Beyerdynamic - MMX 300

Beyerdynamic MMX300 for that price.

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 is very solid, I used an MMX 300 (which really is just a DT770 Pro with a mic) for probably almost 7 years. I replaced it 1.5 years ago with an Audeze Maxwell and the sound is truly amazing, so I'd consider this a massive upgrade in the sound department quality but it comes at a price that's for sure, but when the first thing you do when turning on your computer is putting on your headphones, it's almost a no brainer to put in some money in those. Enjoy your new (future) acquisition!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Are you on PlayStation or Xbox? If you have trouble with directions there might be something enabled like 3D audio in the PlayStation settings. There are pro streamers like Khalamity using 20$ EarPods. So this shouldn’t be a equipment issues. That being said I’m using a MMX300 gen 2 and Soundblaster G6 combo with a own EQ profile I’ve created tailored to the headphones and hunt (I’m playing on PlayStation 5 pro). With a mod mic you can turn any headphone into a headset. The DT 990 pro are quite popular among hunt streamers. But if you are on console you will need something like a soundblaster G6 to use it.

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