I had a question I need a wireless headset for my series x and I Only have 200$ I was thinking between the Beoplay portal (200 on Amazon) and the Nova 7x. I previously had the Steelseries 9x and that was a mess , so I want something something with a better connection. Thanks ( I am open to any headset )
Hi man excellent work. Would you recommend the maxwell over the pro wireless dac or nova pro for driving simulation like iracing or asseto corsa . Do you make presets for these titles ? I own the pro wireless dac and using the forza preset . Thanks in advance
Hot tip don't pry the SteelSeries battery cover. Twist it and it'll essentially disengage the magnets off each other and it'll fall off when you give it a tilt. Likewise when reattaching just put it on and spin it until it finds the magnet with the opposite polarity
Have to , I’ve filed my nails and skin particles so many times 😫 I just got mine last week any suggestions ? I wanna work on the EQ but some PSN players say my mic is too low
@@mickael486 It is rather odd that they are out of stock, but Joe did hint at something special coming down the pipe, when we was at a recent Can Jam.
@@gigolocalypsetv5520 This dude has been busy. I'll watch his vidoes just for the education even if I'm not currently in the market for what he's reviewing. for example, that Projector video yesterday was really informative.
@@mickael486 Yeah, he does so great work and covers a wide range of tech, from a place of knowledge. I appreciate he is that happy middle ground of consumer friendly/deep dive analysis reviews. I do sometimes dabble in Crinacle but that's for the more hardcore, so Joe is the more relaxed, but just as informative option.
Yeah, if they had a Wireless version, I'd 100% them. But just being able to walk away and do other things, as God-Awful and shitty the Nova Pro Wireless are, their wireless range/efficiency, and battery swap keep me from consistently using the VZR, even though they're incredible.
Congrat on the channel growth! Would be good to see non gaming headset headphones around this price range added in to the discussion for a more complete comparison for those who are willing to buy their mic separately. As a separate video if you want would be fine, say a price tier oriented video.
Thanks! I have a lot of big stuff planned over the coming months. I feel like I always say that, but some big things have come out and the channel keeps getting bigger, so I appreciate the support! More to come :)
Amazing reviews, extremely comprehensive. After watching a bunch of your videos I pulled the trigger on the Maxwells and I am very happy with my purchase, I’ve never had an “audiophile” headphone before and honestly didn’t know what I was missing out on. I can honestly say that my other sources of enjoying music have been ruined by the quality of the Maxwell. My AirPods sound like I’m listening to music through a cardboard box compared to these, I thought my car sounded good (it’s not bad by any means) but wow… superb sound quality from these cans. Keep up the awesome reviews. Liked and subscribed!
I bought a Sonos Era 300 and connected it to my MacBook Pro which a high frequency cable and I think I was reborn. Listening through earbuds of any kind now makes me want to gag
I bought the VZR headphones due to your review and haven't looked back. They replaced my Sennheiser mmx300, Astro A40 TR. They are the best, Period. The Advantages they give you has brought my KD up 27 points and Climbing. Sound is getting in positional situation to eliminate the Threat. No more hearing sound and looking around at where it's coming from. Thanks G.T.
Seriously. I thought mine was faulty until I changed my audio settings from home theatre to speakers. I use dts headphone x and Astro mixamp pro tr. the positional accuracy is perfect.
Quality video! Glad you put the workhorses together, because these are the top marks I go against. My Model One smoked my Nova Pro Wireless, which is why I didn't mind being wired up. Coupled with the Schiit Hel 2, I can only believe VZR will be the ones to top their own headset. Now, the Maxwell is really pulling at my wallet. I honestly wouldn't say I need it but I know I can be a sound whore, so I chase that unicorn endlessly. It does seem like the Model One and the Maxwell sit at the end of the rainbow, so it's a matter of temptation, if I buy the Maxwell, because I feel I'm already at the gaming audio endgame until VZR tops themselves. I'm hoping they do!
Well I just gave in and placed my order for the Maxwells lol. I hope these companies recognize the trust you’ve built with your community because I wouldn’t have grabbed these if not for your two videos on this headset.
love your videos dude! I do so much research whenever I want to buy anything and you condense all of the questions I have into amazingly edited and detailed videos. Amazing
More convinced to get the Model One when it was available in Europe at every video you make 😅. Great job as usuall!! Take care and see you on your Discord.
Thanks for this review! Just wanted to add that to open the magnetic covers on the arctis nova wireless - just turn the covers until the magnet gets misaligned and the covers fall off - don't need to pry.
Indeed. I've rotated them in the past. Sometimes they just fall off, sometimes I need to mess with them a little. Overall it's not a terrible process, and I'm not sure if they'd even have a better way to do it without making it unreliable. Magnet attachments with how they did it is incredibly reliable.
Will be selling my epos h6pro closed along with my soundblaster gc7 to pick up the Maxwell, i really miss the freedom you get from wireless. Awesome comparison and your review of the maxwell was stellar. You have a new subscriber, keep up the good work.
How did you like the gc7? I'm actually thinking about sending my Maxwells back and getting the VZR Model One and GC7 lol. Mainly looking at the sound blaster to EQ the Model One as well as try super XFI. Curious your thoughts though.
Bro just came across a channel of Many audio reviewers.... your reviews are so clean so precise very OnPoint and now I'm biased towards the products your reviews are very clear and very understandable towards each product... keep up the good work brother I look forward to watching your videos it's refreshing to watch someone good at what they do and is simplistic at the same time... you should definitely have more subscribers and traffic.... much love to you my brother and definitely keep up this good work
I've had my arctis pro wireless for 3 yrs and use them daily. Still on original batteries as well. Seriously impressed that they have lasted and held up this long. I ordered the nova pro wireless.i may switch to nova and keep the pros as a backup. Depends which I like better.
Same had mine since the ps5 came out, they’ve been great. Only issue is the connection around each earcup has become quite loose and move around a lot, feel like they could break if I drop it. Heard that it’s common for those to come loose, how are yours holding up?
@@noorsmith6186mine just broke now I’m looking for a replacement. They held up well but the right ear cuff detached from the band ripping the plastic housing. 😢 I’m thinking about the maxwell but don’t want to leave the sonar gg software.
@@Gcrow_well damn sorry to hear that! Gave mine away to a friend still working but fragile. I’ve actually recently just bought the maxwells, they’re built extremely solid and sound great can’t go wrong. Probably not amazing for footsteps audio but I haven’t tried to change eq settings yet.
You are really good at describing the technology, functions and sound to something understandable! I've so learned so much after following your channel. Thanks! Do you know if the engineers of the factory sound are the same people that add equalizer options? Since you said Audeze know how they want it to sound. But so many companies make shitty options to the equalizer. They either sound too muddy or too tinny.
Everyone who is considering the Nova Pro Wireless needs to pay close attention from 9:52. The ANC knobs Arctis put in there make this headset incredibly uncomfortable after a very short time. The 3rd party cushions ruin the audio, even with the recommended equalizer settings. They are not worth the $350 in my opinion.
I got my fiancée the Nova Pro, and it's definitely the best in my opinion for someone who just wants to play and doesn't want to tinker. The retractable boom mic, the physical "dock" thingy with the knob, the hot-swap batteries, no wires to deal with, the automatic fallback to Bluetooth if you leave the "dock" at home--it's a dream for anyone who "just wants to play." It's also probably the highest-end gaming headset you could get for someone who isn't tech savvy. I got her an ASUS Flow Z13 with the RTX 3080 dock, and she just straight up doesn't ever use the 3080, because docking/undocking is "annoying." But ever since I got them a year ago, she has always had her Nova Pros on for date night, so I can hear her beautiful voice. :] For myself, I'm getting the Maxwell after watching these reviews, and it comes in this week. I'm excited to try it out, as I already have some modded planar headphones that I really like (but they're wired with no mic). I'll let everyone know what I think when I get them! :] EDIT: My short, very personal, review of the Maxwell, as compared to my modded Fostex T50RPs (also planar): Pros: * I love having the boom mic and Filter. It sounds much better than my laptop's mic for meetings, especially in my noisy work environment. * I like not having a wire running down my torso. * They sound great! I noticed something new in a song I like that I hadn't noticed before. I went back to see if I can hear it on my Fostex, and I can, but I hadn't *noticed* it before, if that makes sense. Cons: * They're a bit too big for my head--and the lack of sliders for adjustment means that even trying multiple combinations of "settings" for the headstrap, they still feel ever so slightly off. I could mod this to make them fit better, but the lack of sliders means that as I move my head based on the work I'm doing, I can't adjust them, and that's kinda annoying. * They're more heavy than I'd like. I thought I'd get used to them, but I didn't realize how much I move my head while I work, looking at multiple screens and such. They have so much inertia that I was constantly trying to keep them from falling off when looking around. * They just don't have enough bass for me. I modded my Fostex to enhance bass, and I love them. The Maxwell can be adjusted with onboard DSP, but it's just not the same as having something that physically/naturally produces bass on its own. The software-added bass sounds artificial, if that makes sense. Another thing that isn't really a con, but worth mentioning, is that you can easily mod the Fostex to be semi-open or closed, and you can change that at will. I doubt I could do this to the Maxwell without ruining it. You might say "Clarke! What the hek! You can't just make headphones open or closed at will, they're engineered specifically for the configuration they're in!" But the truth is, while you will definitely hear a difference, I think you'd be lying to yourself if you said you could detect any actual distortion with the naked ear. Not with headphones at this price point with the kind of equipment you'll use them with. It's super nice to close them or open them depending on how it suits the music I'm listening to, but I'm afraid to even attempt dissecting the Maxwell. I just didn't realize how much I liked doing this until I couldn't do it with the Maxwell. Due to the "cons" above, I decided to return the Maxwell. It's possible I could mod the Maxwell to achieve the same results as my Fostex, although I'm not sure--but no matter what, they're heavy, and I don't see that changing. I knew that going in, but failed to take head movement into account. If you won't move your head every 437 milliseconds like I do, then I bet you'll love them. When you take into account the price of the Maxwell and its features, it's seriously amazing--I get the hype! So the reason I'm returning it isn't because it's a bad headset. It's just because I really like how light my Fostex headphones are, and my "open/closed" configuration, and I'm totally willing to lose the good things I had with the Maxwell in return for keeping the good things I have with my Fostex.
