New Wicked Cushions Freeze Pads for Audeze Maxwell PLUS multiple FPS EQs!

[@LinksRoyal]

would love to buy it from Singapore. ( i dont think you ship it over yet? )

[@datdudeinred]

Audeze x aydan already comes with wicked cushions pads they aren't gel ones though so best pf both worlds not heavy but they look deeper than og.

[@willramz]

I saw on Reddit that you bought a second Maxwell. Did you note any difference or inconsistencies between the two headsets?

[@mbarrios386]

Waiting on my delivery to try them tomorrow

[@mrsocrates2211]

I really want my first wireless headphones to be this one

[@TheQuickyouknow]

I wish WC would make velour/leather combos. I tried the freeze pads on the Penrose and they're only cool for the first 20 minutes and after an hour they're hotter. Velour for me doesn't hold cold or heat much, so they're great for long term use.

[@MrJmillz777]

Are you using Dolby Atmos with those EQ?

[@GadgetryTech]

On PC and Xbox yes. Set Atmos to Game Mode > Performance Mode Off. Do not add on any EQ within Atmos on top of this.

[@matthewharrison7153]

For anyone worried or on the fence about the maxwell and it’s size. I have a fairly tall and big head, 7 3/4 hat. They fit me perfect on the middle setting of the strap. I was worried it might be to heavy, I don’t find it any heavier than any other high quality headset. I use WC freeze pads and the headset is insanely comfortable. It doesn’t feel heavy at all when holding it, just well built. I do have a pretty strong linebacker type neck but I can’t imagine it being too much for someone smaller. It honestly doesn’t feel “heavy” to me at all. Remember these weights are in grams so even a bigger number still isn’t heavy. It will feel heavier if you’re used to all plastic headsets but to me it just feels solid and well built. Should fit any head very comfortably and I played for 7 hours straight with no weight or neck issues. Hope this helps

[@jwlafferty]

Thank you, it's always important to hear from my colleagues in the Big Head Club. Most people don't know the (literal) pain we go through trying to find a headset!

[@Daeys2411]

hello , I'm on the fence to buy this headset because it doesn't have active noise cancellation and the weight !but I'm intrigued by it ! it has all -the things I want . my problem with over-ear headsets are the strap on top of it that gives me pressure on my head ! in my country it is 430€ (for xbox) this is the first I hear about this brand and want quality

Excellent Video! Thank you for the custom EQs as well!!! Loving the Maxwells so far.

[@action-xp9zo]

I really wanted to love the wicked cushions on my Maxwells, but all honesty the original cushions that come on the headphones are better, yes, they get a little warm overtime but it’s definitely worth it, everything is so much more immersive and full compared to the wicked missions, but if you’re willing to sacrifice quality for comfort, then I completely understand

[@AlexanderXtcSlayin]

Can you come out with EQ for music? Rock music preferably

[@snickerdood1e5]

Im surprised you don’t don’t testing on games like Hunt showdown who uses 3D audio and all that jazz. Would be great to see you do an EQ for that!

[@revotuberacer]

Is there any video update after this one?

[@Kayswag77]

You mention not using a dac/amp for this headset but when i plug my 3.5 cable into my ps5 controller i notice a volume difference .. the volume gets lowered when i plug into my ps5 controller, is that normal?

[@GadgetryTech]

Did you turn up the controller volume on your PS5 audio settings at the bottom of the screen? It's often not turned up.

[@arnoldmorales9189]

@GadgetryTech Thanks for the 15% off. Just ordered my pair of WC. My Maxwell X is also on its way, so I'm super excited to pair the two together. Appreciate your advice and expertise.

[@reinardpalomo]

Hi GadgetryTech! I really love your EQ presets for games. It would be amazing if you could update presets for CSGO because CS2 is released now and CSGO is not playable anymore, CS2 is a completely different game engine and sound system so CSGO presets are pretty much useless right now. Thank you very much!

[@bjfreshy1746]

Would be cool if you could make a Hunt: Showdown EQ setting for the Maxwell. Sound in Hunt: Showdown is suuuuper important and can be the deciding factor. Also it has a pretty sophisticated sound engine and headsets should be used in stereo only as recommended by the developers, would be interesesting to see what you think about it ^^

[@hakan7346]

Game doesnt matter good set of cans are good in every game. İf you need to hear footsteps reloads and stuff a generic V shape game EQ will be enough. You dont need a 300 USD gaming cans for it either. Competetive edge sound is the opposite of GOOD sound.

[@snaxxx1379]

They are good.. I had them for the nova7 and dang they felt great even after 5 hours.. nothing is perfect and will stay cool, you need to find something that still feels good while warm and these felt great! 100 percent recommended..

