Key specs that matter
Each ear cup carries a 40 mm dynamic driver with what beyerdynamic calls pinpoint directional tuning for locating in-game sources, and the quoted frequency response is 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Wireless transmission uses Bluetooth 6.0 with a low-latency mode, supports the SBC, AAC and LC3 codecs and reaches up to 20 m. A dedicated low-latency dongle is included. The battery provides up to 60 hours of operation and can be replaced by the user. Weight is approximately 320 g.
Engineering and use context
Active noise cancelling is built in to reduce background noise around the player. The microphone uses environmental noise cancelling for voice chat, mutes when flipped up and supports sidetone, feeding the speaker's own voice back into the ear cups during chat. The ear pads are velour over memory foam and are replaceable, and the headband is softened. The headset folds for transport, and a wired connection remains available, keeping it in use when the battery is empty. A storage slot in one ear cup holds the dongle, so it does not get lost when the headset travels. Through the beyerdynamic app, users can set the sidetone level, the ANC level and personal EQ presets, and install firmware updates. Because the battery can be swapped, the headset does not have to be retired when cell capacity fades after years of charging. In North America the headset comes with a warranty of up to two years and a 30-day return period.
Pairing
Wireless use is supported with PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, iOS and Android devices, while a wired connection covers PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and smartphones. The dongle suits a PC or console where latency matters, and Bluetooth covers a phone for calls and music away from the desk.
Alternatives
The beyerdynamic MMX 150 Wireless is the brand's lower-priced wireless gaming headset with a 40 mm driver, a USB-C low-latency dongle, a detachable microphone and up to 50 hours of battery life.
