As for the noise suppression feature it's for the mic(s), not the sound. I corrected this in the vid, and we will test this more in my next video.
When you test the microphone could you play some music (in the room) to see if you can hear it but the people you are playing with can’t? This could be a workaround to the lack of simultaneous bluetooth music.
Yesss🤘🏼. I’m still deciding either Model one or this one.
Been watching your reviews for a while. I do appreciate the consumer focused reviews.. Maybe I’m overreacting, but just because someone uses headphone measurements in their review doesn’t mean they are bad by any means. Really leaves a bad taste in my mouth the way it comes across as you bad mouthing other reviewers trying to make a living.
@@D3lete117 not saying they are “bad reviewers” I just don’t think it needs to be in product reviews. We don’t have to believe in the same religion or vote for the same prez. I don’t like over spec flooded reviews, just saying it out loud. There are many awesome reviewers on KZhead
U sound so petty even mentioning it mr “I don’t watch other people’s reviews….”
This was awesome. Thank you so much for getting this out there so fast! Looking forward to all of your Maxwell content!!!
so happy that it's finally hear! been waiting so long for this review and now I'm hyped to put in my Maxwell order! istg techne always delivers when it comes to the finer details about headset ownership and that weight had me worried for a sec there, thanks man, keep making your phenomenal reviews, I'll be sure to check out the Penrose V Maxwell vid too!
I've been waiting for your thoughts on this headset! I'm stoked! Set has been ordered. Thanks!
Great review. Much more refined in your style. Appreciate the detail and descriptions.
So excited for mine to come in. My first time investing in a decent headphone. Great review. Really built my confidence in my choice.
I cannot wait to see this... Cannot wait to see the full review... Keep up the good work big guy...
The best review I've seen. I've watched 6 or 7 different review videos on these and no one talked about the small details like the voice feedback for every button. Seems like such a small detail, but to me, it's a detail that definitely makes the headset that much better.
Techne .... I love u man 🤩🤩🤩🤩 This review what I've been waiting for ❤️🤩
Thank you for the great video. I have just preorder my headset. I'm in the UK . Im coming from artic wireless pro and they were good but didn't blow me away. Can't wait 🎉
you the man techne, ive been checking everyday for this video
The moment I saw this announced, I knew I'd be sold as long as they upgrade the comfort and wireless range from the Penrose. Thank goodness they did. Also thabk you for the passionate and highly informative content.
Just ordered mine from Audeze and did FedEx Priority Overnight (I'm impatient and want my orders ASAP). You have always been my #1 go to for headset reviews!
ahhh sweet! your going to love them
Hi you ordered those Maxwell headphones I play on ps5.can you let me know after you've used them if there too too heavy thank you
Appena ho saputo di questo nuovo modello Audeze ho subito aspettato con ansia il tuo video, ti devo dire grazie perché con i tuoi video e opinioni ho ottenuto le Penrose e suonano semplicemente fenomenali, adesso sono molto curioso di questo nuovo modello aggiornato, l unica cosa purtroppo devo aspettare di avere la traduzione con i sottotitoli in questo tuo video se no mi viene difficile capire tutto al meglio essendo italiano, ma comunque grazie🔥
Absolutely perfect review! Thanks:)
Looking forward to the comparison. I love the sound of the range you are getting. I have the Penrose Xbox version. I don't need a new headset yet but still interested in what's new.
tomorrow AM ;)
i just sent my penrose back the headband cracked, thank god they are realising a new headset and using more metal as part of the construction after using the penrose for almost a year i cant go back to dynamic drivers again, the diference in my opinion is just too big. Thanks for the early review keep up the amazing work :)
Hell yeah. Been waiting for this review
the noise suppression is for the microphone. work’s incredible too.
Yeah my bad on that note, we will test this in my next vid. Vid has also been updated so no miss info received
He made me laugh saying, I don't hear a difference cycling through the modes. Just test the mic with a vacuum cleaner running next to it. You will know the difference.
funny fail
@@Dutchy- 😂
@@TheTechne no problem at all!
