I’m another proud Maxwell owner that hopes Audeze will standup and address this major design flaw. We need someone from Audeze’s Engineering or Product Owner to provide a honest explanation of the faulty component and a mitigation plan for all current owners (mail-in warranty repair/free post-fix replacement). Not addressing this physical design issue feels criminal and irresponsible. Shame!

You are a lucky maxwell owner, nothing to be proud of.. the device is overpriced, i'm glad Sony is stepping in

@@belgamsafnExactly. After reading numerous complaints with either the frame or cans themselves failing im going to stick with the Sony Pulse Elites that way I can purchase an extended warranty through bestbuy. I'd buy the Maxwells if they were sold through bestbuy but im not dealing with having to mail stuff back and play the waiting game. If I have an issue I can take them straight to bestbuy and swap them out with a new one. QC issues and Design flaws are keeping me away. Even if the sound quality is crazy good.

AFAIK Audeze have have a pretty good track record with their customer support/warrenty, and since it broke quite quickly by a suspected QC/design issue they should offer a replacement/credit etc for you. Though it does worry me a little bit now I have placed my order and has been waiting a month for mine… I’ll treat them more delicately more than I otherwise would then. My daily wireless driver of choice atm is the Focal Bathys when out and about, and intended to use the Maxwell has a desk headset only.

@Pandemonium088 Жыл бұрын

No matter how good their track record is they would normally want you to ship these back to them at your own cost and from where I live and this happens to me, the shipping price might be close to 30-50% of the headset value.

Both sides of the headset snapped off/got unglued for me after a few months use. First my right side, then almost exactly a month later, the left. I use my headset for work from home, so I just bought superglue and glued them back together instead of going the warranty route which would have required me to send in my headset.

The headband on my Drop Pandas failed in the same area. I 3D modelled and printed a set of rectangular blocks with a closed channel inside. One side of the channel was printed with a slit in it allowing them to flex open during installation. They're the only thing holding these headphones together now and they've been working great for about 2 years. I think I'm going to do the same for these Maxwells before they break too

If I were you I would RMA. My set didn't work out of the box, and the customer support people were awesome and helped me right away. Now they're my fav headphones. It could help to have one notch on the tightest setting and the other on the middle one. That's how I wear mine now.

Yeah, I just got my replacement back and once I test it out I'll make a follow-up video to this. And yep, that's how I had mine also for a while. Probably the most viable choice. Both on the tightest setting seems too dangerous.

@dubonstin8676 14 күн бұрын

@@AgoraphobicNews Based on what you can find on the internet, you cannot argue, that its a common issue, but also cannot negate that this might happen. If nothing is broken and its just the adhesive which lost its properties (which seems to be the case, when looking up this problem), you can just repair it yourself really easily. Just get some alcohol to clean of the residues of the original glue and replace it with something like a 2 compund epoxy.

@BadIntentStreamTechReviews Жыл бұрын

I'm a pretty extreme basshead, so my custom isn't for most people but: - For FPS games I keep it completely default. Maybe +1 or +2 on 4 KHz to make it sound more open. - For most music I use: 32 - 500 Hz all 0 (default). 1 KHz -9, 2 KHz -9, 4 KHz -9, 8 KHz - 8, 16 KHz -9. In my experience, lowering the highs works out better than boosting the bass since I can raise the volume more before it starts to clip.

@BadIntent Stream Tech Reviews Since these have such great audio is it worth fixing /modding them to be stronger (without using tape lol) at this clear weak point.

Good question. I'm not sure what the most effective way to mod them would be, but I do think the sound is so good it's worth at least trying. Problem is if the mod or fix doesn't work out very well, it's gonna make getting a replacement an even bigger PITA than before.