Wow, that was quite the writeup! Yeah, unfortunately you cannot make them lighter. Planar headphones are usually heavier because of the magnet structure. The drivers themselves weigh much more than a traditional dynamic driver.
@@GadgetryTech I'm so glad you read my comment, haha, I didn't think anyone would see it. xD Your review was fantastic, by the way; everything you said was very effective at describing the Maxwell, and I can understand the hype! :D
Really would like the Maxwells. Almost bought the Penrose but then issues started being mentioned. Maxwell's aren't available here in Japan, at least I couldn't see them here. Cash is tight atm after the move here, so I guess I'll have time to save while I wait for them to come here. lol Thanks for these reviews.
Buy Audeze! I owned steelseries a screw came out that was physically impossible to be put back in causing it to fall apart completely, they refused to help me. Iv had a PenRose x for 2 years they’re shipping me a brand new one because mine snapped over time from its flexibility. Good company
First! Thanks for this! I am currently using the nova pro wireless. From Singapore here...still waiting for the distributors here to receive maxwell so that they can deliver to meeeee
LOVE these comparisons. Thank you! Quick question - for immersive action/adventure type games, would you go with the Maxwell or Model One. Truly don’t need a mix or any features and would prefer wireless, but not a deal-break if the sound is exponentially better…
Nice review bro . For immersion on the nova pro wireless . What are ur custom equipment settings? Thanks... brotha. Wanted to add as far as the Maxwells and nova pro wireless comparison. Which one has a noticeable wider sound stage on console? My nova pros to me everything is clear but it just sounds like al the sound is so close together . Was wondering if the Maxwell really just surpass the novas in this department for console gaming ? Thanks again
Don't, Audeze doesn't support their products. To make a long story short, my Penrose had a crack in the headband when I got it (bad quality control) they were going to charge me to fix it, when it was brand new. So since everything worked, I just dealt with it. A year later, the ear cup completely falls off. I sent it in and had to pay $150 to get it fixed, and that was months ago. Customer service doesn't respond to emails, and there is no other way to get a hold of them. They have my money and my Penrose.
Got the nova pros for 250, are the maxwells worth the upgrade? I am attracted by the improved mic quality. I do like the light weight and features of the nova pros.
Love your in-depth reviews. Subbed! Question: If you had to pick ONE wired headset (never been a fan of wireless), what headset would you pick? Just got the wired Nova Pro's, ditched the included DAC and paired it with my Sound Blaster AE-7 soundcard and though it sounds pretty good overall... I know there has to be something better... and for sure a better mic since I don't want to have anything extra on desktop.
If it's just for games and I wanted the best wired headset (FPS being strongly considered here), I would buy the VZR Model One. It's just too good for imaging and FPS. Second pick is the EPOS H6PRO if you need a mic.
a question for you - audiophiles always mention wired headsets will always sound better than wireless. do you think that's true with the audeze maxwell? thank you! new to your channel and I LOVE it
Hey great review! By the way, can i ask you which one is better in comfort between audeze maxwell & razer barracuda pros? I am on a verge of getting one of them.
Love this! Thank you. Weird question: around 28:53, you're comparing the H3Pro Hybrid to these and said that while you liked the Penrose sound, you had a finicky connection. Did you mean to say "Epos," or do the Maxwell's have an issue with the connection? I just may have missed that in your Maxwell review.
My guess would be that it's the H3Pro. He said the Maxwell had really good connection in his review, and the H3Pro is known to have kinda meh wireless.
Great video as always. To be honest i was pretty unimpressed by the VZR Model One although i didnt get to use it through my audio interface. It just felt really rumbly like muddy bass and not very clean. I love bass but the mobius had way better sounding and punchier bass IMO
Thank you for the comparison! I think the video speaks for itself, but there's one thing I would like to add regarding the "Simultaneous 2.4GHz and Bluetooth" feature the Nova Pro Wireless supports. Which is that its BT seemingly only supports the SBC audio codec. It's not even mentioned on their specification page. It's the absolute bare minimum and in my humble opinion should never be seriously used for music, movies or games. Should be OK for phone calls. However, albeit anecdotally, codecs like aptX, LC3plus or LDAC will offer an undeniable boost in audio quality. I was interested in a headset that would offer two wireless inputs without sacrificing audio quality. Might take another year or two before we get those in the gaming scene. For now I'll be getting the Maxwell! Thanks again.
Nice callout. Yeah for how a lot of people use the Novas, it's good for things like Discord and watching RUclips/Twitch, but not so much a lossless audio file. It will only get better in time with future models I think, but we'll see what comes. At least the Maxwell is dropping with all but aptX for now.
Don't buy Audeze, they don't support their products and they treat their customers like crap. My Penrose and the money I sent them to fix the Penrose (for a problem it came with new) has been with them for months. The only way to get a hold of them is through emails, and they ignore people. This is actually apparently pretty common.
@@Damitsall Appreciate your reply! I have read similar comments elsewhere. The problem I have is that the only real alternative for my use case would be the SteelSeries Nova Pro Wireless. I've bought their most expensive wireless headset twice in the past. Had both break at the hinges with normal usage. Followed by terrible customer support experiences. So I suppose it's a little bit of a "pick your poison" situation. It will by my first Audeze product and I'm really hoping, and to be fair it does look promising, that the durability will make the Maxwell last for a good amount of years.
@Fluazinam Since it's been taking so long to get my Penrose back, I got the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen2 Max and when they came back in stock the Arctis Nova Pros. Let me tell you, one thing I love about the Nova Pros, is no drop outs. With the Penrose and the 700s, lots of drop outs and bad range. I actually like the comfort on the 700s better, but the Nova Pro is more comfortable than the Penrose. The Steel Series stuff is just built so much better.
@@Damitsall Supposedly they addressed the connectivity issues with the Maxwell! People that have received the headset seem to confirm that. Not to forget the gentleman in this video. It's unfortunate that the Penrose didn't only have durability issues. I'm not sure if I can agree with you on the SteelSeries headsets being built better considering two of mine broke during normal usage. One thing that SteelSeries does better than the competition in my opinion: the ability to swap batteries on the fly. Once you're used to that it's really difficult to go back to cable charging. I'm not sure if they patented it, but I'd love to see that in every headset. Not enough for me to choose it though. I hope you'll get to enjoy your Nova Pro for a long time! :)
Just placed my order for the Xbox version of the Maxwells. Currently using the VZR Model One which is almost perfect from a sound standpoint for me. I like warm sound and bass. I’ve been using the VZRs since September and they are killer. I just want a wireless set that has elite sound. Hopefully the Maxwell delivers
@@zeitneit2837 the Maxwells have the VZRs beat. The clarity at the mid and high range is superior and the Maxwells still maintain a great warmth to the base. This is my first planar headset and they don’t disappoint. The VZRs are still very comfortable and have great sound but not as clear. Also using the Maxwells wireless on PS5 and Xbox is a game changer. Ive had zero interruptions to the wireless connection
Thank you for the comparison. Since you put me on to the Beoplay Portal PS5/PC it’s really been hard to let go of them. I still have the Novas which I use for PC mostly but the Portal comfort is just too amazing, and I’ve grown to love their sound signature. I use it on the PS5. Even with music over Bluetooth it’s a different flavor from my APM but I still really like how it’s so easy on the ears with terrific mids, and the companion app is the best I’ve ever used for a device. My only issue was the overall mic chat performance but I use the wireless mod-mic on the left cup and it’s flawless. The right earcup causes interference but the left works with no issues. Just too comfortable to move on from lol. I also should add I got them on sale so the price wasn’t that bad.
@@BumbleBeeBiH And this is why sound is subjective to the user lol. Plus other dynamics like comfort. I’ve owned and used all he has mentioned here plus some more of the high end models except the new Maxwell and the VZR. What do you personally use right now?
Just found your channel and love your videos. Quick question...when I use headphones it's for fps only. Currently using Philips SHP9500 plugged into controller on series x. Thinking about getting the VZR's. Would they be better than getting a mixamp or dac with the Philips? And if so would the VZR benefit a good amount from a mixamp. Appreciate any info
Yo Gadgetry Tech nice video!How does the Steelseries Arctics Nova Pro Wireless compared to Logitech G Pro X Wireless in terms of footstep and directional audio cue? I mainly play Valorant competitively. Thanks in advance! 😊
Thank you for making such a great video, I recently encountered a problem I would like to ask, I have a h6pro open so I want to buy a gsx 1000 gen 2, but I heard that the sound quality of the adueze maxwell is also good, so I am thinking now should I Which one is better to buy? My first choice is the music sound quality, then the game pace, and then the wireless. Do you have any opinions?
sorry I missed this!!! Did you already switch? Both are excellent. If playing on PC, you can easily EQ the H6PRO to your liking. If you like the idea of wireless, the Maxwell is one of the best sounding headsets ever made. I don't think it's the absolute best in FPS games, but for music and immersion I love it. The H6PRO is one of the best bang for your buck headsets overall.
