Expert Reviews
What reviewers liked
The Custom Game feels like it was built for both durability and comfort, it excels on both counts.
Atop the cable is a flexible cardioid microphone, undoubtedly one of the best microphones that I’ve used on a headset.
Excellent mic quality & Superb soundstage.
Beyerdynamic claims its inclusion of four audio profile options is meant to "suppress ambient noise" or boost bass for "rich engine sounds or heart-pounding explosions," depending on your gaming environment and necessities.
The Beyerdynamic Custom Game is an excellent gaming headset that features a strong build, a comfortable fit, and accurate, balanced sound.
What reviewers didn't like
Unfortunately, having the boom-style mic built into the included cord means you'll need to track down your own plain 3.5mm cord if you want to use the Custom Game as headphones without the mic in view.
Bulky, uncomfortable to disengage around neck
Heavy and bulky Mic attached to cord & Uncomfortable to disengage around neck.
Extraneous settings and No surround sound.
It's still very expensive at $210, and without the superlative performance of the MMX 300, it doesn't quite justify its comparatively modest price tag when held against the $150 Turtle Beach Elite Pro headset.
