Beyerdynamic - MMX 300

Don't go for the cheapest or you will probably buy twice. Save up a bit and go for something midrange :) I have a BeyerDynamics MMX 300

Beyerdynamic MMX300. It's great for games and sims!

The more expensive Beyerdynamic headsets, the MMX 300 and 330 Pro, both have fantastic microphones by gaming headset standards, but they're also *extremely* sensitive so you'll want to tweak that. A dedicated separate mic gives you the biggest flexibility because it can be paired with literally any headphone of course, and there's many different options for microphones, so you can absolutely get a mic that sounds better than the Beyerdynamic headset mics It comes down to preference, do you want the very convenient all-in-one package of a premium headset, or being willing to drop some extra money to get both a good headphone and good mic and also do deeper research into what will be the best two options for you.

Beyerdynamic MMX 300 (Gen 2), goes for roughly 180 Euros. It's a closed-back headset developed by an actual reputable audio equipment company, not by a bullshit gaming headset brand. https://north-america.beyerdynamic.com/p/mmx-300 Or if you're set on open-back headsets only, then the PC38X. Goes anywhere from 100 to 170 euros, the price fluctuates. Same as before, made by an actual reputable company. https://drop.com/buy/drop-epos-pc38x-gaming-headset

I did have the MMX 300 Gen 2 at one point but unfortunately I had to return them because of a physically broken/detached microphone, but that's my own fault for buying them from a third-party seller via Amazon instead of buying from an official retailer lol. The sound is fantastic in terms of being a gaming headset, it's basically the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80ohm but with a nice mic attached. Definitely a V-shaped tuning but that's generally desired for gaming for that wow and fun factor.

Beyerdynamic mmx-300 gen 2, bought it and never looked at "gaming" headsets again

If you want a sleek wireless: audeze Maxwell (get the ps5/pc version since the Xbox version has dolby atmos aka more expensive snake oil) If you want a wired sturdy pair with longevity due to many replacement parts available: mmx300/mmx330 If you want the Absolut best sound I'd get a proper audiophile pair of headphones. However keep in mind that this means spending extra money on a dac/Amp. The mmx300 will definitely also greatly benefit of a dac/Amp. Cheers

Beyerdynamix mmx 300. You asked for the best. I have arctis pro wireless, dt 770 and some other studio headphones, but mmx 300 has the sound quality with mic. Steelseries is also the most uncomfortable of those

Feel free to check out the Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro X LE, for example.

I was searching the perfect 3D solution, too and i tryed it all. I end up with Gustard x18, Aune S17 Pro Evo and Hifiman Ananda Nano, optional with Dolby Atmos for headphone but you don´t need to waste so much money. Soundblaster x4 in is currently the best in gaming for 3D audio, Special with the Scoutmode. Sennheiser GSX 1000 2nd Edition driverless very very good. Both setup cheap and good with Beyerdynamics MMX Series Hifiman Ananda Nano was the best i hear for 3D Audio and take a cheap 2nd Hand ADI-2 DAC its the perfect precision on games, i doubt there is a better solution for this price.

Can't speak for the 330, but I've used my regular mmx 300s for over 5 years for all music, movies, and competitive games and they're hard to beat. I can imagine the 330 pro only being better. The mic is about as good as you can get in a headset, but I still prefer using my desktop mic. A bit boring for music for me since I prefer more bass and less treble. But otherwise the detail, soundstage, and directional audio is amazing even in the closed back version. My recommendation is order the 330 in addition to one other top pick and decide which you prefer more for music listening purposes, as they'll all be good for gaming either way. You really have to hear at least 2 different sets for yourself to know what you want because it's entirely preference.

I have my second pair open back - akg k7xx from drop, but mmx300 gen 2 is closed and i added dekoni elite sheepskin pads, and its magic for music and games. I use it with sennheiser gsx1000

If you run some sound software, check that you don't run something like 3D Audio. Just a little hint but it can make a big difference. I run a beyerdynamic MMX 300 and ingame comtac6, works great for me.

I had the Byerdynamc mmx300 for almost 10 years now. They are fantastic. Switched now to the mmx 200 wireless because I always wanted a wireless. They are realy good

I am also looking for a new Headset right now and if you want the best sound get the MMX 300. It's not wireless but with wireless you will always sacrifice sound quality. I already have the DT 770 Pro and the sound quality is superb. I heard new details in songs I listended hundred times before. Wireless is convinient, but if you really want the best sound quality get a wired one. Also the MMX 300 is made in Heilbronn the MMX 200 is made in China.