@@GadgetryTech Thank you bro, I have changed to maxwell, its sound quality is really great, and the wireless is also very convenient, the fps game performance is also good, thank you for the reply!! (Actually, I asked you on head fi XD)
Absolutely fantastic video. Now I just please need you to do a follow up after you have eq the audeze. To see if you find it better than the nova pro wireless. Specifically for gaming, imaging and footsteps. As I trust your opinion very highly. I just purchased the nova pro wireless. But I can take it back and swap it for the audeze. I'm a bit confused now. Please help 😂
Get the audeze maxwell its more immersive better sound at explosions, bass rumble, better at music due to its 90 mm driver compare to 40 mm on the nova pro, the reviewer mentioned it that the maxwell is more immersive on games, better at music and movies i myself will be gettin the maxwell its a no brainer
Right now I have an audeze penroze that is starting to get old. Mainly play shooters. Now looking for something new. Don't like audio settings, just plug and play. Which one would you recommend for xbox? Confused between the maxel and the steelseries. There is also a good offer here in the Netherlands for the Bang and Olfsen, which makes them the cheapest at the moment.
Did you get the xbox version? I'm wondering if you can play on all systems with that one? Also doesn't "xbox wireless" mean that it connects directly the console without a dongle?
I mostly play Valorant and been looking between the VZR and the Maxwell. Footsteps on that game i know are more focused on the highs. Was wondering if the VZR would still be good for Valorant over the others since its more base heavy? Or does it seperate sound well still?
I gotta ask, do I " NEED " a DAC/AMPif I get the VZR model ones? Like is the audio quality gonna sound bad if I don't use it with em or is it only gonna make it slightly better? I only play FPS games and while I do listen to music quite often, the absolute " perfect " sound quality isn't something I really need, as long as the ingame audio, footsteps etc is accurate and it still provides clear audio if I watch movies or listen to music etc. Let me know cause I really don't wanna spend 250-500 euros for that. Please let me know, thanks. Also another thing I gotta ask, I live in Finland ( eu ), can I buy the VZR Model One from amazon? It shows that there's a few in stock for 350 euros and I gotta pay likr extra 100 euros to that for it to be delivered here where I live which is fine, but lmk.
@@stevenprieto87 No. I am still thinking about getting either the audeze maxwell's or the vzr model ones. My current HP's are the steelseries arctis pro which are not " bad " they also cost 200€ but I would definitely wanna upgrade at one point.
@PahEz if you have the nova pros it's not worth it. Keep using it into they break. The difference is minimal and in a year or 2 they'll be something better than both vzr and maxwell.
@PahEz it sucks because I want something like the vzr but also as good sound quality as the maxwells. While being Bluetooth that would last year's. I ordered the maxwell, but I'm pretty sure they aren't lasting over 2 years without breaking.
I have the model one and I am waiting on the maxwell. Fairly new to eq. Could you do an amp/eq setting for fps video? Do you have anything you recommend? I play on ps and Xbox
How would you compare the Maxwell to the Penrose in terms of sound? Is it worth the upgrade? I know the Maxwell somewhat fixed all the build and conection issues of the former product, but maybe the price cut makes it worth it now.
Penrose still sounds great. I think the Maxwell has a better tuned treble out of the box so it's more versatile for me without needing any EQ. I would upgrade from Penrose to Maxwell more for the comfort and wireless performance, and not purely for sound. At a critical level, I still think the Maxwell has the edge.
how about the Focal Bathys, if you had a chance with that comparing to Maxwell (I am aware the price is wayyy higher), just wondering if the Maxwell can beat Bathys with the price advantage when it comes to music/movies beside just gaming, thx bro
Hi! How much better the arctis nova pro sounds compared to the blackshark v2 pro? Would you say it's much better? Is it compatible with devices such as apple TV through bluetooth ?
Great video, indeed. Assuming I don't care that much about the wireless talk, between the epos h6 pro and these maxwells which one would be better considering that I would have to wear them for a long time, and I would have to do a little bit of everything with them from listening to music, to watching videos (and yes even playing games with them, but mostly the other areas)? These maxwells seem great except for the weight issue, because yes as balanced as it can be in my opinion the fact that they weigh twice as much as the epos might be a drawback for several hours of use in a row. Ps. i'm really really really really looking forward to your video on the mmx 300 hoping they will send them to you sooner or later ahah :D, those also attract me very much but it's impossible to find a decent review :(
This comment will probably get swept under the rug but I just wanted to ask, is the arctis nova pro wireless actually good for gaming? I've had mine for a good while now and the base headset out of the box just sounds terrible, like I'm listening to my game through a tin can phone. I've tried adjusting all the eq and everything but no luck. Is it a me problem? all the "preset" eq's for games just don't do anything for it, and it makes games just unplayable bad because my gunshots and sfx are deafening while enemy footsteps and gunshots are super quiet and impossible to tell how far they are or in which exact direction. I got them at an acceptable sounding quality but recently the app deleted and got rid of my custom settings making me realize just how bad the base headset is, which I feel shouldn't be a problem. Is my headset broken or is there something I'm doing wrong? should I just return mine and get the Model one instead?
He did make custom eq in fact he made an official partnership with audeze for many different games. The custom eqs are good in my opinion expect for the pubg one which is quiter for some reason. From my experience the eq do help but by small margin like 3-5%, It’s free performance bump. I’ve been using these headphones since last February and they held up really good. Have you tried the wicked cushions? I’ll swap to those when the originals wear out.
11:34 I could wear a tire on my head if it produced good enough audio. To hell with comfort lol.😂 my least concern personally. So far awesome video can’t wait to hear the rest
what do you think about astro a 50? for me who i like playing game like resident evil,.. the last of us and watching movie...maxwell it's a good choice?
Im really torn between these 3. Imaging is important to me but not from a competitive perspective. I play alot of open world survival games so audio ques could mean life or death. So many mix reviews on all 3 its hard to determine which one to get. VZR the biggest complaint seems to be the Mic. Maxwell is poor imaging. Nova is comfort & sound dynamics.
Don't risk the Nova Pro Wireless in my opinion. Significant risks with all of the problems. None of these "reviewers" actively wear them to the extent that they even have the most basic functions start to have issues. The headband stretches to the point that I literally cut it in half, and overlapped, and sewed it back up. The nub is an issue with a good amount of people's ears (SIGNIFICANT ISSUES with mine), issues with ANC static/hissing that I have at a lower level than others, disconnecting issues. Using $35 WickedCushions to stop the seering ear pain, which only cause alternate issues to occur such as decreasing grip, which already started on the base set itself. The App caused enough issues and spam bugged updates quite literally every other day for weeks, so I just stopped using it at a detriment of the sound. I'd just say try going for the Maxwell. The hot-swap Battery, and Range on the Steelseries is awesome, and the only reason I'm not willing to blow $300+ to test something else, but I'd definitely try something else if I had the opportunity to have never bought these. And most reviews are saying Maxwell fixed the issues the Penrose had anyways, which was what I was going to get, but stopped because of, originally...
Thanks! My (Nova Pro Wireless) NPW has been my most used wireless headset since it launched and it's been holding up well. However, my Maxwell experience has been so great out of the box, I will likely be using those more. I think they are comparably loud on PS5. Right now, the NPW get's louder than the Maxwell does when using it on PC. I think a firmware update may make the Maxwell louder down the road but it's just a speculation at the moment.
While I think the "I can't believe I can't hear that vacuum" is neat, it has little impact on why I would want to buy a gaming headset or any headset, headphones or iem. I'm also surprised how many people care about the ability to do 3 different things at the same time they are playing a game. I think most people are playing in relatively controlled environments and focused on gaming and not all the extras. And that unfortunately, is what you're paying for with the more premium models.
Apparently the metal in the headband for Maxwell breaks easily. "it looks glued" as many people who had it break on them said. Audeze claims they are welded, that must be the weakest weld in the world the amount of it happening. Like no excuse for metal. The old Arctis Pro, the hinge plastic thingy is easily seen cracking because.. plastic but you'd expect better from metal.
I had the penrose and had to return them because of horrible wireless connection. Literally had to be 3-4ft away from PS5 or I would get pops and clicks every few minutes. My other gripe was the highs. They were painful to my ears very simbilant to my ears. I'm not a huge fan of neutral headphones because of this. Do the Maxwell's have ear piercing highs like the penrose?
Oh boy, can't wait for this one. I'll go into this one now, but one question, when you max out the size for the turtle beach stealth 700 gen 2, is it bigger, or smaller than the maxwell? Otherwise the 700G2 won't fit my head other wise, wanna make sure the maxwell fits my big potato 😂🥔
Okay, I've finished the video, amazing comparison, being honest, being neutral and saying what's good and bad, lovely as always Joe, man I hope they sort the xbox Maxwell.. And get it to Europe, and also, I hope it fits my head LOL.
I have bent the metal part of TB Stealth 700 Gen 2s on both sides to fit my massive head. Makes it second most comfortable headset I have ever worn after Razer blackshark V2 pro.
Thanks! The Maxwell on the largest headband setting is within 2mm of the 700 G2 Max at the largest setting. With the Maxwell having larger cup openings, it's likely going to fit your noggin just fun haha. If anything, it has a lighter clamp, so you may even like it more.
