MMX 300 PRO

Yo, I just went through this process. Unfortunately, all the wireless gaming headphones are lack luster in some way. Maxwell was the closest to what I wanted but went through two broken pairs so there's quality issues with the current versions and they're heavy. Corsair Virtuoso XT are great for FPS shooters and with an EQ actually have decent sound for media consumption but they get blown out of the water by professional headphones, and the battery is really bad and have to charge 1-2 times a day, mic imo is decent. Astro A50x is good with everything but sound. In FPS games I was missing so much detail compared to other headphones with them. I bought myself a Fiio BTR17 portable amp and now settled with Sennheiser HD 490 pro with a 4.4mm balanced cable. The portable amp makes the wired headphones into a wireless setup. I keep the amp in my pocket with the wire down my side, but Im thinking of even other methods like attaching the amp to the side of the headphone and using a very short cable. I added a Tonor microphone: [https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DG2RSR77](https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DG2RSR77) attached to the side of the headphones which has great sound quality. Also got a bluetooth USB that makes the wireless range ridiculously good. I like this set up because it's the best sound and microphone quality while keeping it wireless. I should throw in that the HD 490s are insanely comfortable and light headphones. People praise them for the comfort and I absolutely agree, you sometimes forget you're even wearing them because they fit like a glove. You can't even compare the sound quality of gaming headphones (apart from Maxwells) to professional headphones like the 490s. I can hear details, subtelties and separate sounds with them that you can't with most gaming headphones. Only draw back is having to charge the microphone and amp separately, and having to turn bluetooth on/off in windows settings at launch so it pairs with my amp (but could probably fix that with a script that launches when windows starts). I tried the MMX 330 pro before the HD 490 and that is very good if you don't mind wired.

+one for these, ive got them and had nothing but good things to say.

beyerdynamic makes a couple good models for gamers, the mmx 200 wireless and the mmx 300 pro wired. it's an actual audio brand that isn't about marketing or flashy design or rgb

I‘m using MMX 300 and Kithara at the moment. Kitharas for Singleplayer and MMX 300 for Mulitplayer(-FPS). The Mic on the MMXs is better and I think the imaging is a bit better.

No, not really. Even the Dualsense could drive them at good volume

I recently picked up the beyerdynamics mmx 300 pro from inet got a decent price, audio didnt wow me at all but it was better than my current half-broken razer blacksharks I got for 500kr at blackfriday. Returned them recently aswell because they pressuare from wearing them was really uncomfortable for my headsize. Had to take them off after only 20-30ish minutes of use. Also despite being "closed" I could hear my voice pretty clearly and the mic was very good for being a headset microphone

All headphones under $200 WILL sound like shit compared to a real hq headset or headphones. Id recommend the beyerdynamic mmx 300 pro. $320 before tax is the best price for sound you can get. If youre on a console go audeze maxwell as the mmx might not work as good on console

I may be a bit late but the MMX 300 pros are just insane i play fps games and mostly R6 and ill never switch to a other headset again. But id like to know what you got in the end
