I bought this as a competitive gamer and I couldn't be happier. One additional benefit of the open design is that I can hear myself speak... like having natural sidetone. Instead of hearing yourself via the mic with closed headsets with sidetone. It's a relief!
I didn't realize Beyerdynamic did a refresh on their entire lineup of headphones! I just received the Mark II of the 1990 pro and its been surprisingly positive compared to the original in a few ways. Perhaps a comparison video between the new vs old beyers and what to pick for gaming/music?
Had these about 2 weeks now and they've been great for gaming and also all day work use. Nice you have the Creative G8 also - have got one of those connected to my PS5 currently with the 330 Pro also. Another great video Joe - thanks :)
A wonderfully detailed review of this headset. The Tygr was once on my wishlist but decided not to go Beyerdynamic and have eventually ended up with the AUNE AR5000. Based on your review, I probably won't go for the 330 Pro due to the cup size and depth, as the AR5000 is the only headphone/set that comfortably accommodates my ears. Thank you again, as always for your time, perspectives, and efforts to share this with us all.
One big thing to mention vs the PC38X is the build quality. The 330 pro just destroys it in that area. The 38X will last fine if you take care of it, don’t get me wrong. But boy does its plastic feel cheap. And they always started to creak and crack on me. And the glue on the headband came apart on multiple pair. The 330 is built like a tank if it’s like any of their other headphones.
Bought a few different headphones over the holiday break, and I think the mmx 330 pro is the winner for me. Coming from the Senn Game Zero headset, this headset just sounds better. EQ definitely helped. The only problem I have right now is that they hurt my head after about an hour or so of gaming. I'm unsure if its the clamping pressue or what. I have a new headband and earpads coming to see if that helps. If it doesn't... then I guess I'll be on the hunt again. I wish I liked open-back headphones, because I also tried the Philips Fidelio X2HR and they were like clouds on my head. If only they made a closed-back version.
I get the earpads from the DT1990pro and put them on the MMX330. The Pads from the 1990pro are deeper as the pads from the MMX330. The Sound is subjective the same because the 1990pro is also open back. Now my ears dont touch the driver and Iam completly happy. Greetings from Germany
Bought the 300 pro based off your previous review. I thought this was a re-upload at first lol. Also, you should maybe show how to connect the headset to a pc via audio interface. It actually takes a bit of a work around to get the mic working. Great review as always!
Nice review. Completely agree on almost everything you mention about the 330mx. Just got them myself last week. I too was a little "hey my ear is touching the baffle" and i am coming from Steelseries arctis nova pro wireless (with wicked cushions) and Philips Fidelio X2HR. But i can wear these for hours without any fatigue. The clamp force and the ear pads are so nice. Also the sound stage is so much more with these. And this is only from the onboard audio - already on the hunt for a DAC that can give that little extra to sound quality.
@@jasonemanuel9070 Sorry i didn't meant that the philips gave me fatigue. They are also very nice. But between philips and beyer, i like the comfort of they beyer slightly more, but they are very close to each other on that front.
Well returningen mine. Did everything Beyer instructed, how to handle the microphone/goose neck, have been ultra carefull. But after 2 weeks of uge, the goose neck is already loose and "falls down" Love them for the sound and comfort, but seeing this problem is the same as others has experinced in previous versions with the "same" microphone build/design. Kinda disappointing this still could be a problem. They should really take a closer look at that design, seems fragile. just my point of view.
Hello! I have a pair of MMX330 on the way right now. Historically i have ran my headphones through the Astro A40TR Mixamp as I like the ability to change voice and game audio on the fly. Will running these headphones through the Mixamp make the headphones sound any better or worse? If it would make it worse do you have any product recommendations for alternatives?
Question: Which headphone would be better overall for casual gaming, music and movies? In terms of value, comfort and sound between the Audeze Maxwell and the Hifiman Edition XS? The maxwell are 330$ and the Hifiman Edition XS are 360$ where i live.
A bit late to the party, but whats your thoughts on this vs the Corsair Virtuoso Pro? I could live with the MIC of the Virtuose but am curious regarding differences in sound quality and comfort. I assume the 330 Pro have better sound quality but is it by much?
