Should be very expensive but what people look for in a quality headset!
Should go great with my new prelude
That looks pretty good. Still probably won't beat an Audio Technica set with a mic mod, for long term comfort.
I've heard that this model (which is the same as a DT770-DT880-DT990) and the audio-technicas are about the same in terms of comfort.
those specs look like my 770 pro, and if its the same cups they are comfortable and i can wear them all day
lol@sig zanza!
Hopefully they'll put out a non usb (skip the x-fi) version. I'm diggin' the new look tho. They should look into a Lan Party edition. :D
I am pretty sure the analog cables plug into the usb device so you can use them both ways

it says 3.5mm on both the mic and headphones, and a usb adapter so i doubt that it is needed
and what is this mic mod, is it like an adhesive backing on a swivel mic
Damn...now I'm tempted. :(
Any way that you can mod up a small mic to fit on there. I have seen it done, but I don't remember where.Quote:

that 2nd one is pimp

My little Zalman ZM1 mic's crying right now.
Beyer is getting into gaming headsets!?! SWEET!!
the big difference is that these new ones are 32 ohm impedence...which means no amp req'd.Quote:
which is the same as a DT770-DT880-DT990
Which leaves me to wonder how they will sound. I guess there is a good chance they will be using completely different drivers from their Pro line because of the impedance, but my money says they sound better than most, if not all, gaming headsets. I still think a mid-fi or hi-fi set of cans with a separate mic would yield better results, especially for music and portability. You don't even have to mod a microphone to a pair of headsets because you can just buy a decent desktop microphone and yield the same results. By desktop microphone I mean one such as this: http://www.shopbot.ca/p-14570.htmlQuote:

True but there are desktop mics that fair very well. I actually use my speakers and I have my Sennheiser PC161 headset that I wear around my neck so I can use the mic on it.
i also have a mic from a cheepo headset that came free with bf2 that i rarely use but it works fine
What do you guys think the expected price will be?
ide say $200 since i got my 770 pro for $150 out the door at gc but it was yellow tagged so ide imagine that would mean probly $300 retail to be realistic (or more since the euro keeps going past the $)
my Sony mdr-v700 broke, which i thought were my wall hacks for ears...now im looking to buy headphones to replace them and mmx 300 sounds ideal,Quote:

Thanks in advance...
$440 is the retail price. BD just got them in and no resellers yet.
I should have a set in the next couple of weeks.
I just use a desktop MIC with my 770 Pro and 80 is fine for me. Get the new "Cloverfield" Demo? It might be a long time before I dump my X-Fi. This is a New (Godzilla like) Monster movie. They have a Site (01-18-08.com) with Pics and after 6 mins the Monster's Roar comes out of No Where:eek: Caught me wayyyy of guard LOL! I forgot I was wearing my Cans.
I also still have a good appreciation for my old Philips HP890's but they don't have the BA-Ba-BASS! Like the DT770's:)
How much are we talking when this thing releases??
Trailer or...Quote:

See what all the people spending money on Baracuda did? This is a Moded X-Fi Elite Pro. Regular Newegg users get a product code and get to save $100 making the total price $139 for the Cans and the Card. I just bought cans and I can't use my I/O Drive or I'd be on it.
Hardware-accelerated game sound plus X-RAM
Brand Creative
Model 53SB000003000
Audio core
Audio Chipset X-Fi
Channels 7.1
Sample Rate 192KHz
Digital Audio 24-bit
SNR 116dB
This actually looks promising coming from a quality headphone company.
The price is ridiculous though.
Donnie...
Where can I find this 6min trailer? Also, is there a coupon code for that egg deal or what? And modded? Sorry for all the q's. :D
edit: Wow! Added coupon code: EMC1206XMDE01 and it's $146.53 shipped!
Slaps self on the head, sorry I forgot the code.Quote:

Regularly priced at $400 plus shipping. PM Me and I will give you the info to get them for $300 plus shipping from beyerdynamic directly. Only 16 left in stock. And this deal is only available until the end of the year.
I am going to post this in hot deals as well.

That's the Beyer DT770 Pro which has been modded with a separate mic. Usually around $200 but you can find barely used pairs around $120 shipped at head-fi. That's where I've purchased my SR225's and Gilmore Lite headphone amp for ridiculously low prices. My amp still has warranty on it and the SR225's were just a month old.
Lots of other fantastic options out there for gaming BTW. If you do decide on the DT770's make sure to get the Pro 80ohm version unless you have a headphone amp. The 250ohm version will require one and is also more expensive. Sound quality is nearly the same.
Don't know if that is such a great deal or not. I got my Beyer DT770 Pro 80's for a little over $150 shipped. These were NiB BTW, not used.Quote:

Donnie not everyone is great at taking apart a lighter , breaking apart a mic and then making a custom clamp to attach a mic to a pair of headphones and using that daily as a headset.
I cannot say that these are great because no one else has them, I am going on reputation alone .... As soon as I get them I wil post. But when talking to the US Consumer and Aviation Sales Manager he told me to let my friends know that until the end of the holidays he will offer them the same price that was offered to me for basically harrassing him for 4 months. This is directly from beyer not through me at all. I just have to give you some of my personal information and thats why I don't want to post it in the thread.
For the record, I can't perform that Mod either, I just said it was nice. Thank you very much for the great info.:up: There are very nice inexpensive NC Desktop Boom MIC's as well.Quote:

I agree, Beyerdynamics has a very good rep. The MIC is the only thing I'm curious about, I love my cans.
2000army, thanks for info
Looking forward for the pictures...
i probably will pull a trigger and get one of those as well after seeing some pictures,
if you could take some pictures headset and headset's USB device and more info of how its get recognized by the OS will be greatly appreciated[get information for the laptop users]!!
Also what type of wire mmx 300 has - is it straight or coiled?!
It's got USB plug? USB to mini or mini to USB...looking forward to your impressions 2000army! I've already got a little PIMETA, so I don't really need the amp w/ the Headzone game model.
its 1/8th of an inch to usb adn u can remove the usb look at their site
MMX 300
USB Converter:
Connection PC/MAC.......................1 x USB Type A(M)
Cable length.................................1.5 m
Audio connections.........................2 x 3.5 mm stereo jacks
Operating systems.........................Windows®, MAC
Dimensions l x w x h.......................76 x 30 x 16 mm
Weight incl. cable..........................45 g
I'd rather connect them straight to a Prelude or an Elite Pro. Even the X-FI Xtreme Music or Gamer crushes USB sound wise. That is unless you have expensive Hi-Fi USB/DACs LOL!

Yet another option
http://www.schooloutfitters.com/cata...cts_id/PRO3843
oooh cool... i think i may pick up one of those.
That sure beats wearing another headset around my neck when I am wearing headphones to begin with.....
I remember there was a another 12" Goose Neck mic that was meant to stick on a CFT. In the old days, guys stuck these to the side of their cans for less restricted movement.Quote:

If you have the cash I recommend it 110%
Still liking my DT-770 as well:)Quote:

I was using the barracuda Headsets that were 5.1 but they broke after 7 months.
I am hearing alot of people say not to buy 5.1 type headsets, I just really want a nice pair of headsets for gaming, where i can tell what direction noises are coming from.
I don't play FPS type games just MMO's but i do like to know where sounds are coming from and which direction, I played on WOW on pvp servers and plan on doing so with AOC as well, So it would be nice to know, if someone is casting a spell at me, which direction it came from.
I only play games, nothing else, no movies or music on my PC just gaming and mainly just a MMO, I use the X-Fi xtreme gamer card with my setup.
I can get these HEadsets on E-bay for 149.99 and 5 bucks to ship, so if you all think i should get them, please tell me the exact model you would say i need.
All help would be appreciated, i was interested in the dt770s because they are closed cans and that is what i am looking for, I don't have a amp and really don't want to spend a ton more cash to get a amp, And i heard the headsets don't need it.
We'll be awaiting your impressions after pitching the toys. Gaming must be closed, anyone who tells you otherwise does not compete. The Beyer's are like wall hacks for your ears as said before on many a forum by many a head-fier. :D
Headsets are nice and would be nice to have everything in one package as opposed to mods, etc. Some Beyer 80ohm and a USB mic might be quite a bit less than this and still worthwhile.
hey mate got any link to this mic mod?Quote:

very torn between the mmx 330 or some dt 770, for half the price :( Its an expensive microphone but I much prefer the newer look... or even the dt770 2005. Are you driving the mmx 300 directly off your prelude? I have the same card.
Nox
from what i seen as far as the net goes, the mmx 300 was near 500.00 that's to much for me, have been thinking of the dt770 pro/ 80 ohms myself, but, i really don't know how good they actually are as far as games. I just want to be able to tell what sounds are coming from which direction, yet i haven't really heard anyone state how great they are in that matter.
in the UK, the 300's are a bit over £200, and the dt770 pro's can be found for around £90-100.
Nox
dt770pros 80 ohms are awesome for everything, i game on them ALOT

Note. That Mic on the MMX300 is supposed to be of higher quality as well. That's one of the reasons some of us asked for a review from the owner of the cans:up: The mod is useless if a low quality Mic is used.
so could i do the same thing with my ad900's?Quote:

Down the road maybe for xmas or something i look into the mmx version.
I really don't need a mic, GF don't like me talking much on the net, so i would be good just for the cans for now.
Thanks for the info about the cans.
I paid $300 for the MMX300's from beyer directly ...if you are interested PM me and I'll get you the person I talked to's email addy. He might do the same price for you.
For the other question yes the Prelude is the only thing driving these.
can anyone link me to the ad900 mic mod
Just got my set about 10 minutes ago.......un boxed jacked in and woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
I am in listening heave and eager to give these a test run on a few games.
The mic I wanted for my DT770's specs. From the last link I gave.Quote:

Any reputable online dealers in USA?

The zalman clip-on seems popular. I use something similar to this. I just put it around my neck, upside down (so the mic is on the right and pointing toward my mouth).

I tend to like mashups lately so those with deep bass excel with this headphone.
Gaming-wise I love the footsteps and that "Huh?" sound from RainbowSix Black Thorn...Ravenshield will get installed again also, once I find my key number...I would go back to DOOM3/F.E.A.R. but frankly I'm too chicken-S to play the game all over again...
I just got a problem with the tightness of the fit...I've been trying to stretch it on its packaging box 2-days on and 2-days off...if there is another way I'd appreciate it.
thanks for everyone here:up:
If they have the same ear muff arrangement as the DT108 or 109's, you won't get much better anywhere.Quote:

Their extra clarity is amazing; the sound stage, something cheap headphones completely lack, add an extra dimension to music; and their elevated bass response makes these cans premier for gaming. Highly recommend at $150. I'll be doing the mic mod soon :up:
