Beyerdynamic's $149.99 Aventho Y ran about 50 hours with ANC on for Tom's Guide and has a swappable battery, but sounds boxy.

Buying call

Buy the Aventho Y if battery life and repairability matter more than sound: beyerdynamic lists it at $149.99 (Oct 7, 2026), Tom's Guide got about 50 hours with ANC on at 50% volume before hitting 5%, and you can replace both the battery and the ear cushions yourself. It's IP53 against dust and splashes, rare for over-ears, and supports multipoint and wired USB-C audio. Skip it if you want good sound out of the box, because Tom's Guide found it boxy and flat until you EQ it in the app, and its colleagues called the mic scratchy on calls. It stops at SBC and AAC, has no wear detection, and at 11.14 oz (316 g) it's much heavier than the 207 g Sony WH-CH730N.