Great video as always, can’t wait to have mine !!
That mic, both with and without boom mic, sounds really good. I'm pleased.
Good job! Excellent review and opinion. Thanks.
Closing music too loud brother. I thought my volume broke down or something 😂 Awesome review as usual. Can't wait for your comparison videos. I always watch those. I'm sad I'm on a preorder too. Might take a month to arrive.
The noise suppression setting is not ANC (which the Maxwell does not have), it's for the microphone.
Awesome! Just ordered one. I've been waiting for a new Planar headset and this one sounds like a great choice. I'm currently using the Astro A30's and it's a good headset but it doesn't even come close to planar drivers. I had the HyperX Orbit S for about 2 years before the headset broke, Mostly due to the cheap plastic construction. Those plastic hinges on this one have me a bit concerned but the rest of the construction looks solid. Nothing compares to the build of the VZR Model One though, That thing is built like a tank. Although I wish they sold replaceable ear cushions because once they wear out eventually, There are no replacements available for purchase and they only have a 1 year warranty. Fantastic review as always Techne, Keep up the great content.
How long they say it will take to get to you if you ordered today?
@@djmervizzzy I got a message saying that I would be notified when it ships but no set date yet.
Awesome review! Love your review from a consumer perspective.
Can’t wait to the comparison to the penrose. I’ve had mine for a while and the sound is still unmatched
just finished it up. going live at 9am
Only thing I’m curious about is the comparison in foot steps between the nova pro wireless. The Simultaneous Bluetooth is a bummer. I’ve seen other vids saying the nova pro is better in the foot step category. If you got the Xbox version a couple months ago at 250 is it worth purchasing the Maxwell?
Waiting for Xbox version as I was waiting for your review thank you very much for your honest I have the Penrose now can't wait til they ship 💪🔥
was waiting for this video from you :D! got the penrose lets see how this one goes.
I am so happy with these. Got mine yesterday. A definite upgrade over the Penrose in every aspect. Can't wait for the finalized software. Also... I'm stoked for wicked cushions to release new ear pads 😍
100%
Hello there. just got my maxwell aswell, love the reviews on this page. Got a couple of questions for you. Do you know if they already finished the software? and what about the cushions, cant find them on their page, do you know if they releasse them already? thank you for your time man!
@@alexandrehamade2048 the software is not finished. Wicked cushions is working on new earpads for the headset
@@michigan1777 thank you man! appreciated
If these can at least match or top my wired Beyer Dynamic DT770(250ohm)'s than I'd totally consider! The Penrose under delivered just a little vs the DT770's imo. Returned those after about a week.
Great Review Techne! thank you. How does the mic compare to the Corsair VIRTUOSO WIRELESS XT?
Awesome review. I think your style and GadgetryTech’s style are complementary, and competition for viewership is good for everyone. I’m glad you talked about the missing iOS app (which is big for me because those of us console gamers without personal Windows/MacOS PCs are essentially limited to Razer and Logitech/Astro, though it sounds from your review as though the active on-hardware controls enable all the bells and whistles without needing software. Along similar lines…. Do we know if Audeze is planning to do over-the-air firmware updates (ala, Astro A30) once their iOS app is working, or will users need to own PCs to get their firmware updates? Thanks!
Hi figured I would answer as a Penrose owner. I'm assuming it will work the same with the Maxwell. I have an Android so I'm able to use the mobile app and you can update the headsets firmware within that while you're connected to your phone via Bluetooth. I'd imagine it will work the same once the IOS app goes live
my biggest issues is the need of pc for firmware updates, even if they don't do a iOS app I think I would buy a cheap secondhand android phone for a few £ lol
@@josephgittos3787 Audeze’s website explicitly says the iOS version is coming in “Q2 2023,” so you may not have to.
i wanna say a stinkin thank for the work you do. i'm currently struggeling with my turtle beach 700 gen2 max cause the range of it being soooo poor. being 3-4 meters away from the dongle makes it start crackeling like hell. so i am looking for something else, since i have the second 700 gen 2 max and nothing has changed. in every review you talk about all the information i need for me to make desicion. no other channel does it this compact and to the point. thank you a lot for you help, i will buy these.
