Beyerdynamic releases its first-ever wireless gaming headset

<p>Beyerdynamic is no stranger to the gaming community, as the company’s wired headsets are regularly seen at professional esports events and the like. However, it’s never released a wireless gaming headset, until now. The company just revealed the <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:;elmt:;cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL25vcnRoLWFtZXJpY2EuYmV5ZXJkeW5hbWljLmNvbS9tbXgtMjAwLXdpcmVsZXNzLmh0bWwiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6IjllZmJhOTY0LTFmYzYtNDU4Ny1hNGZlLTEzNzI5NjRmYThlYyJ9&amp;signature=AQAAAZHeTga1U3UDS7a4hENdt2cZbuPBahP7XbsR41MsThuW&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fnorth-america.beyerdynamic.com%2Fmmx-200-wireless.html" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://north-america.beyerdynamic.com/mmx-200-wireless.html">Beyerdynamic MMX 200[/url] and this headset’s packed with modern features, all without frustrating wires to get in the way.</p>
<p>The company says the MMX 200 offers the “same competitive advantage” of its wired cousins, thanks to 40mm high-performance drivers that provide expanded detail across the entire frequency range. There’s also an integrated digital signal processor (DSP) that promises to add more oomph to the sound, helping to create the “ultimate gaming experience.”</p>
<span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><div id="d14de37cabc7464d8977d856a90a5808"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/H78rFzY_S08?si=jejOUf0uEc_gyO5C" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p>Gaming is more than just listening, however, especially when you’re playing with friends. You also have to trash talk. The MMX 200 features a detachable boom mic with an integrated 9mm condenser capsule that Beyerdynamic says will make listeners think your voice is coming from a podcast studio. That’s quite a lofty promise, as the microphones that typically accompany gaming headsets are, in a word, trash.</p>
<p>Being a wireless headset, connectivity options are extremely important. To that end, the MMX 200 integrates with a wide variety of audio codecs and features Bluetooth 5.3, along with a low-latency wireless adapter. There’s even an interesting hybrid mode that allows the headphones to connect via an analog wired connection and Bluetooth at the same time.</p>
<p>The advertised battery life is certainly impressive, allowing for 35 to 50 hours of use per charge. This metric doesn’t even include idle periods, so the real-world battery life could creep even higher. You can also charge the headset during use, which is always a nice time-saver and a feature more companies should implement. As with most gaming headsets intended for prolonged use, there are some comfort-forward features here, like memory foam padding on the earpads and a light clamping force that shouldn’t squeeze your head like a grape.</p>
<p>All of the components have been designed for self-repair, with replacement parts available. Additionally, Beyerdynamic doesn’t really trade in gimmicks, so there’s no RGB lights or anything like that. The MMX 200 headphones are available today for $250 straight from the company or via <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL2JleWVyZHluYW1pYy1XaXJlbGVzcy1HYW1pbmctSGVhZHNldC1CbGFjay9kcC9CMENHWDdXWFhXLz90YWc9Z2RndDBjLXAtby00cDktMjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6IjllZmJhOTY0LTFmYzYtNDU4Ny1hNGZlLTEzNzI5NjRmYThlYyJ9&amp;signature=AQAAAakwNadLCp_xSVI7MdAtvq_oG1CJxE30FBXwBcbAImMn&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fbeyerdynamic-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-Black%2Fdp%2FB0CGX7WXXW%2F" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.amazon.com/beyerdynamic-Wireless-Gaming-Headset-Black/dp/B0CGX7WXXW/">Amazon[/url].</p>
<p>While this is Beyerdynamic’s first wireless gaming headset, it’s not the company’s first foray into wireless audio. It released <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/beyerdynamic-true-wireless-earbuds-free-byrd-203954272.html">a pair of wireless earbuds[/url] last year, called Free Byrd.</p>
