MMX 330 PRO
OR MMX 300 PRO:
We provide a direct comparison in this blog post.
With the new MMX 330 PRO, we have expanded our headset favourite and top seller MMX 300 PRO with an open design. While the MMX 300 PRO is closed and thus completely isolates ambient noise, we have modified the MMX 330 PRO so that gamers who find it very important to perceive ambient noise during a game will get their money’s worth.
Thanks to the open gaming sound, you will always be one step ahead of your opponents. In this article, you can find out the ways in which the MMX 300 PRO and MMX 330 PRO differ from each other and get all the information you need about the open gaming headset.
INHALTSVERZEICHNIS
Closed or open – what’s the difference?
It’s simple. With closed headphones, the housing is designed in such a way that little or no ambient noise can be heard. In addition, hardly any noise from the headphones reaches the outside. Because of this, care is taken in the development of closed headphones to use sound-absorbing materials.
An open headset, on the other hand, allows you to actively perceive ambient noise. Accordingly, the design of open headphones is characterised by the fact that they have elements that allow the sound to penetrate the housing. This can be achieved through the likes of sound-permeable materials, or through openings, as in the case of the MMX 330 PRO.
Die Antwort ist eigentlich ganz einfach: Bei einem geschlossenen Kopfhörer ist das Gehäuse so verbaut, dass du keine bzw. nur wenige Umgebungsgeräusche wahrnimmst. Zudem gelangen kaum Geräusche vom Kopfhörer nach außen. Bei der Produktion eines geschlossenen Kopfhörers wird also darauf geachtet, schalldämpfende Materialien zu verwenden.
Mit einem offenen Headset kannst du dagegen Umgebungsgeräusche aktiv wahrnehmen. Die Bauform offener Kopfhörer zeichnet sich also durch Elemente aus, die Sound in das Gehäuse eindringen lassen. Dazu gehören zum Beispiel schalldurchlässige Materialien oder Öffnungen, wie sie der MMX 330 PRO aufweist.
MMX 330 PRO vs. MMX 300 PRO
The open design of the MMX 330 PRO allows for the sound to be perceived as more natural, more spacious and particularly well balanced. As a result, acoustic in-game events can be pinpointed immediately. As a closed gaming headset, the MMX 300 PRO offers an immersive gaming experience with a stronger bass response and high sound insulation. One thing that both gaming headsets have in common is their use of the STELLAR.45 driver, which we also integrate into our studio headphones. This unique sound tuning always puts you one step ahead of your fellow players.
Marius, Team Leader in our Research and Development department, also talks about the significant difference between the headsets in a short statement:
“With the MMX 330 PRO, we are expanding our portfolio in the area of high-quality gaming headsets. Having an open counterpart to the popular MMX 300 PRO is something that customers have desired for a long time. Now our customers are free to decide whether they prefer the natural and spatial sound characteristics of the MMX 330 PRO or the powerful and immersive MMX 300 PRO.”

Conclusion
In conclusion, it can be said that the MMX 330 PRO differs from the MMX 300 PRO primarily in terms of its design and the resulting sound profile. As a result, both gaming headsets have their own performance characteristics. While its more open and natural sound makes the MMX 330 PRO ideal for long and immersive gaming sessions, its closed counterpart, the MMX 300 PRO, provides greater shielding from external noise. The choice of one of these headphones therefore depends heavily on the gamer’s individual preferences and the ambient conditions.