Hi, i have the Penrose, do you recomend the upgrade for the Maxwell? The Penrose Xbox version, also works with the PS5, changing the dongle to PC mode, do you think that it will be the same with the Maxwell? Thanks in advance. Love you work!
Great review as always. Love your passion and energy. When you review the Xbox version can you please try the USB dongle with the Playstation as well to see it still works? Audeze are being vague about whether it would work (similar to the Penrose) .. obviously they want consumers to purchase both versions for those that own XBox and PS5 💰. Also curious to know if the tempest 3d will still work with the PS5 on the Maxwell XBox version.
Another great review dude 😎 It’s clear Audeze listened to all the feedback for the Penrose and developed the Maxwell with massive improvements like build, connectivity, battery life and a little on sound as well. However, I’ve watched another reviewer who uses a sound measuring device to measure sound and frequencies, which are pretty accurate has stated the imaging isn’t the best on the Maxwell and this was the case on the Penrose as well I’ve been a desk gamer for a while now and I’ve been using the SteelSeries Nova 7, which is great headset for sound quality, imaging and comfort, but recently I’ve decided to switch to a completely wired headset, Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2. I’m someone who has been around audio for over 25 years and understand what good audio is and I can honestly say that still for competitive FPS it’s the king. It’s the only Turtle Beach headset that has that superhuman hearing mode works properly. Of course, there are headsets like the SteelSeries Nova Pro wired which gives you a little better overall sound quality, but I’ve tried and tested so many headsets and nothing gives you the clear imaging capability like the Turtle Beach Elite Pro 2 and the fact that they’ve definitely improved the Turtle Beach Hub app makes it a winner for me Just as a side note, I’m sure there are lots of Apple product users like the iPhone and Mac and the fact that Audeze HQ app doesn’t work on iOS devices is crazy. It works for their other products, but not for their gaming headsets only on iOS
as for measuring, I cant stand how that is getting into our space, like the latency trend in mice and such. You know audeze actually sent out measuring specs/info in the marketing material, you know thats not my style, I test/review products as a gamer/user, not a company guy.
I think they said before that audeze hq will come to ios this year.
@@SpedeFace yeah I spoke with the ceo, he said it's in the works
@@TheTechne My man you misunderstood, I’ve been watching your reviews for 2 years now, I’m a big fan 😎. I wasn’t judging your style at all, you keep doing what you’re doing 😎 From my end I’m simply looking at it in more detail and for me as a heavy FPS gamer, imaging is the most important aspect of the sound on a headset Plus yeah as stated I’m now primarily a wired headset user to ensure there’s zero latency and much better sound quality
Try the VRZ model 1 if you want imaging. Those are by far the best I've heard in that regard, pinpoint sound positioning.
Bro great review. Love the everyday thing test. I know u probably know but that button for the mic. Get video brother
Hey Techne, thank you for this overview. I've been waiting for some reviews of this headset to come out. One question, if you can clarify, for the Playstation version, do the presets(treble boost, bass boost, etc)carry over to the PS4/ps5? Or are they only limited to PC?
I presume they are actually in the headset has he stated they were stock EQ settings hence why you don't need an android unless you like messing about with EQ, but can understand your concerns they are so many that don't like Sony inzone I would be all over Sony intones if you could adjust the eq on ps5 what such an error by Sony esp for their own console
Hey man! I'm a little late to the video, but I would be very curious about a comparison between these and the Corsair HS80s. I know, totally different price bracket, but I'm still interested. Great video as always!
Can’t wait to see them compared to your current daily driver. :) my Penrose still sound perfect but I’d be willing to upgrade if it’s worth it.
