The fit of the headset.
has a detachable cable
Audio-Technica ATH-GDL3
Beyerdynamic MMX 150
With a detachable cable you can use alternative cables, and if the cable is pulled it will pop out instead of breaking.
weight

220g

304g

We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
A long cable ensures more freedom of movement.
has RGB lighting
Audio-Technica ATH-GDL3
Beyerdynamic MMX 150
RGB lighting allows you to choose between millions of colors and customize the look of your PC components.
can be folded
Audio-Technica ATH-GDL3
Beyerdynamic MMX 150
Foldable devices are easier to transport and take up less storage space.
has an open-back design
Audio-Technica ATH-GDL3
Beyerdynamic MMX 150
The device is designed in a way that allows sound to go out through the back of the ear cups, which usually have vents or perforations. This design provides very natural and accurate sound.
has a tangle free cable
Audio-Technica ATH-GDL3
Beyerdynamic MMX 150
The cable is designed to minimize tangling.
has stereo speakers
Audio-Technica ATH-GDL3
Beyerdynamic MMX 150
Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.

Sound quality

The lowest frequency at which the device produces audio. The lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass.
highest frequency

35000Hz

30000Hz

The highest frequency at which device produces audio. The higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble.
has active noise cancellation (ANC)
Audio-Technica ATH-GDL3
Beyerdynamic MMX 150
This type of device allows you to listen at lower volume levels, causing less ear fatigue as you don't have to crank up the volume to overcome background noise. Ideal for plane rides and morning commutes.
The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device. Bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass.
sound pressure level

98dB/mW

116dB/mW

Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source.
impedance

45 Ohms

32 Ohms

Impedance is the device’s electrical resistance to the current being pushed through it. The lower the impedance, the easier it is to get higher volume and requires less power.
has a neodymium magnet
Audio-Technica ATH-GDL3
Beyerdynamic MMX 150
Devices with neodymium magnets are lighter and more powerful than those which use ferrite magnets. They also have more bass and clear high notes.
has passive noise reduction
Audio-Technica ATH-GDL3
Beyerdynamic MMX 150
The device sits tightly in place, creating an acoustic seal which reduces background noise and prevents your music from leaking out.
A speaker driver is an individual transducer that converts electrical energy to sound waves. More drivers may result in better sound quality.

Microphone

has a noise-canceling microphone
Audio-Technica ATH-GDL3
Beyerdynamic MMX 150
These microphones are designed to filter out background noise from the desired sound. Especially useful in noisy environments.
The lowest frequency that the mic can pick up. Better for recording bass.
highest mic frequency

20000Hz

18000Hz

The highest frequency that the mic can pick up. Better for recording treble.
has a removable microphone
Audio-Technica ATH-GDL3
Beyerdynamic MMX 150
The microphone can be attached or detached if necessary.
has a mute function
Audio-Technica ATH-GDL3
Beyerdynamic MMX 150
The device has an option to mute/unmute a conversation directly from the device.
mic sensitivity

-43dBV/Pa

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Beyerdynamic MMX 150)

It's the 'loudness' of the sound that the microphone can pick up.
More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
