I'm a casual gamer and use the HE6se V2 a lot for gaming. It's a great sounding headphone if you can amp it properly. I modded the headband with 2 Dekoni Nuggets and a cushion headband with the zipper over them. Way better HP now, especially with the comfort
yeah i still use them stock guess i got a tough head. i use the he6se v2 too game too haha. i find the design of maxwell headband much more comfortable
Also, this is the review I was looking for, and thanks for being of the same brain wavelength to make the video!
no problem i figured lots of people were curious!
Nice review. I watch all of your headphone reviews. Always give a thumbs up.
Keep up the good work
thanks alot gary!! appreciate the support!
My Audeze Maxwell should arrive in two days. Can't wait because I ordered these early january. Finally I am getting it. I hope its good as I hope.
think you will like them
Watched in 2x speed. Much better
speedrun
Sennheiser clamping fix .. It's really simple to get a perfect clamping force. Extend the ear cups all the way out, bend back with your fingers and thumb towards the top a little bit at a time until bend-out is comfortable.
i dont have an issue with it, but i know people have complained about it in the past! Thanks for the solution!
@@ryanhostudio .. I did have an issue with mine being too tight and somebody suggested the very same solution, I'm just passing it on. 👍😎
Thanks for your review and I pre-ordered the maxwell ultraviolet I hope I like them I have some hd6xx let's see if there is a noticeable difference
i saw the new colorway looks cool too bad i already bought mine or else id get the ultraviolet too
Great video. My Maxwell’s are arriving this week (I hope), I was slightly worried about pre-ordering something that had no reviews available. Now though I can barely contain my excitement, it really seems to me like they could charge 50% more for these and they would still be a good buy, crazy.
lets just say if it was only a headphone without any of the fancy wireless EQ and software functions I would of still bought it lol
Can't beat wired headphones,especially senns
@Jason Emanuel try walking to your kitchen with your senns on
@CrabCoreKing easy bluetooth transmitter lol
@@jasonemanuel9070 I can’t tell if you’re being serious or not 😅
Something I'm wondering about is the quality of the planar drivers themselves in the Maxwell. I was thinking about EQing them, would I be able to make them sound great in every way for what I like in a sound profile? For example, if I wanted to make them sound like the pair of headphones I was thinking of getting originally the HER9 by Hifiman? Thanks!
they havent released the software yet for EQ, but it should look alot like the one they have for audeze penrose I would imagine. But it will allow you to tune the headphone to your liking.
Sounding exactly like another headphone might be a stretch, because there are other factors in play like shape of cup, drivers and etc
Audeze has never had issues with planar drivers unlike hifiman, so I don't expect Maxwell would be any different.
@@ryanhostudio Thank you very much.
I have hd660s + amp on my allround settings(mostly on gaming). Can you make comparison with hd660s and maxwell about fps footstep directions and soundstage feeling with music performances on single games( horizon zero or god of war etc.)
ive tried the 660s before but not for gaming. Closest thing I can compare it to is my hd 58x, terms of imaging I would say the maxwell is slightly better, in terms of music performance i do think it is a lot more detailed, especially subbass, upper midrange, and treble
I have the tygr and hd58x but use both with zmf preforeted velour pads. The hd58x wire is swipped for a balanced and my tygr was modded for an aux cable. But I use them with the schiit modimultibit 2 and magni+. I actually play on mw/mw2 on cinema sound setting because everything sounds a bit more natural but prefer the hd58x. I noticed that the tygr made foot steps apparent further away but sounded like the footsteps were closer. I want to try the maxwell as I had the mobius but preferred it for just music and not gaming.
i am enjoying the maxwell so far! I mainly use my hd58x for music listening for sure
@@ryanhostudio yeah, my hd58x is getting a lot more usage than the tygr. I prefer it for movies, music and gaming. I wish I knew the company that I got the balance cable. I have a cardas cable but with the schiit gear it sounds a bit too sharp and bright for my taste.
i still haven’t tried schiit gear but hear good things about that and cardeas cables
@@ryanhostudio cardas can be expensive but drop has a couple of cables. Schiit gear are good, they're deffenitly cheaper and hit a lot higher than their price range. The set up Ientioned is a good one for starting.