Damn it, I just got the Penrose last year and I said I would use it for a longer time, now this comes out! I'm really interested in the comparison too!
@@AceHammerheart HyperX Cloud Orbit user here, 3 years rocking this headset, i really need to see a comparison with Penrose.
I love my Orbits when I'm on PC and use the Penrose for console. They're just so good and with the upgraded cushions they're even better.
@@illuminodie how long have you got the orbits for? I bought them, got 3 replacements, and it just broke again.😐 The build quality is terrible from my experience.
@@droppedmycap1594 I’ve had mine for like two years as my daily driver and even put Wicked Cushions on them and haven’t had any issues. Do you have a big head? They fit snug. If you do the Maxwells might work better for you. I’ve had mine for a few weeks and the clamping force is pretty light.
Nice tats! Also if i did not have the SteelSeries Nova Pro Wireless and I didn't absolutely need the simultaneous Bluetooth and wireless, I would've sold my Nova's and gotten these. Still can't get over that Penrose sound.
I really enjoy your reviews! Please don't change. I can go to other review channels for a different review, I come to your channel because I enjoy the work you do! Maybe one day I'll get to purchase one of these headsets in your reviews, too!
Nice review 👍🏻 Just, you did not mention battery replacement:)
Great video about those headphones, i will wait for Xbox version and maby u will do vs ps ( differences between dolby atmos and tempest 3d ) or just please tell which version of those headphones would be better for using to ps5, tv etc. I would be very grateful 😉
Well i was going to buy these (Pre order them) For Xbox/PC. Ive spent nearly 2 years saving up to buy a new headset. But in the UK they are £80 more expensive (US $329=£270). Sorry but the cost difference is ridiculous . Thank you though i like your reviews, lots of information as always. You are awesome when it comes to testing and i love that you give your personal opinion be it good or bad.
Hi techne your the best headphones reviewer on the planet your just so honest and true to your reviews I've had so so many gaming headphones I had tried I play on ps5 only I'm currently using the nova pro wireless and the turtle beach stealth 700 gen 2 Max I use the nova pro wireless more they seem like they sound better I've just ordered the new Maxwell gaming headphones do you think I made a good decision how do they sound and do you think there too heavy because I play every every day 5 to 6 hours everyday thank you stay true
Ah these seem so amazing. I wish we could get Audeze quality mixed with like the Features and Functions of the Arctis Nova 7X. At that price point i would just love similtaneous bluetooth!
Just ordered and they’re amazing. I put some speed racer wicked cushions on the headband and ear pads 🔥
Just got my Xbox version. Waited 4 months! So excited for 🎮 games with the bois tonight!
I just watched one of your videos where you don't necessarily recommand a dac/amp for gaming headset. Does that apply to the Maxwell? Or is it in another category?
Absolutely loved this video. Seeing your excitement during the COD/Warzone part made me all warm and fuzzy lol. It looks like these might become your new favorite headset. Can I pick your brain some more please? This video came at the perfect time, as I might be in the market for a new headset. Playing on PC with Arctis 7p's, that need to be replaced. I hated the new EQ presets on the 7p+'s (but I liked your custom EQs from an older video), and I wasn't a fan of the Nova 7P's when I tried them either, so I don't think I want to try the Nova pro's. Right now I was thinking about the Astro A50's (especially after your video about them from last year or so). Are you planning a comparison video between these and the A50's? If not, which do you recommend? They will be used primarily on PC playing MW2 and/or battlefield 2042, 80% of the time. I already have a 7p+ for my ps5, but I'll get the PlayStation version of whichever new headset I pick Incase I need to swap them out.
Hi I would not get the a50 headphones there so outdated with battery life or even sound astro A380 are way better I was thinking about getting these Maxwell but it's just how heavy they are other then that there a go
Hey I have a question about the Maxwell gaming headset. It looks like they have personalized spatial audio? Is that correct? Like how Creative does with their SXFI app and taking pics of your face and ears? I think Apple is doing that now too with their new headphones...