[@RetroX-uu6cq]

dude thank you so much for all of this information... I recently pre-ordered the Maxwell's ultraviolet edition.. getting ready for starfield LOL. and also have a pair of the '90s ear cushions and headband coming... one of my biggest things is getting the EQ right.. so I have a few questions or could you possibly make a video.. I'm looking for the best immersive sound when it comes to single player games only. starfield, horror games etc. I know there's a EQ app on Windows to download the updates and do that as well.. but also on Xbox there's quite a few different settings different sound apps and they also have their own EQ setting. could you possibly recommend or a how-to video on getting the best sound??? and how do I start this whole process? again buddy thank you so much for your hard work great channel.

[@runehalm6059]

Best channel 🙂

[@GadgetryTech]

Thanks so much :)

[@Ryan-re1rs]

Are these headphones really good at story games, or are they just footstep blasters? I have the h6pro and love the sound, but I want to have sidetone and chat mixing and im struggling with finding a dac amp or usb interface that will allow the h6pro to do that with ease and not cost as much as the h6pro cost me. I got the gsx1000 but I'm not enjoying it much and returning it.

[@elicitus5724]

It will be awesome if you could show some EQs for open world games.🙏🙏

[@GadgetryTech]

I was thinking about it but I love the stock immersive preset so much for open world stuff! I think it comes down to personal preference after that

[@finalnode451]

Thanks for this video! I'm hoping to get a wireless headset for mainly FPS gaming, I need side tone and would love chatmix. I'm considering Audeze Maxwell's or the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. I won't spend a lot of time listening to music or watching movies so purely gaming, would you say the steelseries would be better for my use case? Thanks!

[@johnspellman6665]

Hi GT - I can't seem to find any EQ for general gaming? Did you ever do one in a review? Did you make one after the app was released. Looking for a one time set and forget 🙂 Many Thanks.

[@hp1799]

Everybody is saying this is very good. I need one for rainbow six siege which one do you recommend I have the same headset.

[@corerampage7587]

just curious as a few months ago you mentioned you’ll do a new maxwell video once you’re able to EQ it, how would you rate the imaging now after tuning?

[@GadgetryTech]

This is helping to boost frequencies that you want to hear for specific games, but it won't ever fully fix imaging performance. It's still a solid headset with all aspects of gaming, but EQ can only push it so far when it comes to pinpoint accuracy. I find that's it's good enough where I don't blame the headset if I lose, but at the same time, a couple others are consistently more precise sounding for pinpoint accuracy.

[@Hammertime97]

@@GadgetryTechI was wondering what audio mix you recommend in the MW2 audio settings to go with this EQ? Thanks

[@attemptityourself5662]

How coincidental. After 3 months of annoying them Audeze finally sent my warranty replacement out yesterday as well. Still will never buy from them again. But I'll try to handle the replacement with Mickey mouse gloves and see how long it lasts.

[@xPenitentOne]

The sound change with different pads is interesting, I had the nova 7x with different pads, but thicker. And it sounded actually better, not as muffled. Nice to see how WC worked it out =) sad to see issues already coming up with the Maxwell. Guess i stick with my Stealth Pro, can't wait for the new pads!

Thank you so so much for the EQ. Has anyone experienced the crinkle noise with these and if so is there fix? I love headset but it also drives me crazy at the same time. If I slightly move my head it sounds like someone crinkling a wrapper in my ear.

[@edwinsegoviano8396]

Sidetone turn it off

[@Eyadish90]

I had that with my Penrose headset. To my understanding (that can be 100% wrong) it happens when you apply too much air pressure to the driver (?) and it somewhat breaks. To my knowledge no fix for it. I talked with the store I bought it from, and it sounded like it wasn't covered under warranty. So that is when I stopped using my Penrose. Seems like you need to be somewhat delicate with planer magnetic. When putting on the headset, you should never push the earpads into your head. Sorry for maybe the bearer of bad news

[@alexmoga2344]

When we’re doing custom Eq through the squiglink method in your other video should I use sonar, atmos and the Audeze engine at once or…? What settings should I be using?

[@nicholasparry2521]

On the dolby atmos app on xbox are you using game preset with performance mode on ? Or just custom 1 flat eq

[@NotFoundead]

You forgot to make a preset for "Your favorite first person shooters’ favorite first person shooter". Unacceptable.

[@mikedergalev]

I don't trust gel inside, just don't) gonna wait for Dekoni pads. Any idea if they are on the way?

[@ionizedheart]

I’m super late to this party but out of curiosity if I’m using the immersive preset with the stock pads should I swap back to the Audeze preset with the WC pads because they lift bass a little bit?

[@MrSouthSioux]

The whole cooling, throw them in the refrigerator marketing is kind of goofy to be honest. Wicked cushions are simply more comfortable and thicker where it counts and for me I like the cloth much better then leatherette. Much thanks for updated EQs.

