Beyerdynamic - MMX 100

MMX 100’s or 300 Pro’s if you got the $ are good if you NEED the attached microphone. Otherwise, like everyone else is saying… headphones and separate microphone. I had the PC38X, and while they’re good, it’s just no comparison once you go to a decent pair of studio headphones. Whatever headphones you end up going with, USB microphones are actually good now and there’s condenser mics available that won’t require you to use a boom arm. That’s what held me back for so long, I didn’t want some cumbersome fugly arm on my desk. Ended up going with the Elgato Wave 3 USB microphone, using Wave Link software I’ve tuned it to where I can leave it on my desk and it doesn’t pick up any background noise or even my mechanical keyboard. It’s amazing.

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.

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.
