The verdict
The Beyerdynamic Soul Byrd are a real contender among the list of wired buds. Sound clarity is excellent despite the low-end exaggeration, and comfort is bar none. Due to the way the earbud chambers sit flush with the ear, these buds are the perfect night time companion for listeners who like to enjoy audiobooks or podcasts from bed.
