Reviewers’ own scores: TechRadar 3.5/5
Early verdict: only a few in-depth reviews are out so far. We update this page as more reviews are published.
The verdict
This is an early verdict based on a single review, from TechRadar, which gave the Aventho Y 3.5 out of 5. It found strong noise cancelling, a comfortable design and very long battery life, but poor out-of-the-box sound that only partly improves with EQ. It suits buyers who put battery life and noise cancelling ahead of sound quality. Treat the picture as provisional until more outlets weigh in.
Best for: Commuters and travellers who want long battery life and strong noise cancelling, and who don’t mind adjusting EQ.
Skip it if: You care most about sound quality in quiet rooms, want hi-res or lossless codec support, or need EQ on a non-smartphone platform.

In detail
Sound quality: 5.1/10
Sound is the weak point in the one review we read. TechRadar judged the out-of-the-box tuning poor: high mids and voices had a telephonic quality, bass was weak and sat behind other elements, and the sound lacked dynamics and clarity. A snare came across as boxed-up and restrained. TechRadar found that EQ adjustments in the app between 60Hz and 200Hz bring back the essential bass, which softens the verdict somewhat. It also said the sound holds up better in noisy outdoor settings than in quiet rooms, and that these headphones aren’t suited to hi-res listening or high-fidelity systems, though it didn’t test that last point. With only one outlet, there is no second opinion to compare against.
Noise cancelling: 8.1/10
Noise cancelling is the strongest area in TechRadar’s testing. It found the ANC highly effective, more so than on more expensive headphones. The trade-off is a noticeable hissy noise floor when ANC is on. TechRadar also tested the transparency mode, which it found works well outdoors but is less effective indoors, with some underlying hiss. This is one outlet’s view, so there is no disagreement or confirmation from others. If you are sensitive to background hiss, it is worth listening for it before committing.
Comfort & fit: 8.5/10
TechRadar describes the Aventho Y as well designed and comfortable, and it points to the magnetically attached ear pads, which come off easily. It reported no complaints about fit. The evidence here is thin: the review we read gives no weight figure and no detail on how the headphones feel over long listening sessions, and no other outlet covers comfort. Treat this as a positive first impression rather than a settled verdict, particularly if you plan to wear them for many hours at a stretch.
Battery life: 9.1/10
Battery life is a clear highlight, though the figures are not measured. TechRadar reports up to 90 hours without ANC and 60 hours with ANC on. It also says a five-minute quick charge gives six hours of listening, and that the battery is easily replaceable once it loses capacity. TechRadar did not independently test these numbers, so real-world results may differ. Still, the review raised no complaints here, and the replaceable battery is a practical point for anyone planning to keep the headphones for years. No other outlet has weighed in yet.
App & connectivity: 7.3/10
TechRadar lists Bluetooth 6.0 with multipoint connectivity, which lets you connect to more than one device. It counts the lack of lossless aptX or LDAC codec support as a drawback, though it did not test that. The Beyerdynamic app provides EQ customisation, which matters given the default tuning, but TechRadar notes it needs a smartphone and isn’t available on other platforms. This was tested. The picture is mixed rather than negative, and it rests on one outlet. Call quality isn’t covered in the reviews we read, so we can’t say how the headphones handle calls.

How we put this together
We read the reviews and articles listed above and weigh each by how much it should count: in-depth, hands-on testing with measurements counts most; launch news and press-release rewrites count least; sponsored content is penalised. Category scores are our trust-weighted summary of what those sources found, set to the same 10-point scale reviewers use; the reviewers’ own scores, where published, are listed above. This page was compiled with AI assistance and checked against the source notes. All findings belong to the outlets credited above; follow the links to read their full reviews. How we score.
