Attack-Of-The-CatBeyerdynamic MMX300 for that price.
BladeOfSmokeThe 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.
Cornetto69Beyerdynamic mmx-300 gen 2, bought it and never looked at "gaming" headsets again
crayonflop3I have Beyerdynamic MMX 300, highly recommend. Best mic and best headphones for the money
DrazyorBeyerdynamic 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!
ekortelainenMaxwell is almost 600g. And Kithara is very heavy. Even mmx300 is heavy in comparison to xm4
Firm_Hold_9197Beyerdynamic MMX 300 is my best advice.
Fleurby14I used the Beyerdynamic MMX 300 for a long time (mainly for its comfort, I must have tried 4 or 5 headsets and it’s the only one I can keep on my head for 12 hours a day without feeling the slightest discomfort), but after almost 6 years of loyal service the left earcup finally stopped working. So I ordered the new model (I couldn’t manage to find the exact same one), the Beyerdynamic MMX 330 Pro. The only difference is that this one is open-back (while the old one was closed-back). I hope it will be just as comfortable. But paired with my Sound BlasterX G6, I always had clear sound and it was easy to tell where sounds were coming from, despite my more or less severe hearing loss in my left ear (I actually have more trouble determining the origin of a sound in real life than in a video game, since I always increase the volume in my almost deaf ear). Sorry for telling my whole life story.
