Beyerdynamic is making its first wireless gaming headset, offering a premium $249 set of cans that are compatible with PC, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch consoles via a USB receiver. But instead of opting for a gamer-y aesthetic with vivid colors or showy RGB lighting, thecome in simple black or gray colors , both of which are on sale now from the German manufacturer’s site.
The MMX 200 feature 40mm drivers, a removable boom mic with pop filter, Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity, USB-C charging / wired mode, and a claimed continuous battery life of up to 35 hours. While these fairly pricey headphones don’t support noise cancellation like Sony’s more expensive, the closed-back design of the MMX 200 should offer some isolation from a noisy environment — and it even offers a transparency mode to allow more of your ambient surroundings into the ear cups.
Both black and gray models have just a touch of orange color around the ear cups and on the buttons and dials.Many of us know Beyerdynamic for its popular DT770 Pro wired headphones, which offer a clean sound that’s good enough for some studio audio mixing without spending hundreds. But one of the greatest strengths of those cans are the plush and ultra-comfy ear cups that can be worn for hours on end without much fatigue.