[@11202]

Honestly while it's just a footnote and more of a novelty. The freeze pads are kind of fun to pop into the fridge real quick. It is a nice sensation especially after a longer session. That said it really only works with magnetic earcup systems. And I'm still on the fence about it but having two so one is always cooling off sounds appealing.

[@hp1799]

Very good what can I use for rainbow six siege

[@AlAl-rw9ux]

guys,help me pls, when i try do EQs like this my preset crush...what to do?

[@jugado219]

Can you do a hellsdiver2 and battlefield preset please....

[@vxrsul]

U can change ur eq by double tapping ur volume control slider

[@danielestark2927]

Just a question: but what is the purpose of the AUX jack in the Maxwells then? I am a bit thoughtful about buying them, I would have wanted to connect them to the PC with the 3.5mm jack (I think the motherboard acts as a DAC/amplifier in this case?). I didn't understand if I risk damaging them this way or not :c

[@GadgetryTech]

No problem. For PC, you'd want to use the headset as a USB-C headset, or just use the wireless adapter. It will work much better than aux, as all of the processing happens within the headset itself. Aux is there for a fall back. If you bought the PS5/PC version of the Maxwell, you can still use it on Xbox, as long as you connect the aux cable to the controller. Whenever it's possible to use the Dongle or USB-A to C cable, use that though. Hopefully that helps!

[@bojamijams]

Any chance you would be interested in making an EQ preset for Battlefield 2042? Quite popular game in the recent weeks so I think there would be interest for it

[@GadgetryTech]

I almost did! Yeah I can certainly make a follow up to this. Will let you know.

[@shaheedkhan9166]

I used the maxwell only for single player. I game only on PS5. I use VZR model one and the pulse elite headset for multiplayer shooters only. 3D audio sounds really good on VZR and pulse elite with shooters games.

[@spookykid666]

Looking forward to seeing how these headphones sound compared to my current Sennheiser 598SR headphones which are like 6 years old at this point. I have been wanting wireless but waiting for the tech to be enough that its atleast slightly better sounding than what I have and it sounds like these might be it. I ordered a while ago but sounds like sometimes this month they are shipping not sure when this month though they didn't say.

[@Bznunyabizness]

I went from ae5 powered hd650s, custom eqs.. to maxwells for gaming. When it comes to music I prefer my 650s but there’s some detail and accents that come from the maxwells that are still enjoyable for music. It’s a different enjoyment. I love both. They’re certainly worth the investment

[@Ryan-re1rs]

@@Bznunyabizness are maxwells for story games or are these footstep chasers? Idk why so many people just want to hear the loudest footsteps blasting in thier ears and nothing else.. I have the h6pro and love them, but I want sidetone chat mixing that is easy to use..

[@Bznunyabizness]

@@Ryan-re1rs This has the game/chat mixing built into the headset. theres both software, and the slider on the side of the left earcup. I wouldnt say these are peak headsets for footsteps. with certain eqs they can be. but the beauty of these headsets is how tuned they are, and how well they can reproduce multiple sounds that the user can differentiate at the same time. if that makes sense. it provides a fuller experience that alot of headsets drown out

[@iLGuRG]

@@masoneldridge7604 You did very well! I play with glasses and mainly on PS5 and occasionally on Xbox and Switch, only Single Player games and no competitive FPS and I can confirm that in terms of audio they are the best. The biggest problem with the Maxwells, as far as I'm concerned, is the strange management of Bluetooth for Smartphones. If you are connected via Dongle it only transmits the audio of phone calls but strangely it allows you to record (not listen to) audio messages. No other sounds will come from your smartphone, at least if you have an iPhone like me. And this is a huge flaw in my opinion. If you like, I'll write you my experiences with other wireless headphones that I bought and tried in recent days together with the Maxwell ones, all updated to the latest firmware available. Turtle Beach Stealth Pro - Xbox: these are the ones that I personally found to be closest to the audio of the Maxwells but inexplicably have the maximum volume too low. However, to date they remain the most complete that I have tried in managing all sounds and peripherals simultaneously even without a PC, better microphone than the Maxwell (with or without attached headband), but they are very tight on the ears, even with WC FreeZe cushions. However, they remain my favorites right after the Maxwells. Indeed... if it weren't for the pure sound, which I consider the most important thing of all, I would have kept these. SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless - Xbox: too much treble, too little bass and if you raise the latter too much they distort the sound. Overall disappointing audio (the most '80s style radio of all). Mediocre microphone and terrible equalization management: every time I turn off the PS the personalized preset resets, all the others always remain but what I did I always lost. The possibility of being able to connect the 2 consoles to their DAC together is nice, but personally I found them extremely overrated. Always considering that I don't play on PC, so I can't bring with me almost all the customization possibilities that the GG program offers. They have the fact that they are the most comfortable of the 3 and the lightest. P.S.: I then also tried the Razer Kraken V3 Pro Wireless which, regarding the lack of bass of the SteelSeries, I consider them even better in terms of audio, but it is obvious that overall they are inferior. The vibration functionality is very interesting and could become a "Must Have" once you get used to it. Very comfortable and soft, shame about the complete lack of Bluetooth. If I had to choose a gaming headset and had to spend less than the others mentioned above, I would recommend these, perhaps buying them used on Amazon so that they still cost less than the Pulse Elite when new. I hope I have given you a pleasure in expressing these opinions of mine. I just finished doing a little testing and was eager to tell someone about it! ^^

Do you use Dolby Atmos Access in game mode on top of these eqs or keep the console in stereo ?

