Audeze Maxwell Review: Don't Make THIS Mistake | Moon Audio

Heads up: It's not just three options for the headband adjustment. You can move just one side and get a much better fit, rather than moving both sides of the band.

I upgraded from the Astro A50 to the Astro A50X and finally to the Audeze Maxwell. With the Maxwell, I can hear instruments, notes, and accents in music that I never noticed before.

What's the difference between what you did and the Xbox version regarding support for Atmos? Is the atmos support in the cans themselves or the drivers on PC? E.g. if I connect the headphones to a FireTV stick, will I hear the Dolby Atmos effects watching Jack Ryan like on a soundbar? Or the licence is in software outside the headphones themselves. Do you know if the answer to that question would be different depending on xbox/ps5 version?

Ps5's next big firmware update will support Atmos, so will Maxwell come out with a firmware update that allows Atmos feedback for the ps5 set?

The new PS5 firmware update adds support for HDMI-connected devices with Atmos licenses. Due to this, the PS5 Maxwell will not have Atmos unless Sony adds support via USB and/or wireless devices in the future. If that happens, we imagine Audeze could release a firmware update, but at this time it's not possible for the PS5 Maxwells to have Atmos support.

Great coverage. Why dont these headphones let you connect via USB direct into the AV Reciever? That way you can output whatever sound from whatever devices you have connected to the reciever. Its odd everything has to be platform specific. Maybe Im missing something. Ordered these, but wondering if I can just hook the USB dongle into my Marantz SR6014 Av reciever and output the sound that way? Guessing not. Its a little irritating to constantly be wearing out USB -ports every time you switch devices and with limited USB slots on PS5 and Series X, problematic since I use brooke adapters to use multiple controllers on those platforms. Might have to use the back USB port on Series X, unsure if PS5 has extra USB ports.

Forgive me if this a ridiculous question but are these also able to be paired directly to a TV as well or strictly a gaming console? Gamer since Atari 2600 but first venture into headphones. Looking for 1 all around system to pair with TV and Xbox... appreciate the feedback. (Samsung smart TV with Bluetooth)

[@moon-audio]

Not a question we were expecting but it was certainly fun to test! You can pretty easily connect these Maxwells to a Samsung Smart TV. Open the settings app, go to audio outputs and select Bluetooth speakers. Then make sure your Maxwells are turned on and double tap the power button to enable pairing mode. The option to connect came up instantly for us on the TV. From there all TV functions were instantly outputting to the headphones! We do not have an Xbox in office currently, but it seems likely the TV output would also extend to the Xbox. However, this might introduce more compression and latency than if you connect to the Xbox via Bluetooth separately. Ideally you would want to use the wireless USB dongle to output the Xbox to the headphones so we tested to make sure you can quickly switch between Bluetooth and USB output to the headphones on a PC and you can! So the ideal setup would be to pair your Maxwells to the TV via Bluetooth and just leave the USB dongle plugged into the Xbox. It should automatically switch back and forth! 🙂

sorry no one replied to you, but if you have a dolby atmos license you shouldn’t need the xbox version

[@williamcodywinter]

How does it compare to the Astro A50 gen 4?

[@moon-audio]

We greatly prefer the sound quality of the Maxwell, but admit that the Astro A50 Gen 4 also has some good features. Our pick is the Maxwell!

[@darkjacob886]

if i bought the x box verision but use for ps5 ....the dolby atmos does work anyway=9?

[@kirafluffy5377]

Does anyone know how to connect the Wireless Maxwells to Xbox? I’m so confused

[@swekz]

I have a good soundcard, can it be used with this headset? Or should i go with usb dongle?

[@moon-audio]

Depends on your sound card's specs and I/O. We find that connecting via the Maxwell's included USB-C dongle or a USB-C cable direct from the headphones to your computer works best. 🙂

[@matthewrezuke8130]

This headset has a built in amp / dac.. your sound card is not needed. the usb dongle is for connecting wirelessly..

[@anvaraanvar1012]

People, please tell me: Is the bass good or weak?

[@CheezeN7]

Super good. If you use bass boost or immersive in the EQ, you can feel the vibration.

