Beyerdynamic, the renowned German audio specialist with a century-long legacy in professional sound, has officially released the MMX 230 Wireless, the new flagship in its acclaimed MMX gaming headset series. Following its unveiling at Gamescom 2025 in August, the MMX 230 is now available for purchase, bringing studio-grade audio performance, cutting-edge wireless technology, and premium features tailored for competitive gamers and audiophiles alike.
Priced at an RRP of €249 (including VAT), the MMX 230 Wireless stands out with its blend of high-end technology and thoughtful design. Handcrafted in Germany, it builds on Beyerdynamic’s reputation for pristine sound reproduction, now in a fully wireless package optimized for immersive gaming.
Key Features and Specifications
At the heart of the MMX 230 are 40mm premium dynamic drivers, delivering exceptional stereo width and pinpoint positional accuracy – essential for competitive play where every footstep or gunshot direction can mean victory. The closed-back acoustic design ensures deep, controlled bass while maintaining clarity across the 20 Hz – 20,000 Hz frequency range.
Wireless freedom comes via Bluetooth® 6.0, offering ultra-low latency and an extended range of up to 20 meters. For even tighter performance, a low-latency USB-C dongle provides seamless 2.4 GHz connectivity with minimal delay. Hybrid use is supported, allowing simultaneous Bluetooth and dongle connections.
One of the standout innovations is the replaceable battery, a first for Beyerdynamic gaming headsets. It delivers up to 60 hours of playtime per charge, and swapping in a fresh battery (available separately) eliminates downtime during marathon sessions.
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) creates a fully immersive bubble, blocking out distractions, while the high-quality microphone features Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) for crystal-clear team communication, filtering out background noise effectively.
Comfort is prioritized with a lightweight build at just 320 grams, an ergonomically padded headband, and breathable velour ear pads that are fully replaceable for long-term durability. Available in classic Black or sleek Arctic White, the MMX 230 exudes a professional, understated aesthetic suitable beyond gaming setups.
Additional perks include compatibility with the Beyerdynamic app for customizable EQ presets, sidetone adjustments, and firmware updates. Multi-platform support covers PC, consoles, audio interfaces, and more, with analog and USB audio options for versatility.
Why It Matters for High-End Enthusiasts
In a market flooded with gaming headsets, the MMX 230 Wireless elevates the category by borrowing from Beyerdynamic’s studio heritage. It competes directly with premium offerings like the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro, but distinguishes itself with superior build quality, replaceable components for sustainability, and Bluetooth 6.0 for future-proofing.
For discerning gamers who demand uncompromised audio fidelity, long battery life, and pro-level features without flashy RGB gimmicks, the MMX 230 is a compelling choice in the high-end segment.
The Beyerdynamic MMX 230 Wireless is now available through the official Beyerdynamic online shop, Amazon, and select retailers (initially focused on Europe and Canada, with broader availability expected). Replacement ear pads and batteries can also be ordered separately.