@@GadgetryTech haha thanks for checking it out for me =) Much appreciated!!💙☺️I'll definitely give the Maxwell a try, once they sort out the xbox version, and maybe even bring it sooner or later to Europe😊😊. I can't wait tbh haha.
I know this video is old now, but with the Steelseries magentic sides, just spin it, and it breaks the magnet away and makes it 10x easier to get off the earcup.
Hey man. Not including the mic test/comparison is a bit of a miss imo. Could have just worn the headset and used each mic you were talking about the differences. Then again I’ve never really edited video audio. So may not just be that easy. Great vid otherwise dude 👌
It's actually quite easy but I was essentially making this video too long as it was. In my dedicated reviews for each headset, I did mic tests. Going forward I will likely plan on including mic tests regardless, even if it's just 10 seconds each to help make it easier. Thanks for calling it out!
I used to play the Astro a40s before i switched to pc and then when i switched i bought a pc with a soundcard that apparently did not have an optical. The A40s do not perform nearly as well without optical imo. So my next audio upgrade was the orchestra lite IEM's. I have loved them but as time has went by i thought i was missing out on some directional audio cues so i just bought the VZR's based on your reviews. Imo it has not been a pleasant experience. The bass is way too heavy and outside of footsteps being very clear and the imaging of where they are coming, when i play Apex, and things start to ramp up with fighting, everything gets muddied. It feels like the headphones cant handle all the noises at once so everything kind of becomes the same if that makes sense. I have to also turn my dac up twice as loud compared ro my IEM's in order to get it on the same volume level as the IEM's so they just aren't as powerful. Maybe its a just sound I'm not used to or its a tune not meant for me. I really wanted to like these. I wish i understood how to eq things but in my little experience of using sonar i havent been able to make the VZR's sound any better to me. I'm thinking of returning them and getting the audeze maxwells for neutral sounding experience. I believe the iems i own are a more neutrally tuned so maybe id enjoy them more?
I eq’d the shit out of my Penrose to finally give me pretty good imagery specially compared to the stock tune. I have stock on the first setting and then the eq’d one on setting Two and Jesus it’s a huge difference in apex legends. The stock eq on the penrose is not for fps either at all lol.
I just ordered a Vzr model one, it’s supposed to be here Monday. I currently have the Nova Pro Wired, I also have a Mayflower arc mk2. I mainly play fps, so I am looking for directional awareness and foot step audio. Any suggestions for a dac/amp? I am on Ps5 and also have a audio extractor connected so I have the ability of optical. Is the Mayflower probably the best I can do on console? Or is there something better I would look at?
I don't think you can go wrong with any choice. I came came down to nova pro and maxwell for xbox, as my ls50x, which was great for the price I paid. Obviously, I would expect the maxwell to sound a bit better.... I'm seeing mixed reactions from buyers, but I'm guessing properly eqed, it does. Sadly, it's amazing how many people get headsets that have full eq and don't have a clue or don't at least Google good eq settings. Sadly, in favor of fancy features, audeze ditched a bunch of basic features, the biggest for me being simultaneous Bluetooth, and transparency, for when I need to hear around me. I'm not disappointed though. Thanks, likely to Xbox noise suppressionin chat, according to friends, the mic sounds great, and eqedv properly it has easily the best audio of any steelseries I've used, and having kids, the transparency mode has been great. I don't think you can go wrong pending on needs, but at least on Xbox, I can say the novas do great and are priced pretty good for the well balanced experience.
I just bought the Maxwells, coming from a wired HyperX Cloud II and I'm so insanely disappointed in the sound quality and mic quality for a $300 headset. It sounds so flat with no depth, virtually zero bass. I'm not a thumping basshead either. I tweaked the bass and treble up a little bit on the HyperX with EQ software but out of the box they still sounded decent. I played a few games with the Maxwells straight out of the box and hated it. My favorite songs sounded so dull. I even looked up a bass boosted song on youtube and had no idea when the bass was supposed to start, so I switched back to my HyperX and realized it was boosted from the start, I just couldn't hear it on the Maxwells. And the mic is a downgrade, everyone on Discord is telling me I sound stuffy and muffled. I really wanted to love the Maxwells, I'm sick to death of cords, and my issue with wireless gaming headsets is the downgraded sound quality and background hiss due to amplification, however I can say there's no background hiss on the Maxwells. But that's pretty much their only plus. They're heavy, there's only 3 adjustments (really only two unless you have a head the size of a toddler for the smallest adjustment), sound and mic quality are somehow worse than an 8 year old $100 headset. I'm returning them but I don't know what to replace them with. I've tried pretty much everything at this point and I was hoping the Maxwells would be my holy grail.
@Silver Fox don't get me wrong, I'm not doubting you, and if I didn't have use for numerous features I probably would've went with the maxwell..... there's no question audeze has their shit together even it comes to studio. I'm not too worried though..... steelseries properly eqed may not quite be at that level, but still sound great for a gaming headset, and the spatial has been top notch. I was a little disappointed to see audeze ditch basic features, because they were my first choice, and I may have looked forward to it, but due to using phone discord, because I work on the road, and my setup has issues when upnp is in use, so that was the final nail in the coffin there. I'm happy with what I got, and glad to hear you're enjoying
I love the steelseries but them not supporting sonar on mac is a major downfall cuz thats literally the only reason I bought the headphones for the spacial audio. I just ordered the Audeze Maxwell and returning the steelseries I think I will like it. But we will see on Tuesday.
I know these are gaming headsets but from what I heard so far in pretty much any review is the mic on the Audeze Maxwell is just crazy good. Might even be a good choice for working from home. Plus I think they could also Excell as a regular pair of headphones for music listening with some degree of ANC. Any comparison on how loud the Audeze get? I had on my PS5 the Razer Kaira Pro and I could never put them to max volume while gaming. More like 70 %. They were just really loud. For music I could put them to like 80%. Are the Audeze as loud?
They get loud enough where max volume isn't comfortable for any prolonged listening. The Penrose gets louder via wireless right now, but I'm guess a firmware update will make the Maxwell louder down the road. Still plenty loud in the meantime
31:22 As much as I like mine, the disconnects and clipping I've been getting through the dongle with mine have ruined enough experiences that I'm really hoping the Maxwell is as solid a connection as you say. I just don't want to have to think about it anymore, especially if the Xbox version works as seamlessly with everything as we hope and I can just quickly plug and play the dongle on any device. Shame about no simultaneous Bluetooth, but least my Portals have a reason to stick around.
I had that issue with my Penrose too. It's a shame a $300 headset can't even keep a steady connection. I won't be buying Audeze products ever again because of how bad their quality control and customer service are though. Months later I still haven't got my Penrose back and customer service doesn't respond.
This problem has been solved on Maxwell And I believe that now is the real end game gear I have seen many reviews and I believe you had a very bad experience But these do not exist at all on maxwell It is quite good.
Come say hi in the growing GadgetryTech Discord server! We talk audio, games, hardware and more. discord.gg/pKH6pFxkBB
I had a question I need a wireless headset for my series x and I Only have 200$ I was thinking between the Beoplay portal (200 on Amazon) and the Nova 7x. I previously had the Steelseries 9x and that was a mess , so I want something something with a better connection. Thanks ( I am open to any headset )
Hi man excellent work. Would you recommend the maxwell over the pro wireless dac or nova pro for driving simulation like iracing or asseto corsa . Do you make presets for these titles ? I own the pro wireless dac and using the forza preset . Thanks in advance
Why does this guy not have more traffic. Best reviewer by far.
By far the best. Probably the pinnacle of explaining and passion on youtube. Very smart man
Thought the same thing. Since now there is no better review. This guy is really making a great job here.
Hot tip don't pry the SteelSeries battery cover. Twist it and it'll essentially disengage the magnets off each other and it'll fall off when you give it a tilt. Likewise when reattaching just put it on and spin it until it finds the magnet with the opposite polarity
This is how I do it too
Have to , I’ve filed my nails and skin particles so many times 😫 I just got mine last week any suggestions ? I wanna work on the EQ but some PSN players say my mic is too low
Glad to see you haven't forgotten about the VZR Model One, still waiting for an EU release but the competition is indeed ramping up!
they've been out of stock for seemingly forever in the states.
@@mickael486 It is rather odd that they are out of stock, but Joe did hint at something special coming down the pipe, when we was at a recent Can Jam.
@@gigolocalypsetv5520 This dude has been busy.
I'll watch his vidoes just for the education even if I'm not currently in the market for what he's reviewing.
for example, that Projector video yesterday was really informative.
@@mickael486 Yeah, he does so great work and covers a wide range of tech, from a place of knowledge. I appreciate he is that happy middle ground of consumer friendly/deep dive analysis reviews. I do sometimes dabble in Crinacle but that's for the more hardcore, so Joe is the more relaxed, but just as informative option.
Yeah, if they had a Wireless version, I'd 100% them.
But just being able to walk away and do other things, as God-Awful and shitty the Nova Pro Wireless are, their wireless range/efficiency, and battery swap keep me from consistently using the VZR, even though they're incredible.
Congrat on the channel growth! Would be good to see non gaming headset headphones around this price range added in to the discussion for a more complete comparison for those who are willing to buy their mic separately. As a separate video if you want would be fine, say a price tier oriented video.
this
Thanks! I have a lot of big stuff planned over the coming months. I feel like I always say that, but some big things have come out and the channel keeps getting bigger, so I appreciate the support! More to come :)
@@GadgetryTech your reviews are really thorough. Would love to see some wired non mic headphone reviews
Amazing reviews, extremely comprehensive. After watching a bunch of your videos I pulled the trigger on the Maxwells and I am very happy with my purchase, I’ve never had an “audiophile” headphone before and honestly didn’t know what I was missing out on. I can honestly say that my other sources of enjoying music have been ruined by the quality of the Maxwell. My AirPods sound like I’m listening to music through a cardboard box compared to these, I thought my car sounded good (it’s not bad by any means) but wow… superb sound quality from these cans. Keep up the awesome reviews. Liked and subscribed!
