastic, and the IEM's appear to be made of aluminum. Quality of materials used is good as is the fit and finish. They appear to be a well made product.  Now let's see how they sound.

No Doubt: Hella Good, the kickdrum had really good impact that was tight and had good authority. The cymbals were crisp, clean and very dynamic. Vocals were very natural with good texture. There was a lot of energy in the track, and it came out very well.  Foreigner: Jukebox Hero, had kickdrum beats that played deep with good impact and authority. Vocals were smooth and very natural with good timbre. The guitar sounded nice and raw.  Kansas: Carry On Wayward Son, vocals were really natural and smooth sounding, with much better than expected texture and resolution. I could hear their breathing technique, as well as room acoustics. Kickdrum had very good impact and depth. Drums and cymbals were very crisp and dynamic. They also threw a wide soundstage with better than expected imaging for their price point.

The Beyerdynamic Byron BT wireless IEM have a low MSRP of only $100. Yet they still proved to be a great performer. If you are looking for a gift on a fairly low budget, these could be for you. Based on their design, features, quality, and performance, the Beyerdynamic Byron BT has earned our Value Award. For more info and complete specs, check out their website at www.beyerdynamics.com.
