Can you clarify the setup you were using for evaluation? I’ve found that running these off Bluetooth vs. the provided dongle limited these. I’ve consistently felt like over Bluetooth, these do sound kind of congested, but open up not over Bluetooth.
Great review, I have many headphones. I picked up some Sony H7 as they were on a massive discount. I wasn't expecting much as I haven't heard a decent gaming headset but damn....these Sony's are still on my desk! The imaging is actually really good, I mainly play Apex Legends and this headset in 7.1 actually enhanced the god-awful sound I was receiving. Even my other "audiophile" headphones couldn't do what the H7 was doing in this game. It was even better in CS2 where the audio is so much better than Apex. For a cheap headset I'm keeping and using the H7's for sure.
@@MrAyrit When I'm not using my main headphones and external mic and just want that flexibility to just get up and grab and drink or walk around between matches, the wireless aspect and excellent design of the H7 has been rather practical for me. I'm just using them more on a daily basis than my desktop headphones. You should find them for really cheap your parts!
here in AUS the maxwell and the nova pro wireless are the same price, which would you pick up if you are trying to get the best headphones for FPS shooters and footsteps? I play on PC and dont plan to use for anything else
@@IAMIAM777I own the steel series there overated af and very disappointing in them plus it kills your ears aswell from the noise canceling if you can call it that .. they can be great yes but the maxwell is better in audio amd superior to it aswell. Plus, the mic is alot better then the steel series. Not hating on it but it's definitely not worth it maxwell is way more comfy
Great review finally some one say true about this headphones.Every other RUclipsrs prise them,but I have dt700 and Dt 900 pro x and when I listen to music or game they just sound way better.Yes bass is good but still like dt900 more.I really want to keep Maxwell cuz I like design but bayerdynamic are just better overall.Yes they wired but again Maxwell being portable is not really true,clamp force is low what is good but they will fall from your head if you try make some fast move or run Dow by stairs 😂
I researched for over 2 months for the BEST high end gaming headset. I was looking for the best on PS5 and for my brother who plays on Xbox Series X. Everything pointed to the Maxwell as the best for both brands. I was very lucky to find PS version for myself and the Xbox version for my brother. The only difference is the PS version utilizes Sony's Tempest 3D and the Microsoft has a deal with Dolby for Dolby Atmos support. If these headsets cost $500 each I still would feel I've received incredible value. Maxwell is incredible. The hard part is trying to grab one from their selected authorized dealer. Sony is leaving Audeze independent in which this is great for both PS and Xbox gamers. The new Pulse Elite coming out is a stripped down version of the PS Maxwell. This is a must buy

@@Cyb3rRust It comes with a dongle for each version. Audeze's firmware updates in the future won't work on the Xbox version for PS5. One was designed for the PS5's Tempest Audio and the other for Xbox. You don't want the Xbox version for the PS5. Xbox version comes w/ a Dolby Atmos license. Dolby Atmos doesn't work on PS5 since Sony went with propietary tech.
@@MrAyrit I’d bet this is due to you recording it over Bluetooth to your phone. Most of the time people are using the boom mic it’ll be going through the far superior usb dongle.
bluetooth uses a very old codec for microphone/input. Where as output/sound is much better low latency hifi quality etc. Using the USB dongle is the best approach for signal, microphone quality (441khz instead of lower 8-16khz bluetooth mic quality) etc.
I have a Cloud Orbit S and a Maxwell, the latter is not better in sound, and more comfortable with the embouchure, but it is much heavier, which reduces comfort, and can get tiring after hours. It has better metal hinges, which was a common problem with hinge breakage in previous models. And much more functionality, such as connecting two devices at the same time. I listen to music on my PC with the usb dongle and then watch RUclips videos on my laptop, it switches the source.
@@bobwood4304 you can't listen to two streams at the same time, only one stream. But you switch between them instantly since both are connected, literally play-pause on different devices switches the sound instantly
He said if you want a gaming headset that sounds pretty good lol bro these are some of the best sounding headphones that you can buy, probably the best wireless close, the back headset that you can buy, you obviously know nothing about detail and clarity and imaging
Thanks bro
Haha, I swapped out to the Brainwavs xl pads too. The wicked cushion gel pads are also pretty dope, especially if you want some extra clamp force

I’ve been disappointed with Sonys in the past, but maybe I’ll look at those.

Thanks Much !.......
Do you use Dolby atmos for headphones on Xbox? Or just straight stereo uncompressed?

I have both. The maxwells shit on the nova pros. Its not even a competition
@@trollmustard in what way
Steelseries
@@IAMIAM777no

How are they compared to JM Audio XTC?
For overall experience, they don’t touch the XTC, IMO.
Not a fair comparison at the price point is it?

You just dont know how to tune them. Maxwells shit on every headphone you named

The xbox version supports all platforms including ps5 so you made a whoops purchase

@@tedunseth3966 people thought the same about the xbox version of steel series
@@tedunseth3966 the steel series for xbox works for ps5 still
The mic sounds worse here than many other reviews I've seen, so it's probably something on your end.
Yeah, oddly bad I thought.

but you can't do both at the same time, like, say if I wanted to receive music via bluetooth from my phone and game via the dongle on my PC?

The maxwells have alot of features. Learn how to eq and get different presets for different games and they will blow you away.
