beyerdynamicMMX 300 premium over-ear gaming headset (2nd Generation) with microphone and suitable for PS4, XBOX One, PC & Notebook

Imagine a better DT 770 Pro coupled with one of the best cardioid microphone money can buy, and you end up with the MMX 300.They're relatively light at 290 grams, great given their sturdy steel frame. They're comfortable, though like most Beyerdynamic headphones, the clamping force is fairly high around the ears. So as usual, place them around an object larger than your head for a few days at night and they'll be good to go, at the expense of noise isolation obviously.They sound very neutral, and listening to recodings of your own voice is so clear that it is almost confusing...I compared it against a good lav mic, my former Sennheiser pair and the microphone of my logitech 920 webcam: it beats them all in terms of vocal range, volume, ambient noise suppression and clarity. The Sennheiser wasn't too far, but sounded very nasal and needed more gain to offer the same output volume.So when Beyerdynamic writes "extremely high-quality condenser microphone" on the box, they're not lying. We're in the territory of high end broadcast microphone quality, perfect for podcasts and voice overs.So yes, they're amazing. Pricey, but it is justified, as it's clearly a professional grade device.

Guys I felt like these were ZEN1 not zen2... they didn't have the treble softening foam pads inside like on YouTube.... NOT JUST A GAMING HEADPHONE. Really, try the Dekoni sheep skin for Bayers on these. Softens the treble. Too harsh for my taste on stock pads. And it's also V shaped. Unfortunately I returned these because I prefer a much more aggressive mid range and well balanced sound. But YOU WILL FEEL THE BASS! if that's your jazz. Highly recommend with a DAC grab the ifi hip dac easily portable on the go as well. With that xBASS. Feels like BOOMBOX in your EARS :D. But unfortunately for me. It was a choice between HifiMan Sundara (open back) and these. The Sundaras clearly gives more of that eargasm specially on a ifivhip dac hooked up on a pc. Also on phone but a little less. Mid range felt muffled and muddy to me. So the vacals weren't as prominent of course. Specially on sound of silence. It's a taste thing. If you like electro though 100% you'll love these. And these Bayers will sound better than any other wireless crap you got.

It's a nice headset , it's light and fits my head very well . Sound is perfect . I went from wireless to wired just for these but I do miss the wireless part.Really good microphone

Decent headset but I would not recommend them for gaming. There's cheaper better options out there .the mic is amazing but the sound is not for gaming.

TLDR: Poor Mic, Decent Sound ( not for every one), Awful build quality---- alot of compromise for the price.This brand is renowned for its sound so in that regards it does live up to the standard of delivery studio monitoring headphone. This may be a problem for many cause often times this is not an appealing sound so alot of tuning may be required for it sound nice.The problems don't end there. Although the velvet like material on ear cups are comfortable they are a magnet for dust and lint so be wary of that.However the biggest problem with this headphone is the microphone quality and the overall build quality. The microphone is atrocious simply put.And despite the ear cups having a solid build, my microphone broke from its housing within 2 weeks keep in mind I didn't misuse/abuse it. Not to mention the provided 3.5 mm headphone cable is very short and they didn't even bother to braid it.

I put 4 stars because the cable with the "y" connection was faulty. Fortunately comes with two cables and the one with the straight conection was good so we had to buy a "y" extension and it was perfect.Even though the item said everything was in good condition there was this problem. I believe that the returned products should be better tested before re selling them saying they are working 100%.The product itself is real good. Good quality, good sound, good microphone, good isolation.

These are astonishingly good! I cannot fault them and if they last as long as my other Beyer Dynamic headphones that I got for my hifi, then I will be more than happy ( I got the hifi ones in 1977!!). They are expensive however they should outlast anything on the market and also backed up by Beyer's spare parts service. Something the Chinese crap can't do!Sound quality is brilliant, microphone works really well and they are very comfortable over long periods. Bite the bullet and get a pair.....you won't be disappointed!!

Compared to the first generation, the cable is dreadful and mine has disintegrated from the inside out. Moisture can get inside the cable via the volume control and oxidates.A replacement cable costs £50!Although the headset feels sturdier than the first version, the audio quality is greatly lacking.Personally I would look elsewhere.Also, customer support is now crap and you can no longer purchase replacement parts directly from beyerdynamic!Contacting them regarding the cable, they claimed that I damaged the cable "mechanically". I did nothing of the sort.I always hang the headset up after use and I have it set up so the cable never touches the floor, to avoid it getting caught in my chairs wheels.