I was just deciding between *Aune AR5000* + ARU1 Dongle DAC cable, *Linsoul HarmonicDyne Zeus Elite* + ARU1 Dongle DAC cable to upgrade the Corsair Virtuoso Pro (I have a separate microphone but I'm happy to have it) and after seeing this I have another very likely candidate, this *MMX 330 Pro.* I use them for everything and I would also like to use them with a mobile phone (Vivo X100 Ultra) with the Aune ARU1 DAC Dongle. Can anyone help me? Especially if you know the 3 options. Thx
Great review as always But I have one question for you. I want to buy new headphones for gaming and music. I usually play Apex Legends, some casual games, and story games. I'm stuck between these three headphones: the new 330 Pro, the 300 Pro closed-back version, and the VZR Model One. What do you think? Which one would you recommend?
Hello! So two of those are closed backs, and have a lot more bass. If you want sound isolation, then both models are great. The 300 Pro has a better mic, and still sounds excellent for mixed use of gaming and music. The Model One has incredible imaging performance, but lacks in music performance without some more aggressive EQ. Of the three, if you can go with an open back, the 330 Pro is a wonderful jack of all trades headset that responds well to EQ.
How does the MMX 330 compare directly to the PC38X in terms of technical performances with stock tunings? Soundstage, directional imaging, sound-separation, detail/clarity, etc
@@jamesstevens968 I don’t like wireless because I dont enjoy having to charge my headset, I also use my controller wired, so I’ll stick to wired headphones and headsets.
@@jamesstevens968if you're suggesting a wireless headset over wired in terms of sound quality, we really should be taking your suggestions with a grain of salt
Indeed! I was working on something big in support of the G8 video, but it may be slightly delayed, so I will film the review without an extra chapter for now. It’s a solid unit!
Not having a detachable mic is the only thing that concerns me especially reading so many reviews on Amazon about the mic getting loose and not staying in place and they have had this issue with all their goose neck mic models which is crazy for a 300$ headset, I just don’t get why they are so stubborn with this model of mic at beyerdynamic.
I tried these out on Xbox Series X and I haven't been able to find anything that can complete with the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro when it comes to knowing exactly where enemies are and footsteps. I really like the openness and microphone is great but I don't find them as competitive as the Stealths. When playing COD I feel like I have to really concentrate more to hear the footsteps. I've played around with Atmos, Performance mode on and off, Treyarch mix, headphone mix.
Thanks for the great review. Could you confirm what is better for competitive black ops 6 warzone? The 300 or 330 pro. Will also be adding the EQ you created in art of war video. Primarily looking to hear directional foot steps audio, noted you said the 330 was better for call of duty but would more base of the 300 not pin point footsteps better ? Thanks again
How much of your surroundings (like cars, people talking around you and so on) can you hear in the 330Pro compared to the PC38X? Since the 330Pro look more closed back because of the smaller holes
hi maestro of sound, I hope you're doing well! I really value your expertise and detailed reviews, and I wanted to ask if you might consider reviewing the Beyerdynamic Amiron headphones in one of your upcoming tests. I’m particularly interested in seeing how they perform in your comparison table and how they stack up against other models in terms of sound quality, comfort, and build. Additionally, it would be great if you could evaluate them specifically for gaming, especially for titles like Hunt: Showdown and Escape from Tarkov. The Amiron is often described as an excellent all-rounder with warm, precise sound, and it would be fascinating to see if these impressions hold up in your comprehensive testing. Thanks in advance if you’re able to include them in an upcoming review-I'm sure your feedback would be very helpful for many readers. Best regards, Max
These or AR5000 for gaming/music hybrid use? Mic isn't required for me. Music is more EDM focused and I tend to play shooters and single player RPGs! I own the PC38X and am seeking an upgrade if one exists!
I think the AR5000 is more well rounded for music use! This fills in the mids more prominently though, so some vocals will cut through the mix much more forward than the AR5000 does. I lean towards the MMX 330 Pro for gaming, but both are fantastic in both with some flexible EQ options.
