Beyerdynamic’s MMX 200 Wireless Gaming Headset is Itching For A Fight With the Audeze Maxwell

Beyerdynamic’s first wireless gaming headset debuts for $249, featuring up to 50 hours of battery life, meta voice microphone and replaceable parts.

And we’re perfectly fine with that. The gaming industry is significantly larger than our little slice of the pie and Sony’s recent acquisition of Audeze is all the proof you need that it has become one of the most logical gateway drugs for the next generation of audiophiles.

High-end headphones and gaming are a match made in heaven and if you think the bean counters at Sony authorized a multi-million dollar acquisition of one of the premier manufacturers of headphones in the world because some executives in Tokyo wanted access to unlimited pairs of LCD-5 headphones — you need to get out and visit your local GameStop or Best Buy to understand just how large of an opportunity this is for manufacturers like Beyerdynamic and Audeze.

The Audeze Maxwell are a fantastic option for those looking to combine gaming and music listening and it should not surprise anyone to learn that gaming headsets have become over 40% of Audeze’s business — which aside from the technology that it has engineered over the past decade, is what attracted Sony’s attention in the first place.

Audeze, however, is not alone in this market.

Beyerdynamic is adding the MMX 200 wireless to its lineup of popular gaming headphones for $249. The debut wireless gaming headset draws on nearly 100 years of Beyerdynamic’s pro-audio experience with headphones and mics – used by some of the most revered professional gamers in history.

Beyerdynamic’s existing MMX lineup of wired gaming headsets provides gamers with studio-level sound for a competitive advantage. MMX 200 offers that same competitive advantage – now in a fully wireless package without compromise.

Wireless Performance

The MMX 200 wireless uses dynamic 40mm high-performance drivers that deliver powerful bass, clear mids, and detailed highs – perfect for recreating every in-game effect with vivid audio playback.

At its core, MMX 200 uses custom-built, sensitive drivers to increase impulse response and detail across the extended frequency range. An integrated digital signal processor (DSP) adds an additional layer of processing to the closed-back headphones, creating an even more powerful sound for the ultimate gaming experience.

A detachable boom mic with an integrated 9mm capsule is included and was designed with an electret condenser capsule to provide higher max sound pressure levels (SPL), wider response, and less noise – all while being more power efficient than other gaming mics.

World-class gamers have relied on classic beyerdynamic studio headphones for years, despite not being purpose-built for gaming,” said beyerdynamic’s CEO Andreas Rapp.

“With MMX 200, we’ve used all of our collective experience and expertise to create a dedicated wireless gaming headset that’s also the perfect companion for gamers while not gaming.”

Connectivity & Comfort

Like gamers, remote and virtual workers rely on constant connectivity to get the job done.

The versatile MMX 200 wireless includes the latest in audio codecs, Bluetooth 5.3, a low-latency wireless adapter, and a Hybrid Mode for simultaneous analog and Bluetooth connection.

The high-quality materials and components, light but sturdy clamping force, and 28mm earpads with memory foam padding were designed specifically for the MMX 200 because typical users spend hours each day wearing them

And, a large capacity battery will keep gamers gaming for more than 35 hours, with real playtime for closer to 40-50 hours, including idle periods.  

MMX 200 wireless can be charged while in use, so it’s always working when you are. The minimalist design and focus on quality audio and connectivity features give gamers and at-home workers exactly what they need to perform at their best – no distracting gimmicks or battery-draining RGB lights. Like the other MMX headphone models, each component – from earpads to mics, battery and cables – is specifically designed to last, and is easily replaceable when the time comes. 

The wireless headphones come with several other dual-purpose features, perfect for both gaming and home-office use. With a single press of the volume wheel, MMX 200 wireless mutes its mic and indicates its status with an LED light on the boom arm. A longer push puts the headset into Augmented Mode (transparency mode), turning the closed-back headphones into an ambient noise-enabled headset, making it comparable to an open-back gaming headset. Pressing the multifunction button once will answer incoming calls while in Bluetooth mode or using the LLWA. Triple pressing the multifunction button switches from LLWA connection to Bluetooth, enabling connectivity with other devices. 

Price & Availability

The all-new Beyerdynamic MMX 200 wireless gaming headset is available starting today in black or grey for $249 at Amazon

    This is not Beyers first gaming headset, they had one with manual bass control ports.
    It’s not even a competition to Maxwells you get 2.4ghz connection for pc / Xbox /PS5 plus Bluetooth and analog.
    Audio passthrough so you can hear the outside world with them at full volume.
    Two different audio bridges one for team chat/music one for game sound/music with individual sound control for each which does not overlap ever.
    On top of massive planar magnetic drivers which produce audiophile sound and massive base.
    Oh and they also have a removable boom mic and built in mics so you can take BT calls while you are listening to music and don’t have your boom mic plugged in.
