beyerdynamic Expands MMX Gaming Lineup With Two New Wireless Models

1 month ago

News, Geek News, Tech News, Trailers / Videos

German audio specialist beyerdynamic is expanding its MMX gaming range with two new wireless headsets: the closed-back MMX 100 wireless and the open-back MMX 130 wireless are both based on the same beyerdynamic audio DNA, representing two different gaming experiences.

Choosing between closed-back and open-back is not a question of quality, but of personal listening preference. The closed-back MMX 100 wireless is designed for gamers who want to minimize distracting ambient noise and focus entirely on the game.

In contrast, the open-back MMX 130 wireless is ideal for those who prefer a more open and spacious sound, allowing them to experience the atmosphere, soundtracks and ambient sounds in greater detail.

With these two models, beyerdynamic is making its audio expertise accessible to an even wider gaming audience. Rather than offering a plethora of unnecessary features and gimmicks, both headsets focus on the essentials: precise sound, high levels of comfort, flexible connectivity, and long-lasting quality.

MMX 100 wireless: Full focus on the game

The MMX 100 wireless combines the benefits of a closed-back gaming headset with precisely tuned studio-inspired sound. Its closed-back design reduces distracting external noise, enhancing the focus during everything from fast-paced multiplayer matches to long gaming sessions. This makes it easier to pinpoint important in-game details. The detachable META VOICE microphone ensures clear, natural voice transmission during voice chat.

The MMX 100 wireless connects seamlessly to PCs, consoles, smartphones and handheld devices via Bluetooth® 6.0, the included low-latency USB dongle or cable. Soft velour ear pads and a lightweight 275-gram design ensure a high level of comfort, even during extended use. The long-lasting battery can be replaced if necessary. Sturdy metal hinges and replaceable components also help to extend the headset’s lifespan.

MMX 130 wireless: More space for the gaming world

Until now, open-back gaming headsets have largely been aimed at audio enthusiasts. With the MMX 130 wireless, beyerdynamic is making the benefits of the open-back design accessible to a wider gaming audience. Rather than isolating the user from the outside world, the open-back design creates a natural, spacious soundstage. Soundtracks, ambient sounds, and subtle audio details have more room to breathe, becoming a central part of the gaming experience.

A specially tuned, titanium-coated 40 mm driver ensures precise and detailed sound reproduction. This makes the MMX 130 wireless ideal for story-driven, open-world and RPG games, as well as simulations – in short, any game where atmosphere, spatial awareness and sound play a key part in the gaming experience.

Meanwhile, the open-back design promotes air circulation and allows heat to dissipate more easily. Combined with specially developed, breathable velour ear pads and a weight of just 265 grams, this ensures an airy, comfortable fit, even during long gaming sessions.

Premiere at gamescom 2026

“With the MMX 100 wireless and MMX 130 wireless, we’re offering gamers not just two more headsets, but two different ways to experience their games,” explains Matthias Heilig, Product Marketing Manager for Gaming at beyerdynamic. “Those looking for focus and isolation will find it in the closed-back MMX 100 wireless. Those who want to experience gaming worlds as naturally and spatially as possible will find an exciting alternative in the open-back MMX 130 wireless.”

At gamescom 2026 in Cologne, where beyerdynamic is the First Presenter at the Indie Arena Booth, the MMX 100 wireless will be unveiled to the public for the first time. Visitors will be able to try out the new headset for the first time at selected stands during the event.

Prices and availability

The MMX 100 wireless will be launched on 1 September 2026 in Black and Arctic White at a recommended retail price of 99 euros (inc. VAT).

The MMX 130 wireless will follow in October 2026, also in Black and Arctic White, at a recommended retail price of 129 euros (incl. VAT).

Both gaming headsets will be available in the beyerdynamic online shop, on Amazon and from specialist retailers from the launch date. Spare parts and ear pads can be reordered separately.

News, Geek News, Tech News

The Sennheiser brand today announces MOMENTUM True Wireless 5, its most advanced true wireless earbuds yet, engineered for an uncompromising listening experience wherever life takes you. Reimagined from the inside-out, they combine intelligent innovation with the inspired engineering of their full-size MOMENTUM 5 Wireless counterpart, bringing flagship performance into a beautifully compact design.

“We set out to bring the larger-than-life sound and connected technology of the MOMENTUM series into a remarkably compact format,” said Frank Foppe, Product Manager. “From its exquisite audio reproduction to the advanced hardware powering it all, MOMENTUM True Wireless 5 represents our most advanced integration of audio technology in an earbud.”

Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 5 pairs signature sound with user-replaceable earbud & case batteries

Key Highlights:

All-new design – Improved comfort, stability, and portability
User-replaceable batteries – Easily refresh your run-time even years from now
Optimized for Dolby Atmos® – Head-tracking unlocks immersive entertainment
Improved voice calls & ANC – Voice accelerometer, expanded mic array, and AI speech enhancement
Bluetooth® 6.0 – Prioritizes fast and stable connections
Smart Control Plus – a new 8-band EQ highlights an assortment of customizable features in the free app

Get Your Sound Revelation
The heart of the earbuds is the same sound-first DNA that powers the recently released fifth-gen MOMENTUM headphones, letting listeners choose their preferred wearing style for listening without compromise. It all starts with the brand’s signature 7mm TrueResponse dynamic transducer, capable of balancing remarkable detail with full-bodied, bass-driven tuning. Meticulously developed at the brand’s production facility in Tullamore, Ireland, each transducer is manufactured and tested for exceptional precision, clarity and dynamics. Bluetooth 6.0 with aptX Adaptive codec support provides stable wireless freedom for a crystal-clear hi-res audio pathway up to 24-bit and 96 kHz, including aptX Lossless for bit-perfect transmission on supported audio sources.

Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 5 sports a top-to-bottom redesign to enhance both portability and function

The bar for acoustic performance is raised once again, highlighted by the revised adaptive hybrid active noise cancellation (ANC) system and automatic anti-wind mode. A redesigned ear tip works in tandem with a dedicated four-microphone array to maximize noise cancelling performance while delivering the series’ most natural-sounding, real-time transparency mode to date. For pristine voice capture, the earbuds engage all eight system sensors—combining six microphones and two bone-conduction voice accelerometers with an AI speech-extraction algorithm to isolate the voice in chaotic environments.

Inheriting the spatial audio prowess of the over-ear model, MOMENTUM True Wireless 5 is fully optimized for Dolby Atmos® with interactive head-tracking capability¹, projecting an immersive, theater-like spatial audio field that you can take anywhere.

Eco-Conscious Endurance
MOMENTUM True Wireless 5 is built to last, introducing a user-replaceable battery system in both the earbuds and wireless charging case, letting users easily refresh the power cells in mere minutes. Sharing the same ethos as the brand’s flagship MOMENTUM 5 headphones, customers can safeguard their technology and retain the earbuds’ longevity far beyond standard battery degradation using only a compact screwdriver.

Designed for all-day listening, the earbuds further improve their endurance over the prior generation with 12 hours of continuous playback per charge, and over two additional replenishments stored in the Qi-enabled wireless charging case for up to 40 total hours of run time. The quick charge capability extends listening up to 1 hour from just an 8-minute top-up.

“Balancing compact size, our signature high-fidelity acoustics, and a replaceable battery is a major breakthrough,” added Lilika Beck, President of Sennheiser Consumer Hearing. “With MOMENTUM True Wireless 5, we are proving that cutting-edge performance does not have to sacrifice longevity.”

Ergonomic Evolution
To achieve their “barely there” fit, the earbud housing features an elegant new aerodynamic silhouette sculpted using data derived from thousands of unique ear models. The earbuds’ fin-less shape was rated more comfortable than the prior generation by 73% of testers, and is rated IP54 for dust, sweat and splash resistance, A micro-perforated acoustic mic plate mitigates wind turbulence, protecting both voice capture and ANC stability from aerodynamic interference. The companion charging case has also been re-engineered with a narrower, pocket-friendly aspect ratio and a low-friction finish for seamless ingress and egress from tight pockets.

Ready for the Future Today
MOMENTUM True Wireless 5 is a connectivity king, bringing a frictionless experience to a wide range of audio sources:

Next-Gen Bluetooth 6.0 with native support for Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, and multipoint switching
Resilient RF Antenna with a selectable “robust mode” designed to maintain rock-solid signal integrity even in crowded RF environments
Powered by Snapdragon Sound™ for bit-perfect, high-resolution wireless streaming up to aptX Lossless, alongside a low-latency mode for pulse-pounding gaming
Smart Control Plus app integration provides an 8-band EQ, prompt-guided interactive Sound Personalization and granular setting customization—doubling as a platform to expand performance capabilities over time

MOMENTUM True Wireless 5 now offers a flagship MOMENTUM listening experience in five different colorways

Pricing and Availability
MOMENTUM True Wireless 5 will be available in five luxurious metallic colorways: Graphite, Cream, Graphite, Copper, Denim, and Lavender. The earbuds will begin shipping on September 3^rd from sennheiser-hearing.com and select retailers at an MSRP of $299.95 USD.

