Dynamic, Distraction-free Earbuds

With high-class noise cancellation and transparency technology, Beyerdynamic’s Free Byrd earbuds will allow you to tune in and out of your surroundings, listening to the world around you when you need to and blocking out the elements when you don’t. Paired with noise-free listening is Beyerdynamic’s 3-driver earbud system, projecting a clear-cut sound with amazing mobility. Sweetwater sound professionals know all too well that Bluetooth earbuds can often be challenging to use when watching videos because of high-latency connection speeds; but with Free Byrd’s integrated Google Fast Pair technology, you’ll be able to command your favorite videos, shows, or games in real time with lightning-fast Bluetooth connection.

Active noise-canceling transparency

Even when you’re using your headphones, there are moments when you need to pay attention to the world around you. Free Byrd earbuds provide active noise-canceling technology and feature a transparency mode, allowing you to switch between absolute silence and an amplified output of your surroundings. Want to listen to your favorite tunes, but need to have a conversation with a coworker? Simple: turn on your Free Byrd’s transparency mode and you’ll be able to do both, without having to take your ’buds out.

3-driver Beyerdynamic sound

A single 12.5mm driver and the addition of two dual dynamic drivers generate a surprisingly dynamic output when paired with noise cancellation. Free Byrd’s drivers are also compatible with high-performance codecs like aptX Adaptive and AAC to ensure crystal-clear sound with exceptional movement. Additionally, you’ll have access to state-of-the-art speech clarity, making Free Byrd earbuds perfect for phone calls, video chats, device voice commands, and much more.

Low-latency Fast Pair technology

Equipped with Google Fast Pair technology, Free Byrd earbuds are able to recognize and connect with virtually any Bluetooth-compatible device. No need to worry about drivers, or additional software requirements, simply connect these ’buds to your computer, phone, or tablet, and you’re good to go. And the perks don’t stop there. Fast Pair technology may connect quickly, but it plays just as fast. You’ll experience an ultra-low latency connection, allowing you to watch videos, join video calls, and more — all without having to worry about visual-to-sound misinterpretation.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Multi-Driver buds and EQ Profile changed the game.

This is my first pair of multi-driver esrbuds I've used for reference listening. Not only are they comfortable, but i love that they have foam/silicone buds to chose from. I work as an A/V installer so having hearing protection is a must. The charger is robust, and the contacts so far have never failed. I've had issues with other devices where the earbuds would randomly pair to my phone while in my pocket at the worst moments.

Listening:
Mainly I got these as a reference listening device and boy am I not dissapointed. They sounded fantastic out of the box and of course the difference and precision of 3 drivers per bud was immediately apparent. Then I downloaded the MIY app and signed up with MIMI for a sound test. Having the sound profile is a game changer. Everyone is missing out on some upper frequencies, and hearing the difference was like opening up the curtains to a window.

Overall the battery life is acceptable, the comfort is great for my ears, the sound quality is excellent and the touch functionality is not over complicated. Very easy to use and manage.

Thanks to the support team for hooking up the replacement I needed at first. Really happy a defective pair didn't deter me from having the privilege of owning these earbuds.

Great sound, easy to use, comfortable.

I spent a lot of time researching into what ear buds I wanted to get. This one seemed the most promising but I was slightly worried due to complaints of them being too big, awkward, and falling out of the ears. I just want to say that I have not had those issues in the slightest while owning these.

I like the case and sturdy it is. All the components feel very well built and like they will last a long time. The sound quality in these are probably the best I've had in a long time. Plenty of clarity while keeping a good amount of bass and low end. I feel like you can tell earbuds and headphones are good when you can hear that "ear candy" parts of a song, or in other words small little features that add to the song but are hard to pick out sometimes.

The transparency feature has been extremely helpful; there are a lot of nights where I'm up late working on my laptop and my wife is watching a movie and so I use earbuds/headphones to be not interrupt her. A constant struggle I've had is when she wants to get my attention and I can't hear her due to my ears being blocked. But the transparency mode allows me to both listen to what I'm doing and be receptive to her if she needs my attention.

Overall, I have no complaints. Great buds, cool features, and solid build. Thanks for a great product!

Work great

I got these specifically to use with my 2 year old Sony television so that I don't bother others with sound that is too loud. They are also great for blocking out sounds around me like when the heating/AC kicks in. The sound quality is excellent (I worked for years as an audio engineer)! I'm hearing things that I wouldn't through the televisions speakers and sound placement is much better. I don't feel like either the high or low frequencies are exaggerated. Sometimes I feel like a bit more bass would be nice, but I haven't played too much with the different sound profiles. The app for the earbuds works fine, but could probably use a bit more granular control. My only complaint is that there are occasional sound drop-outs and the audio sync is very close but noticeably out of sync. Hard to tell if that is the television or the earbuds, and not so distracting that I won't be using them. I haven't used them much with music, but the little I did do sounded very good.

Follow up from last review

One thing I forgot to add in my last review is that one of the earbuds has a few ms more latency than the other, creating a widening effect. Another strike for accuracy.

Great if you're a 16 year old boy who loves rap

Good clarity but the default sound has a ridiculous low-end boost. The drivers seem to be of high quality so the low-end boost is probably an intentional software choice (see Dr. Dre Beats). Listening to unbalanced bottom-heavy audio will lead to ear fatigue after not very long. There are EQ options but none of them produce a balanced frequency response and it doesn't allow for custom EQ. If you are able to cut the low end at the source then they sound pretty good. Noise canceling works well. The app has a custom hearing test which might solve the bass problem but even though they are already paired, about three screens in it's grayed out and doesn't allow you to continue. They are non-returnable so I'll make do.
