What is Quiet Luxury?
Quiet Luxury is more than a style—it’s a statement. It stands for intentional understatement, uncompromising quality, and design that doesn’t demand attention but endures. It’s the kind of luxury chosen by those who have nothing to prove—and therefore choose only the best. No overstatement, just honest materials, flawless craftsmanship, and an aesthetic that stands the test of time.
Quiet Luxury & beyerdynamic
How do we define Quiet Luxury within our company?
Kathrin:
For us, Quiet Luxury isn’t a trend—it’s a mindset deeply rooted in our brand. For over 100 years, beyerdynamic has stood for audio excellence at the highest level—with products that impress through craftsmanship, substance, and timelessness.
This philosophy is also reflected in the AVENTHO 100: a headphone that makes an impact through quiet elegance—not loud gestures. Minimal in expression, clear in form, and uncompromising in quality. A design that doesn’t dominate but integrates. One that blends with the wearer instead of overpowering them.
Why was the AVENTHO 100 deliberately designed with a minimalist aesthetic and without prominent branding?
Kathrin: True quality doesn’t need a grand performance to make an impact. The AVENTHO 100 is made for people who value clarity, aesthetics, and substance—not quick effects, but lasting impressions. Its design is intentionally understated, yet full of character. It speaks the language of a modern lifestyle: premium, durable, unobtrusive—and sonically impressive. For those who know that what truly matters doesn’t have to be loud—it just must be felt.
AVENTHO 100: Design that endures
The AVENTHO 100 is our contribution to a new generation of consumer electronics. It’s crafted for people who care about aesthetics, feel, functionality, and sound—without compromising on any of them.
Anna: We believe that great design doesn’t have to be loud. It must be thoughtful — stripped down to the essentials, uncompromising in quality and function. With the AVENTHO 100, we’ve created a product that doesn’t seek the spotlight but fits seamlessly into the lives of style-conscious individuals. Cleverly integrated technologies can also set new visual standards—subtle, yet impactful.
What makes the design of the AVENTHO 100 so special?
Kathrin: It’s a design that makes a statement—with clean lines, a restrained colour palette, and an aesthetic that doesn’t aim to please, but to convince. The AVENTHO 100 doesn’t follow trends—it follows a design philosophy rooted in timelessness and quality. Every detail serves a purpose; every element is intentional. No gimmicks, no statements for the sake of effect—just a clear expression of style and standards. For people who know exactly what they want.
Materials with purpose
The AVENTHO 100 is crafted from carefully selected materials that not only look premium but feel exceptional too. The yoke is made from high-grade aluminium, and the meticulously crafted textile cables lend the AVENTHO 100 a refined, timeless appearance while emphasizing the headphone’s robust construction.
The ear pads are easily replaceable — ensuring long-lasting comfort for years to come. A memory foam layer gently and precisely adapts to the shape of the ear, while the outer material — artificial leather in this case — provides a particularly pleasant wearing experience.
Why do we place such importance on materials and craftsmanship in the AVENTHO 100?
Anna: Materials tell stories — about origin, intention, and values. With the AVENTHO 100, it was important to us that every detail not only looks premium but feels that way too. Because true style begins where it’s not immediately visible — in the substance.
AVENTHO 100: The Sound of Understatement
The AVENTHO 100 is more than just a pair of headphones. It’s a statement—for those who understand that true class speaks softly. With its balanced sound profile, intuitive controls, and uncompromising design, it integrates seamlessly into the everyday lives of style-conscious users.
Why is the AVENTHO 100 a perfect match for the Quiet Luxury lifestyle?
Kathrin: AVENTHO 100 is a perfect match for the Quiet Luxury lifestyle as it embodies everything Quiet Luxury stands for: restraint, quality, longevity—and an aesthetic that doesn’t seek attention but earns admiration.
Anna: Quiet Luxury isn’t just about how something looks—it’s about how it feels. With the AVENTHO 100, you can sense the quality in every detail—from the aluminium headband to the soft ear cushions. It’s these subtle touches that make all the difference.
Conclusion
Quiet Luxury isn’t a hype—it’s a countermovement to overexposure. And the AVENTHO 100 is our contribution to that movement. A headphone that not only sounds exceptional but looks the part, too.
