beyerdynamic announced two new headsets for gamers:
beyerdynamic is well known to audio enthusiasts, as the German company with its headquarters in Heilbronn is synonymous with perfect sound – made in Germany. The high-tech headsets and the extensive accessories are available at Caseking immediately. beyerdynamic was founded in 1924 and has been producing products for professional audio electronics. Nothing of the ambition of the founder Eugen Beyer has been lost in the last 86 years as the products from beyerdynamic still stand for innovation and the highest quality standards. Numerous TV commentators and pilots place their trust in the accurate playback of the headphones and recording of the microphones employed in the beyerdynamic product range, all of which are made in Germany. Gamers also profit from the extraordinary audio attributes of beyerdynamic, as they are always easily understood and heard clearly, thanks to a the excellent recording quality of the headset microphones with digital noise reduction of the MMX 2, MMX 300 and Headzone Game. The full base of the headsets generate a sensation as if one is right in the middle of the action – the sound was never deeper and the highs never clearer. The entire sound spectrum can not only be savored when playing games, but also when listening to music and during the playback of movies.

beyerdynamic presents the absolute highlight in terms of headsets in form of the Headzone Game, which also offers a decoder station just like the MMX 300 headset. Any stereo headset will be able to perform at its best with the „HBP1” decoder and render the audio environment in surround sound. The HBP1 utilizes not only an amp of the highest quality , but also includes a powerful decoder to transform multichannel inputs.

The advantage over a direct connection to a sound card with its visualizing mechanism lies within the higher audio quality, as the HBP1 has been created specifically for the use with a headset. It also offers a noticeably higher output power, which is especially important when using high-end headsets as they employ high capacity resistors and thus require a capable amp to perform at their best.

The decoder offers two digital inputs (1x optical, 1x coaxial), which allows for the connection of gaming consoles, CD players or other digital sources. If a surround sound format is sent to the amp from such a device, the HBP1 transforms it to offer the best possible playback through a pair of speakers. This effect is virtually indistinguishable from a real surround source.

The top model beyerdynamic MMX 300 presents an ideal source for multimedia and gaming scenarios, which is also available separately without the HBP1 amp. The unboxing of this headset underlines the absolute quality of beyerdynamic products as it ships with ear pieces made of velour and employs real carbon fiber which results in a perfect construction quality. From the first note, it becomes clear that beyerdynamic products do not only impress by flawless construction, but also with impeccable audio attributes.

beyerdynamic bases their standards of audio playback not on an artificial rise and drop of the frequency bands, which is not an unusual practice for the gaming headset market. Maximum neutrality is the most important aspect in their products, which result in an exact and true playback of music, gaming sounds, movies and languages. The user does not have to make any compromises in audio or in comfort, as the MMX 300 holds in place firmly thanks to the excellent cross-beam and does not burden the user even after hours of use. The large and comfortable ear pieces cancel out any surrounding noise allowing the player to concentrate on what happens on the screen.

For those who prefer ear pieces made of real leather or in different colors, beyerdynamic offers additional accessories to customize the MMX 300 to fit the users need perfectly. The long list of accessories includes various ear pieces, carrying cases and microphone covers.

The entry into the audio world of beyerdynamic consists of the MMX 2, which is the current gaming line from the company. The headset also offers an excellent audio experience but is noticeably smaller and lighter than the MMX 300. Even so, the playback and recording capabilities of the MMX 2 are based heavily on that of the professional series products, which translates into an excellent audio performance. The user has the option to connect the MMX 2 using the 3.5 mm cinch cable or the optional USB interface with an integrated sound card.
