    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.

    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.

    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.

      ⁠@@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.

  • @dylan6525
    @dylan6525 6 месяцев назад

    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.

    The Audeze Maxwells would be no brainers for me if they had simultaneous Bluetooth. Is there any major reason the nova 7s are your main headphones? I might just go with those after already being happy enough with my arctis 7x. Great video btw!

    Hey I just got my gaming pc rig setup and I am looking for a wireless headset. Im stuck between the Razer Blackshark V2 2023, Arctis Nova 7X Wireless, vs HyperX - Cloud Alpha Wireless? I've been researching for too long. I play games like call of duty and so I definitely want some bass but I also play story focused games and would like some clean audio that is immersive. Which one should I pick? Thanks!

    @Ice_2192 7 месяцев назад +3

    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.

    Trying to find a replacement for my wired steelSeries Arctic Pro + gamedac since the rightside joint is starting to brake off, But its soo hard to see what headset is better..
    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 ;-;

    In Audio Comfort is King 👑 .. I don't need a chastity belt on my head! My picks are my HiFiMan XS Edition (or ANANDA-Stealth Magnets Version) Schiit Amp/DAC, and Røde microphone along with Dolby Atmos. To me it's like wearing nothing on my head. I also prefer open-back headphones.

    • @DJaquithFL
      @DJaquithFL 7 месяцев назад +1

      .. Drop Sennheiser HD58X at $150 vs HD 6XX at $200, the HD58X are much easier to drive but the HD6XX are considerably noticeably better sounding especially for the extra $50. Both headphones are gateway headphones to audiophile headphones.
