beyerdynamicMMX 150 Over-Ear Closed Gaming Headset with Augmented Mode, Meta Voice Microphone, Excellent Sound for All Gaming Devices, Grey

These are a gaming headset, but all the things that make them great at gaming, makes them great at Zoom calls. They are very comfy and don't get tiring to wear over a long day. In addition, the headphones don't have the skewed sound profile of gaming headsets, so they are ideal to listen to podcasts and music while working.

I absolutely love this headset and do not regret purchasing it one bit.Gaming - Very good directional sound, definitely great for any type of game, I was also able to pick up even the slightest rustling noises that I never noticed before, sounds cliché but I mean it, I didn't know League of Legends brushes made such destinct sounds, it was so satisfying.Music - Yes, yes, yes, I love them, although they might not be the bassiest headphones out there, they have a really great sound which I got used to in around 5 minutes. Excellent for music, just great.The microphone - I had a Blue Yeti Microphone mounted on my desk that took up a good amount of space, I was able to get rid of it because the microphone on this headset is identical if not of better quality. I love it. And hey, it's detachable!Comfort - My ears are kind of big so I definitely felt them hurting a tiny bit after a while and I think the clamping force of the headset is a bit much but manageable for me, it cancels out a lot of noise so for me it's a fair tradeoff.I don't remember what it was called but the option to let noise in is great, I can quickly switch from being fully immersed to casually talking to my siblings, I think the whole volume wheel options are well thought out.Cable - In my opinion, really nice quality and a nice lenght.All in all, great headset - the sound, microphone, excellent. A 4.8/5 for me due to comfort reasons. Considering the price range, it's a steal. Awesome audiophile-esque and gaming mix.

Great sound quality and comfortable to wear.

I ordered it because of the very good reviews on YouTube. I was expecting it to be uncomfortable but not this much...I will give my honest opinion about this headset, so you can decide if you want to buy it or not.ComfortAs I said above, I've seen many people complaining about the comfort and they are rightfully doing so. This headset is probably the most uncomfortable one I have ever tried, and I tried Razer, Logitech, Corsair, EPOS (H6 Pro), Sennheiser, but all of them were much more comfortable. You will definitely feel pain just after a few minutes of wearing them. I tried to wear them for a bit longer, I thought I might get used to them, but no...SoundI tried them in Apex Legends and I can say I had no issues in telling were the enemies were. The sound is amazing, probably the best I have ever heard for FPS games ! I currently use the EPOS H6 Pro and I can really tell a difference between them when it comes to locating enemies. The MMX 150 are considerably better in this aspect.ProsA good thing about it is that you don't need a software for them. Just plug and play.The augmented sound option is great, allowing you to either hear things like doorbell, phone calls, etc. I believe this would give you a nice open back sound atmosphere in games.The quality of the materials they used is great, the headset feels very sturdy, very well made.ConsBot 3.5mm and usb cables are quite short, I would have liked them to be a bit longer.The USB cable has a lot of cable noise, A LOT ! Every time you move around you will hear that noise for sure.With those being said, I will have to return my headset.

My son loves them

Tested these for podcasting where zero latency mic monitoring is essential, and this feature is available on this headset when using the usb interface. But the monitor volume of the mic is insufficient. The mic is designed for speech but not broadcast quality direct due to the design. Disappointing. Probably ok for gaming but that’s it.There are better headsets for podcasting out there and not much more expensive than these.
