Beyerdynamic - MMX 300

Beyerdynamics MMX 300 if you want one with a mic or dt 700/900 if you don’t.

Beyerdynamic MMX300. It's great for games and sims!

At a thrift store budget, cheap IEMs like the Kiwi Ears Cadenza and Moondrop Chu II offer great value and way better tuning than the Alpha, but they don't surpass it in fidelity which matters more for gaming—especially with EQ. The Alpha's exceptional comfort alone makes it preferable over budget IEMs or budget headphones like the JT1 and M30X. While the Alpha and almost every headset is very overpriced at retail, thrift store finds change the equation. Used DT 770s can be found for under $70, and with a $20 mic are unbeatable value, essentially matching a $300 MMX 300 headset. That doesn't matter though is your total budget is 30 bucks. Dismissing gaming headsets entirely is short-sighted nonsense. The Audeze Maxwell outperforms similarly priced wireless headphones for gaming, while headsets like the PC38X and Corsair Virtuoso Pro are both headsets with great used prices that I'd take over traditional headphones like the HD 599 or Thieaudio Ghost. Though, I'd take a 560S over all four, but it is pretty hard to find a good used deal on the 560. The aforementioned MMX 300 is also an excellent gaming headset too—just $140 overpriced considering its a 770 with a mic.

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.

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 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!

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

Same but I’m switching to mmx 300 beyerdybamics just for overall upgrade but my hyper x they for some reason are defaulted to a high audio so everytime I use them I gotta turn the audio down

If you run some sound software, check that you don't run something like 3D Audio. Just a little hint but it can make a big difference. I run a beyerdynamic MMX 300 and ingame comtac6, works great for me.

Beyerdynamix mmx 300. You asked for the best. I have arctis pro wireless, dt 770 and some other studio headphones, but mmx 300 has the sound quality with mic. Steelseries is also the most uncomfortable of those
