Gaming: Latest Beyerdynamic Mmx 150 Wireless Gaming Headset Review 2026

While some of the chassis details are a little disappointing, there's no denying that the Beyerdynamic MMX 150 is a great-sounding, super-comfortable gaming headset. It's got the sort of sonic chops that'll make many audio enthusiasts very happy—but the limited feature set holds it back from total greatness at this price.

Beyerdynamic is a highly respected name in the audio world, and for good reason. In fact, you'll find the top spot in our best audiophile headphones for gaming guide is taken up by the Beyerdynamic MMX 330 Pro, a wired set that adds a microphone to the company's tried and tested "great drivers, plush earpads" design philosophy, making for an excellent high-end headset option.

Its offerings, however, are not cheap. Enter the Beyerdynamic MMX 150 Wireless, which aims to be a more-reasonably-priced addition to its headset range. It's a $230 wireless gaming headset. This is also, let's face it, not cheap.

However, you do get a selection of Beyerdynamic's hardware highlights for your cash, and that's a pretty good start. Beyond some lovely drivers (I'll be waxing lyrical about those in a moment), you also get a pair of fluffy velour earpads, a well-padded headband, and a proper 2.4 GHz wireless connection, along with a removable "Meta Voice" (whatever that means) microphone. It's also got Bluetooth 5.3 support, so you can take it out into the big wide world as a regular set of headphones. Excellent.

What I'm not particularly convinced by, however, are the concessions to a lower price point found across the chassis design. The outer earcup material feels a little grainy and thin, and the bright orange plastic controls are flimsy. I appreciate a gaming headset that keeps the price down, but for $200+, I'd expect the trimmings to be of a higher quality than this.

I'm also not fond of the large LED ring around the already-luminous volume wheel, which flashes green on occasion to let you know the set's connected. It's very distracting, and while I don't mind a small LED to let me know my headset's on while I rest it atop
