Beyerdynamic is adding new models to its gaming headset range, with the MMX 100 and MMX 130 aimed at gamers who want the company’s audio hardware without moving into its more expensive MMX models. The move gives PC and console players more choices as Beyerdynamic continues to build out its gaming portfolio.
The MMX 100 is the more familiar option, using a closed-back design, 40mm dynamic drivers, and an analog connection. It is designed to work with PCs, consoles, and other devices through a 3.5mm connection, while a detachable microphone handles voice communication. Beyerdynamic also includes a volume control and mute switch on the headset for quick adjustments during gameplay. The company lists the MMX 100 at 296 grams, with a 5Hz to 30kHz frequency response.
The headset also focuses on long-session comfort, with padded ear cups and a padded headband. The ear pads, cable, and microphone can be replaced, giving the MMX 100 a more serviceable design than many gaming headsets in the same price range. The MMX 100 is currently listed on Beyerdynamic’s official product pages in black and grey versions.
Beyerdynamic has been building its gaming range around the MMX family for several years. The company previously introduced the MMX 200 wireless with 40mm drivers, a META VOICE microphone, Bluetooth 5.3, and a low-latency wireless mode for PC and console gaming.
For buyers comparing the lineup, the MMX 100 remains focused on users who prefer a wired connection and do not need wireless features. Its 3.5mm connectivity also makes it easy to use with consoles and controllers, while the detachable microphone means it can be removed when the headset is being used for music or general listening.
