Audeze Maxwell Late 2024 Review

[@alias5152]

We are so used to crappy budget headsets that when we jump in higher tier headphones/headsets in same time we are blown away and also we criticize how that one has no bass.. no this or that.. yeah but we forgot we are used to non natural sounds.. super boosted and weird.. It's all in our heads.. if you stick with one pair of headphones.. you get used to it and they become normal to you.. it's normal guys, just don't panic if something is not how you expected right away... 2-3 weeks of usage you will get into it. Btw i ordered my AUdeze Maxwell ( PS version ) 1 month ago... i waiting to arrive. idk why it takes so long.. at some point i though they didn't process my order but yea.. it will arrive next week i hope.

Did it arrive? :)

@@kaskalo2 Yes today ( 28 November ), Take this with grain of salt but store employer explained to me that Audeze ship their items i quote her "on tip of the spoon" .. so idk if they just trying to sell me a cheap excuse for huge delay or if is true. So my impression with a headphone is amazing, connected with usb, updated firmware of headphone and dongle through Audeze App for Windows ( you must have it to update firmware ), dongle works out of the box, no need to setup anything.. Default volume on pc through dongle is 50% .. that's "normal" how you used to have 100% with cheap ones.. so 60% is super loud, be aware of this, don't mistake and move slider to 100% on your pc before you play song or something.. you will be deaf.. i am serious .. I know this is maybe stupid things but there is people who never think of small things like this

Audeze is a audiophile company. As an audiophile I will go with these. Just don't treat them like crap!

[@consumertechwarehouse]

Same. I have lots of audiophile products which is why I hate thee artificial processing in most headsets.

[@VonDutchNL]

I have mine for about a year now, still going strong.

[@VonDutchNL]

Best headset I've owned BY FAR

[@cstep100]

The usbc port on the headset does support audio..nice review btw

[@consumertechwarehouse]

Thanks. I tested it and it didn't work. It didn't show up as an option on windows.

[@consumertechwarehouse]

It works for you?

[@cstep100]

[@WeeGeeX]

@ getting mine tomorrow so will update but alot of the reviews mention using it as you charge and not having problems with that ? Edit: yeah i use it plugged in and charging, ive only had to charge it once or twice (not left it charging tbh)

[@kaskalo2]

04:20 - what you did there is exactly the good way to break those planar drivers :( Anyway, you mentioned guitar... do you actually play your guitar using the MAxwell? This would be my use case. Gaming and guitar playing (in living room). If you do, what's your setup?

[@xAlbo94]

I really like the Maxwell. The only thing keeping me from loving it is how fatiguing it is on my head. I'm not sure if it's the weight or the clamping force on my head. Most likely a combination of both.

[@classiccj2569]

You don't unscrew the headband parts, you just pull it off and stick it back on where you want it. I don't even think you can unscrew it. Edit: Nevermind, you can unscrew it. But you definitely don't need to for changing the strap.

[@consumertechwarehouse]

Good to know. I never once tried to remove it. The default position worked for me

[@lightningevo5429]

also. as long as you dont throw it on the ground. it shouldn't be breaking.

[@buzzingsniper38]

I personally ordered the wasabi version of these headphones but they haven't shipped at all due to "Microsoft" according to Audeze, I'm starting to get impatient as my current gaming headset has broken due to cheap plastic and its been nearly 2 weeks since I ordered the wasabi edition, consider cancelling the order and getting the original as theres nothing different besides the color scheme

[@lima4923]

How much did you pay, and did they ship? I saw a pair of the wasabi version on ebay for $399 USD

[@buzzingsniper38]

@lima4923 they're 330 on the website and Microsoft finally approved so they have started shipping i get mine tomorrow

[@drunkenmosquito1997]

I was about to purchase the Wasabi version because they say available for immediate delivery.

ive had this for awhile too its great with wicked cushions

[@sphinx9517]

What’s wicked cushions

[@lightningevo5429]

@sphinx9517 its an aftermarket ear cuff making company

[@consumertechwarehouse]

@sphinx9517 it's cushions replacements for headsets that improves sound and comfort. It's crazy. The cushions have a pretty sizable impact on the sound signature on some headsets.

What actually is this headset compared to the Focal Bathys Headphones the Focal’s are so much better in every category lol and just a better overall product and have the best audio quality of any audiophile headphones this isn’t the ‘Best Audio Quality’ you can get from a pair of audiophile headphones try the Focal Bathys and they’ll knock this out the park in terms of audio quality and everything else 😂

[@jordonxgamer3216]

for the low low price of $600 😂