Hey man great video! One question if you find the time. 5 months later, how are they holding up? I've noticed a lot of negative posts on the audeze subreddit about maxwells having hit or miss QC, breaking apart or getting crinkly noises in one ear cup but every video review I watch says they're built like tanks. It has me a bit spooked, but the video reviews have me excited for mine to come.
i personally havent had any issues with mine
Hi man, thank you for this video. I mainly play Warzone, what advice do you advise me between the maxwell and the TYGR 300? Thank you for your help
maxwell
So these Maxwell's are a little bit of an improvement over the wired 598 Sr by Sennheiser? I have like 6 year old ones that are getting a bit worn and would love to get wireless if it gets to the point where the quality in sound is close.
i heard my friends hd598, honestly the maxwells are wayyyy better lol
What do you make of the common option that Audeze headphones have complaints too often with their products and need to be sent in for repair to drivers or other parts? Is it still true or has Audeze improved in this aspect? Thank you.
i dont know about drivers but the hinges breaking on there headphones is most definitely true, which is probably one of the main reasons the maxwell made of metal instead to improve its reliability. They also added a headstrap that is replaceable and made the earcups easily replaceable by turning them to take off
I dig your video. Is there anyway to get a dac/amp for xbox series x without using a TV? I'd LOVE step by step walk through with product links
i wish i could help you but I am a PC gamer so not familiar with the xbox setup
Did you use 3.5mm out on the front of K9 pro to use Audeze Maxwell wired? Or did you solely use DAC inside of K9 Pro by using line out on rear by using something like rca to 3.5mm?
3.5mm from front using 6.35mm adapter
Hi Ryan I play on ps5 only how would they sound I just ordered these but do you think there too too heavy currently using nova pro wireless gaming headphones do you think I made the right decision thank you for your time and knowledge
nova pro wireless is a pretty good sounding headphone honestly i heard it before. i would say the maxwell weight is fine, for example i gamed for 6 hours straight today grinding my battle pass for valorant with the maxwell on my head
Is Maxwell sonic upgrade from usual suspects like dt 880 or dt 1990 for example for music ?
tygr 300 r probably closest sounding I have to dt 880 and i think its a significant upgrade in tuning, maxwell has a much more natural sounding
@@ryanhostudio neutral with more or less technicalities?
Can you do a compare betweend the Audeze Maxwell and Beyerdynamic Dt 1990 Pro?
don’t have the dt 1990 pro, only time i heard it was when it had swapped dekoni pads
How About The Hifiman Edition XS Vs The Audeze Maxwell.
xs has bigger and taller soundstage and treble does feel more filled out but a little overdone too, the maxwell has better mids that are more forward
@@ryanhostudio So does the XS have a bigger, or a way bigger soundstage compared to the Maxwell and like how much more? And what sounds more natural in the mids? Sorry if you don't have the Xs at the time. I don't mind a little overdone highs too much. So thats why i'm asking this. Thank you so much for answering the last question! 😉
hi tim the xs is much bigger and taller for sure. the maxwell mids are as natural as it gets, the XS mids are definitely slightly recessed
Hey mate just seeing how much a audio downgrade is the tygr 300r ? As I kind of like a little V shape tuning so it suits my taste for gaming. As tygr is like half the price so it’s more recommendable for me.
honestly i like the maxwell a lot better because the tuning is much more natural i think it’s worth it
@@ryanhostudio yeah thanks for the reply. Also great reviews with comparisons. I haven’t seen another reviewer do this and it helps so much !
@@brentt8940 no problem!
