Beyerdynamic has revealed its latest true wireless earbuds: the Blue Byrd ANC, a second-generation follow-up to the Free Byrd true wireless earbuds, which we reviewed last year. These add active noise cancellation (ANC), more sound personalization, and “optimal comfort.”
Beyerdynamic touts the flexibility of these earbuds because they boast a neckband design, making it easy to pick up a phone call, listen to tunes, go for a run, and more, without having to remove them entirely and place them back in a case.
The Blue Byrds boast up to 14 hours of battery life, fast Bluetooth pairing, and ANC with a transparency mode. Push a button to block out unwanted noise from streets, commutes, or coffee shops. The ergonomically flat shape of the earbuds, combined with ear tips in various sizes, allows for long-lasting wearing comfort on-the-go or at home.
Qualcomm aptX Adaptive, AAC, and Qualcomm cVc ensure precise audio playback and speech reproduction, says beyerdynamic. You’ll get the latest connectivity via Bluetooth 5.2, MFi certification, Amazon’s Alexa built-in, Google Fast Pair, and Siri.
In the MIY app, Blue Byrd ANC includes extra features like the new Bluetooth over-the-air update and built-in Amazon Alexa voice assistant. With a simple hearing test directly in the MIY app, you can customize your Blue Byrd ANC to suit your listening needs.
Blue ByrdANC includes five pairs of ear tips, a carry case for traveling, a USB cable, and a Quick Start Guide. It’s also IPX4 certified and splash resistant.
The beyerdynamic Blue Byrd ANC is now available for US$149.
