  • I am fighting cancer in my spine. It is very painful. there are times I just get depressed. When I watch your videos you pick me up. You helped me update my headset. You made it easy. When I looked on amazon I had no idea what to purchase. This was a big help. Your energy picks me up. Thank you.

  • gotta admit... i got my first set of Wicked cushions for the Hyper alpha in 2018... i still have that set somewhere and they have minor wear after a solid 12+hr daily of use for a yr, and that was before covid, so the cloud 2 set got abused and still good. lol also now i have the nova pro with the retro WC and have zero issues. every headset deserves some customization, and earpads are perfect for $20-30.

  • This was a hell of a good wrap up, thank you. Also, if you play with your friends a lot and use a lot of voice chat do them a favor and do not buy the Steel series. Steel series headsets made Valheim with friends so annoying, the mic is just trash even if the rest of the headset is good. If you are playing with strangers or don't use the mic often go ahead but please don't put your friends through the bs of fiddling with your volume, telling you to move the mic, adjust your gain etc every single night, it's just not good.

    • ⁠@@TheTechne I know it not out yet and you don’t typically care as much for Astro brand headsets but I really want to hear what your thoughts or predictions would be for the new coming Astro a50x. With Logitech buying over the brand and putting their new 40mm graphene drivers in them do you think they may compete as a top brand again? Or do you think they may even surpass some of these in this line up at a competitive or fps stand point? I have been an Astro fan for some time now even knowing there is much better options out now; I would really like to see a revival of the company as a whole.

  • i use the steel series pro nova X. I love being able to seemlessly transition to my xbox, pc, ps5, switch, nvidia shield and regular tv without getting off my seat to re-plug in a dongle. It's just a shame their mics isn't up to par with the rest and they have those stupid mics in the earcups, but I use wicked cushions aswell to completly avoid feeling them.

  • Excellent review! So I just want to share some insight from my local HiFi headphone dealer on the Maxwells. My rep, who loves Audeze, said they are not even bringing any Maxwells in because of serious reliability issues with all of Audeze's previous wireless sets. He said they did not sell a single one that did not come back with issues and that there is a night and day difference in build quality and materials from their wired sets. He wanted to stress he had no hands-on experience with the Maxwells, obviously, and he had heard some more positive things about them. I have no doubt they sound better than any other gaming headset, hands down, with those massive planar drivers. However, I don't know if I could spend that much to get a heavy and possibly unreliable headset.

  • I bought the acrtis 9 after using the ps3 wireless headphones from 2011 (the very first headphones playstation made) and i gotta say that the 9's kinda pinch my head and the sound quality is 99% similar with the bass being slightly better but not much to stand out from the ps3 headphones. I was going for immersion for my purchase and the acrtis 9 was definitely for competitive gaming. My pc38x has the competitive aspect covered. I just needed a wireless headset for laying back and just simply enjoying the game. Returned the arctis 9 and went with the inzone 7. Same as the arctis 9 but i did like the simultaneous 2.4 and Bluetooth support but unfortunately i had to return it for a refund as an exchange was not possible as sony doesn't sell them anymore. Fortunately i was able to do that 3 days before the 1 year warranty expired. It was due to a build up of static shock in my room and when i went to grab the headset it wont turn on. Bought a cheap humidifier and already bought the Maxwell's...whenever they go back into stock in the next month.

Which one should I pick? Thanks!

I don't care about the mic since I have a dedicated microphone, So I'm mainly am focus on the Audio, I love the Steelseries audio cause its high and mid which goes well between Music and Games with stock Sounds adjustment~ I thought of getting the Maxwell headsets and or the Wired SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro headset but my main problem is the built quality and price tag on the arctic nova while for the Maxwell it only comes as Wireless. I don't like wireless headsets soo much cause on PC you can't freely adjust applications sounds through Volume Mixer (and cause wired headsets are superior on sound quality) But I always like to put sound quality above everything Ahhh its sooo hard to choose ;-;

  • I got the Maxwell and i am not sure if i want to keep it. Simply by the fact, that I have voicemeter and have to reassign the headset every time I switch it on, because it doesn't recognized the "old" one. Sound is fine, could be a louder, i like my wired DT 1770 here more. The microphone also sounds a tiny bit better than in the videos here. The mic itself is also way better, you can hear that with the sidetone. The sidetone sounds more like the BlackShark. The problem here is the wireless connection and a bit the noice cancelation, but thats secondary. The sidetone could also be louder, but maybe also not because it has a noticeable background hiss.

  • I bought the Logitech G Pro X2 and they are super UNcomfortable for me. Can't find a size that fits well, even with Wicked Cushions applied. Unfortunately the Audeze Maxwell is too heavy for me and all others are worse in sound, battery life or build quality. So I just wait for a wireless version of the VZR Model One.

  • Ironic that Steelseries is always mentioned as being so comfortable but it’s almost necessary to change the ear pads to achieve that. I mean the Nova Pro Wireless should come packed with a set of Wicked Cushions just to make them usable

  • My Maxwell's are soo heavy, can only game about 2 hours then they create a brutal hotspot on top my head. So, I only use them when I need specific good quality for a short time, other than that I usually opt for my SS nova 7. Or for major sessions like (8+ hours) even a cheap pair of logitech g 733. I find the weight wayyy better and I can tweak with software.

  • I'm sure these are all good, but I'm a big apologist of the "the best gaming headphones aren't gaming headphones" although the Maxwell get a lot of praise. But they're closed back. No matter how good a close back headphone is, it will never be as spacious and accurate as an open back.