[@anvaraanvar1012]

@@CheezeN7 oh man!!! Big thnx to you! You Really help Me

[@moon-audio]

The bass response on the Audeze Maxwell is awe-inspiring. The deep rumbling sub-bass pairs with the excellent mid-bass slam to envelop a player in an immersive and visceral gaming experience. www.moon-audio.com/maxwell-wireless-gaming-headphones.html. If you'd like to talk further about Audeze Maxwell, please don't hesitate to contact us at moon-audio.com. 🙂

[@anvaraanvar1012]

@@moon-audio Okay, then a counter question. How to watch movies in them? Like the ones directed by Michael Bay? Do they convey not only the purity of sound, but also the special effects themselves? Do they have big bass like the Focal Bathys? Or do I need to adjust it separately in the equalizer?

[@iTheShirt]

The crinkle of death is common after the 6 month mark with Maxwells. Great sound but when the silver film inside the earcup gets wrinkled, you'll hear it constantly even with them off. I've sent an email to Audeze support. Ill update with the result of anyone is interested. 300 for 6mo failure isn't what I would recommend no matter how heavenly they sound.

u can switch a switch on the dongle from xbox to pc and they should work on the PlayStation too with the usb dongle

Great information here!

Now that ps5 supposrts dolby atmos, any chance you can test that feature on ps5 with the xbox version of the headset

[@moon-audio]

That's something we will keep in mind for future testing! In theory the performance should be very similar to how well the Xbox performs with Atmos. As a whole we find Dolby Atmos to be better than tempest, so we would recommend trying out Atmos if you had the headset.

[@Junitil]

Dolby atmos est disponible seulement sur PS5 et seulement pour les haut parleur de votre TV, et non avec un casque :)

[@bllopawah]

driver keeps crinkling untill it dies completely, hopefully the 3rd pair will work.............

[@888YouCantHandle]

Dolby Atmos works on PS5.

[@moon-audio]

As we understand it, yes, Dolby Atmos is now supported on the Sony PS5. However, this applies only to HDMI-connected devices which, of course, the Maxwell is not. If you have been able to get Atmos working on your PlayStation Maxwell, please let us know! 🙂

Hello, I was going to but a pair of them to use on my PC. Which version should I buy? Ps or Xbox? Is there any difference?

[@moon-audio]

We recommend the Xbox version for PC users. The PlayStation version is $30 cheaper because it doesn't include a Dolby Atmos license. Let us know if you have any other questions! 🙂

[@AdultVirgin]

@@moon-audio Dolby atmos is half that price difference. If you’re never going to use the headset on an Xbox it makes way more sense the buy Dolby atmos separately. Are you trying to trick customers into buying the more expensive version by leaving this incredibly important point (that other reviewers clearly state) out?

[@mikerosato83]

Do these headphones have any bass? I have been using the Corsair Virtuoso XT Wireless and through USB cable wIred and USB wireless dongle using the native headset 7.1 Audio processing the bass not optimal. Though Using a 3.5mm cable to use my motherboard Realtek onboard processing along with Window Dolby Atmos Processing at 24bit/48000Khz and added Gain using a third party EQ App the Corsair Virtuoso will have adequate bass and hi end tones the gain really enhances the foot steps I notices I can even hear my foot steps much louder while crouch walking in COD MW3 . Im trying to justify switching from the Corsair Virtuoso XT Wireless to the Audeze Maxwell Wireless. The Audeze Maxwell Wireless has 90mm drivers which IO assume could push more bass the the Corsairs 50mm drivers. Have you guys had a chance to do a comparison in Bass while gaming and listening to music?

[@moon-audio]

We haven't been able to compare to that headphone, but the Maxwells have a pleasant, tight bass response due to their planar magnetic drivers. We find it delivers a level of sound reproduction that would please both analytical listeners and bass lovers!

Sorry, but what _mistake_ are we not supposed to make? I must've missed it.

[@MacMiskenn]

I have the Penrose and everybody raved about it. Honestly it's crap, sound was only "decent" when connected by wire. Comfort was awful, mic was awful. Range was worse than awful even disconnecting when right next to computer. Battery life was less than 7 hours. Sidetone was absolutely terrible. I'm very vary of getting the Maxwell, but my old Steelseries need an upgrade. Anybody have the Maxwell and can actually recommend it?

[@Seitenwerk]

Not all said is true: yes, the PlayStation version has no Dolby Atmos, but that’s because the PlayStation has Tempest instead :) no need for paying more for a Dolby license (actually another fail for Microsoft that customers even have to deal with such things) The Xbox version is compatible with PlayStation, but only as a sideeffect. Audeze themselves says they wouldn’t recommend it and problems may happen

[@MrSitallewal1983]

Wrong it has but on ps5 it uses tempest on other devices its can use dolby atmos