Hey Techne - while researching gaming headsets, your videos helped me decide on the Maxwells, which are amazing. But what also caught my eye in your videos are your single color ball caps. What brand are they and where do you buy them? I'd love to know. Thanks, Techne!
Hello @TheTechne, how you doing? Love your videos man, help me a lot when i need to do some research on what to buy. Im from Brazil, so its a little bit harder to buy the brand new technology when released. Always need to be looking for someone thats is going to the US so i can ask them to buy it for me ahahah. Anywyas, got the Audeze Maxwell, had the penrose aswell because of your reviwes, and love it! I had the whicked cushions for my penrose, and was really anxious to buy the cushions for the maxwell aswell... Do you have any ideia when they will realese it? And about the software on the headset, do you have any news on it? Thank you for your time! Love yor videos! keep on posting =D Hugs from Brazil!!
I really appreciate your approach, giving us the real deal experience. I just wanna know if I am going to be able to hear that guy running down the hall, when I'm camping in the other room lol.. I own some Razer Kraken Ultimates right now, and I'm not too impressed. Before that I owned some Cloud Orbit S's and they were amazing at footstep detection but the build quality was horrific (snapping plastic above the yokes).. Hoping these can surpass those cloud orbits and last longer than a year. If they can accomplish that I will be more than satisfied.
Thanks for this - really appreciate the details. Request - as a Mobius owner could you please compare these to the Mobius. And if you are really feeling cozy, these versus the LCD-GX as well. I'd really love to hear how these stack in the entire Audeze line up. No worries if not. Deep gratitude.
I second this request, it would be super useful
I third this request
Hey Techne, how would you compare these vs arctis nova pro? Maybe you will do that in your next video as you mentioned you gonna compare these to other headsets? Thanks!
I just got my headset the Xbox version coming from the Penrose I definitely am happy with the upgrade I have android and the app works flawlessly I can update the firmware through that wirelessly it's easy also loving the treble boost atm for cod thanks for your help on some things I definitely recommend this headset now my Penrose is a backup hopefully this will help someone
I always see that Xtrfy M4 Tokyo Edition in your videos. Is it good? :D
Just received my Audeze Maxwell headset. The sound surprised me. Everything is so clean and clear, even in the sea of bass, you are still able to hear every single details of other sound/instruments in the music. The bass are punchy and impactful, not overpowering or muddy like my previous A50. You may not be able to hear much difference from low quality mp3 pop songs, but once you throw a Hi-res song/music on it... woo, it feels good. Only downside is, this headset is heavy.... my neck is tired and aching after using it for a while. Wish they use lighter metal, this one here seems like Steel to me and steel is heavy.
You're weak, you wouldn't last a day wearing a soldiers helmet.
I have the Astro A50's (gen 3) right now and thinking about upgrading to these. Funny to read so many comments about people who also own a pair of A50's.
LETS GO!! Check out the headset of the year!? I impulse bought these instantly. I’ve been using the Penrose for over a year. Wicked Cushions you say?! Can’t wait to slap some of those on too. Do you think Wicked Cushions should make a replacement headband for that leather band? Might want to give them that idea. I’ll only take 1% of profits 😂. I hope this hype is real! Can’t wait for this EXTRAVAGANZA. I was hoping the microphone could compete with a usb mic. Sorry long video gets a long comment lol. Can’t wait to get mine!
Very nice Video! Thank you
Thanks for the review. I actually ordered these the other day. I can’t wait for them! A quick question, if I may... How loud do these get? I have the SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless connected to my PS5 and certain games, like MWII sound great a little past mid-volume levels. Other games, like God of War Ragnarok and Hogwarts sound kinda low and …flat? Like, I have to turn the volume about 3-4 notches from max to get that “punch”. I’ve noticed with most headsets, PlayStation systems have always sounded a little on the lower side than Xbox and PC system do, for some reason…
ANPW come alive on PC. You can hit that high Gain setting in the Engine area and then boost further within the Media tabs -- it gets pretty damn loud.
