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

Don’t go for the cheapest or you will probably buy twice. Save up a bit and go for something midrange :) I have a BeyerDynamics MMX 300

I've been enjoying the Beyerdynamic MMX300 for over a year now. I like the bass, clarity, and the ruggedness (I don't 'baby' it). I've researched its pros and cons before pulling the trigger. I use it mostly attached to macbook pro--listening to spotify or watching movies. BUT like many of you, I also spend an inordinate amount of time on conference calls and sometimes prefer using the MMX300 as well for this purpose, over my Jabra. I like the clarity of the Beyerdynamic better. That said, there are times when I feel like I’m already speaking too loudly into the mic—partly of the heat of the discussion, but also because I can’t hear myself speaking. I’m now on the hunt for a simple AMP with direct monitoring—like when I see podcasters (and their guests) with BeyerdynamicDT770 cans, and they can hear both ways. I’ve searched the subreddit (capped myself at 2 hours of reading, MAX $100 budget, to avoid going down another rabbit hole). Recos aren’t unanimous. The Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen was mentioned—it has the direct monitoring switch I like, goes for $105 on Amazon—but I’m unsure about the mic port (looking at the amp’s pictures). Also, I’ve read mixed comments about the sound quality it delivers (?). For reference: the MMX300 comes with a cable that splits into mic and headphone jacks (both 3.5mm, I believe). I don’t want to buy any extra dongle or cable just to adapt to an amp. I don’t mind a Chinese brand—just need the direct monitoring switch and decent sound quality (since I’ll already be connecting to an amp). The MMX300 is 48 ohms according to the spec sheet. I only have one DAC-AMP today--AIYIMA Audio DAC-A2 PRO Gaming Decoder--which I use for another setup (in a separate house) driving a HIFIMAN.

I used Dt900 pro x for a long time but got tired of having to use external microphone so I got MMX 300 pro and am very satisfied, the sound is very good and microphone is amazing

I love my beyerdynmic MMX 300. I can replace most stuff (cushions, headrest, cable, microphone) myself and could never go back to anything else. I just hope that under the new owners it will not change much, because at some point I might want to buy a new one.

Beyerdynamic MMX300 as a headset and Topping D70 with a pair of Genelec 8020. I can listen music while not using PC and use headset for gaming/confcalling. Perfect.

been using (and repairing) a 1st generation mmx-300 since 2016, still love it. I also love that you can easily get replacement parts almost anything that can break on them.

had to replace the plastic clamps that hold the headband and the bracket for the clams together already (https://www.beyerdynamic.de/p/schieber-reparatur-set-schwarz) , and ofcourse the cushions. I currently need to replace the cable (the plastic mantle has dried out so it's exposing wires). The newer models have a plugable cable but for a gen1 I need to borrow a soldering iron :) the mmx-300 is basically a dt 770 with a mic-boom slapped on, so if you like desk-mics a dt 770 pro will do you well.

Endgame stacks Schiit Mjolnir 3/Gungnir 2 or Topping D900/A900 Trying to make an endgame stack and having a hard time deciding between: Schiit Mjolnir 3 headphone amp + Gungnir 2 dac + Wotan dual mono block speaker amp. Or Topping D900 dac + A900 headphone amp + 2x b200 mono power amps. I am looking to upgrade my hifi system after years. I used to have a Jolida tube dac and big tube amps. Years I downsized and been using the Burson Playmate. I’m now wanting to expand my system and achieve an endgame setup that’ll last for years. I have heard really good things about schiit gungnir/mjolnir and really good things about the recently released d900/a900. I am open to other suggestions as well. I’ve also considered a Burson soloist 3gt + conductor 3gt which these days can be had for right around 3k. For headphones I’ve been using mmx300, lcdx and about to purchase a pair of 800s.

Beyerdynamic -> Best Headset i ever own. https://www.beyerdynamic.de/p/mmx-300-pro

Can't complain. Used many Razer products before and my teammates said the sound got better after swichting.
