Let’s take a closer look at each model.
AVENTHO Y: Built for Long Listening Sessions
If you listen to music, podcasts or audiobooks every day and don’t want to worry about battery life, the AVENTHO Y stands out immediately. With more than 90 hours of battery life without ANC and over 60 hours with ANC enabled, it offers the longest rated battery life in the AVENTHO family. And when time is short, just five minutes of charging provides up to six hours of playback.
This foldable over-ear headphone features a dynamic 45 mm driver and supports Bluetooth® 6.0 as well as multipoint connectivity. That means you can stay connected to your laptop and smartphone simultaneously and switch seamlessly between calls and music. Sound settings can be customised via the beyerdynamic app.
Long-term usability is another key focus. Both the battery and magnetic ear pads can be replaced.
The AVENTHO Y also makes a statement visually. It’s available in four colour options: Liquid Black, Blue Fusion, Soft Jade and Peach Blush. Music is personal, and choosing the right headphone often is too.

AVENTHO 100: Compact Sound with Style
The AVENTHO 100 is the only on-ear model in this comparison. Its ear pads rest directly on the ears, while the AVENTHO Y, AVENTHO 200 and AVENTHO 300 surround them completely. This makes the AVENTHO 100 particularly appealing if you prefer a more compact form factor.
At just 220 grams, it’s also the lightest model in the range. Its foldable design makes it easy to pack for travel, while replaceable ear pads support long-term use. The Red Dot Award-winning design is available in three colour options and combines premium materials with timeless styling.
Despite its compact size, it doesn’t compromise on modern features. Active Noise Cancelling reduces distracting background noise, while Transparency Mode lets you stay aware of your surroundings when needed. Google Fast Pair makes connecting compatible devices quick and easy, and multipoint functionality allows simultaneous connections to your laptop and smartphone.
The AVENTHO 100 is equally impressive when it comes to battery life, delivering up to 60 hours without ANC and up to 40 hours with ANC. A quick 15-minute charge provides up to 15 additional hours of listening time. The beyerdynamic app allows you to adjust ANC settings and install firmware updates.

AVENTHO 300: Studio Sound Meets 3D Audio
If you’re looking for the most immersive experience for music, films and series, the AVENTHO 300 offers the most advanced audio package in this comparison.
Its STELLAR.45 drivers, made in Germany, are also used in our studio headphones. The slightly angled driver positioning helps create a more spacious soundstage, while aptX™ Lossless and aptX™ Adaptive enable high-quality wireless audio transmission.
The standout feature is its 3D audio capability. Dolby Atmos® with Dolby Head Tracking™ places instruments and voices in a three-dimensional space and adjusts the sound image as you move your head. This makes the AVENTHO 300 particularly compelling for music, movies and other content where immersive sound matters.
Adaptive ANC reduces unwanted background noise, while Transparency Mode lets you hear your surroundings without removing the headphones. Multipoint Bluetooth® 5.4 and automatic play/pause functionality further enhance convenience.
Even with ANC enabled, battery life reaches up to 50 hours. A quick ten-minute charge provides up to five hours of playback. For travel, the headphones fold away neatly into the included hard case.
The beyerdynamic app also offers a 5-band equaliser, genre-specific sound presets and software updates.
AVENTHO 300 at a glance:
- STELLAR.45-Treiber Made in Germany für detailreichen Klang
- Dolby Atmos® mit Dolby Head Tracking™ für räumliches Audio
