I have had these for about 90 days. If you are on the fence do yourself a favor and buy them, it really brings the game to another level. I can never go back to another headset. I literally tried the Steel series, Razr, Turtle beach, and microsoft headsets. I sent them all back for one reason or another. The Maxwell's blows them all out of the water. They are not even in the same world.
@@alsius9162 when you get the maxwells turn off the volume limiter and hone in the EQs. The headset is sublime. I also use it to listen to music because of its fantastic sound. 90 MM planar drivers offer up to 50,000 hz. Also battery life is 80 hours. I’ve only charged my headset a hand full of times since getting them. The flaws I have are that they are a little bulky and the ear pads can be a little hot. I thought the weight was gonna be an issue but once I put them on I don’t even notice it. I got ear pads that make it cooler so that issue is solved. Totally happy with my purchase. Unlike the other headsets I’ve used the Maxwell’s are more versatile and just better in every aspect. I use them as a headset for pc, Xbox, and music.

@@jamesstevens968 Thank you for your concerns, but I think I will be fine with this choice. I've had some pretty hefty headphones above 400 grams in the past years. I usually wore them all day long and I've never had any fatigue due to the weight on my neck. I already have a great audio setup focused on a natural sound signature. So having a gaming focused pair of Bluetooth headphones would be a great addition to the setup. The only Bluetooth headphones I own right now are my 4 year old Skullcandy Crusher Evo's. They're a really fun kit for bass heads like me but they kind of lack in terms of audio quality and basic functions. I need a serious upgrade and I think the Audeze Maxwell's fit my criteria perfectly. They would replace my old and worn out Skullcandy headphones, and the Sennheiser PC38X pair I use for gaming. A 2-in-1, two birds with one stone kind of purchase in my opinion. No more dealing with wires when I'm gaming. Also experiencing a "fun" and unique sound signature that isn't really killing the sound quality overall. The reason why they also replace my Skullcandy headphones is because of how unique and lively planar drivers sound. They aren't as boring as conventional dynamic drivers in my humble opinion.

It's true that the mic doesn't do much for the price, but I don't play online games at all and don't much care about it. However, a mic-less, cheaper alternative would be better for my specific use.
That mic might add a dollar or five to the cost.... It would cost the company more in alternative packaging, branding, and manufacturing flow to offer a micless version
These are the jack of all trades and the master of all .. pretty much anyway. Fricken weird how they do it. Also, you do not need the xbox ones, yet prob worth it. If you buy the software licence for Dolby Access and DTS Sound Unbound for Dolby Atmos and DTS X it is the same. He should have mentioned that.

It cant, but i know that before purchasing. I feature I didn't needed. It can be connected at the same time but only one sound from each source at the time
Got these a few months ago. Super uncomfortable. I usually wear headphones for multiple hours at a time. These were never ones that I could wear for any length of time. The wheel isn't good for quickly making adjustments. I'm not a gamer and only bought these for Audio and watching TV and movies. Took them back and after buying the Bose Ultras know I made the right decision to return the Audeze
I wish thy would make a lightweight pair. I sit on my computer for way too long and it's just more comfortable having less weight on my head for extended use.
The problem of a heavy headset has never been the neck@@GoombahGoombahGoombah, but the top of your head and ears. I don't do any type of martial arts like you and I can just wear them for days straight without and issue. I think wearing a headset for a long period of time is more important than training the neck for that. It was uncomfortable at the beginning when I had my first headset a long time ago, but now I can wear anything for 10h a day, even the heaviest Maxwell compared to my wired Logitech which are super light compared to the audeze
I think for audio quality, everyone say Maxwell is better. But I can't put my Nova Pro Wireless down because of its features. The DAC is perfect for me and allows many streamer pro settings.
Nice sir.... When you do your sound test when you did your you're saying it's got a AI technology, is it any chance that you can do it with the second part of it so what's your typing and see if the the mic cancel that keyboard sounds please .. 😊
They don't play loud enough and randomly sound muted in power dvd and i have all other drivers for sound disabled. Good sound quality and soundstage but i want to return them and buy something else Do your research from other users what problems had with this headphone and not only hear positive side because they also have a really bad side that none of the reviewers said nothing about Software is nothing special . Planar units are awesome but all the unit have really bad execution trying to do a lot of things and at the end mess all things up I really want to return them back after 4 days of listening music and playing a lot of hours of gaming
Did you change any settings when you did the mic test? I only ask, because you have one of the best sounding mic tests for this headset review, it almost sounds like you didn't even switch between your production mic and the headset mic.
