Beyerdynamic - MMX 300 (2nd Generation)

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 mmx-300 gen 2, bought it and never looked at "gaming" headsets again

I like the Beyerdynamic MMX 300 but plenty of mentioned options are every bit as good

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!

beyerdynamics. Is the only choice for a high end headset, they are at studio quality. Im using MMX 300 but the newest DT series is better Edit: DT does not have a Mic. So I would recommend MMX 300 Pro

The headsets are trash. The headphones themselfes are good, but the glue on the microphone just evaporates, making it hanging and loose after only a short bit of time. It happened to me, it happened to a friend, it happened to a lot of people online through multiple generations of the mmx. As a german I feel insulted when they advertise with made in germany and then having worse QC then super cheap ones. I still wear the mmx 300, the mic completly broke of though, so I use an external mic. Even though the headphones are fine, I would never ever consider buying from this company again. Btw if you contact customer support, theyll tell you, you are at fault, even though there are hundreds of people online with this exact problem. And I also allways take the upmost care for my things.

I own a pair of Hifiman Edition xs and a mmx 300 From Beyerdynamic. The XS are excellent for music and also great for gaming. However I’m totally fine with the mmx 300 even tho my main game is hunt showdown where sound is a key gameplay element.

Beyerdynamic MMX 300 (every part is replaceable)

I recently advised someone to the Beyerdynamic MMX 300 and the person could not be happier. I tested the MMX 300 for a brief period and also loved it and know many people who have beyerdynamic and use it since the dawn of time without any problems. For professional work, I also love them and I it weren't for the size and noice isolation I would have gone with a beyerdynamic on ear DT 700 pro (but for FOH mixing I found an in ear option to be better). If something breaks or wears down you can get a replacement part and because it is wired there is no battery or electronics that die. Also buying just a headphone from beyerdynamic (or Sennheiser, but the consumer part is no longer german, it is swiss nowadays) and then adding a small 10€ lavalier microphone is a great way to go. Really: cant recomment beyerdynamic enough :-D

Can't speak for the 330, but I've used my regular mmx 300s for over 5 years for all music, movies, and competitive games and they're hard to beat. I can imagine the 330 pro only being better. The mic is about as good as you can get in a headset, but I still prefer using my desktop mic. A bit boring for music for me since I prefer more bass and less treble. But otherwise the detail, soundstage, and directional audio is amazing even in the closed back version. My recommendation is order the 330 in addition to one other top pick and decide which you prefer more for music listening purposes, as they'll all be good for gaming either way. You really have to hear at least 2 different sets for yourself to know what you want because it's entirely preference.