I'm actually wrapping up my testing between the two as we speak :) I hope to have it out this weekend
@@TheTechne looking forward to it
Hey, great review! How would you compare this to Audeze lcd-gx? What would you pick?
shockingly close, but of course the lcd is going to be a good bit better paired with a nice amp/dac
Is this a worth upgrade from the Sennheiser 598sr openbacks? Mine are 6 or 7 years old and starting to show its age a bit. I know one is wired and openback but I have been hoping wireless would get good enough that it'd be atleast a minor upgrade or similar in audio quality while still being wireless by the time I upgrade. From what I can tell from reviews it sounds like this might be it finally?
This video is like Christmas for gaming headset enthusiasts and general techne fans 😂
Watched this review like 3 times..... sooooooo i think these are the headphones i want. I was so so close to buying the artic pros but i hate having too many things to play with( the seperate EQ control box scares the living hell outta me lol) i just want a dongle i can plug in and away i go...... i normally play all kinda games, FPS, driving, story etc and i think these are the headphones. I was thinking about WZ footstep, would they be as good as the steelseries and then you told us the story at the end..... i hate messing with settings as you've probably guessed 🤣 if you had to leave one setting on forever as a sweet spot for all gaming as an whole, what would you go for? Great review 👏
Honestly I've got a pair of steelseries pro wireless and if I were to do it again I'd skip steelseries. They have a lot of great features but the build quality is seriously lacking, just from normal daily wear gaming etc for 2 years the left earcup of my headphones has cracked at the hinge. It's a known fault and there is no easy way to repair it.
Does Xbox version work with PC and PS5? Like the nova pro wireless? If so, this is a definite buy.
I think you should start showing how to set headsets up as well, these were a pain. Finally figured out it was the usb had to be 3.1 in order for it to work lol.
With the headset being out for a few months. It would be nice to see people, not just Techne follow up regarding quality issue. There have been reports of the headband snapping at the same locations as the previous gaming headsets (mobius and penrose). Interesting that we aren't seeing follow ups about durability. Not on audeze gaming headsets but others, seeing that these headsets are more expensive it would be nice to see how theyre holding up months after release.
Question for you man, you experiencing the sidetone crackling issue on your headset? Thanks
@TheTechne hey there can you please do a review on the razer thresher 7.1 for PlayStation and do you have the old hyperx cloud 2 wireless batch or do you have the new one cause I heard they made a knew batch but it’s not great it’s a down grade just wondering if I can buy yours hahahaha I’d like the old batch
I'd like to see a straight wired version of these. Maybe HyperX might do the Orbit thing and slap their brand on a non-wireless pair!
I just opened my Maxwell and plugged it into the PS5. I then Bluetooth them to my phone and changed the settings to terrible mode or whatever it's called. I then listened to KZhead premium music KCamp Woozie and that bass was absolutely perfect. I would suggest anyone check that song out if you want to see the headset in action but hey that's just my opinion and opinions are like assholes everyone has 1. I then listened to Seven pounds of pressure by J. Alphonse which has highs and bass and woohoo let's go Audeze Maxwell. They came correct with Audeze Maxwell are a Big and I mean Big improvement over the Penrose. If you were on the fence at all don't be these are the ones. Great review Techne
LOL, well said
I just wonder how they compare to Penrose X. I had them and returned them, I didn't trust the build quality, but especially bass just wasn't as good as my TB Stealth 700 gen 2. How much has truly improved over Penrose X?
How is the game to chat volume setting on this? i have the Penrose but whether its plugged in via the usb-c cable or wireless i cant seem to get it to work? Because of this i'm kind of forced into using my Arctis pro wireless, no complaints as i love them but interesting to know.
