Aviation headset reincarnation

Compared to most gaming headsets, the Beyerdynamic MMX 300 looks like an unusual niche product with a number of interesting features. On the one hand, there is a traditional top sound for a German company. And the headphones themselves have an unusual story, since in fact this is a modern reincarnation of the HS 400 SIGNUM aviation headset. On the other hand, the external sound card of this headset does not support multi-channel simulation. Only stereo, only old school. Well, the price tag of $300 is actually 2 times higher than popular gaming headsets. Therefore, the requirements for it are of a different order.

audiophile sound

A review of any Beyerdynamic headphones almost always begins with admiration and compliments for the sound quality. MMX 300 is no exception, these are PRO-level headphones that can equally well serve in a recording studio or become a favorite toy of a demanding music lover. Although, their primary task is to voice movies and games. The upper and middle registers have crystal clarity and purity, lively and dynamic basses slightly dominate the rest of the spectrum (but this is not annoying), and the localization and panning of the instruments cause nothing but delight. In general, by the nature of the sound, it is very reminiscent of the popular DT 880.

Professional level in everything

The epithet "professional level" applies to the same extent to the quality of the headphones themselves: here you have a powerful, sturdy aluminium construction, and the most comfortable velor ear cushions, and reliable and easily removable buttons for attaching cups. Although, landing on the head seemed harsh. Not to say that the head gets tired of them, but it takes time to get used to. But the built-in microphone caused mixed feelings. It slightly cuts the upper frequencies, making the voice warm and soft, as if it had been passed through a radium compressor. Typically, gaming headsets require clarity and clarity, so not everyone likes this “warming” of the voice.

Niche product not for everyone

All things considered, the MMX 300 is perfect for the kind of audiophile gamer who cares about top-end sound quality for both listening to music and gaming sessions. And the price plays a secondary role.
