Beyerdynamic is swinging for the fences with the AMIRON 300 wireless earbuds, with a premium price tag that matches up with established players in the market. Apple is at the top of that list of established players, and the AirPods Pro 2 are one of the most popular earbud models in the world. So if you are looking for the best premium earbud experience, should you go with Beyerdynamic or Apple? After testing both, I can tell you this isn’t as close a contest as their prices suggest.

No, the answer is not that I have an Android phone, which I’m sure you’ve heard from countless others.

Ever wondered why you can’t remember the name of Sony’s flagship headphones, or why it seems like you have déjà vu when the latest Bose earbuds come out?

From the Sony WH-InsertSerialNumberHere headphones to the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (again), even the biggest brands in the industry aren’t immune to terrible product naming.