I bought a Sonos Era 300 and connected it to my MacBook Pro which a high frequency cable and I think I was reborn. Listening through earbuds of any kind now makes me want to gag
I almost gave up on the nova pros but stumbled across your foundation eq setting recommendations and decided to keep em. Thank you.
These are the real competitors, thank you for the in-depth comparison!
I bought the VZR headphones due to your review and haven't looked back. They replaced my Sennheiser mmx300, Astro A40 TR. They are the best, Period. The Advantages they give you has brought my KD up 27 points and Climbing. Sound is getting in positional situation to eliminate the Threat. No more hearing sound and looking around at where it's coming from. Thanks G.T.
What platform are you on?
Seriously. I thought mine was faulty until I changed my audio settings from home theatre to speakers. I use dts headphone x and Astro mixamp pro tr. the positional accuracy is perfect.
You mean Beyerdynamic MMX300 I assume?
Do they just plug into your controller? I'm new to these nicer headphones
Thanks man. I was leaning towards the Audeze Maxwell and you helped seal the deal.
Quality video! Glad you put the workhorses together, because these are the top marks I go against. My Model One smoked my Nova Pro Wireless, which is why I didn't mind being wired up. Coupled with the Schiit Hel 2, I can only believe VZR will be the ones to top their own headset. Now, the Maxwell is really pulling at my wallet. I honestly wouldn't say I need it but I know I can be a sound whore, so I chase that unicorn endlessly. It does seem like the Model One and the Maxwell sit at the end of the rainbow, so it's a matter of temptation, if I buy the Maxwell, because I feel I'm already at the gaming audio endgame until VZR tops themselves. I'm hoping they do!
They are basically representing the best of both designs, wired vs wireless. Glad to hear you're loving the Model One!
Well I just gave in and placed my order for the Maxwells lol. I hope these companies recognize the trust you’ve built with your community because I wouldn’t have grabbed these if not for your two videos on this headset.
Me too for Xbox but idk when they’re going to release 😂
love your videos dude! I do so much research whenever I want to buy anything and you condense all of the questions I have into amazingly edited and detailed videos. Amazing
Thanks so much! Glad you found it helpful!
More convinced to get the Model One when it was available in Europe at every video you make 😅. Great job as usuall!! Take care and see you on your Discord.
Thanks for this review!
Just wanted to add that to open the magnetic covers on the arctis nova wireless - just turn the covers until the magnet gets misaligned and the covers fall off - don't need to pry.
Indeed. I've rotated them in the past. Sometimes they just fall off, sometimes I need to mess with them a little. Overall it's not a terrible process, and I'm not sure if they'd even have a better way to do it without making it unreliable. Magnet attachments with how they did it is incredibly reliable.
Dude it’s wildddddd what the model 1 manages to do with physical components alone.
Good to see an actual comprehensive comparison , much appreciated!
For reallllll❤️
and THIS is exactly the review and comparison i've been waiting for. Thanks.
Will be selling my epos h6pro closed along with my soundblaster gc7 to pick up the Maxwell, i really miss the freedom you get from wireless. Awesome comparison and your review of the maxwell was stellar. You have a new subscriber, keep up the good work.
How did you like the gc7? I'm actually thinking about sending my Maxwells back and getting the VZR Model One and GC7 lol.
Mainly looking at the sound blaster to EQ the Model One as well as try super XFI. Curious your thoughts though.
Great just-in-time review of all of these headsets. Thank you so much.
Bro just came across a channel of Many audio reviewers.... your reviews are so clean so precise very OnPoint and now I'm biased towards the products your reviews are very clear and very understandable towards each product... keep up the good work brother I look forward to watching your videos it's refreshing to watch someone good at what they do and is simplistic at the same time... you should definitely have more subscribers and traffic.... much love to you my brother and definitely keep up this good work
I've had my arctis pro wireless for 3 yrs and use them daily. Still on original batteries as well. Seriously impressed that they have lasted and held up this long. I ordered the nova pro wireless.i may switch to nova and keep the pros as a backup. Depends which I like better.
Same had mine since the ps5 came out, they’ve been great. Only issue is the connection around each earcup has become quite loose and move around a lot, feel like they could break if I drop it. Heard that it’s common for those to come loose, how are yours holding up?
@@noorsmith6186mine just broke now I’m looking for a replacement. They held up well but the right ear cuff detached from the band ripping the plastic housing. 😢 I’m thinking about the maxwell but don’t want to leave the sonar gg software.
@@Gcrow_well damn sorry to hear that! Gave mine away to a friend still working but fragile. I’ve actually recently just bought the maxwells, they’re built extremely solid and sound great can’t go wrong. Probably not amazing for footsteps audio but I haven’t tried to change eq settings yet.
You are really good at describing the technology, functions and sound to something understandable! I've so learned so much after following your channel. Thanks!
Do you know if the engineers of the factory sound are the same people that add equalizer options? Since you said Audeze know how they want it to sound. But so many companies make shitty options to the equalizer. They either sound too muddy or too tinny.
Thanks so much for the kind words! Audeze is directly involved with firmware development and EQ tuning.
Everyone who is considering the Nova Pro Wireless needs to pay close attention from 9:52. The ANC knobs Arctis put in there make this headset incredibly uncomfortable after a very short time. The 3rd party cushions ruin the audio, even with the recommended equalizer settings. They are not worth the $350 in my opinion.
Can you just like dismantle the knob or break it or something??
Wondering how the JBL Quantium 910 compareds. Super excited about the Maxwell. Great review as always. Thank You!
Would be great if you can do a video to show how to equalize the maxwell to increase footsteps imaging
I got my fiancée the Nova Pro, and it's definitely the best in my opinion for someone who just wants to play and doesn't want to tinker. The retractable boom mic, the physical "dock" thingy with the knob, the hot-swap batteries, no wires to deal with, the automatic fallback to Bluetooth if you leave the "dock" at home--it's a dream for anyone who "just wants to play."
It's also probably the highest-end gaming headset you could get for someone who isn't tech savvy. I got her an ASUS Flow Z13 with the RTX 3080 dock, and she just straight up doesn't ever use the 3080, because docking/undocking is "annoying." But ever since I got them a year ago, she has always had her Nova Pros on for date night, so I can hear her beautiful voice. :]
For myself, I'm getting the Maxwell after watching these reviews, and it comes in this week. I'm excited to try it out, as I already have some modded planar headphones that I really like (but they're wired with no mic). I'll let everyone know what I think when I get them! :]
EDIT: My short, very personal, review of the Maxwell, as compared to my modded Fostex T50RPs (also planar):
Pros:
* I love having the boom mic and Filter. It sounds much better than my laptop's mic for meetings, especially in my noisy work environment.
* I like not having a wire running down my torso.
* They sound great! I noticed something new in a song I like that I hadn't noticed before. I went back to see if I can hear it on my Fostex, and I can, but I hadn't *noticed* it before, if that makes sense.
Cons:
* They're a bit too big for my head--and the lack of sliders for adjustment means that even trying multiple combinations of "settings" for the headstrap, they still feel ever so slightly off. I could mod this to make them fit better, but the lack of sliders means that as I move my head based on the work I'm doing, I can't adjust them, and that's kinda annoying.
* They're more heavy than I'd like. I thought I'd get used to them, but I didn't realize how much I move my head while I work, looking at multiple screens and such. They have so much inertia that I was constantly trying to keep them from falling off when looking around.
* They just don't have enough bass for me. I modded my Fostex to enhance bass, and I love them. The Maxwell can be adjusted with onboard DSP, but it's just not the same as having something that physically/naturally produces bass on its own. The software-added bass sounds artificial, if that makes sense.
Another thing that isn't really a con, but worth mentioning, is that you can easily mod the Fostex to be semi-open or closed, and you can change that at will. I doubt I could do this to the Maxwell without ruining it. You might say "Clarke! What the hek! You can't just make headphones open or closed at will, they're engineered specifically for the configuration they're in!" But the truth is, while you will definitely hear a difference, I think you'd be lying to yourself if you said you could detect any actual distortion with the naked ear. Not with headphones at this price point with the kind of equipment you'll use them with. It's super nice to close them or open them depending on how it suits the music I'm listening to, but I'm afraid to even attempt dissecting the Maxwell. I just didn't realize how much I liked doing this until I couldn't do it with the Maxwell.
Due to the "cons" above, I decided to return the Maxwell. It's possible I could mod the Maxwell to achieve the same results as my Fostex, although I'm not sure--but no matter what, they're heavy, and I don't see that changing. I knew that going in, but failed to take head movement into account. If you won't move your head every 437 milliseconds like I do, then I bet you'll love them. When you take into account the price of the Maxwell and its features, it's seriously amazing--I get the hype! So the reason I'm returning it isn't because it's a bad headset. It's just because I really like how light my Fostex headphones are, and my "open/closed" configuration, and I'm totally willing to lose the good things I had with the Maxwell in return for keeping the good things I have with my Fostex.
Wow, that was quite the writeup! Yeah, unfortunately you cannot make them lighter. Planar headphones are usually heavier because of the magnet structure. The drivers themselves weigh much more than a traditional dynamic driver.
