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

Beyerdynamic MMX-300 2. Generation 300€ and Creative Sound Blaster Z SE 80€ In HUNT, my mates call me Elf-Ear. Because I can hear every fart in the bush from hundreds of meters away :D

Tried the first variants and they were hands down the worst headset I have ever touched. Small cups, insanely boosted bass, poor mic. Maybe the new models are better. I personally swear to Beyerdynamic, been using the mmx300 v2 for 5+ years, insanely good.

If you want something that’ll do justice to both your music and War Thunder, I’d seriously look at the **Beyerdynamic MMX 300 (2nd Gen)**. They’ve got a clean, detailed sound with pinpoint imaging, so you can actually tell where things are coming from in-game. For long sessions they’re really comfortable too — Beyerdynamic pads are like pillows. They are wired and on the chunky side, so if you really want wireless there are decent picks like the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless, but in your price range for pure audio quality, the MMX 300 is one of the few that works just as well for gaming as it does for music.

No i pretty much use default sound drivers, sound isolation from the closed cup is enough for me. I did some config changes to the sound but they were from some generic guide. Never really had the issue of not being able to hear steps

I have the mmx 300 abd my friend the dt 770 pro, he literally hears nothing in this game but i think its a skill issue by him since he is pretty slow in his brain
