The Beyerdynamic MMX 300 headphones support 5.1 surround sound, so the visualizer lights up the front, front-left, front-right, rear-left, or rear-right zones. It enables a floating visualizer for game audio to help gamers pinpoint the exact location of sound sources. This sonar tool is likely a big draw for many players. Users can switch profiles (more on this below), change their audio channel setup, and customize the appearance of the sonar tool.

Settings are straightforward if a bit sparse. Lastly, Awaken mode stretches the sound stage and tries to equalize sounds from near and far sources. Immerse mode broadens the sound stage and is a good middle-ground for most games, particularly FPS titles where a blend of sounds from both nearby and faraway noises can help the player build a good image of enemy placements. Close Combat pushes audio closer to the user to create a compacted sound stage. The buttons along the bottom of the home screen allow users to select one of three preset audio modes: Close Combat, Immerse, or Awaken. The home screen shows your headphones as well as the currently used sound channel (easily recognizable with 5.1 or 7.1 surround headphones).