@@GadgetryTech I'm so glad you read my comment, haha, I didn't think anyone would see it. xD Your review was fantastic, by the way; everything you said was very effective at describing the Maxwell, and I can understand the hype! :D
@@clarkeeeee I try to catch comments as much as I can but it’s been a challenge! I’m glad to have helped.
Hey I used your footsteps settings and they were absolutely amazing on the Maxwells. Thank you.
Can you please send me the presets
Just got my Maxwell today. I love how much better built they are than the mobius. The Maxwell is built like a tank
How are they holding up now?
@@isaiahcowan6250 they are great. They are so much better built than the mobius. Mostly metal
Really would like the Maxwells.
Almost bought the Penrose but then issues started being mentioned.
Maxwell's aren't available here in Japan, at least I couldn't see them here.
Cash is tight atm after the move here, so I guess I'll have time to save while I wait for them to come here. lol
Thanks for these reviews.
Thank you for the perfect in depth review, I enjoyed every aspect of the review.
Incredible review, thank you, I appreciate your relaxed approach
Buy Audeze! I owned steelseries a screw came out that was physically impossible to be put back in causing it to fall apart completely, they refused to help me. Iv had a PenRose x for 2 years they’re shipping me a brand new one because mine snapped over time from its flexibility. Good company
First! Thanks for this! I am currently using the nova pro wireless. From Singapore here...still waiting for the distributors here to receive maxwell so that they can deliver to meeeee
LOVE these comparisons. Thank you! Quick question - for immersive action/adventure type games, would you go with the Maxwell or Model One. Truly don’t need a mix or any features and would prefer wireless, but not a deal-break if the sound is exponentially better…
i love your credibility and depth of your reviews, keep going 🔥🔥
Thanks so much! I try to keep it honest in everything I do!
New fan here! Great review, thank you!
Sound quality wise, for casual portable listening, which is better - Maxwell or Model One?
Nice review bro . For immersion on the nova pro wireless . What are ur custom equipment settings? Thanks... brotha. Wanted to add as far as the Maxwells and nova pro wireless comparison. Which one has a noticeable wider sound stage on console? My nova pros to me everything is clear but it just sounds like al the sound is so close together . Was wondering if the Maxwell really just surpass the novas in this department for console gaming ? Thanks again
Great review man ❤❤ I’ll stick with my EPOS H3 hybrid PRO but If they release in Australia I’ll grab the Audeze maxwell !! Again thanks joe
Don't, Audeze doesn't support their products. To make a long story short, my Penrose had a crack in the headband when I got it (bad quality control) they were going to charge me to fix it, when it was brand new. So since everything worked, I just dealt with it. A year later, the ear cup completely falls off. I sent it in and had to pay $150 to get it fixed, and that was months ago. Customer service doesn't respond to emails, and there is no other way to get a hold of them. They have my money and my Penrose.
Got the nova pros for 250, are the maxwells worth the upgrade? I am attracted by the improved mic quality. I do like the light weight and features of the nova pros.
Love your in-depth reviews. Subbed!
Question: If you had to pick ONE wired headset (never been a fan of wireless), what headset would you pick? Just got the wired Nova Pro's, ditched the included DAC and paired it with my Sound Blaster AE-7 soundcard and though it sounds pretty good overall... I know there has to be something better... and for sure a better mic since I don't want to have anything extra on desktop.
If it's just for games and I wanted the best wired headset (FPS being strongly considered here), I would buy the VZR Model One. It's just too good for imaging and FPS. Second pick is the EPOS H6PRO if you need a mic.
a question for you - audiophiles always mention wired headsets will always sound better than wireless. do you think that's true with the audeze maxwell? thank you! new to your channel and I LOVE it
My guy with the facts here. Killer review once again.
Hey great review! By the way, can i ask you which one is better in comfort between audeze maxwell & razer barracuda pros? I am on a verge of getting one of them.
Love this! Thank you. Weird question: around 28:53, you're comparing the H3Pro Hybrid to these and said that while you liked the Penrose sound, you had a finicky connection. Did you mean to say "Epos," or do the Maxwell's have an issue with the connection? I just may have missed that in your Maxwell review.
My guess would be that it's the H3Pro. He said the Maxwell had really good connection in his review, and the H3Pro is known to have kinda meh wireless.
Bought the Max. Love your channel!
Wow this guy is good detail, knows what a gamer wants don't waste time going else where for reviews.
Great video as always. To be honest i was pretty unimpressed by the VZR Model One although i didnt get to use it through my audio interface. It just felt really rumbly like muddy bass and not very clean. I love bass but the mobius had way better sounding and punchier bass IMO
Thank you for the comparison! I think the video speaks for itself, but there's one thing I would like to add regarding the "Simultaneous 2.4GHz and Bluetooth" feature the Nova Pro Wireless supports. Which is that its BT seemingly only supports the SBC audio codec. It's not even mentioned on their specification page. It's the absolute bare minimum and in my humble opinion should never be seriously used for music, movies or games. Should be OK for phone calls. However, albeit anecdotally, codecs like aptX, LC3plus or LDAC will offer an undeniable boost in audio quality. I was interested in a headset that would offer two wireless inputs without sacrificing audio quality. Might take another year or two before we get those in the gaming scene. For now I'll be getting the Maxwell! Thanks again.
Nice callout. Yeah for how a lot of people use the Novas, it's good for things like Discord and watching RUclips/Twitch, but not so much a lossless audio file. It will only get better in time with future models I think, but we'll see what comes. At least the Maxwell is dropping with all but aptX for now.
Don't buy Audeze, they don't support their products and they treat their customers like crap. My Penrose and the money I sent them to fix the Penrose (for a problem it came with new) has been with them for months. The only way to get a hold of them is through emails, and they ignore people. This is actually apparently pretty common.
@@Damitsall Appreciate your reply! I have read similar comments elsewhere. The problem I have is that the only real alternative for my use case would be the SteelSeries Nova Pro Wireless. I've bought their most expensive wireless headset twice in the past. Had both break at the hinges with normal usage. Followed by terrible customer support experiences. So I suppose it's a little bit of a "pick your poison" situation. It will by my first Audeze product and I'm really hoping, and to be fair it does look promising, that the durability will make the Maxwell last for a good amount of years.
@Fluazinam Since it's been taking so long to get my Penrose back, I got the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen2 Max and when they came back in stock the Arctis Nova Pros. Let me tell you, one thing I love about the Nova Pros, is no drop outs. With the Penrose and the 700s, lots of drop outs and bad range. I actually like the comfort on the 700s better, but the Nova Pro is more comfortable than the Penrose. The Steel Series stuff is just built so much better.
@@Damitsall Supposedly they addressed the connectivity issues with the Maxwell! People that have received the headset seem to confirm that. Not to forget the gentleman in this video. It's unfortunate that the Penrose didn't only have durability issues. I'm not sure if I can agree with you on the SteelSeries headsets being built better considering two of mine broke during normal usage. One thing that SteelSeries does better than the competition in my opinion: the ability to swap batteries on the fly. Once you're used to that it's really difficult to go back to cable charging. I'm not sure if they patented it, but I'd love to see that in every headset. Not enough for me to choose it though. I hope you'll get to enjoy your Nova Pro for a long time! :)
Just placed my order for the Xbox version of the Maxwells. Currently using the VZR Model One which is almost perfect from a sound standpoint for me. I like warm sound and bass.
I’ve been using the VZRs since September and they are killer. I just want a wireless set that has elite sound. Hopefully the Maxwell delivers
Let us know what you think of them sound wise after you get the new pair and play with them.
@@joshchacko7729 will do! They are back ordered so I’m hoping to get them before May
@@FlashGladd Hey, whenever it's convenient for you. Appreciate it man!
So what ur thouths in regards of comparing VZR and Maxwells?
@@zeitneit2837 the Maxwells have the VZRs beat. The clarity at the mid and high range is superior and the Maxwells still maintain a great warmth to the base. This is my first planar headset and they don’t disappoint. The VZRs are still very comfortable and have great sound but not as clear. Also using the Maxwells wireless on PS5 and Xbox is a game changer. Ive had zero interruptions to the wireless connection
Very good and informative Comparison! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the comparison. Since you put me on to the Beoplay Portal PS5/PC it’s really been hard to let go of them. I still have the Novas which I use for PC mostly but the Portal comfort is just too amazing, and I’ve grown to love their sound signature. I use it on the PS5. Even with music over Bluetooth it’s a different flavor from my APM but I still really like how it’s so easy on the ears with terrific mids, and the companion app is the best I’ve ever used for a device. My only issue was the overall mic chat performance but I use the wireless mod-mic on the left cup and it’s flawless. The right earcup causes interference but the left works with no issues. Just too comfortable to move on from lol. I also should add I got them on sale so the price wasn’t that bad.
They sound crap, but nice you like it.
@@BumbleBeeBiH And this is why sound is subjective to the user lol. Plus other dynamics like comfort. I’ve owned and used all he has mentioned here plus some more of the high end models except the new Maxwell and the VZR. What do you personally use right now?
Just found your channel and love your videos. Quick question...when I use headphones it's for fps only. Currently using Philips SHP9500 plugged into controller on series x. Thinking about getting the VZR's. Would they be better than getting a mixamp or dac with the Philips? And if so would the VZR benefit a good amount from a mixamp. Appreciate any info
Yo Gadgetry Tech nice video!How does the Steelseries Arctics Nova Pro Wireless compared to Logitech G Pro X Wireless in terms of footstep and directional audio cue? I mainly play Valorant competitively. Thanks in advance! 😊
Video Idea: Rank all headsets you own or have used in the past per caterogry for example rank them for media, gaming etc as well as their mic.