@@GadgetryTech I'd 100% agree with this - I have both the Beyer and the Aune and would choose the Aune for Music but the Beyer (just) for gaming. The Aune's are still great for the FPS gaming I've tried though so for me are probably the best all rounder of the two especially as you don't need a mic.
Hello all, I just purchased these after your amazing review. I was wondering if there is an EQ out there for this headset yet or would i have to EQ it myself? I am kind of a noob when it comes to EQs.
any chance to get a review for the SteelSeries Arctis Gamebuds please ?! im curious to know if we get the same support if we choose the xbox version like for other steelseries like the 7x vs 7P!! and how do the compare to other gaming buds like the inzone and pulse... thanks!!!!
I bought the MMX 330 Pro and SoundBlaster GC7 based on your recommendations. I don't know anything about how to EQ. Can you provide that information so I can optimize this setup? Thanks.
@ can we see a video on them soon?👀 Fresh Reviews had very good things to say about the Tea Pro’s , so I was looking for your insight as well. You two are my go-to IEM reviewers. Love the content man!
Hey, Can you tell us how we can do a base eq for the MMX 330 pro It’s a normal cheap sound blaster play 3 enough? Or wich Headphone amplifier i need to pick ? Thx you!
I am 330pro owner and love the Sound. But my problem is also the low depth of the Earpads. I will try the Velour Elite Pads from Dekoni. Problem is that they are made for closed Headphones. We will see.
Yup! I got them recently, but need more time with them. Need to work on finishing the Creative G8 and Astro A50 Gen 5 vid first, then will cover the buds.
Get some Dekoni Suede (normal ones) for nearly all open back beyers and you add a little punch, less siblance and your ears are farther away (and those hold their shape much longer). I dont know exactly, if it has the same influence on these, but I tried it with 880s, my friend with 990s and I am currently waiting for the 1990 mk2.
One hell of a review, Joe. Especially with your work on the impedance measurements. Let me put it out there that I'm looking forward to a review of the DT 1990 Pro MK2 and direct comparisons to the following headphones: DT 1990 Pro MK1, HD490 Pro, and the DT 900 Pro X. Thanks, man.
hello good sir , can you kindly suggest me a choice between Fiio FT1 or aune ar5000 i use an amp and i onlu play single player games open world , rpg that sort of stuff . which one will be better for my use purpose ?
Please help me, I'm looking for a headset for my PS5. I can't connect a DAC/AMP. I'm considering the MMX330 PRO (connected to the controller), A50 gen 5, and Asus Delta 2. I mainly play single-player and non-competitive games. Simultaneous Bluetooth would be a nice addition. Because I have a large head, I need headphones built like a tank. I've broken 8 headsets in the last 3 years.
@GadgetryTech Hello. A bit offtopic but after seeing a clip from you with the review of the Epos H6pro, I bought a pair ( open version) and was wondering if you have some EQ profile for them. Stock I find the sound to be kind of muddy. Using a Fiio e10K dac.
Again great review! I can look at it over and over again haha, Would you do an eq with g8 and mxx 330 pro?? I have both g8 and mmx 330 and also the 300 pro.. i prefer the mmx 330 over the 300. But i will miss the base from the 300 haha. I hope you will do an eq wih the 330 and g8 it would be awesome!
What's the best wireless gaming headset if i want full range with the deepest possible bass, clarity and wonderful scenery. Long battery life, 24-bit and 96k? They have to be closed.
Every video you keep surprising me with your professional reviews and for sure your personal opinions that I do take by for sure. I'm looking for a headset within the price range of Epos H6 Pro Open/Closed and lower, which headset would you recommend for me in that price range for mixed usage and mixed gaming SP/MP games? If your answer is the H6 Pros, would you recommend the open back even if i have a somewhat noisy room?
My current ps5 pro setup: Pc38x + soundblaster x g6 Would any of these options be a decent upgrade or it would be more a sidegrade 1) Audeze Maxwell 2 mmx 330 pro + G8 ( is G8 worth it over G6?) Thx
I have in a past a mmx300, great quality sound and mic ,but max volume so low... i had buy a mixamp ,and volume so low too on ps4/ps5.. my arctis pro wireless is more more max volume and happy with them . I hope this new mmx300 pro have a superior max volume 😅..