I don't know. I just got these and I've been messing with the EQ, but all of the presets out of the box sound super bad. I was able to fix it to a degree with a custom preset which helped to a degree. Another thing is they're a little too quiet. Don't get me wrong the audio is crisp as hell. But I honestly have to say the astro a50 gen 4s are a lot easier to set up, come with better presets, and are slightly louder granted the audio isn't as clear and the battery life sucks but at least you can plug it in and use it for anything with out really using the software
Yo Keith, fellow Bruns brother. I have the opportunity to get a pair missing the dongle for 180. Let me know if you're keeping yours, and have you tested with wired output. My intention is to use with ifi go blu for gaming. Or do you want to trade something
They’re great, except the side tone performance is pathetic. Crackly & noisy. I had a $30 pair of Turtle Beaches from 15 years ago that sounded nearly perfect. That said everything else is top notch.
thats the one reason i cant get away from my blackshark v2 pro. good sound and an awesome mic. its really hard to justify upgrading to these, but i would love a little better audio quality.
@@gmtoleo they are more than enough for communication in games/chat it's not made for broadcast or singing if you really want something better just get a real mic.
It is still made with that crappy plastic that after one year crumbels in your fingers ? I got the penrose and after 1 year the platic started to break under the amallest stress. No thak you Audeze, not ever again I will buy a product from you.😢
Happened to me too just recently the plastic swivel arm crumbled in the middle of a game the whole earpiece started falling off my ear the only thing holding it on was the wire.
@@triple9_ For real I tried the Blackshark V2 Pros(2023 edition) While they were better than the Corsair Virtuoso XT they had nothing on the sound level and build quality the Maxwell's have. I got the Xbox version for my PC/Xbox and the Atmos sounds better than the THX surround did for the Razer. Unless We are talking about Audio Technica or Sennheizers there isnt gaming headset that comes close to the Maxwell's. Maxwell's definitely give wired gaming headsets a good run for their money.
Save your money people! Bought them a couple months ago. We’re great for a day or two. Then they stop turning on,have to always plug them into laptop to get dongle and headset to pair. Now they’ve run down out of charge. I’ve had them on charge for an hour or so and won’t charge,won’t turn on and no light. Not to mention they start to crackle a day into having them .. save you money!!! They’re great sounding but that’s no good if you can’t turn them on!

Great headset BUT they are pretty heavy i had to refund mine cause i got headaches from the uncomfy headband and the weight pressing down on my head
Lmao 😂 bro get a grip. No way your neck is that weak that you can’t wear a pair of headphones 😂😂😂😂
@@HungAF Never said anything about my neck learn to read man
These are more comfortable than my 2.700 dollars HifiMan audiphile headphones.
Those pads make my ears itchy, maybe I'm allergic lol
Nice sir.... When you do your sound test when you did your you're saying it's got a AI technology, is it any chance that you can do it with the second part of it so what's your typing and see if the the mic cancel that keyboard sounds please .. 😊
it looks like you almost maxxed out the headstrap height when you put it on. doenst look like it would be good for anyone with a bigger head
You can adjust the head strap even more because of where it's screwed into the headband. It has 2 other places you can screw it in to
They don't play loud enough and randomly sound muted in power dvd and i have all other drivers for sound disabled. Good sound quality and soundstage but i want to return them and buy something else
Do your research from other users what problems had with this headphone and not only hear positive side because they also have a really bad side that none of the reviewers said nothing about
Software is nothing special .
Planar units are awesome but all the unit have really bad execution trying to do a lot of things and at the end mess all things up
I really want to return them back after 4 days of listening music and playing a lot of hours of gaming
Can you use xbox version of this headset with pc?
@@gerd9487 yes
Mine just went silent on one side
got this head(ps version)it was pretty good but if you got a decent headset its not worth it to upgrade
Which version is compatible with PC? I only see playstation and xbox
both versions are compatible with windows
Did you change any settings when you did the mic test? I only ask, because you have one of the best sounding mic tests for this headset review, it almost sounds like you didn't even switch between your production mic and the headset mic.
