beyerdynamic Releases 2nd-gen Xelento remote and wireless In-ear Headphones

Uniting the traditional manufacturer's world-renowned expertise, highest acoustic requirements, and genuine craftsmanship, the company says they offer an "incomparable sound experience and noble design".

Handcrafted at the company's headquarters in Heilbronn, Germany, the first-class high-resolution sound experience is thanks to beyerdynamic's own Tesla technology in its smallest form factor to date. The TESLA.11 driver "ensures an exceptional level of detail, unparalleled spatiality, and depth of sound that will delight music lovers", it says.

The eleven-millimetre, dynamic, one-way driver combines beyerdynamic's acoustic expertise, engineering, and craftsmanship into a brilliant technical masterpiece. The audio experts from Heilbronn say they have "succeeded in integrating the highest performance and sound quality into a graceful in-ear design. A special new acoustic filter provides even more fine detail and lightness in the high-frequency range. Paired with perfectly matched mids, highs and bass, the sound quality is raised to a new level."

XELENTO remote features a symmetric 4.4 mm Pentaconn cable that directly connects high-quality hi-fi components with balanced outputs. This makes XELENTO remote ideal for enjoying music on Digital Audio Players and balanced hi-fi systems.

XELENTO wireless has a high-quality Bluetooth 5.2 neckband that guarantees up to 14 hours of music entertainment. Thanks to the additional Enhancement Mode, nothing stands in the way of wireless hi-fi enjoyment. This is made possible by an added digital-to-analogue converter and amplifier from specialist AKM. Last but not least, the latest codecs such as LHDC, Qualcomm® aptX™ HD and aptX™ Adaptive ensure that high-resolution audio quality is also possible wirelessly – whether on Android, iOS, Windows, or Mac.

The wireless version also features the proprietary MIY app with MOSAYC – Attention to Detail with Mimi Sound Personalisation enables sound personalisation and further customisation for individual preferences. Over-the-air updates keep the headphones always up to date with the latest technology.

Both headphones are flexibly adaptable to users' own needs due to an MMCX plug-in system. XELENTO remote also transforms easily into the wireless version with the separately available wireless neckband. In turn, the Pentaconn cable is also additionally available to connect XELENTO wireless by cable to high-quality hi-fi systems.

Both variants of the new XELENTO come with a 3.5 mm jack cable with remote control and hands-free microphone. This allows users to engage in calls or video conferences or to use voice assistants flexibly via smartphone and laptop while on the go.

beyerdynamic says it focused on craftsmanship with its new release. The front of the housing is decorated with real gold – handmade from 24-carat gold and applied in a high-precision technical process.

The included seven pairs of silicone ear tips are newly developed by beyerdynamic to allow for a perfectly matched individual fit with the highest acoustic performance. There is also a set of Comply Memory Foam ear tips in three sizes for high sound isolation. In addition, the cable routing behind the ear ensures the best wearing comfort.

Both the Xelento Remote (€999) and the Xelento Wireless (€1,199) are available now.