That's about as good as it gets, but I would strongly consider the Creative G8 DAC that just came out instead of the Gunnr for PS5. Mainly because it has 10 band EQ support, and I think this will have a big impact on enjoyment for mixed games and even competitive FPS. Anything around this is basically personal preference. The Aune AR5000 + Meze Boom Mic + Creative G8 is another good option to consider.
Model one is more comfortable for sure and has a ton of bass, which some people love. These sound much more neutral, but have a more sensitive mic and have been a little more effective for me in FPS without any form of EQ.
@GadgetryTech thank you! I hope you see this but I was wondering what wired headset you recommend for shooters. I'm currently using the Steelseries Arctis Nova pro WIRED. I'm planning on still using the Gamedac and sonar.
Wireless nova pro wireless audeze maxwell I've regret buying them i haven't used them for 8 months they been sitting in my closet there a joke for gaming there too too too heavy for every day usage especially if you play 6 to 8 hours every every day and there not comfy there too bulky stay safe and happy gaming to all
Haha I give everything a fair shot when I can! The FT3 is still an awesome headphone, don't question it at all! I'll have an FT3 vs FT5 video coming in the pipeline soon, but the FT3 is great.
Fiio ft3 headphones are boring they lack in bass these are much funner in games because they have more bass ive had the closed back returned them kind of too much bass not rely ballance. These open back are the same headphones but a little open hopefully they might be more balanced same drivers but why go wired nova pro wireless are my daily driver and im on console waiting for the ps5 pro got about few days yet cant wait stay safe and happy gaming to all.
I wish these MMX top tier headsets had the detatchable mics and two sets of cables just like the MMX100/150 have. I mean, you spend $300 and you're stuck with a long-ass cable and trrs adapter if you wan't to plug it into your console controller wtf is this
Couldn’t agree more not having a detachable mic is the only thing that concerns me especially reading so many reviews on Amazon about the mic getting loose and not staying in place and they have had this issue with all their goose neck mic models which is crazy for a 300$ headset, I just don’t get why they are so stubborn with this model of mic at beyerdynamic.
BD us getting way to comfortable with these crazy price hikes. Lets see how that works out with sales numbers.. If they hit the market at $250 maybe a deal. But then theres the new LE's
@ I liked how the 330 fit a little more snug on my head compared to how loose the AR5000 is. They both sound amazing. Weird I found the 330 way more comfortable than the 300 pro. The pads were softer and less clamp force.
I was just deciding between Aune AR5000 + ARU1 Dongle DAC cable, Linsoul HarmonicDyne Zeus Elite + ARU1 Dongle DAC cable to upgrade the Corsair Virtuoso Pro (I have a separate microphone but I'm happy to have it) and after seeing this I have another very likely candidate, this MMX 330 Pro. I use them for everything and I would also like to use them with my mobile phone (Vivo X100 Ultra) with the Aune ARU1 DAC Dongle. Can anyone help me? Especially if you know the 3 options. I would really appreciate it.
@@albi_rm The AR5000 actually reminded me of the harmonic dyne zeus elites straight away when I put them on, but i'd give the edge to harmonic dyne zeus elite because of the soundstage on the AR5000 to me sounds "close". Like a little too intimate. They're mid forward, but they sound really good with vocals but lacks sparkle in the treble which can be perceived as having a lack of resolve or resolution.
@@TreSwayy Thank you very much, then it would be between the HarmonicDyne Zeus Elite and the Beyerdynamic MMX 330 Pro. I'm also waiting for the analysis of the new Aune SR7000, although they are a bit out of my budget and I don't usually like closed headphones. I still have time until the Black Friday.
I love reviews 4 gaming but never go cable again ♥️ wireless. After 50+ headsets 4 now Sony pulse elite I love the sound amazing!! and no disconnect I found the Solution !! Love your videos very informative analysis and more thx Joe
Beyer really disappoints me with the comfort options. I'm a tall person & with me naturally having a bigger head/ears I can't ever wear them. Had a DT880 for a short time and immediately sold them. They should offer some bigger/thicker stock pads.
