Beyerdynamic - MMX 330 PRO

my pick would be the mmx 330, 300 pro, or the pc38x, ps5 controller can easily drive these headphones, keep in mind the 330 pro and pc38x are open back headphones ( allows air and sound to come through them, he will hear everything around him, people near him can sometimes hear his headphones) 300 pros are closed, but those are around $300, but you could find them on sale, pc38x is a popular choice doesnt have a cable as long as the 330 and 300 pros,

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.

Almost everything you say is correct... don't ask a streamer for audio advice (settings), just like asking for advice on headphones. They don't know anything about audio. They're gamers, not audiophiles, they don't know the technicalities, they don't even understand the response curve of their own headphones. The only thing I would say you're wrong about is your recommendations. Commercial brands may be good in terms of comfort and maybe even style, but when it comes to real quality sound, they're not the best, especially for competitive games like Warzone, Apex, CSGO. In these cases, the best headphones will always be wired, not wireless. Depending on the environment, where you know where the precise footsteps of up to three people are coming from at once (one person above you, one below you, and one to your side), more precise drivers and configurations are required. True professional audio headphones, not gaming headphones. These brands/models are good: Audio-Technica ATH-GDL3 beyerdynamic MMX 330 PRO Sennheiser HD560S beyerdynamic DT 900 Pro X Audio-Technica ATH-R70x beyerdynamic TYGR 300 R Cooler Master Diadema Gamer MH751

These are the best options for competitive audio. You can research the ones I'm going to recommend one by one and decide which one is best, also according to your budget. These aren't selling you a brand, they're selling you real audio. Those who will respond best are audiophiles. Audio-Technica ATH-GDL3 beyerdynamic MMX 330 PRO Sennheiser HD560S beyerdynamic DT 900 Pro X Audio-Technica ATH-R70x beyerdynamic TYGR 300 R Cooler Master Diadema Gamer MH751

MMX 330 pro, semi open back headset with great sound stage. Really good for picking up directional sounds (foot steps). Uses the same drivers as their other pro headphones.

yeah but it sucks, especially its build quality

While the Maxwell are the best option in their class overall, especially if audio quality is a criteria, specifically for competitive fos games you want dynamic open backs. I don’t how you would connect them to the ps5 (I’m sure they make dacs specifically for it) but check out both Sennheiser hd600 series ( which includes the hd38x, the hd490pro and several 600 variants - 600, 6xx, 650, 660, etc) and the 9 series Beyerdynamics ( dt900, 990, 1990 ). Source - me, have both Audeze and Sennheiser speakers and play a lot of fps. The Audeze are simply better for almost everything. Except footsteps in competitive fps games. Edit: just saw that you need a headset not just headphones - both Sennheiser (EPOS brand, PC and GSP series) and Beyerdynamic (MM, Tygr) have “gaming” options. You can also add audio-technica to the list too, they also have multiple options that will fit.

Beyerdynamic mmx 330. Hifi sound with mic, best of both worlds. Ive had them for 2 years and they and phenomenal tho expensive.

I got you fam. The beyerdynamic Mmx 330 got mic, i got it and its fantastic

Beyer mmx 330 got mic:)

Coming with quick update - got MMX330 today and sad to say, but after 1-2h of testing, messing around with EQ and what not, they subjectively sound worse than my old PC363d for some reason. They have less clarity and are more "muddy"? Feeling like everything I listen to is lower quality, additionally they are less comfortable due to the fact that my whole ear isn't covered by the earmuff like in Sennheisers. Going to return them and will probably test 560s, it turns out I underestimated my old pc363d as I was expecting a tangible difference in sound and in the end they sound better to me than those Beyers... got me stunlocked today I admit.

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

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.

Your budget? I have the Beyerdynamic MMX 330 Pro and they sound great

Beyerdynamic MMX 330 Pro (wired though)

Unless you buy something like Beyerdynamic MMX 330 Pro or MMX 300v2.

Seconded, I got the mmx330 open back vatient and they are incredible. Paired with a Fosi Audio K5 Pro amp. Have the bass turned up a bit to compensate for the open backs.

mmx200 have same drivers as mmx100 which costs 60 on sale, mmx300 has same drivers as dt 700 pro x which I never saw under $195, so mmx300 even tho more expensive is MUCH better value, I'd take Sony Pulse Elite over MMX 200, it's just too expensive in comparison, even if it was same price but Sonys also go on sale

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.
