Beyerdynamic ain't Playin'! The MMX 330 Pro is Great!!

[@yinx9]

I bought this headset for competitive gaming and I'm not dissapointed. Having used only budget wireless gaming head sets I was actually blown away, not just by the difference in sound quality, but also the fact that I could hear and pinpoint footsteps super accurately. I've been told that this is also largely thanks to the open design. Being wired it also saves me roughly 30ms in response time, so for any serious gamer it's highly recommended. It's built like a tank yet light and comfortable and easily serviced, so I can see these last a decade at the least.

Bt product can last 20 to 30 years easly a speaker driver is basically immortal only thing that break overtime is the cable or the arch but hey if there removable your good to go

[@giorgosapo4508]

Awesome review! It seems to be a very balanced performer with a lot of features and props to Beyerdynamic for the detachable cable and headband.

[@Juice_VI]

Excellent review good sir! I’m happy more companies are doing open back gaming headsets. I hate closed backs.

[@beefsupreme510]

Excellent informative review!!

[@s20Merlin]

They sound great but there are microphone issues. Currently in the process of exchanging mine due to broken microphone. Similar experiences reported on reddit.

[@Skeeb23]

@@s20Merlin that's unfortunate to hear. I'll need to dig in a bit to that. My unit was, of course, fine for the time I had with it.

same here mine just stopped working after one day of use. had to return unfortunately

[@3_kids_one_shot726]

I can concur! Owned it for over a month and it’s amazing headset. The best one I’ve ever used for competitive gaming.

[@roymonson9229]

That’s great to know I just bought this headset. Can’t wait to try it out.

[@Jamie-666]

I've had the previous model for years. Still in perfect nick bar a few pad swaps.

Very helpful thanksGod bless you

[@TreSwayy]

Don’t know why isn’t anyone comparing these to 900 pro x for gaming

[@Tap80]

Just tried out this Beyerdynamics mmx330 pro, and the 300 pro closed version, Sennheiser Hd 490 pro, Maxwell Audeze and Hifiman Ananda Nano. I was looking at Headset for gaming. Now, I can say the maxwell is pretty nice, but returned it because of it seems to be unreliable. All of the rest is ok and looks good all in all, but in my case the ananda feels insane with music AND gaming. FiiO k5 pro or something similar would be necessary, but your mind will be blown awayyy

[@Skeeb23]

@@Tap80 nice that you tried so many to find your preference! The Nano is very good, I agree. The only thing is it can be too bright for people sensitive to that. Thank you for sharing!

[@mopnem]

Hifiman makes the best headphones in general imho. - That said, not sure why you’re going for headphones without a mic, that’s the whole point of “gaming headphones” no?

[@TreSwayy]

@@mopnem you can always just add a mic like a modmic

[@mopnem]

@@TreSwayy Nice imput. Had no idea those existed, pretty sure no one else did either for the non -reply. - Have you tried them? If so, how is the audio when other sounds are coming in? Can you hear voices fine?

[@TreSwayy]

@@mopnem are talking about the mic or the headset?

Bear down. I’m in Chicago burbs! A frequency chart would be nice unless I missed it.

@@Skeeb23I’m currently using Sennheiser HD800s and Shure MV6 which are amazing but I’m always interested in new releases. For the price these look great. Also check out the Aune AR5000 around the same price.

[@cwhit2575]

Found the 330 pro for 120 dollars on Facebook marketplace. Amazon reseller New sealed in box. Couldn't believe it. I did have to buy after market ear muffs tho. The stock ones are way too thin. They hurt

[@Skeeb23]

@@cwhit2575 wow, great deal! Enjoy!

[@markmonaco70]

Please help me. My ears hurt too much. What are the ear cuff you bought and how you remove it.

[@PittPistol]

What is better for shooter MMX330 Pro or MMX300 Pro?

[@Skeeb23]

I wish I had heard the MMX300 Pro as well, but I haven't yet. The MMX330 Pro will do very well for shooters. It's not overly done in the low end so that it drowns out footsteps and finite details you'll need to pinpoint things out.

[@PittPistol]

@@Skeeb23 Thank you! I tend to get the MMX330 Pro because I dislike not hearing myself talking while communication through voice chat with my teammates and that seems to be the case with the MMX300 Pro.

[@johnnyr-518]

That non-removal mic makes my blood boil, partly because I'm looking for an open back gaming headset.

[@aIIix]

well, it wouldn't be a headset now would it... just get another beyerdyanmics offering and buy a desk-mic, or if you really want it hooked onto the headphones then hook on a mod-mic

[@chepesk132004]

What is better for shooter Sennheiser hd560s or Beyerdinamic mx300pro open versión ?

[@Skeeb23]

Definitely the mmx330 pro. Bigger staging and can pinpoint footsteps a bit better, imo.

[@chepesk132004]

@ thanks Master

[@SomeGuyFromUtah]

I got a new PC and my headset seems to be really quiet now compared to on my old PC. Maybe it was something to do with the motherboard/soundcard. Is this pretty common when plugging a headset straight into a PC without a DAC? I've never owned a DAC before, unless it was included in the headphone to USB adaptor that came with an old headset.

[@Skeeb23]

Hey, think I can definitely help here on a couple of things. First, anytime you can plug a headphone into a 3.5 jack, that means you have a DAC. A DAC is built in to the simplest USB devices, for instance, so you're good there. There are different levels of the quality of the DAC of course. Your motherboards soundcard could just be a very basic realtek that isn't doing you many favors with the MMX330 Pro. Also, look into your sound settings. It's possible you have some options turned on that you may not have before. Windows sound enhancements, and things like that, can create more issues than they are worth. Really just comes down to experimenting. My guess is you will get plenty of volume out of the headphone with your PC, just have something switched on (or off) that is causing the issue.

[@SomeGuyFromUtah]

@@Skeeb23 Ok, thanks! It's a brand new PC with a higher end MB - Rog Strix Dark Hero, I think, so I'd think it'd be have some bells and whistles like decent audio amplification. I had to send it back for service, and while they have it, I'll ask them to take a look at any settings that might be negatively impacting mic volume (makes me skeptical that they truly fixed the i9 processors because it was behaving similar to that issue)

[@Skeeb23]

@SomeGuyFromUtah you're right, the onboard soundcard should be plenty for that headphone. I do have a suggestion...down the road if you're serious about better audio, an external Dac may be the way to go. It's what started my journey down the rabbit hole of audio.

[@TreSwayy]

Mic sounds ok, but the antilon modmic wireless is still better