How does the maxwell stack up against the edition XS?
hifiman xs definitely bigger soundstage because open back and even taller drivers. maxwell will have more subbass and the midrange will be a little more forward and present. The treble depends on person but the xs definitely has more a treble emphasis so could sound more detailed up top but could sometimes get harsh compared to maxwell
Hey Ryan... Have you tried the Maxwell wired with a 3.5 from an actual headphone amp? Can that even be done or is the 3.5 just for connecting to an Xbox/PS5 controller or a Switch? Thanks. I just Pre Ordered a Limited Edition Xbox Maxwell
im the guy who hooks up the maxwell to my smsl su-9 and ifi ican amp. Yes it works on actual headphone amp. I just make sure to boost the maxwell volume/amp as high as i can before i hear white noise, which is normally 3 clicks volume from maximun on maxwell. Then i plug it into amp at low gain (all of this is to ensure safety of headphones)
@@ryanhostudio Cool. I'm definitely going to use the Maxwell wired with an amp most of the time
Im kinda torn between the Sennheiser HD58x and the Audeze Maxwell for gaming. Im not sure which one I should get. I am trying to upgrade from my Corsair Virtuoso SE and after watching a bunch of reviews. Im kinda leaning more towards the Maxwell. What would you go for? Also, I grind val and league alot and I want to be able to hear everything without audio getting muddled and mixed. I really want to get into the whole audiophile market. I tried out the Sennheiser HD599 and they sounded great and after that I was obssessed but the footsteps on val didnt really sound great and more often than not I just kept getting lost. Should I just get the Maxwell over the HD58X? GREAT VID BTW. by far the best review video ive seen.
i for sure would get maxwell over hd58x maxwell is a lot better
@@ryanhostudio thank you bro!!! ill just get those then. super sick vid btw and thanks for the quick reply!!
no problem!! enjoy!!
@@ryanhostudio I just got the headset! It is by far the best sounding one I have ever gotten. I barely had to tweak it with the EQ. The bass was a bit loud for me but after using dolby atmos with it, it just became the perfect headset. Thank you for the recommendation man! I am so happy with the new headset!!
Thank you for a great comparison. How does the Maxwell sound quality compare to the Cloud Orbit S (Mobius)?
if you check the main maxwell review i did a comparison to the cloud orbit s but long story short its a slight improvement in sound quality
@@ryanhostudio I just watched that review but it doesn't go into any details. Can you share a bit on how big of an improvement on sound and in what aspects?
@@divertiti the noise floor is much lower so you dont hear the hiss, theres better subbass presence and definition and the highs do sound cleaner
@@ryanhostudio awesome, thank you Ryan
Hi. I'm currently using Hyperx Cloud II wireless and looking for an upgrade. Of course for gaming, but I also want a headphone that has an edge in terms of listening to music either on my phone or my pc.
Is Maxwell my go to headphone? I mean compared to some top gaming wireless headphones out there such as the ones from turtle beach, razer, logitech, arctis, etc.
yep maxwell is best sound quality with low latency dongle
just wonder if upgrade is needed as i got Penrose and nova pro wireless already
if your penrose isn’t broken no need
Have you compared them to the Beyer Dynamic DT770(250ohm)'s by any chance?
the beyer pretty good headphone if you don’t mind the treble spike, but i’d take audeze maxwell over it
Would you say getting the maxwell over analog headphones (I have the pc38x) for audio quality is good? I’m considering upgrading for audio purposes and idk if I need a higher end wired headphone or the maxwells (wirelessly)
Side note I do fps gaming and music listening primarily
The audio quality is really good I would definitely just get the maxwell, the reason why is you get a really great sounding headphone that also has the capability of using wireless if you wanted to, but also just normal analog if thats how you would rather use it, because its so versatile in my opinion.
