FREE BYRD

Let the moving Free BYRD sound accompany you through your daily life and enjoy top-level, uninterrupted listening thanks to Active Noise Cancelling (ANC). These wireless in-ear headphones not only guarantee a special sound experience with extra-long battery life, they also provide you with full freedom of movement. 

MOVING SOUND EXPERIENCE

Whether you are gaming, listening to music or watching a series: this sound will move you.

Beyerdynamic’s distinctive sound is renowned amongst creators all over the world. The Free BYRD combines this sound with ANC for a completely undisturbed listening experience. Powerful drivers and state-of-the-art codecs such as aptX™ Adaptive and AAC provide perfect sound. 

On top of that, clever technologies such as Qualcomm® dual 2-mic cVc™ give the Free BYRD first-class speech intelligibility. This means you can be understood perfectly on a call, no matter where you are, no matter whether mono or stereo.  

ANC & ​​​​TRANSPARENCY MODE

An oasis of tranquillity meets wonderful sound: thanks to digital active noise cancelling with hybrid technology, you can enjoy the Free BYRD’s sound without interference from ambient noise – with consistently high sound quality. If you’re out and about or in the office and you have to listen to something important, ambient noise can be easily blended in using the Transparency Mode. 

MOVING SOUND KNOWS NO BOUNDS
