I bought these to replace my broken Mobius headset (5 years of near-daily use had its toll). I was expecting a lateral move but was blown away by the upgrade. Better build quality, clarity/staging, comfort, mic quality, and INSANE BATTERY LIFE. I also tried the Arctis Nova Pros and really liked them, but the Maxwells sound way better to my ear. The only drawback is the sidetone can be a little noisy when turned on otherwise, this is the perfect gaming headset.

[@AudioAdvice]

You got it! Yes, that is a great point, thanks for sharing!

[@martybrazill7935]

They certainly look like "grown up" gaming headphones. Audeze makes some of the best headphones on the planet.

[@AudioAdvice]

We agree, thanks!

[@chrisgargiulo304]

Great description of features!

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks for watching!

[@stevelucey7719]

I had a chance to listen to these at Audio Advice Live last year and they sounded excellent!

[@AudioAdvice]

Awesome! Hope to see you again this year!

[@SydneyPeterson-sd7tz]

Great video!

[@AudioAdvice]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@sethfm9773]

Impressive performance and features in a gaming headphone.

[@AudioAdvice]

For sure! Thanks for watching!

[@user-bf4oz6vf4p]

Awesome headset!

[@AudioAdvice]

Agreed!

[@bakermiaz]

I got one of these about a week ago. I had gone through SteelSeries, uncomfortable and don't sound very nice. Corsair virtuoso xt, great for simultaneous bluetooth and pc dongle, great mic but they don't sound very nice, clear but harsh in the higher freqs. Razer black shark pro 2, very nice, sounds pretty good, very comfortable my second favorited headset and at a good price. Then I got these Audeze Maxwell, its on a whole new level. I am very into music, I appreciate the excellent sound quality for music and movies, I don't only play games. I wish it had simultaneous bluetooth and dongle but I can live without that,. I love having separate chat mix like the older SteelSeries. The battery lasts for days while using more or less all day. Heavy yeah I know but its so comfortable you forget the weight after a few minutes.

[@AudioAdvice]

Awesome break down, thanks for sharing!

When I returned to gaming about 3 years ago I picked up the Steel Series 1, now I'm excited for these and here's why. A lot of the times I'm not playing games and using my headphones to watch movies OR a series OR I'm listing to music while gaming. Steel Series are great and all but there is NO bass period and although the sound is clear in games you don't feel that rumble from explosions I have been craving to have. I have done everything from downloading the software and other programs to adjust the Steel Series settings, I just can't no matter what get the sound I want. I feel like these will bring the immersion to the next level AND finally get me to that sound I've been dying to have. I'm also one of those 2000s kids who grew up with The Fast and Furious, I had a incredible sound system trying to deck out my car. I can't wait to get that back but with headphones. I live with my family ofc and I don't want to wake anybody up with external speakers which is why I want incredible headphones. I might have made the jump sooner but Steel Series are great, it's just time to step it up to the next level.

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks for sharing. We have both models in stock www.audioadvice.com/audeze-maxwell-wireless-gaming-headset

[@joshuaperez9994]

Can I just use the dongle on the other console, will it work? (I have ps5 and Xbox so I’d like to know if it works)

[@VonDutchNL]

Yes, the Xbox version works both on Xbox and Ps5.. i know because i use my Maxwell's on both (oh and on PC)

[@AudioAdvice]

Good question, we did not test that. But it seems like @vondutchnl was able to get the Xbox one to work for both! Thanks!

[@aideyl9626]

So can I hook them up to a creative soundblaster X3 dac,amp ? I'm guessing not because these have their own dac amp built in ?

[@AudioAdvice]

Yes, that will feed them a better source. Thanks for watching

[@raulvallado6614]

I have a blue yeti mic, should I use this mic or maxwell's mic?

[@AudioAdvice]

That is a better mic. Thanks for watching

[@chibbyylol]

Still think an audiophile grade headphone with an external microphone is the way to go but I guess this is decent if one MUST have an all in one.

[@AudioAdvice]

We agree, thanks for watching

[@wahid5812]

I want to buy a headset for gaming and watching movies and series. I don’t care about the price. What matters to me is the quality of the sound and enjoyment. What do you advise me?

[@AudioAdvice]

Maxwell's or if you want even better sound but will be wired, check out the Audeze LCD-GX - www.audioadvice.com/audeze-lcd-gx-open-back-headphones

[@x-ray3431]

Will that dongle work on the Nintendo switch when docked?

[@AudioAdvice]

No, you will need access to the USB -C port for the dongle to work.

[@AnimichileTV]

Or take the bluetooth connection on switch

[@Toni_De_Arcadia]

Bought these last year. Great headset ever. 😎

[@AudioAdvice]

Glad you like them!

[@lightningevo5429]

hey, im about to get these shipped in next week, is there anything I should know that isnt on reviews?

[@AudioAdvice]

Nope! If you have any questions feel free to reach out to our team at audioadvice.com!

[@user-sc7gd6gv4s]

I have a question Has it 8 channel audio ?

[@AudioAdvice]

No, but it does have Dolby Atmos with the Xbox version.

[@Yukimuraa]

does it work for the goxlr ?

[@AudioAdvice]

We have not tested it ourselves but it should work.

[@hp1799]

Very good video why can’t the voice game chat work on a PlayStation? When is PlayStation’s gonna allow it? That’s one of the reason I like about these headsets.

[@AudioAdvice]

It is a PlayStation limitation, not the headphones. As far as we know, PlayStation won't let any headphones besides their own use that feature which is a bummer. Hopefully they allow it in the future

[@Shad0wfeast]

wait, so you mean to tell me you can’t use these headphones to use voice chat inside video games?

[@hp1799]

@@Shad0wfeast not with the PlayStation

[@mell6386]

Need!

[@AudioAdvice]

We have them!

[@volvvix]

Spunds good but if u have a big head you're gonna have to take the strap off and angle it so i seals correctly

[@AudioAdvice]

Thanks for sharing. Good point.

[@AlexBorrero-AA]

As a gamer I am always in the market for better headphones.

[@AudioAdvice]

These will be a great option!

[@hp1799]

I just purchased these headset. They’re very good and they constantly making an update to make them better.

[@josesemino8284]

Had 2 of these the right side drivers stopped working after about 5 months on both of them got the astro a50x way better headset and mic

[@AudioAdvice]

Sorry to hear about that. Thanks for sharing.

[@qrajr]

where test?

[@AudioAdvice]

It's hard to do a test over KZbin. It'd be best to try to test yourself in person if you can.