@@ryanhostudio follow up question lol. I use a GO XLR with my current analog to control audio levels to my headset. I've seen people using an aux with potentially a loop to remove possible hissing. Do you feel that setup with these will impact the audio if I do wireless? I'm sure if i use the 3.5 directly into the goxlr it'll be fine if not better based on your comments once you plugged into a amp/dac
@@DarthMixo in my experience there is slight hiss if headphone amplifier is maxed, but if you lower it a little bit you actually wont hear a hiss. But you dont want to lower it too much and overload it with your external dac amp so its just adjusting it slowly to find the happy medium
@@ryanhostudio gotcha. my dude i appreciate the feedback. i look forward to more of your content
what do you think abount maxwell and vzr model one?
i heard the vzr model one at canjam before it was a finished product, and at that time i liked the audeze mobius better, so safe to say i’d probably like maxwell more but maybe they made it alot better after i heard it
Hey good video!
From what I understand, the maxwells need to be turned on even when plugged in through 3.5mm auxiliary and thats because the dsp and power is all provided internally.
Are you just plugging it into a dac by itself or a dac+amp combo?
i have a dac amp combo the smsl su-9 and ifi pro ican! but you can’t use the mic when plugged in that way but i have a desktop mic anyways so it doesn’t make a difference!
i do use it bluetooth and usb c mode alot too
@@ryanhostudio other reviewers have said that using an amp or dac setup is redundant because of the onboard digital processing.
I don't think the DAC is whats making it sound better, it's just the wired connection itself since wired still has higher bandwidth than the latest Bluetooth codecs.
@@ryanhostudio thanks for clearing up some confusion.
I think they were trying to specifically refer to the amp and not a DAC, I can see how a DAC would affect the quality. But they more or less are correct about not requiring an amplifier specifically.
A lot of people don't do a very good job of explaining the difference.
the amplifier is required to boost the signal to make it louder that why the maxwell has to be powered on when using it 3.5mm
You risk damaging the headphone with a amp.
how does the maxwell perform in movie? I wonder if you had tried that with atoms enabled, thanks bro
i binged vikings valhalla season 2 on netflix and it was really good! i haven’t tried atmos yet
Huh??? I’ve heard multiple other audiophiles say specifically not to use a separate amp could you please clarify!!
you don’t need separate amp i just tried it because i can. Everything you plug into 3.5mm has an amp, it’s just that a dedicated amp can be very powerful and if you turn it way to high you can risk damaging headphones internal amp
@@ryanhostudio Roger that :) thank you
is it better than the Arctic Novapro directionally and on footsteps?
i only demo the arctic nova pro wireless at a store but never got to try it in games so can’t make evaluation
@@ryanhostudio Do you think the maxells are good for footstep and directional for warzone? there are better
@@herobravo maxwells currently aren't the best for footsteps. We are waiting for eq settings to get fixed so we can modify it so it has alot of potential.
How does the Maxwell sound quality compare to the Penrose in your opinion?
i did a comparison to cloud orbit s (same drivers as penrose) in my full review, but basically the similar with slight improvements.
built in amplifier is very quiet which i found to be a big improvement
@@ryanhostudio makes sense, thanks!
Im undecided between the Maxwell and the hd560s for gaming
if you want ultimate sound quality i think maxwell si better
@@ryanhostudio I figured the sound quality would be great on the Maxwell but my concern is that it’s closed back vs open back with the hd560s and the open back would help with directional for enemies behind you that’s what’s throwing me off
I wonder how the maxwells compare to the S 490 pro
haven’t heard the 490 pro yet but i didn’t have high expectations of it anyways because i already heard the 660s2 and hd 560s, which means it lacks the juicy bass for me lol
FYI .. whatever camera you're using has a dead pixel roughly dead center and down about 1/5 the screen.
thanks it might just be dust on the lens ill clean it
@@ryanhostudio .. It's no big deal, I first thought it was my TV. Way back when I had a digital recorder with a very similar issue. I hope it's dust. 👍😎
audeze vs pc38x?
i only have the epos h6 pros which uses the same drivers as pc38x, but basically it comes down to epos h6 pros having the best imaging ive tried in any gaming headphone and bigger soundstage while audeze has better tuning and detail
I don't think you are supposed to plug the Maxwell or Penrose (Orbit) into a DAC/ Amp because they already have them built in. I heard it could damage them.
