The beyerdynamic MMX 130 Gaming Headset is Here

The open-back sibling to the MMX 100 wireless is available today in Black and Arctic White.

In the past, open-back headsets have mostly been left to audio enthusiasts, but beyerdynamic is aiming the idea squarely at gamers with the MMX 130 wireless. The open-back headset is on sale from today at £109, completing a two-headset launch that began with the closed-back MMX 100 wireless in September.

The beyerdynamic MMX 130 wireless combines a specially tuned, titanium-coated 40mm driver and an open-back design to create a natural, spacious soundstage, rather than isolating you from the room. Soundtracks, ambient sounds and small audio details get more space to breathe, which suits story-driven games, open-world titles, RPGs and simulations where atmosphere matters.

That open design also lets air circulate and heat escape, and with breathable velour ear pads and a weight of 265 grams, the MMX 130 wireless is built to stay comfortable through long sessions. It connects over Bluetooth 6.0, a low-latency USB dongle or a cable, so it works with PCs, consoles, smartphones and handhelds. Battery life is rated at more than 80 hours by beyerdynamic, and call handling, microphone mute and volume controls are built in.

At £109, the MMX 130 wireless sits £20 above the £89 MMX 100 wireless, which has been on sale since 1 September. beyerdynamic is clear that choosing between the two is a matter of listening preference rather than quality: the MMX 100 wireless suits players who want to shut out distractions, while the MMX 130 wireless is for those who want a more open sound.

Both come in Black or Arctic White, and are sold through beyerdynamic’s online shop, Amazon and specialist retailers.