Some of their other models have pads that are a little thicker, but it does affect the sound quality. The DT 700 Pro X for example have big thick pads. It would be nice though, I agree, for a thick pad option for the MMX lineup.
@ in my experience with in line controls, especially ones with a volume wheel, end up failing over time or even cause a channel imbalance at certain volumes.
Joe!!! Wow, I’ve never seen this kind of cable set up before, 1 dual 3.5 combo into 1. How does that affect noise pass through for overall sound quality? I’m so used to just the standard 3.5 from headset without multiple connections
I'd stay FAR away. Just like the previous MMX's the mic build is of poor quality, after you adjust it for a little while (mine wasn't even a couple months old) it just flopped down and can no longer stay up close to my mouth. Very very common quality issue. You've been warned people !
@@audie-cashstack-uk4881 You have no idea why people bother with an approach that gives them the convenience of being mobile with similarly great sound quality?
ive had the mmx 300 closed back returned them because didn't seem to balanced but they where fun these mmx 330 are basically the same headphones same stellar 45 driver but the mmx 330 are little more open hopefully they wont be so congested like your in a vacuum maybe more balanced but why go wired when you can go wireless nova pro wireless they been my daily driver waiting for the ps5 pro got a few more days cant wait stay safe and happy gaming to all.
I feel like I'm going to audio school with every one of these new videos, and it's freaking awesome.
Thanks so much!
Lol. Yea right. Joe breaks it completely down in a way that also sucks you into watching the whole video🤙
Mic quality shouldn’t be an issue these days. The mic on this is superb
Yeah I love it.
I bought this as a competitive gamer and I couldn't be happier. One additional benefit of the open design is that I can hear myself speak... like having natural sidetone. Instead of hearing yourself via the mic with closed headsets with sidetone. It's a relief!

Thanks in advance if you’re able to include them in an upcoming review-I'm sure your feedback would be very helpful for many readers.
Best regards,
Max
Must ask. Two different beasts here, but all in on a wired MMX 300 Pro at 430$ (cnd) or I wait for a sale on the Astro A50 Gen 5?
These or AR5000 for gaming/music hybrid use? Mic isn't required for me. Music is more EDM focused and I tend to play shooters and single player RPGs! I own the PC38X and am seeking an upgrade if one exists!
I think the AR5000 is more well rounded for music use! This fills in the mids more prominently though, so some vocals will cut through the mix much more forward than the AR5000 does. I lean towards the MMX 330 Pro for gaming, but both are fantastic in both with some flexible EQ options.
@@GadgetryTech Thank you for your reply! I find your videos to be really helpful but also fun to watch!
@@GadgetryTech I'd 100% agree with this - I have both the Beyer and the Aune and would choose the Aune for Music but the Beyer (just) for gaming. The Aune's are still great for the FPS gaming I've tried though so for me are probably the best all rounder of the two especially as you don't need a mic.
Would you suggest snatching these at 250$ or going hd6xx plus a separate mic (ends up being a little more).
Hello all, I just purchased these after your amazing review. I was wondering if there is an EQ out there for this headset yet or would i have to EQ it myself? I am kind of a noob when it comes to EQs.
This video is as timely as it gets
any chance to get a review for the SteelSeries Arctis Gamebuds please ?! im curious to know if we get the same support if we choose the xbox version like for other steelseries like the 7x vs 7P!!
and how do the compare to other gaming buds like the inzone and pulse... thanks!!!!
Hello. When are the 900 pro x review coming?😊
I bought the MMX 330 Pro and SoundBlaster GC7 based on your recommendations. I don't know anything about how to EQ. Can you provide that information so I can optimize this setup? Thanks.
PC38x clamping force lessens over time as you wear it, just needs to be broken in a bit.
Hey GadgetryTech! , a review on the Yanyin Canon II and The new Xenns Magrird Tea Pro would be awesome!
@@holdenruluked haha I actually have a Canon II and absolutely love it! Not sure I’ll be able to for the Tea Pro on but the Cannon II is fantastic
@ can we see a video on them soon?👀 Fresh Reviews had very good things to say about the Tea Pro’s , so I was looking for your insight as well. You two are my go-to IEM reviewers. Love the content man!
how is the Asus? or did you have to return it? did you give it any more testing or use?
Hey,
Can you tell us how we can do a base eq for the MMX 330 pro
It’s a normal cheap sound blaster play 3 enough?
Or wich Headphone amplifier i need to pick ?
Thx you!
I am 330pro owner and love the Sound. But my problem is also the low depth of the Earpads. I will try the Velour Elite Pads from Dekoni. Problem is that they are made for closed Headphones. We will see.
Any plans to review the new
Steelseries arctis gamebuds?
Yup! I got them recently, but need more time with them. Need to work on finishing the Creative G8 and Astro A50 Gen 5 vid first, then will cover the buds.
Get some Dekoni Suede (normal ones) for nearly all open back beyers and you add a little punch, less siblance and your ears are farther away (and those hold their shape much longer). I dont know exactly, if it has the same influence on these, but I tried it with 880s, my friend with 990s and I am currently waiting for the 1990 mk2.
One hell of a review, Joe. Especially with your work on the impedance measurements.
Let me put it out there that I'm looking forward to a review of the DT 1990 Pro MK2 and direct comparisons to the following headphones: DT 1990 Pro MK1, HD490 Pro, and the DT 900 Pro X.
Thanks, man.
a dt1990 mk2 review would be tight
Do they include a 1\4 adapter?
hello good sir , can you kindly suggest me a choice between Fiio FT1 or aune ar5000
i use an amp and i onlu play single player games open world , rpg that sort of stuff .
which one will be better for my use purpose ?
Please teach me how to use noise supression software on the Xbox.
Please help me, I'm looking for a headset for my PS5. I can't connect a DAC/AMP. I'm considering the MMX330 PRO (connected to the controller), A50 gen 5, and Asus Delta 2. I mainly play single-player and non-competitive games. Simultaneous Bluetooth would be a nice addition. Because I have a large head, I need headphones built like a tank. I've broken 8 headsets in the last 3 years.
@GadgetryTech Hello. A bit offtopic but after seeing a clip from you with the review of the Epos H6pro, I bought a pair ( open version) and was wondering if you have some EQ profile for them. Stock I find the sound to be kind of muddy. Using a Fiio e10K dac.
Any plans for Counter-strike 2 audio eq/settings?
I 2nd this!!!!!
Again great review! I can look at it over and over again haha,
Would you do an eq with g8 and mxx 330 pro??
I have both g8 and mmx 330 and also the 300 pro.. i prefer the mmx 330 over the 300. But i will miss the base from the 300 haha.
I hope you will do an eq wih the 330 and g8 it would be awesome!
What's the best wireless gaming headset if i want full range with the deepest possible bass, clarity and wonderful scenery. Long battery life, 24-bit and 96k? They have to be closed.
No? Folish of me to think i would get an answer about headphones in a channel like this.
@@Mroberoendeyou disqualified yourself asking for a wireless xD
Can you use the cable and mic on a DT 700 Pro X or 1990 mk2?
how does it perform compared to HD560S?
Every video you keep surprising me with your professional reviews and for sure your personal opinions that I do take by for sure.
I'm looking for a headset within the price range of Epos H6 Pro Open/Closed and lower, which headset would you recommend for me in that price range for mixed usage and mixed gaming SP/MP games?
If your answer is the H6 Pros, would you recommend the open back even if i have a somewhat noisy room?
Would love a comparison with the LCD GX
thats a $800 headphone lol. Im sure the lcd sounds better but its heavy as hell
@GadgetryTech What do you think about hd 560s vs mmx 330 pro vs hd 490 pro for fps games and which amp/dac you recommend for ps5 ?
My current ps5 pro setup:
Pc38x + soundblaster x g6
Would any of these options be a decent upgrade or it would be more a sidegrade
1) Audeze Maxwell
2 mmx 330 pro + G8 ( is G8 worth it over G6?)
Thx
Hi Joe, Any idea when your Kraken V4 Pro review is going to drop?
