Bloom's Take

Few brands can claim close to 100 years of experience in making headphones, and Beyerdynamic puts that experience to good use in every aspect of Xelento Remote 2nd Generation. Xelento isn’t a reference IEM for the studio or critical listening, but it’s addictive, relaxed, and versatile, with strong comfort and convenience. That combination of fun and detail help Xelento blur the line between consumer-friendly design and audiophile appeal.

The Polished Sound Tuning of Xelento

Thanks to a new, special acoustic resonator, an optimized high-frequency range ensures even more fine detail and lightness. Accordingly, the mid-range is extremely linear which is very effective at avoiding coloration. As a balanced counterpart to the treble and midrange, the bass is designed in such a way that even the lowest frequencies are reproduced with absolute precision. An additional acoustic high-tech filter makes this uniquely possible. The high external noise attenuation and the powerful drive of the transducer ultimately ensure the highest signal fidelity in terms of lowest total harmonic distortion.

"Using a specially selected acoustic filter, I have damped the speaker so that the bass is reproduced accurately down to the lowest frequencies. You have never heard such bass before!"

Oliver Schaal - Acoustic engineer at beyerdynamic

TESLA Driven

The TESLA.11 driver used does not only feature an incomparably high-resolution sound, but also an enormous high efficiency, which is achieved by a powerful neodymium ring magnet. As Hi-Res Audio certified in-ear headphones, the Xelento remote (2nd generation) reproduces the full sound of music tracks with unparalleled resolution and depth.

Go Wireless

Due to the MMCX plug-in system, the Xelento remote Gen 2 can be expanded with the Xelento neck-band for Bluetooth® option. Thanks to the latest codecs, wireless hi-fi sound can be enjoyed: Qualcomm® aptX™ HD, Qualcomm®aptX™ Adaptive and LHDC as well as the integrated digital and analog converter with amplifier from AKM ensure wireless sound enjoyment is possible on Android, iOS, Windows, or MAC devices.

Xelento's Premium Design

The extremely slim, lightweight design with ergonomically-shaped housings and perfectly adapted ear-tips are designed to fit the anatomy of the human ear ensuring outstanding comfort when wearing and maximum external noise attenuation. In order to maximize the comfort while preventing noise, the cable is worn behind the ear.

As a special eye-catcher, the glossy housing is decorated with real gold. The Xelento logos are handmade of 24-carat gold and applied in a high-precision technical process.

Due to the IPX4 certification, the Xelento remote Gen 2 is also protected from moisture when on the move.