Currently using the Corsair Virtuoso and love after getting thicker padded cups, but I think I really would like to give these Maxwell cans a try. Waiting for them to come back in stock at Amazon, think I will get the PS/PC version since I only play on PC and don't own any consoles.
Did you ever get them? If so how are they working for you?
@TheTechne Maybe I didn't hear if you mentioned it, but I'm asking anyway, can you run this headset with cable via a dac/amp (Rode ai-1) and would it make any difference at all in terms of sound
When are they coming to Amazon? I can't wait
I think the only thing missing is being able to use Bluetooth and the wireless dongle simultaneously. So far, I’m enjoying the maxwell more than the mobius.
the epos hybrid has symotanius, but the boom mike didn't work in the one that was sent. So I think the only other one is steel series? The epos h3pro hybrid's drivers crash frequently and reset from silent to noise, and the no-sleep doesn't work.
I’m still rocking the 1st gen Astro A50 lol but ordered these this weekend can’t wait. Hoping I’ll like them better than my A50 when it comes to imaging in fps.
Hey whats your opinion about the battery life? i don't think it can go the 80hrs as advertised. I've used mine for roughly 15 hours and its down to 66% . If my Math is right then this thing wouldn't go past 50hrs and a couple of people on reddit have similar experience with their Audeze
Are you getting the fully 80h? as advertised i'm only getting closer to around 50h+ before it runs out
So I have a big issue with this headset. Until I tick "disable all enhancements", the audio levels are horrible. Music sounds full and loud while games and Discord audio sound quiet and tinny. I checked all my settings in terms audio (chat vs speaker in Windows) and it was all set up correctly. After disabling audio enhancements everything became louder and clearer, but then I was unable to choose an EQ preset, and it still wasn't as loud or as clear as my Syn Max Air. It's weird that music sounded so good while everything else just didn't hit.
My thing with whoppy cushion is they need to figure out a way to keep the earpads cool but also keep the sound in so maybe a combination of leather and cooling fabric. I found that changing out cushions on headphones they don't sound the same.
Techne I really need to know something about them, can you use them connected via aux cable to the controller on your Xbox Series Console? And also, does the microphone work?
Yes and yes
The range and comfort are big enough reasons for me to upgrade from the Penrose tbh
Same
I'm not an audiophile or anything like that, been using the Audio Technica ATH AD700x for gaming for a couple years and I thought they were pretty good, just ordered the Audeze Maxwell can't wait!!
question, is the audio quality out of the box same as penrose? shall I tweak around it or not? I know you can't really tweak with it right now, but it has pre default ones, Should I just use the "Audeze" option for now?
I preordered mine on Monday thinking it was going to get it late April but it’s actually getting delivered tomorrow
Where did you purchase? Xbox or PS?
I've got a huge head. The Penrose fits fine when it's open to its max length. Any idea of whether this one would fit my mellon? Does it seem to be as big as the Penrose/Mobius?
got it today - boy is this thing good :O Thanks recommendig it. Make wicked cushions work on those earpads they are too shallow - my ears touch the drivers and i have normal ears ( wasn't my mum confirming that :D )
Hey Techne did you use these with Dolby Atmos or default sound??
plans to upgrade with my Steelseries arctic pro wireless, I guess it was very worth for the upgrade !
The mic... is like 50x better than the penrose... like holy cow thats a massive improvement.
Hi! i wonder if it is possible to use them with sound card (i have AE-9) with a mini jack? And if so do i need to launch them and will they waste a battery life? Thanks!
So, the PS5 version is available now. And I'm planning to get a PS5 in the future. Should I get that or wait for the Xbox version? Also, is the Dolby Atmos a big deal since the PS5 doesn't have it? Will the Xbox version work for the PS5 because of Dolby Atmos or don't even bother?
Would like the comparison between these and the VZR model ones!
thats a good call actually, I have been thinking about that as well.
VZR are better for footsteps, but the Maxwells are better at everything else.