I have in a past a mmx300, great quality sound and mic ,but max volume so low... i had buy a mixamp ,and volume so low too on ps4/ps5.. my arctis pro wireless is more more max volume and happy with them . I hope this new mmx300 pro have a superior max volume 😅..
Instead of buying say the new Schiit Gunnr and a 330+ headset for PS5 for example, is there a better option for the 560+ it would cost?
That's about as good as it gets, but I would strongly consider the Creative G8 DAC that just came out instead of the Gunnr for PS5. Mainly because it has 10 band EQ support, and I think this will have a big impact on enjoyment for mixed games and even competitive FPS. Anything around this is basically personal preference. The Aune AR5000 + Meze Boom Mic + Creative G8 is another good option to consider.
ive had the mmx 300 with the gc7 sound blaster . But why go wired when you can go wireless nova pro wireless.
@@GadgetryTech Have that setup on PS5 and also the Beyer MMX330. G8 on PS5 is great, provided USB1 input is used.
what about these vs the maxwells?
Will you review SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds?
These or the VZR Model One?
Model one is more comfortable for sure and has a ton of bass, which some people love. These sound much more neutral, but have a more sensitive mic and have been a little more effective for me in FPS without any form of EQ.
@GadgetryTech thank you! I hope you see this but I was wondering what wired headset you recommend for shooters. I'm currently using the Steelseries Arctis Nova pro WIRED. I'm planning on still using the Gamedac and sonar.
Is there any reason other than the mic to not just get the new 990s?
There is no new 990
What do you think of these Beyerdynamic vs the Epos H6pro? Which do you think has better positioning for Call of Duty?
These seem to perform better for me (fairly consistently) than the H6 Pro open and closed models in CoD. H6 is still great for the money though
@ thanks bro cheers from Panamá 🇵🇦
Great video man !! For cs2 you prefer this or HD490pro?
Anyone have an opinion on this?
Apos X audio-technica or mmx 330 pro?
I'm very interested in what Joe has to say about the Apos x ATH R70x Refine. Especially vs gaming headsets today that he has reviewed.
the APOS will be better for sure. That is an entry level audiophile headset.
What kind of dac/amp were you using when testing the mic ?
Sound Blaster G8
Love my 900 pro x
These VS Maxwell if I am NOT using an amp? Which one to get?
Wireless nova pro wireless audeze maxwell I've regret buying them i haven't used them for 8 months they been sitting in my closet there a joke for gaming there too too too heavy for every day usage especially if you play 6 to 8 hours every every day and there not comfy there too bulky stay safe and happy gaming to all
@jamesstevens968 can I get ur audeze maxwell 😅
wireless option ?
I wasn’t sure you would bother after the closed back review THESE ARE MAKING ME QUESTION MY FIIO FT3 purchase
Haha I give everything a fair shot when I can! The FT3 is still an awesome headphone, don't question it at all! I'll have an FT3 vs FT5 video coming in the pipeline soon, but the FT3 is great.
Fiio ft3 headphones are boring they lack in bass these are much funner in games because they have more bass ive had the closed back returned them kind of too much bass not rely ballance. These open back are the same headphones but a little open hopefully they might be more balanced same drivers but why go wired nova pro wireless are my daily driver and im on console waiting for the ps5 pro got about few days yet cant wait stay safe and happy gaming to all.
Anyone who has 330 with glasses, after a few hours does it get painful or uncomfortable?
How does it compare to Fiio ft1?
These are ft3 level not ft1 next level gear
I wish these MMX top tier headsets had the detatchable mics and two sets of cables just like the MMX100/150 have. I mean, you spend $300 and you're stuck with a long-ass cable and trrs adapter if you wan't to plug it into your console controller wtf is this
Couldn’t agree more not having a detachable mic is the only thing that concerns me especially reading so many reviews on Amazon about the mic getting loose and not staying in place and they have had this issue with all their goose neck mic models which is crazy for a 300$ headset, I just don’t get why they are so stubborn with this model of mic at beyerdynamic.
BD us getting way to comfortable with these crazy price hikes.
Lets see how that works out with sales numbers..