As a big audio fan that's not always the truth. Yes you'll get better experience on the audio side but build quality isn't always the truth. Sennheiser for instance has had lots of issues with the batteries for their wireless products, Sony and pioneer for instance had insanely awful hinges on anything that wasn't into the $400+ range. Hinges are some of the big issues (same with earcups) when it comes to what breaks and you have to remember getting more quality of a product doesn't mean those elements aren't still flawed, many high end pairs of headphones for instance aren't meant to be constantly taken off your head or moved around with heavy. (Very high end headphones aren't great for gaming btw, they are detailed in ways that don't get taken advantage of and require high end amps to properly utilize and also aren't always meant for long sessions, also you gotta realize the environment your in) This is coming from someone with numerous high end headsets, headphones, has gotten to demo and use headphones that are way beyond any logical price point even. With that said many of these companies make also gaming headsets now which are usually eq'd specially more for gaming (the way a driver is set up is very much different for use and what you're primarily listening to) now with that said the blackshark is nice for long periods since it's so light and doesn't overheat you also decent mic. Sennheiser had some good with the Epos line but they got rid of them and don't support them anymore (they sold off the line) and there was some issues with consistency in them however they were great (I owned multiple pairs in the line and love the h3 hybrid and h6pro (still have them too), however sound wise the beyerdynamic mmx300 is a lot better (it's that beyer style of sound that's more clinical just as a heads up and you will need to get a decent amp though you can reuse even an older turtle beach or Astro one if you want one more geared towards gaming)

Not a huge difference, but it's definitely better for music than the 300R is. I mainly got it to have an open back version of the MMX 300.

been using (and repairing) a 1st generation mmx-300 since 2016, still love it. I also love that you can easily get replacement parts almost anything that can break on them.

Beyerdynamic MMX300 as a headset and Topping D70 with a pair of Genelec 8020. I can listen music while not using PC and use headset for gaming/confcalling. Perfect.

Tried out the momentum 4 yesterday, they're amazing for my music since I enjoy the very abundant bass, but not the best for locating footsteps in games. Night and day when I compare them to my Beyerdynamic MMX 300. Most likely I'll keep using those in addition to whatever wireless headphones I stick with, specifically for fps gaming. Momentum 4s are worth trying out though for their price as their super fun to listen to music with, $200 on amazon currently or $180 at best buy for the denim colorway. You could possibly EQ them to be more usable for games, and lowering the bass would make them less fatiguing. I'd also want cooler/deeper cushions for longtime use.

Beyerdynamic MMX 300's are incredible and use drivers from studio grade headphones. Build quality is tank-like. For open back I'd use Sennheiser 38X's.

I've bought recently a second hand Beyerdynamic and it's a serious upgrade after some Corsair and Logitech.

I recently advised someone to the Beyerdynamic MMX 300 and the person could not be happier. I tested the MMX 300 for a brief period and also loved it and know many people who have beyerdynamic and use it since the dawn of time without any problems. For professional work, I also love them and I it weren't for the size and noice isolation I would have gone with a beyerdynamic on ear DT 700 pro (but for FOH mixing I found an in ear option to be better). If something breaks or wears down you can get a replacement part and because it is wired there is no battery or electronics that die. Also buying just a headphone from beyerdynamic (or Sennheiser, but the consumer part is no longer german, it is swiss nowadays) and then adding a small 10€ lavalier microphone is a great way to go. Really: cant recomment beyerdynamic enough :-D

I like my Beyerdynamics MMX 300. Quite expensive but worth it in my mind since these have lasted 7 years only sometimes switching the ear pads. Highly recommend

I got the MMX300 and they are awesome. Dont know what you mean with quality. Especially beyerdynamics is insane in terms of quality. I also got the DT770 Pro for work and I use them now for 8 years without any problems.

And beyer is currently having their B-stock sale. You can get the MX300 and 330 for $299 right now.

I bought used behr dynamics mmx300s and cleaned and replaced the ear muffs on them. Got em for under 80$

Beyerdynamic MMX series are the best gaming headsets I've tried. Some people think I have a proper studio microphone. And the sound of the headphones punches way beyond its price point. They have no software and work perfectly with Linux. Otherwise I'd recommend some proper headphones and a separate microphone.

Try beyerdynamic mmx300. Also u dont need ghub running. Devices can remember settings. I also have kb and mouse from logi but using it with ghub turned off.

