With a price tag rivaling what most teenagers spend on their first crappy car, Beyerdynamic’s new Xelento remote in-ear headphones deliver a massive listening experience that can turn any light music listener into a full-fledged audiophile.
Made in Germany — land of blonde hair, beer, and robot-like precision — Xelento remote utilizes “miniaturized Tesla technology” to deliver hi-resolution audio to listeners for a truly intoxicating aural experience. The secret to Xelento remote’s unique approach to sound comes courtesy of Oliver Schaal, Beyerdynamic’s Acoustic Engineer.
“In-ears normally have a weakness in the high-frequency range,” starts Schaal, “this gives rise to unpleasant sharpness and distortions. We have addressed this problem in Xelento remote with a specially developed high-frequency resonator, which expands the frequency response upwards and reduces the undesirable peaks at the same time.”
What this means, is that the high-frequency resonator brings a richness to every note while balancing the deep bass to provide a clean, even sound. Adding to it, silver-plated, Kevlar-coated cables keep sound resistance to a minimum, while gold-plated MMCX plugs provide a secure in-ear connection that can withstand the heartiest of headbanging.
Alongside insane audio quality, comfort is second to none. Schaal and his team developed seven different sizes of ergonomic ear tips by analyzing MRI images of human skulls and constructing silicone ear casts. And if that wasn't enough, there's a universal remote control in the detachable cable that makes navigating your music’s volume control, music playback, and calling capabilities a total breeze.
Every one of these hi-fi headphones is handcrafted by the professionals operating out of Heilbronn, Germany, infusing their love of sound into the final product. You can’t put a price tag on that. Well, maybe you can — €999. For readers in Germany, cop yourself a pair on Black Friday via Beyerdynamic’s website and you'll be treated to a free carrying case.
