Anyone got/had one of these?

It looks to me like some sort of rebranded Beyerdynamic headset, I know QPAD worked with Beyer on the QH-1339 (which is tempting but would be a bit overkill). It's also well reviewed.

Anything in this price range [£90-130] that's clearly better? I was looking at the Corsair range but people seem to think the QPAD has it well beaten. I don't mind paying more if it's worth it. My sound card is a Xonar Xense.
 
Aha, thanks! Looks like you are spot on, I'm surprised the QH-90 aren't more popular considering they're well priced.

I have a pair of Beyer DT770's and they're great, I do like the look of the MMX300 but I don't think I'd use it enough for it to be worth it. Tempting though.
 
Yeah the QH-85 is the open back version, I definitely think the QH-90 is worth a shot at least. Seems very good.
 
Report: having used them all evening they are indeed rather good, perhaps not great, but good considering the price. I've had a few headsets and at this price point I think they're the clear winner.

However, they seem a bit smaller than what I'm used to, and don't seem a perfect fit. They're a good fit, acceptable, but not perfect.

My DT770's are supremely comfortable and I love them, so with this in mind I'm looking at the MMX 300 or QH-1339, as it's basically a headset version of the DT770s. Yes, it's certainly expensive but I like to buy the best (within reason), or close to. I usually end up slightly disappointed with slightly lower end stuff. Having said that, the QH-90's are very good, and I wouldn't be unhappy if I was stuck with them.

Am I right in thinking the MMX 300/QH-1339 are both pretty much identical aside from the QPAD branding, so I might as well get whatever is cheapest? Looks like they'll cost around £240~.
 
Thanks, I'm sure the Beyers will fit fine as the DT770 Pro's are a very comfy fit with room to spare.

Ideally I'd buy the Beyer T70's (£250) if there was an elegant mic solution, but I can't see anything aside from modmic and I don't fancy that due to the wait and the fact it looks a bit naff. :p I don't know if the T70's would be ideal for me but they look pretty awesome.

Which likely brings me back to the MMX/QPAD headset, and like yourself I think it'll provide the best all-round solution for sure. All things even I'd go for the MMX as I don't really care for the QPAD branding, but that doesn't matter too much.
 
I'm actually now considering the Beyer T70's with the Speed Link SPES clip on mic - I can get both of these for less than the MMX would cost. The only question is will the mic do a good enough job... I suppose I can test it with my DT 770s first and find out. It seems to get rave reviews and YouTube audio tests seem very good.
 
That looks good but modding isn't my finest point. :p The room is usually quiet so I might get away with it, I'll probably grab one to try out with my 770's first and see.
