However, the thickness of the padding does elevate comfort levels.
However, the mechanism for adjusting the height of the earcups lacks the same level of engineering.
In use, the MMX 200 Wireless renders sound with the high fidelity it claims.
I did find that using the analog input offered marginally better sound quality, but not substantially.
The microphone, too, is of a high quality.
Voices are clear with minimal distortion, although fidelity isnt overly impressive.
Superfluous noises are well blocked, though.
There are a few usability issues with the MMX 200 Wireless.
Thankfully, though, its quiet enough to be masked by game audio.
Charging to full from empty takes somewhere under three hours, which is about average.
Its available now in two colors: black and gray.
Whichever way you slice it, this is an expensive headset.
It also features Razers spatial audio engine, THX, which really does add an extra layer of immersion.
You cant go wireless with it, though.
Its still far better than Ive experienced with other headsets, though.
I generally prefer oval-shaped drivers for this reason, usually finding them more comfortable overall.
Also, they dont rotate laterally, which makes stowing them away a chore.
The mechanism for adjusting the position of the drivers isnt the most elegant or well made.
The notches are overly stiff, and dont feel the most seamless to operate.
The switches and ports on the MMX 200 Wireless are well made, however.
All the buttons feel solid, being firm yet easy to operate.
The detachable microphone is of a similarly high standard to the rest of the MMX 200 Wireless.
There are a few extra features on the MMX 200 Wireless.
This aims to cut the lag between audio and video, although microphone delay times will still apply.
This is achieved by holding the volume button for two seconds.
Connecting via Bluetooth to various devices took a couple of attempts each time.
In short, its far from being the most efficient process in practice.
Pairing with an Android phone also proved unsuccessful initially.
It did eventually pair with my machine, though.
I experienced a similar issue connecting to an Android tablet, so perhaps its an Android-related issue.
Both of these connections were instant and stable.
Connecting to my Nintendo Switch was also straightforward, requiring the lowest number of attempts to establish a connection.
Still, compared to other gaming headsets, the MMX 200 Wireless performs admirably.
Sound quality does seem slightly improved over Bluetooth as well, but again, not by much.
I could even hear the clacking on my keyboard.
The claimed battery life of 35 hours does seem to be accurate.

It can also be found for less than the MMX 200 Wireless.
The wired version is more expensive than the MMX 200 Wireless, although it can be found for less.
During that time, I used it to game, chat, listen to music and watch video content.
I tested all its features and connection methods.
I played both online and offline games, using voice chat in the latter case to test the microphone.
I also own a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770s, and have used them for audio production for several years.
I have been an avid gamer for decades.