Shokz opencomm 2 uc for Work MMX 300 for gaming on pc Sony wh-1000xm4 on mobile

had to replace the plastic clamps that hold the headband and the bracket for the clams together already (https://www.beyerdynamic.de/p/schieber-reparatur-set-schwarz) , and ofcourse the cushions. I currently need to replace the cable (the plastic mantle has dried out so it's exposing wires). The newer models have a plugable cable but for a gen1 I need to borrow a soldering iron :) the mmx-300 is basically a dt 770 with a mic-boom slapped on, so if you like desk-mics a dt 770 pro will do you well.

I run beyer dynamic mmx300, and a creative labs x5 DAC. I think they are the best gaming headset for the money. The microphone is great also! They say no power required...but if you want them to come to life you gotta have the high gain on. If you want a cheaper DAC, the creative sb6 also has a gain switch and ran them totally fine... I only upgraded because my daughter broke the sb6. I highly suggest going wired for a better experience, you'll pay more for less with wireless. The sb6 DAc and mmx300 headset will set you back around 500.

And also MMX300 Gen.2 great choice

Please stay away from ASTRO (at least their wireless ones, they are garbage, the wired ones are just not really worth the money but at least fine to use). The only gaming branded actually good headsets I know of are from beyerdynamic mmx (f.e. Mmx 300) series and partly steelseries arctis series. Also: an actual headset or headphones? Headsets in general are much less worth the money because of the mic, if it's actually needed fine, but if you have an external mic anyways I really wouldn't get one. Also consider if wired is an option.

So basically you want to look for a lower budget stereo headset - build in micro will lead you automatically to classic gaming headsets. Personally I am using a mmx 300 which is a little over your budget. I've never tried the cheaper options from beyerdynamic myself, but I'd say it's worth a shot since they usually mostly offer good quality stuff: https://www.beyerdynamic.de/p/mmx-150-schwarz-b-ware Don't get something that is advertised with 7.1 or surround sound since this is just a gimmicky marketing stunt - Hunt uses its own Spatial Audio which requires a pure stereo signal to work properly. 7.1, Atmos etc will not actually work with a headphone which obviously just has a left and right speaker.

If it can be wired: Beyerdynamic MMX 330 Pro (or 300 if you don't like open) I don't use it on console, but on PC this is crazy good for me :) Comes with a 2.5m cable and has an adapter for the PS5 audio jack In Germany it's 300€ or less, I can't tell about other countries

Same but I'm switching to mmx 300 beyerdybamics just for overall upgrade but my hyper x they for some reason are defaulted to a high audio so everytime I use them I gotta turn the audio down

I got the Beyerdynamic MMX 300 and the MMX 330 and they are both great, can recommend. The MMX 330 is a bit better I'd say but costs the same.

I love my beyerdynmic MMX 300. I can replace most stuff (cushions, headrest, cable, microphone) myself and could never go back to anything else. I just hope that under the new owners it will not change much, because at some point I might want to buy a new one.

Or a pair of beyerdynamic mmx 300 if you want to to keep it even simpler. Turns out putting a fantastic mic on a tried and tested design with bit friendlier tuning is a recipe for succes. You can even get them used for basically nothing, and since it's beyer, they'll last decades. Assuming you buy new pads every now and again.

100%, I've gone from an MMX 300 to a TYGR 300R to a MMX 330 Pro. Love all three, used to be a Sennheiser guy but not anymore.

No clue on the availability anymore, but mmx 300 gen 2s are fucking amazing. Mic is so good.

Well, if you need the microphone and your main field of use is gaming, the MMX300 would certainly be the right choice. If you don't need the microphone and you don't explicitly need the sound tuning of the headphones for gaming, go for the DT770 Pro X LE while they're still available. The ones on sale seem to be just the rest that are now being sold off. I would use the low ohms (80 ohms) for the MMX300, unless you have plenty of external amplifier power to drive the high-impedance version.

Yeah Reddit is weird sometimes but seriously sound is a very important aspect in hunt, way more compared to other online fps. Main reason is, that a lot of sound cues gives you crucial information about your enemies - and based on that information you make decisions about movement, positioning etc. Without the valuable knowledge from the audio it's almost as if you'd play blind. Even a set a cheap razer krakens will do the job. I personally bought the mmx 300 mostly for hunt.

I'm a fan of the Beyerdynamic MMX300 v2. It's literally a DT770 with a mic bolted to it. Great sound and has the same awesome comfort level.
