Beyerdynamic MMX 2 Headset Review

Audio/Others by stefan @ 2010-10-14

The Beyerdynamic MMX 2 is a high quality stereo headset, which is also very light and comes with a USB adapter that also allows us to mute/unmute the microphone or adjust the volume level. As a bonus, the headset comes also with a 3.5 to 6.35 millimetres jack adapter, so we can connect it to other Hi-Fi equipment like amplifiers or receivers.

Conclusive Thoughts

To test out the headphones, I plugged them in the provided USB adapter; the drivers installed were generic, and no software application was provided by the manufacturer inside the package or on the website. The test computer was an ASUS X55SV laptop. Right from the start, compared to the other headsets I have tested in the past, the sound seemed to me a little more clear and I have ran multiple applications and multimedia content to confirm like games, movie DVDRips, TV shows or DVDs.

 

Regarding the drivers, there are none offered and runs on generic ones; this is basically a good thing because it is more than sure that generic drivers will be also present in future operation systems. One thing that I would have liked this headset to have is an application that could have emulated 5.1 sound environments like we can see at the World of Warcraft Wired or Wireless headsets.

 

It is clear that we cannot get the same spatialization as the 5.1 headsets available on the market, but this product is much lighter and provides very good sound quality. I have tested the microphone in both CounterStrike: Source and Skype; in Skype, we also have the option to do a test call, so I did that too to double check; people were able to hear me clearly, without any hissing or distorsions.

 

Overall, this product impresses us with its quality and simplicity. It can be found on CaseKing for about 69,90 Euros, not the cheapest stereo headset ever, but I could say that you are definitely getting what you are paying for.

 

 

 

I would like to thank again to CaseKing and Beyerdynamic for allow us to test their latest products!
