2. Beyerdynamic MMX-300 Issue
Users of the Beyerdynamic MMX-300 often report poor audio quality. One of the main causes of this issue is the use of outdated drivers. Therefore, you should first check their driver version, then if necessary, download and install the most recent version.
Another possible cause is damaged or poor-quality cables that diminish transmission quality. Examine the condition of your cables and replace them, especially if they are damaged.
Incorrect bass/treble settings on your device can also cause a sound quality issue on your Beyerdynamic MMX-300. You can disable or reset all sound enhancements activated on your device, then enable them one by one to determine the level of improvement your headphones can handle.
3. Beyerdynamic MMX-300 2nd Generation Issue
Several users of the Beyerdynamic MMX-300 2nd Generation complain about a microphone issue. Here are some checks to make before contacting Beyerdynamic’s customer service:
- Ensure the cable is correctly inserted into the jack: unplug the cable, then push it firmly into the jack port.
- Do not use the 6.35 mm jack adapter on a 4-pin cable: this adapter is only compatible with the 3-pin jack.
- Make sure the listening level on your sound settings is sufficient: on your PC, press Win + R, then type the command “mmsys.cpl”. In the “Recording” tab that appears, right-click on the active microphone (the one on the headphones), then go to “Properties”. In the “Level” tab, ensure that the microphone level is high enough, and that the microphone amplifier is at least 10 dB.
- Test your headphones and their microphone on another device: if the microphone works correctly on another device, the problem is definitely on your PC. In this case, perform all the required checks at the level of your PC’s driver and the various settings.

For the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro, the optimal level is +4 dB, which is quite high for professional headphones- Check the wiring: Make sure your headphones are correctly wired and the connections are secure. Ensure that the cable is properly connected to the sound card and audio jacks of your computer. Also, check that the cable is properly connected to the back of the headphones. If the cable is damaged, the sound will be low and of poor quality.
- Adjust the audio settings on your computer: Optimize the sound by adjusting the audio settings on your computer. Ensure that your audio driver is up-to-date and that the volume level in the sound settings is high enough.
5. How to Reset Your Beyerdynamic Headphones?