Thank you for making such a great video, I recently encountered a problem I would like to ask, I have a h6pro open so I want to buy a gsx 1000 gen 2, but I heard that the sound quality of the adueze maxwell is also good, so I am thinking now should I Which one is better to buy? My first choice is the music sound quality, then the game pace, and then the wireless. Do you have any opinions?
Sorry for my typo, "game pace" is footsteps
sorry I missed this!!! Did you already switch? Both are excellent. If playing on PC, you can easily EQ the H6PRO to your liking. If you like the idea of wireless, the Maxwell is one of the best sounding headsets ever made. I don't think it's the absolute best in FPS games, but for music and immersion I love it. The H6PRO is one of the best bang for your buck headsets overall.
@@GadgetryTech Thank you bro, I have changed to maxwell, its sound quality is really great, and the wireless is also very convenient, the fps game performance is also good, thank you for the reply!! (Actually, I asked you on head fi XD)
Absolutely fantastic video. Now I just please need you to do a follow up after you have eq the audeze. To see if you find it better than the nova pro wireless. Specifically for gaming, imaging and footsteps. As I trust your opinion very highly. I just purchased the nova pro wireless. But I can take it back and swap it for the audeze. I'm a bit confused now. Please help 😂
Get the audeze maxwell its more immersive better sound at explosions, bass rumble, better at music due to its 90 mm driver compare to 40 mm on the nova pro, the reviewer mentioned it that the maxwell is more immersive on games, better at music and movies i myself will be gettin the maxwell its a no brainer
Right now I have an audeze penroze that is starting to get old. Mainly play shooters. Now looking for something new. Don't like audio settings, just plug and play. Which one would you recommend for xbox? Confused between the maxel and the steelseries. There is also a good offer here in the Netherlands for the Bang and Olfsen, which makes them the cheapest at the moment.
For just plugging and playing, Maxwell for me.
Did you get the xbox version? I'm wondering if you can play on all systems with that one? Also doesn't "xbox wireless" mean that it connects directly the console without a dongle?
I mostly play Valorant and been looking between the VZR and the Maxwell. Footsteps on that game i know are more focused on the highs. Was wondering if the VZR would still be good for Valorant over the others since its more base heavy? Or does it seperate sound well still?
I gotta ask, do I " NEED " a DAC/AMPif I get the VZR model ones? Like is the audio quality gonna sound bad if I don't use it with em or is it only gonna make it slightly better? I only play FPS games and while I do listen to music quite often, the absolute " perfect " sound quality isn't something I really need, as long as the ingame audio, footsteps etc is accurate and it still provides clear audio if I watch movies or listen to music etc. Let me know cause I really don't wanna spend 250-500 euros for that. Please let me know, thanks.
Also another thing I gotta ask, I live in Finland ( eu ), can I buy the VZR Model One from amazon? It shows that there's a few in stock for 350 euros and I gotta pay likr extra 100 euros to that for it to be delivered here where I live which is fine, but lmk.
Did you end up buying them
@@stevenprieto87 No. I am still thinking about getting either the audeze maxwell's or the vzr model ones. My current HP's are the steelseries arctis pro which are not " bad " they also cost 200€ but I would definitely wanna upgrade at one point.
@PahEz if you have the nova pros it's not worth it. Keep using it into they break. The difference is minimal and in a year or 2 they'll be something better than both vzr and maxwell.
@PahEz it sucks because I want something like the vzr but also as good sound quality as the maxwells. While being Bluetooth that would last year's. I ordered the maxwell, but I'm pretty sure they aren't lasting over 2 years without breaking.
@@stevenprieto87 Yeah, it indeed sucks
I have the model one and I am waiting on the maxwell. Fairly new to eq. Could you do an amp/eq setting for fps video? Do you have anything you recommend? I play on ps and Xbox
How would you compare the Maxwell to the Penrose in terms of sound? Is it worth the upgrade? I know the Maxwell somewhat fixed all the build and conection issues of the former product, but maybe the price cut makes it worth it now.
Penrose still sounds great. I think the Maxwell has a better tuned treble out of the box so it's more versatile for me without needing any EQ. I would upgrade from Penrose to Maxwell more for the comfort and wireless performance, and not purely for sound. At a critical level, I still think the Maxwell has the edge.
@@GadgetryTech I see. Thanks.
how about the Focal Bathys, if you had a chance with that comparing to Maxwell (I am aware the price is wayyy higher), just wondering if the Maxwell can beat Bathys with the price advantage when it comes to music/movies beside just gaming, thx bro
I dont know how i end up on your videos always lol
Hi! How much better the arctis nova pro sounds compared to the blackshark v2 pro? Would you say it's much better? Is it compatible with devices such as apple TV through bluetooth ?
Great video, indeed.
Assuming I don't care that much about the wireless talk, between the epos h6 pro and these maxwells which one would be better considering that I would have to wear them for a long time, and I would have to do a little bit of everything with them from listening to music, to watching videos (and yes even playing games with them, but mostly the other areas)?
These maxwells seem great except for the weight issue, because yes as balanced as it can be in my opinion the fact that they weigh twice as much as the epos might be a drawback for several hours of use in a row.
Ps. i'm really really really really looking forward to your video on the mmx 300 hoping they will send them to you sooner or later ahah :D, those also attract me very much but it's impossible to find a decent review :(
Go with the Maxwell, better in every ways than the Epos, and the weight isn't a problem because of the headband, trust me
This comment will probably get swept under the rug but I just wanted to ask, is the arctis nova pro wireless actually good for gaming? I've had mine for a good while now and the base headset out of the box just sounds terrible, like I'm listening to my game through a tin can phone. I've tried adjusting all the eq and everything but no luck. Is it a me problem? all the "preset" eq's for games just don't do anything for it, and it makes games just unplayable bad because my gunshots and sfx are deafening while enemy footsteps and gunshots are super quiet and impossible to tell how far they are or in which exact direction. I got them at an acceptable sounding quality but recently the app deleted and got rid of my custom settings making me realize just how bad the base headset is, which I feel shouldn't be a problem. Is my headset broken or is there something I'm doing wrong? should I just return mine and get the Model one instead?
Did you ever custom EQ the maxwell for footsteps/fps? If so, what settings did you use? How is it comparatively now?
He did make custom eq in fact he made an official partnership with audeze for many different games. The custom eqs are good in my opinion expect for the pubg one which is quiter for some reason. From my experience the eq do help but by small margin like 3-5%, It’s free performance bump. I’ve been using these headphones since last February and they held up really good. Have you tried the wicked cushions? I’ll swap to those when the originals wear out.
11:34 I could wear a tire on my head if it produced good enough audio. To hell with comfort lol.😂 my least concern personally. So far awesome video can’t wait to hear the rest
what do you think about astro a 50? for me who i like playing game like resident evil,.. the last of us and watching movie...maxwell it's a good choice?
Well done sir!!
Im really torn between these 3. Imaging is important to me but not from a competitive perspective. I play alot of open world survival games so audio ques could mean life or death. So many mix reviews on all 3 its hard to determine which one to get. VZR the biggest complaint seems to be the Mic. Maxwell is poor imaging. Nova is comfort & sound dynamics.
whatd u end up going with? I’m deciding between the same and how’s the imaging
Great comparison!
Between Maxwell and Nova Pro Wireless, which one has more volume power on ps5?
Thanks Joe.
Don't risk the Nova Pro Wireless in my opinion. Significant risks with all of the problems. None of these "reviewers" actively wear them to the extent that they even have the most basic functions start to have issues. The headband stretches to the point that I literally cut it in half, and overlapped, and sewed it back up. The nub is an issue with a good amount of people's ears (SIGNIFICANT ISSUES with mine), issues with ANC static/hissing that I have at a lower level than others, disconnecting issues. Using $35 WickedCushions to stop the seering ear pain, which only cause alternate issues to occur such as decreasing grip, which already started on the base set itself. The App caused enough issues and spam bugged updates quite literally every other day for weeks, so I just stopped using it at a detriment of the sound. I'd just say try going for the Maxwell. The hot-swap Battery, and Range on the Steelseries is awesome, and the only reason I'm not willing to blow $300+ to test something else, but I'd definitely try something else if I had the opportunity to have never bought these. And most reviews are saying Maxwell fixed the issues the Penrose had anyways, which was what I was going to get, but stopped because of, originally...
Thanks! My (Nova Pro Wireless) NPW has been my most used wireless headset since it launched and it's been holding up well. However, my Maxwell experience has been so great out of the box, I will likely be using those more. I think they are comparably loud on PS5. Right now, the NPW get's louder than the Maxwell does when using it on PC. I think a firmware update may make the Maxwell louder down the road but it's just a speculation at the moment.
@@GadgetryTech Thanks Joe!!
@@radicalindividual7774 Thanks!
@@radicalindividual7774 i have 0 issues
While I think the "I can't believe I can't hear that vacuum" is neat, it has little impact on why I would want to buy a gaming headset or any headset, headphones or iem. I'm also surprised how many people care about the ability to do 3 different things at the same time they are playing a game.
I think most people are playing in relatively controlled environments and focused on gaming and not all the extras. And that unfortunately, is what you're paying for with the more premium models.
Great video!
Apparently the metal in the headband for Maxwell breaks easily. "it looks glued" as many people who had it break on them said. Audeze claims they are welded, that must be the weakest weld in the world the amount of it happening.
Like no excuse for metal.