[@kenv2667]

What does the ready preset looks like? The footsteps and competitive and the others? Im playing Naraka, Farlight 84, less and less pubg and warzone.

[@PaulyDownUnder]

Awesome! Thanks heaps for your informative videos.

[@TheMightyZuko]

would you recommend using the gsx 1000 with the vzr model ones?

[@rickprod]

Hi there my man. Do you know how can I buy the maxwells from Mexico? Thanks.

[@fuzion2003]

Hello, I'm considering buying these for my first gaming headset. Is the dongle necessary for better SQ on my PS5? Just gathering some info and great vid 👍

[@micheled8603]

with the game/chat mix on ps5 is it best to leave on 50/50 on the app/headphone ?? and control it on the ps5 ?

[@kaseykopplin8419]

Need EQ setting for hunt showdown! Best audio for shooters period. Good luck if you try!

[@explosif101]

Will you publish presets for Equalizer APO? I prefer that software, as it boots up at the launch of windows without having to be opened. Im guessing, by using their Hq app, the Eq will be saved on the headset which is really good. But is there a reason for wanting to switch Eq's constantly on a per game bases instead of finding a middle ground for all? Ty & Your the reason I am buying a maxwell today and WC

[@RIRHA]

I ended up having to change the pads to WC because the stock pads are too shallow, my ears touched the drivers making them hurt after some time. Thanks for the video!

[@TheRealDeadliestSin]

Hey Gadgetry do you have any idea why my maxwells are making a aluminum crinkling sound with i move my head, push the power button, or put any pressure when its on my head, it does this when its on and off. I just got them the other day.

[@TheGedzo]

@GadgetryTech When I press Preset 1 Nothing happens, the eq does not show I can only choose between the ones that are already in the app on windows...

[@kenv2667]

I changed my earpads to wicked cushion on day 1 😂 my whole life I have small ears but for some reason it touches the driver when using the stock earpads.

[@NotTheOnlyMattAround]

Exactly the information I needed to know before ordering. Thanks!

[@GadgetryTech]

That was my goal!

[@KlabauterManiac]

So you recommend turning Dolby access off since you're using Audeze's software for custom eq's? Will we get surround sound though?

[@nwebster15]

my ears barely touch the drivers, this should get rid of that right? going to order the 90s ones

[@Itz_JayM]

Picking up my Maxwell headset tomorrow! I've been really tossed on which headset to buy and after watching your review of it plus now seeing a follow up with custom EQ I decided to just go ahead and pick one up. Luckily there is one in stock locally so I dont have to wait for retailers to restock them. Probably going to take advantage of your discount codes and get a set of Wicked cushions right away as I loved my wicked cushions on my last headset

[@LCH.RawMan]

I swear I've seen a WC Freeze custom eq for the maxwells in one of your videos but i can't find it anymore now that I got my cushions 😂😂

[@MaskedOG]

The beta app dosn´t work at all^^ it refreshes all the time and only saves one band.

[@nunyabidness5835]

Is it just me or the maxwell imaging is poor in fps games? Footsteps are really hard to hear and pin point

[@GadgetryTech]

They aren’t as good as the Stealth Pro or Nova Pro wireless when it comes to imaging and fps. There can be some driver inconsistencies as well but not always

[@nunyabidness5835]

@@GadgetryTech thanks dude. I’m going to return these and get the novas.

[@nunyabidness5835]

For anyone who cares I bought the Logitech x 2 wireless, much better at competitive fps footstep wise than the Maxwell.

[@CutingTheEdge]

And of course neither Amazon UK nor Amazon DE ship the pads to my country. Your review of the headset helped to solidify my decision to purchase it, just fyi ;)

[@WickedCushions]

Europe will go in stock on June 10, if you have a local Amazon marketplace, you should try ordering there (not from uk or de)

[@vahidghiasvand9087]

Same here . From Denmark. They dont ship from Germany to Denmark..just ordered from us. Dont give a f... About the tax. I want the cushions 🎉🙏

[@WickedCushions]

@@vahidghiasvand9087 The stock is still not there so it might be why they do not ship it yet