If they hit the market at $250 maybe a deal. But then theres the new LE's
These are my new favorite wired, took the throne from the AR5000 🙌🏻
Wow that’s big praise!!
@ I liked how the 330 fit a little more snug on my head compared to how loose the AR5000 is. They both sound amazing. Weird I found the 330 way more comfortable than the 300 pro. The pads were softer and less clamp force.
I was just deciding between Aune AR5000 + ARU1 Dongle DAC cable, Linsoul HarmonicDyne Zeus Elite + ARU1 Dongle DAC cable to upgrade the Corsair Virtuoso Pro (I have a separate microphone but I'm happy to have it) and after seeing this I have another very likely candidate, this MMX 330 Pro.
I use them for everything and I would also like to use them with my mobile phone (Vivo X100 Ultra) with the Aune ARU1 DAC Dongle. Can anyone help me? Especially if you know the 3 options. I would really appreciate it.
@@albi_rm The AR5000 actually reminded me of the harmonic dyne zeus elites straight away when I put them on, but i'd give the edge to harmonic dyne zeus elite because of the soundstage on the AR5000 to me sounds "close". Like a little too intimate. They're mid forward, but they sound really good with vocals but lacks sparkle in the treble which can be perceived as having a lack of resolve or resolution.
@@TreSwayy Thank you very much, then it would be between the HarmonicDyne Zeus Elite and the Beyerdynamic MMX 330 Pro.
I'm also waiting for the analysis of the new Aune SR7000, although they are a bit out of my budget and I don't usually like closed headphones. I still have time until the Black Friday.
W video and thumbnail
I love reviews 4 gaming but never go cable again ♥️ wireless.
After 50+ headsets 4 now Sony pulse elite I love the sound amazing!! and no disconnect I found the Solution !! Love your videos very informative analysis and more thx Joe
You found the solution to the disconnect issue? What was it?
10/10 thumbnail lol.
Beyer really disappoints me with the comfort options. I'm a tall person & with me naturally having a bigger head/ears I can't ever wear them.
Had a DT880 for a short time and immediately sold them. They should offer some bigger/thicker stock pads.
Some of their other models have pads that are a little thicker, but it does affect the sound quality. The DT 700 Pro X for example have big thick pads. It would be nice though, I agree, for a thick pad option for the MMX lineup.
I just really wish they would include a cable that doesn’t have any inline controls.
Just curious, how come?
I currently run Sennheiser HD560S and a sep mic and I wish sometimes I could just push a button to mute my mic
@ in my experience with in line controls, especially ones with a volume wheel, end up failing over time or even cause a channel imbalance at certain volumes.
Joe!!! Wow, I’ve never seen this kind of cable set up before, 1 dual 3.5 combo into 1. How does that affect noise pass through for overall sound quality? I’m so used to just the standard 3.5 from headset without multiple connections
Put the phone on airplane mode I wanna watch Joe's new video!
I'd stay FAR away. Just like the previous MMX's the mic build is of poor quality, after you adjust it for a little while (mine wasn't even a couple months old) it just flopped down and can no longer stay up close to my mouth. Very very common quality issue. You've been warned people !
"It doesn't really want to listen to you" 😂🥰
Imo they all should focus on wireless technology
I would always prefer to have both! Different strokes
I wear headphones for a reason that reason is sound and latency I have no idea why people bother with wireless that also breaks easily
@@audie-cashstack-uk4881 You have no idea why people bother with an approach that gives them the convenience of being mobile with similarly great sound quality?
The Mic not being detachable is a L
Can you hear yourself talking or it's like closed back
It’s open back. You hear everything
dude you look like joe budden in the thumbnail
For Gaming ist the 330 pro better
ive had the mmx 300 closed back returned them because didn't seem to balanced but they where fun these mmx 330 are basically the same headphones same stellar 45 driver but the mmx 330 are little more open hopefully they wont be so congested like your in a vacuum maybe more balanced but why go wired when you can go wireless nova pro wireless they been my daily driver waiting for the ps5 pro got a few more days cant wait stay safe and happy gaming to all.
Closed backs have that vacuum congested sound.
This is the way #Mando