Is this a newer version ? Just asking cause you said they've got better
That why im here also. What new ?
@@chasedeluca8636 Same here. Very misleading title!
No, he added 3rd party pads and stated it made them better.
@@EverlastingMarshall you had time today
@@EverlastingMarshall 3rd party pads are shit ton better on these thou.
I don't know. I just got these and I've been messing with the EQ, but all of the presets out of the box sound super bad. I was able to fix it to a degree with a custom preset which helped to a degree. Another thing is they're a little too quiet. Don't get me wrong the audio is crisp as hell. But I honestly have to say the astro a50 gen 4s are a lot easier to set up, come with better presets, and are slightly louder granted the audio isn't as clear and the battery life sucks but at least you can plug it in and use it for anything with out really using the software
Yo Keith, fellow Bruns brother.
I have the opportunity to get a pair missing the dongle for 180.
Let me know if you're keeping yours, and have you tested with wired output.
My intention is to use with ifi go blu for gaming. Or do you want to trade something
Where have you found that deal 😫😫😫
Here in Europe they are at least 400 everywhere
@@f.f.2260 Adorama. They have more.
@@f.f.2260 its probably a used set, thats why its cheap because its missing a dongle but yeah everywhere they go for about 400 brand new
They’re great, except the side tone performance is pathetic. Crackly & noisy. I had a $30 pair of Turtle Beaches from 15 years ago that sounded nearly perfect. That said everything else is top notch.
TLDR; get new pads.,
for a 300 dollar headset the mic IMO doesn't sound that great
I agree
@@simply_marko sound is one thing but Mic quality is huge for me
@@slipk0rvayne17 play around with eq in adobe audition, it makes it bearable
It’s one of the best mics on any headset
@@KateKehoe-on6cfif it really so, I'd better grab 50$ table mic that outperforms it easily
Audeze nuts. Plz no ban me... 🥺🤣
Gottem
If the mic was better, I would have bought them.
They sound okay, is a better sounding mic more important for you in a gaming headset than the sound? Who are you tryna flirt up on with your voice
@@GoombahGoombahGoombah no one wants a shitty mic😭
thats the one reason i cant get away from my blackshark v2 pro. good sound and an awesome mic. its really hard to justify upgrading to these, but i would love a little better audio quality.
@@gmtoleo they are more than enough for communication in games/chat it's not made for broadcast or singing if you really want something better just get a real mic.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I bought on because of this video. Shame onyou sham on me ;)
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It is still made with that crappy plastic that after one year crumbels in your fingers ? I got the penrose and after 1 year the platic started to break under the amallest stress. No thak you Audeze, not ever again I will buy a product from you.😢
Nope, metal
All-New Reinforced Chassis Built with Aluminum and Steel
Maybe watch the video
Happened to me too just recently the plastic swivel arm crumbled in the middle of a game the whole earpiece started falling off my ear the only thing holding it on was the wire.
Me neither.
Don’t buy it it’s a waste of money had them for a few months and sold them! It’s just shite get the Razer Blackshark v2 pro’s instead
Lmao😂
At least explain WHY
@@TheRealLegenDzbro is tripping hard
I did the exact opposite you high off meth if you think the Razer Blackshark is a better product its probably why you dont smile in your picture
@@triple9_ For real I tried the Blackshark V2 Pros(2023 edition) While they were better than the Corsair Virtuoso XT they had nothing on the sound level and build quality the Maxwell's have. I got the Xbox version for my PC/Xbox and the Atmos sounds better than the THX surround did for the Razer. Unless We are talking about Audio Technica or Sennheizers there isnt gaming headset that comes close to the Maxwell's. Maxwell's definitely give wired gaming headsets a good run for their money.
Save your money people! Bought them a couple months ago. We’re great for a day or two. Then they stop turning on,have to always plug them into laptop to get dongle and headset to pair. Now they’ve run down out of charge. I’ve had them on charge for an hour or so and won’t charge,won’t turn on and no light. Not to mention they start to crackle a day into having them .. save you money!!! They’re great sounding but that’s no good if you can’t turn them on!
You must have received a defective pair,