Razer Introduces the Huntsman V3 Pro Low-profile TKL 8KHz

Jerry Paxton

News, Geek News, Peripherals News, Trailers / Videos

Razer™, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today announced the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro Low-profile Tenkeyless 8KHz, the world’s first low-profile analog optical esports keyboard.

Designed with and made for competitive players, the keyboard delivers the speed, precision, and control of Razer’s flagship esports technologies in an ultra-slim form factor built for all-day comfort. It sets the gold standard for low-profile esports gaming keyboards.

Powered by new Razer™ Low-profile Analog Optical Switches, the keyboard combines Rapid Trigger Mode, adjustable actuation, Razer™ Snap Flex, Razer™ Snap Tap, Dual-Keypress Priority, and True 8000 Hz HyperPolling into a design that proves players no longer need to choose between comfort and competitive performance.

“The Huntsman V3 Pro Low-profile Tenkeyless 8KHz takes everything competitive players love about our flagship analog optical switches and brings it into a slimmer, more ergonomic form factor,” said Barrie Ooi, Head of PC Gaming Division at Razer. “For years, low-profile meant trading away performance for comfort. This keyboard ends that trade-off, delivering the speed, control, and precision elite players demand, and it’s already proven itself on the championship stage.”

Built for Pros. Proven by Pros.

Even before launch, the Huntsman V3 Pro Low-profile Tenkeyless 8KHz has already demonstrated its performance at the highest levels of competition.

At BLAST Bounty Season 2, MOUZ’s Lotan “Spinx” Giladi competed using the unreleased keyboard on the way to a championship victory. The tournament concluded with Spinx earning the first HLTV MVP award of his career, early validation that a low-profile gaming keyboard can win at the highest level of competition.

“Low-profile has always felt natural to me. Now I get the speed and precision to compete at the highest level.” — Lotan “Spinx” Giladi, 9-time Counter-Strike Champion.

Esports Performance in a Lower profile.

At the heart of the keyboard are the new Razer™ Low-profile Analog Optical Switches, engineered to deliver the same esports-focused capabilities of Razer’s flagship analog optical platform in a slimmer design.

Supporting 0.1 mm to 2.8 mm adjustable actuation, the switches allow players to tailor key sensitivity to their preferred playstyle. Combined with Rapid Trigger Mode, keys reset instantly based on movement rather than a fixed reset point, enabling faster repeated inputs and greater control during high-intensity gameplay.

The low-profile gaming keyboard design also features a reduced 2.8 mm total key travel, helping minimize finger movement and enabling quicker reactions during competitive play.

Faster Inputs. Greater Control.

The Huntsman V3 Pro Low-profile Tenkeyless 8KHz gaming keyboard is equipped with True 8000 Hz HyperPolling, delivering exceptionally fast communication between keyboard and system for near-zero latency performance.

In testing with all keyboards set to 0.1 mm actuation, the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro Low-profile Tenkeyless 8KHz achieved a 0.39 ms average latency, a 52% advantage over the nearest competing keyboard tested^[1].

Every Input, a Competitive Advantage.

First introduced with the Huntsman V3 HE Magnetic 8KHz line, Advanced Input Control now comes to the Huntsman V3 Pro Low-profile Tenkeyless 8KHz, extending Razer’s latest competitive gaming technologies to players who prefer a low-profile form factor.

Razer™ Snap Flex enables two actions to be assigned to a single key, one on press and another on release, allowing players to create precisely timed action sequences with a single input. For example, a player can begin preparing a grenade on key press, then have the grenade release and jump trigger simultaneously on key release, making timing-critical plays easier and more consistent to execute.

Dynamic Keystroke allows up to four actions to be mapped to a single keystroke based on actuation depth, enabling advanced combos, layered controls, and multi-step actions from a single key. Combined with Instant Cancel Control, players can instantly cancel unwanted follow-up actions when the situation changes, giving them greater control over every input and helping them adapt faster in the heat of battle.

Dual-Keypress Priority protects intended movement inputs from accidental keypresses, ensuring movement remains consistent even when additional directional keys are pressed. This helps players maintain smoother movement and more reliable control during intense gameplay.

Together, these advanced input technologies give players greater control over not just when a key actuates, but how each input behaves throughout every action.

