Wired headsets can feel a little old-fashioned these days. After all, with so many great wireless headset options available, tying yourself to your machine with a cable seems like quite the restriction. Plus, it limits your options as to what role in your life it can provide—plenty of great wireless headsets support Bluetooth as well as RF 2.4 GHz connections, making them perfect for travel, whereas many modern phones don't have 3.5 mm audio out ports anymore.
Still, when it comes to ultimate sound quality, many point to wired headsets as delivering the goods better than their wireless counterparts. That means any wired gaming headset is going to have one main purpose—delivering great audio while you're sitting in front of your PC. And if you're asking $330/€300 for one, like the Beyerdynamic MMX 330 Pro I'm wearing right now, it'd better be something special. I wouldn't normally frontload a review with an overall opinion, but in this case I'll make an exception: This one is special.
