Amazing,
I ordered these after being disappointed by the Sennheiser PC350 headset. The sound coming out of the PC350s had a kind of plastic-y echo to it, like something you might hear from cheap desktop speakers. But the real problem with them was the mic — it has a high-pass filter to reduce background noise and apparently my voice is too deep for it. I came through sounding clipped and choppy.
I searched around for reviews on the MMX 300s, but they’re hard to find. A friend of mine has the DT 770s and I’ve always liked their sound, so I took a chance and bought these. I’m really glad I did.
First, the mic: The mic on the MMX 300s is extremely sensitive. I’ve had to turn off all software gain and reduce the input volume to avoid blowing my teammates eardrums out, not to mention distorting my voice. Consequently the mic will pick up a bit more noise than the PC350s but at least it will also pick up your voice, and will do an excellent job of it.
As to sound, the MMX 300s blow the PC350s out of the water, so I’ll compare them to my other audiophile quality headphones, the Sennheiser HD600s and Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro.
Both the HD600s and MMX 300s have an amazingly flat frequency response. Both have a very wide, very articulate sound stage. The main difference between the two is in the high end and low end. The MMX 300s have what feels like a lot more bass response. Whereas the HD600s deliver the bass in a clear (some might say clinical) fashion the MMX 300s really let you feel it. The MMX 300s are also a touch on the bright side. Maybe slightly too bright for my taste but they’re getting better as they break in.
Compared to the Super.fi 5 Pros the MMX 300s have improved mid-range response, are again a bit brighter, and deliver a wider sound stage. Bass response feels similar but again the MMX 300s have a more visceral quality to them, probably due to their closed, circumaural design. And while the MMX 300s do deliver a decent amount of noise reduction, they don’t come close to the 26 dB of the Super.fi 5 Pros. This isn’t a bad thing though — if anything the noise reduction of the MMX 300s takes a little getting used to since it causes you to hear your own voice echoing around in your head.
The MMX 300s are a very unforgiving headphone. The quality of your source matters a lot, and they will very clearly let you hear every detail including compression artifacts, distortion and noise. A good headphone amplifier is recommended.
If you’re in the market for an audiophile headset with a great mic, I can’t recommend these enough. Be sure to shop around for the best price though.

|Ultimate consumer headset,
Superior audio compared to the Sennheiser PC350.
The PC350 is more for competitive play, focusing on speech clarity and voice recognition (read: cold, harsh audio signature) while the MMX300 is the overall better headphone (read: natural, full sound).
The MMX300 mic is slightly more noisy than the PC350 mic, but not very noticeable during play.
I own both the PC350 and MMX300. The headsets were auditioned using an ASUS Xonar D2X sound card and the Beyerdynamic USB sound card.

|Forget Gaming, Great for Conference Calls / Skype,
I spend 3-4 hours a day on the phone at minimum and this headset is the deal. First, it completely blocks out noise around you so you can hear clearly the other person. Doesn’t matter if the guy next to you wants to run a chainsaw, you can’t hear it. Second, it is comfortable. No ear pressure, super comfortable. Third, the sound is great..
The microphone is so-so quality, but very decent. I think the microphone doesn’t capture a full range of sound quite as good as some of my other headsets, but then again I am talking on the phone and not performing arts.
The price is a little heavy, but the quality is there. Order it, use it for 30 minutes, and you won’t even remember the cost…

|Don’t buy – a waste of money,
I purchased this item in late December, and after several weeks of regular use it has already broken. The sound quality is good, but that doesn’t matter if the product materials are cheap and not durable. A plastic piece above the ear broke and made it impossible to use. It took over a week, me sending photos, and a handful of email correspondences before the company would agree to repair/replace the product. Even now, I have to pay to ship it back to Turtle Beach and it’s going to take 5-10 business days once they receive it. It seems silly to wait a month and pay $20 to ship a $50 product that I believe is not up to par with others in its category and price range. I would NOT recommend this product, choose another brand.

|Bad Wiring,
The sound has started going out on this headset and I have only had it a month. I have to turn the cable just right to get the sound to come in on the left speaker now, and it has never been dropped or handled roughly. There is no reason for this to be occurring and only means faulty construction. It is comfortable but when sound only comes in through one side they are ultimately useless.
I would not recommend this product to anyone get one that has reliable wiring.

|Probably better to get a different set,
I’ve had two of these in the last year, and within three months use each, both had broken the same piece above the left ear. A screw pulled out and broke off, rendering the left headphone hanging in an extremely uncomfortable and ill-fitting way. When the first one broke, I thought perhaps it was just a bad pair or over-usage. When the second set did the exact same thing, nah, it’s definitely the construction of the headset. A decent set before they break, but they sure don’t last long. I would probably recommend the Razer Carcharias over these.