Comfort Without Compromise.

With a front height of just 19.5 mm, the Huntsman V3 Pro Low-profile Tenkeyless 8KHz gaming keyboard promotes a more natural wrist position and reduces finger movement during extended gaming sessions.

The keyboard also features lubricated switches paired with thick internal foam dampening to deliver a smoother and more refined typing experience while maintaining the responsiveness expected from an esports-focused keyboard.

Whether practicing at home or competing on stage, players can carry their preferred settings with them through profile storage and quick onboard adjustments. Complementing this is Razer Synapse Web support, driven by player feedback to enable fast, installation-free access to personalized configurations from virtually any PC.

Low-profile gaming keyboards have traditionally asked players to choose between comfort and performance. The Huntsman V3 Pro Low-profile Tenkeyless 8KHz changes that.

Bringing together Razer’s latest competitive gaming technologies, Advanced Input Control, and a form factor trusted by professional players, it represents a new standard for low-profile esports gaming.

THE FPS GAMES SHOW DEBUTS ON 3 SEPTEMBER

The FPS Games Show, presented by Bulkhead, is a new pre-recorded showcase dedicated entirely to FPS games, which will debut live on 3 September 2026 at 19:00 BST / 20:00 CEST exclusively on Twitch at twitch.tv/thefpsgamesshow

Watch the announcement trailer here:

A first-of-its-kind collaborative showcase, the FPS Games Show brings together studios from across the genre to create a shared showcase of content for FPS players. Rather than studios paying for placement or competing for attention, every developer involved is participating freely, with no paid placements and no marketing spend required to appear in the show. Instead, participating studios are coming together to champion one another’s games, share exclusive news, trailers and gameplay, and celebrate the FPS genre as a whole.

Built around titles players are already invested in, alongside new games and updates worth discovering, the show is designed to give the FPS community something it rarely gets: a showcase created collectively by the people making these games, for the players who love them.

FPS is one of gaming’s biggest, most passionate and most performance-driven audiences, but until now has not had a dedicated showcase of its own.

“FPS games have been a cornerstone of the industry for more than three decades, building one of the biggest and most dedicated player communities in gaming. Yet that audience is underserved when it comes to a dedicated place for news, updates and new game reveals,” said Joe Brammer, CEO of Bulkhead.

“The FPS Games Show aims to change that by bringing studios together to showcase their work, support one another and celebrate our collective love of the genre. It’s about giving FPS games, and the players who are passionate about them, a show of their own.”

Rather than mixing shooters into long line-ups spanning unrelated genres, the FPS Games Show puts FPS games, communities and players at the centre. Viewers can expect new trailers, gameplay, content updates and news, all wrapped in a show designed for FPS players, by FPS players.

The 16 title lineup includes: Rainbow Six Siege, Escape from Tarkov, Ready or Not, Stalzone, SCUM, Gray Zone Warfare, Wardogs, Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, Beautiful Light, Bellum, Incursion Red River, Road to Vostok, Sand Raiders of Sophie, Bodycam, 83, and Terminal War.

“The FPS Games Show is a great example of studios coming together to celebrate the genre, showcase the games players are invested in, and support each other’s work.” said Shed Wilson, Director + Co-Founder at BOOST.

“There’s a real sense of unity around FPS games, both among the studios making them and the players who love them. This really is the first time studios have come together like this to showcase their games to the wider community.”

Every participating studio, publisher and creator will co-host the FPS Games Show directly to their own communities, significantly extending its reach across the genre. Through co-hosting, reactions and community promotion, each participant will not only showcase their own games, but help amplify those of others, with everyone taking part for free.

The show will combine a fast paced showcase with a player-first, self-aware tone, aiming to feel less like a corporate reel and more like something FPS players actually want to watch, featuring games and creators they know and respect. A proper celebration of the genre, made for players who want updates for the games they love.

Support from both Twitch and Steam further strengthens the FPS Games Show’s ambition to create a major collaborative moment for the genre. Twitch is helping bring this first-of-its-kind celebration to as many players as possible by supporting participating game communities and developers, while Steam will host a dedicated 3rd Party platform event featuring selected titles, including discounts, free demos and free weekends.

Together, their involvement brings developers, platforms and players together around FPS games as a whole.

The FPS Games Show, presented by Bulkhead, takes place on 3 September 2026 @ 19:00 BST / 20:00 CEST exclusively on Twitch at twitch.tv/thefpsgamesshow
