Audeze Maxwell Wireless Gaming Headset for PlayStation, Mac, PC, and Switch

I came from the senhieser momentum 3s. These guys I’d say are 3-5 times better sounding. They are 200 grams heavier than my old headset but are comfier to wear. I do feel the additional weight after ~6 hours of use. But I’m sure will go away as I use this daily and my neck gets used to it. I love the features. The range is GREAT I go anywhere in my house with perfect connectivity. I did have to move the dongle to a port on a less restricted port ( back to from port ). I haven’t had to charge them yet so I guess the battery is great !! Music sounds incredible, I take the microphone off when I listen in bed but put on for gaming. I paid 450$ cad all in all for this. I believe this product is extremely fairly priced for what you get. They take a little bit to get used to but once you do they are quite a pleasure. I have no issue believing these will last for a long time. There are also many updates to software which is nice to see. There was a French review that when I translated it called headsets “helmets” but I can’t help but think of these as my helmet hetset. There huge. But comfortable, they really hide it in the design. I’m impressed and am happy audeze made a high quality headset with a fair price. I believe this is the new gold standard for wireless music/gaming headsets

10/10 audio, 10/10 build quality, 10/10 functionality. The headset is a little on the heavy side.

Ottime, indubbiamente l'audio più pulito che abbia mai sentito tra i prodotti "gaming". Vorrei scrivere elogi al riguardo, ma conviene andare a leggere recensioni tecniche invece. Principalmente le uso per PC, personalmente ho preso una versione PlayStation per poter sfruttare l'audio Tempest, ma in realtà o non ho sentito alcuna differenza io o non cambia poi così tanto, conviene prendere la versione Xbox che fornisce la licensa Dolby Atmos per PC inclusa... mica male, quelle PlayStation non lo fanno. La latenza tramite Wireless e Bluetooth è ottima, unica pecca è che quando non vi sono suoni di alcun tipo il primo playback ha un minimo di ritardo e si perde la prima parte di ciò che si ascolta. Per farla breve, se sei su Windows e non hai suoni ma cominci a sentire un audio tipo di Telegram ti perdi il primo mezzo secondo, stessa cosa per quando si registra col microfono. Indubbiamente è un problema relativo al risparmio energetico, penso lo abbiano quasi tutti e non ho visto se è risolvibile, però durante le varie call nessuno si è mail lamentato. Qualità del microfono OK, non incredibile ma OK. La batteria dura veramente tanto, ormai le uso ogni giorno da più di un anno e non mi si sono mai scaricate durante l'utilizzo, ho sempre avuto tantissimo tempo dal primo avviso di batteria scarica. Comodissimo il fatto che si ricaricano tramite USB-C. Bello anche il fatto che sia possibile collegare sia al dongle Wireless che al Bluetooth allo stesso tempo, unica pecca è che questa può essere un'arma a doppio taglio. Se lo collegate al PC (Wireless dongle) e al telefono (bluetooth) sentirete il PC, tranne nel caso in cui ci sia dell'audio nel canale bluetooth, in tal caso non sentirete più il PC ma solo il bluetooth. Di suo questa cosa è comodissima, bisogna solo fare attenzione alle notifiche, che potrebbero interrompere il playback del dongle senza motivo, però lì basta smanettare con il telefono. Mai avuto problemi con tasti e cose varie, non sono leggerissime ma sono incredibilmente comode. Per la prima volta ho avuto delle cuffie che non hanno avuto bisogno del periodo di "break in", sono state comode da subito. Inoltre non ho mai avuto problemi relativi a pairing, tasti non funzionanti o cose del genere (che sono state sempre le cause di un cambio cuffie).

To try and keep things brief, I'll just say that my experience with this product aligns with the many reviews you can find on YouTube. If you're looking for a wireless headset and sound quality/fidelity is the most important thing for you, this is the headset for you. I was watching "Mad Max: Fury Road", and there was a particular scene where the soundtrack had a consistent sub-bass baseline going, while lots of car engines revving, gunshots, explosions, just a wide variety of complex, meaty sounds and these headphones ate it for breakfast, keeping every individual sound distinct and clear, while also having crystal clear dialogue (probably the first time watching this movie where mumbling Tom Hardy's lines were actually easy to hear). Same quality applies for games and music. *Build Quality*: Very good. Probably better off looking up a YT video rather than having me describe it, but for $330 I would probably say it's even better than expected. Mostly metal/leather, little plastic. *Comfort*: This will vary from person to person. These are definitely heavier headphones than what most people will have tried up to now. For me, I don't find them uncomfortable. I wear them for work, and they fall within the range of "forget they're there" when I'm focused on a task. Same goes for gaming/movies. I do hear from other people that the weight or fit doesn't work for them, and I can see that being the case. *Battery Life*: I haven't timed it, but I'll just say that the 80-hour target seems realistic. They last a really, really long time. *Polish*: It's important to know ahead of time that Audeze is not a huge company on the same level as Sony/Bose/Sennheiser, and as such the UX isn't going to be up to the same level of polish as those other companies. For me, I only really care if my headphones sound good, are comfortable enough, and connectivity and all that functions, so some of the occasional "jankiness" of the Audeze app and such don't bother me, but this is up to you. I've head of people having issues with firmware updates and needing to do factory resets and things like that. Just know that at $300-$330, these headphones are actually priced very aggressively. To find better sound quality on a wireless headphone you'd probably need to buy a Focal Bathy at $700. All the budget went into "core" headphone functionalities (sound, build). For me this is a feature, since I get more of what I care about for the $$, but other people might want something with more polish, in the form of responsive apps, ANC, etc., which is fine.