it’s only if turn them too loud on amplifier. what i do is turn the headset amplifier to max before i even turn the amplifier dial, that way it prevents me from overloading it
if you plug maxwell 3.5mm into a pc, switch, phone, controller those are all dac amps….i think they are just worried about the crazy audiophiles who turn the knob to max volume on high gain and break it which is fair point
Does the weight of the maxwell get fatigueing?
i feel it after like 3 hours or so but keep in mind i own the he6sev2 which is already 500 grams so i’ve already kind of used to heavier headphones
@@ryanhostudio Yeah after 3 hours id be more worried about the sweaty heat
@@coolmemesbudd maybe because its so cold right now that its not really an issue for me
is Audeze m100 sound better than lcd 2 or lcd gx?
Thank you
problem with older audeze headphones like the lcd-2 and gx is there upper midrange tuning is very dipped, which makes vocal sound kind of muffled and not detailed. The mm-100 has much more presence in that region and sounds much more natural and better to me
can you compare them to m500 and arya/he1000 last version? is it huge jump. which 1 of three you recommend first.
I ordered m100 for desktop use and planning to get high-end hp this week.
@@ryanhostudio Thanks I appreciate your help.
@@yooanto9465 if you have the budget i would definitely recommend the mm-500 if you want a really nice sounding and tuned headphone. I am not a fan of arya series, the he1000 stealth magnet is the best version and i would only recommend that one if you tried it first and its not too bright for you. The MM-500 is a no brainer choice in my opinion
@@ryanhostudio cool I like audez lcd 3 and hope mm500 is lighter in weight.
Can you tell me why your taste lean more towards audeze not hifiman?
hey just a warning, DO NOT plug the maxwell into a DAC. It's gonna damage the internals and Audeze already has a built-in DAC in the maxwell so any more amplification besides its optimized specs are gonna damage it
headset = has mic attached to the unit. Headphone = no mic attached to the unit from the factory. Sennheiser is more audiophile than Hifiman.. just sayin. Also. DO NOT PLUG wireless Audeze gaming headsets into a DAC/AMP. They have their own dual amp setups in the earcups and plugging them into something that is also applying power to the unit is going to lead to some major issues over time.
Hey not to knock your review but I’m 99% positive plugging in the Maxwell to a dac does nothing because there is a dac in the headphone. You can test this if they still need to be powered on and the eq still works while plugged into the wired dac. Maybe worth looking into a little more just to be sure your review is as accurate as possible. Great review and sweet collection!!
hi it does have a dac inside which it uses during wired usb, bluetooth, and usb dongle mode. however wired 3.5mm it is using its built in amplifier and the conversion is done from the dac it’s plugged into.
@@ryanhostudio Good to know. Do you know if the mic works as well ehile plugged into a dac?
@@Slyclientthetechdad it wont for the dac im using because its purely only for audio. Only if its plugged into a combo jack for audio and mic
Why he change his voice while talking... he starts speaking normal then seems to have ball hair in his mouth
This video is nonsense because you compare apples with pears.
I felt sleepy listening to you
my friend uses my voice to sleep so not surprised
comparing open backs to closed backs🤦♂
crazy concept
@@ryanhostudio True that lol
Wired vs wireless 😂😂😂😂😂 no point.
You kind of got a point. Anything wired vs wireless have some difference, but thoughts differences are so small it basicly is kind of "Pointless" But! you do want it in the "best form" in comparisons.
Does the cloud orbit s sound better with the DAC as well?
it does however the biggest issue i found is the built in amplifier is a lot more noisy in the cloud orbit s so when you plugged it in 3.5mm alot of the time the noise floor was distracting.
maxwell depending on volume level it’s either dead silent or a small hiss
Before 2 reviews was on the product page. 1 review 5 star, and 1 review 3 star. They removed the 3 star from there website. Only for this reason alone not gona buy 1. They are crooks.
sounds sus