The old Arctis Pro, the hinge plastic thingy is easily seen cracking because.. plastic but you'd expect better from metal.
Hey how would you compare the sound quality on the Maxwell to the HyperX Cloud Orbit S/Audeze Mobius?
I had the penrose and had to return them because of horrible wireless connection. Literally had to be 3-4ft away from PS5 or I would get pops and clicks every few minutes. My other gripe was the highs. They were painful to my ears very simbilant to my ears. I'm not a huge fan of neutral headphones because of this. Do the Maxwell's have ear piercing highs like the penrose?
Thanks , so if immersion is the top priority for single player , why is better model one or maxwell ?
Oh boy, can't wait for this one. I'll go into this one now, but one question, when you max out the size for the turtle beach stealth 700 gen 2, is it bigger, or smaller than the maxwell? Otherwise the 700G2 won't fit my head other wise, wanna make sure the maxwell fits my big potato 😂🥔
Okay, I've finished the video, amazing comparison, being honest, being neutral and saying what's good and bad, lovely as always Joe, man I hope they sort the xbox Maxwell.. And get it to Europe, and also, I hope it fits my head LOL.
I have bent the metal part of TB Stealth 700 Gen 2s on both sides to fit my massive head. Makes it second most comfortable headset I have ever worn after Razer blackshark V2 pro.
Thanks! The Maxwell on the largest headband setting is within 2mm of the 700 G2 Max at the largest setting. With the Maxwell having larger cup openings, it's likely going to fit your noggin just fun haha. If anything, it has a lighter clamp, so you may even like it more.
@@myytti16 I swear, once my stealth 700 gen 2 'broke in' i said the same, most comfortable headset I've worn so far!
@@GadgetryTech haha thanks for checking it out for me =) Much appreciated!!💙☺️I'll definitely give the Maxwell a try, once they sort out the xbox version, and maybe even bring it sooner or later to Europe😊😊. I can't wait tbh haha.
I know this video is old now, but with the Steelseries magentic sides, just spin it, and it breaks the magnet away and makes it 10x easier to get off the earcup.
Just got my model one on 2/27. What would be good to use for custom eq? Any advice on an eq? FPS heavy gamer. Thanks in advance
How do you like them so far
Looking forward to your future video on the Maxell Wicked cushions and EQ.
Thank you, maxwell for sure
Hey man. Not including the mic test/comparison is a bit of a miss imo. Could have just worn the headset and used each mic you were talking about the differences. Then again I’ve never really edited video audio. So may not just be that easy.
Great vid otherwise dude 👌
It's actually quite easy but I was essentially making this video too long as it was. In my dedicated reviews for each headset, I did mic tests. Going forward I will likely plan on including mic tests regardless, even if it's just 10 seconds each to help make it easier. Thanks for calling it out!
I used to play the Astro a40s before i switched to pc and then when i switched i bought a pc with a soundcard that apparently did not have an optical. The A40s do not perform nearly as well without optical imo. So my next audio upgrade was the orchestra lite IEM's. I have loved them but as time has went by i thought i was missing out on some directional audio cues so i just bought the VZR's based on your reviews. Imo it has not been a pleasant experience. The bass is way too heavy and outside of footsteps being very clear and the imaging of where they are coming, when i play Apex, and things start to ramp up with fighting, everything gets muddied. It feels like the headphones cant handle all the noises at once so everything kind of becomes the same if that makes sense. I have to also turn my dac up twice as loud compared ro my IEM's in order to get it on the same volume level as the IEM's so they just aren't as powerful. Maybe its a just sound I'm not used to or its a tune not meant for me. I really wanted to like these. I wish i understood how to eq things but in my little experience of using sonar i havent been able to make the VZR's sound any better to me. I'm thinking of returning them and getting the audeze maxwells for neutral sounding experience. I believe the iems i own are a more neutrally tuned so maybe id enjoy them more?
I eq’d the shit out of my Penrose to finally give me pretty good imagery specially compared to the stock tune. I have stock on the first setting and then the eq’d one on setting Two and Jesus it’s a huge difference in apex legends. The stock eq on the penrose is not for fps either at all lol.
What equalization did you use to listen to music and watch movies?
I just ordered a Vzr model one, it’s supposed to be here Monday. I currently have the Nova Pro Wired, I also have a Mayflower arc mk2. I mainly play fps, so I am looking for directional awareness and foot step audio. Any suggestions for a dac/amp? I am on Ps5 and also have a audio extractor connected so I have the ability of optical. Is the Mayflower probably the best I can do on console? Or is there something better I would look at?
Schitt Hel 2e
I run the same setup and the DAC works with every platform with a USB connection
Yeah Schiit HEL2 has been the best gaming DAC for PS5 for me, but I'm working on reviewing the new Creative X5 right now as well.
I don't think you can go wrong with any choice.
I came came down to nova pro and maxwell for xbox, as my ls50x, which was great for the price I paid.
Obviously, I would expect the maxwell to sound a bit better.... I'm seeing mixed reactions from buyers, but I'm guessing properly eqed, it does. Sadly, it's amazing how many people get headsets that have full eq and don't have a clue or don't at least Google good eq settings. Sadly, in favor of fancy features, audeze ditched a bunch of basic features, the biggest for me being simultaneous Bluetooth, and transparency, for when I need to hear around me. I'm not disappointed though. Thanks, likely to Xbox noise suppressionin chat, according to friends, the mic sounds great, and eqedv properly it has easily the best audio of any steelseries I've used, and having kids, the transparency mode has been great. I don't think you can go wrong pending on needs, but at least on Xbox, I can say the novas do great and are priced pretty good for the well balanced experience.
I just bought the Maxwells, coming from a wired HyperX Cloud II and I'm so insanely disappointed in the sound quality and mic quality for a $300 headset. It sounds so flat with no depth, virtually zero bass. I'm not a thumping basshead either. I tweaked the bass and treble up a little bit on the HyperX with EQ software but out of the box they still sounded decent. I played a few games with the Maxwells straight out of the box and hated it. My favorite songs sounded so dull. I even looked up a bass boosted song on youtube and had no idea when the bass was supposed to start, so I switched back to my HyperX and realized it was boosted from the start, I just couldn't hear it on the Maxwells. And the mic is a downgrade, everyone on Discord is telling me I sound stuffy and muffled. I really wanted to love the Maxwells, I'm sick to death of cords, and my issue with wireless gaming headsets is the downgraded sound quality and background hiss due to amplification, however I can say there's no background hiss on the Maxwells. But that's pretty much their only plus. They're heavy, there's only 3 adjustments (really only two unless you have a head the size of a toddler for the smallest adjustment), sound and mic quality are somehow worse than an 8 year old $100 headset. I'm returning them but I don't know what to replace them with. I've tried pretty much everything at this point and I was hoping the Maxwells would be my holy grail.
@Silver Fox don't get me wrong, I'm not doubting you, and if I didn't have use for numerous features I probably would've went with the maxwell..... there's no question audeze has their shit together even it comes to studio.
I'm not too worried though..... steelseries properly eqed may not quite be at that level, but still sound great for a gaming headset, and the spatial has been top notch. I was a little disappointed to see audeze ditch basic features, because they were my first choice, and I may have looked forward to it, but due to using phone discord, because I work on the road, and my setup has issues when upnp is in use, so that was the final nail in the coffin there. I'm happy with what I got, and glad to hear you're enjoying
how does maxwell compares to wired Arctis Nova Pros? Does wired nova pro has punchier, fuller sound than wireless maxwell?
I love the steelseries but them not supporting sonar on mac is a major downfall cuz thats literally the only reason I bought the headphones for the spacial audio. I just ordered the Audeze Maxwell and returning the steelseries I think I will like it. But we will see on Tuesday.
Where is a good place to buy the Maxwell with it being out of stock on Amazon?
When you said adjust your setup accordingly with the model one because its analogue what did you mean by that?
I know these are gaming headsets but from what I heard so far in pretty much any review is the mic on the Audeze Maxwell is just crazy good. Might even be a good choice for working from home. Plus I think they could also Excell as a regular pair of headphones for music listening with some degree of ANC. Any comparison on how loud the Audeze get? I had on my PS5 the Razer Kaira Pro and I could never put them to max volume while gaming. More like 70 %. They were just really loud. For music I could put them to like 80%. Are the Audeze as loud?
They get loud enough where max volume isn't comfortable for any prolonged listening. The Penrose gets louder via wireless right now, but I'm guess a firmware update will make the Maxwell louder down the road. Still plenty loud in the meantime
31:22 As much as I like mine, the disconnects and clipping I've been getting through the dongle with mine have ruined enough experiences that I'm really hoping the Maxwell is as solid a connection as you say. I just don't want to have to think about it anymore, especially if the Xbox version works as seamlessly with everything as we hope and I can just quickly plug and play the dongle on any device. Shame about no simultaneous Bluetooth, but least my Portals have a reason to stick around.
I had that issue with my Penrose too. It's a shame a $300 headset can't even keep a steady connection. I won't be buying Audeze products ever again because of how bad their quality control and customer service are though. Months later I still haven't got my Penrose back and customer service doesn't respond.
This problem has been solved on Maxwell
And I believe that now is the real end game gear
I have seen many reviews and I believe you had a very bad experience
But these do not exist at all on maxwell
It is quite good.
i am buying Destiny Lightfall headset, i wish i can get a answer should i jump to $300 something of the nova pro wireless or just lightfall is ok.
man...once the auduze xbox version comes out, and we find out if it works on xbox, ps5 and PC like the nova pro, instant buy.
Any update on this?
