Known for delivering everything from studio staples to gaming gear and lifestyle audio, the brand’s presence this year is bolstered by two standout additions designed to span the spectrum—from daily commutes to critical listening sessions.
Making its first public appearance is the AVENTHO 100, beyerdynamic’s latest wireless on-ear model. As we reported here, it brings together vintage-inspired design with modern functionality. Priced at $349, the Aventho 100 packs in active noise cancellation, up to 60 hours of battery life (or 40 with ANC), and Qualcomm cVc™ tech for clearer calls. Add a foldable chassis and premium materials, and you’ve got a set of on-ears that’s as travel-friendly as it is sonically capable.
Also debuting is the DT 990 PRO X, a forward-thinking evolution of one of the brand’s most iconic studio headphones. The original DT 990 PRO has long been a go-to for engineers and producers. The PRO X refresh keeps the familiar open-back soundstage but upgrades the internal engine, swapping in the new STELLAR.45 driver for improved resolution and broader compatibility. With a 5–40,000Hz frequency response and 48-ohm impedance, it’s just as at home on an audio interface as it is on a laptop. We first covered its release here, and beyerdynamic’s own deep dive on the STELLAR.45 driver reveals just how much engineering went into the upgrade.
While it’s still aimed squarely at studio work and critical listening, the DT 990 PRO X is also earning serious respect among gamers—thanks to its airy, detailed sound and uncanny ability to pinpoint audio cues in first-person shooters. If sound localisation is your edge, this is a headphone that could give you the upper hand.
It all ties into the broader evolution of the show itself. The StereoNET Hi-Fi & AV Show has grown into Australasia’s premier home entertainment expo—and the 2025 edition turns things up another notch. Alongside high-end Hi-Fi and cinematic showstoppers, this year’s expanded format features an even greater focus on gaming, smart home tech, and connected lifestyle gear. So whether you’re chasing studio-ready resolution, premium portable sound, or the ultimate headset for your next competitive session, beyerdynamic’s stand at C4 should be firmly on your radar.
The StereoNET Hi-Fi & AV Show takes place August 29-31 at the Pullman Melbourne Albert Park. Full show details and tickets are available via the link below.
