beyerdynamic Verio 200 Open True Wireless Earphones - Black

Overall, the sound quality of these Open Ear phones is acceptable. If you are looking for an 'Audiophile' experience, look elsewhere now! (True Audiophiles will know, that it is impossible for anything Bluetooth to sound 'good' anyway).However, if you're considering these earphones you probably aren't intending on using them that way, anyway! I have other headphones that I like to use for critical listening, but I wanted something small, lightweight, bluetooth, and imortantly 'open'. They are great for using 'round the house for listening to podcasts or a bit of 'background music', without disturbing the Mrs. Best of all (ha ha), I can still hear her if she wants my attention. Great for on the go - good phone call quality (so i am told by people on the other end). Touch controls work well (although do take a little getting used to). And Great for communication with voice assistant on the phone.For me (not for everyone) these are incredibly comfortable, and fit my ears very well. I often forget that I'm wearing them.Now the ugly bit. I'm on my third pair of these. Amazon lost the first pair. With the second and third pair, I have noticed that the manufacturing quality is completely unacceptable for a product at this price point, and more importanly, a product with a 'BeyerDynamic' logo on it! Tolerances in the manufacturing process aren't good enough. On both of the latter pairs I have noticed cracking in the housing around the top of the earphones (pictured). Bad enough on the right-side, that I would say that the already megre IP54 rating is completely compromised. After 5 days use, it looks as though a small piece of the housing might fall out completely.Just simply not good enough at this price, from a company with Beyer's history and reputation.DO NOT BUY... (unless you'd really like to try them / risk it, in which case, I hope your experience differs to mine)
