@bonanzabrandon6877 Жыл бұрын

I like that you compared it to the other high end headsets. Comparisons are important because obviously when someone is looking for a new headset they are going to be looking at all of their options, so comparisons of headsets around the same price are vital.

Just got mine pair two days ago. What a marvel. Truly. They sound amazing out of the box. What I was and still am amazed by is the way Audeze made Maxwell hide it's weight. When stationary I barely feel them. Granted I'm a bigger side of things, but still. Fantastic stuff. Cheers.

The review quality on this is insane :) I have the original Mobius and am on the more audiophile side of listening. The Mobius had its issues, but it was basically the best all rounder headset for both average consumer and audiophile listening. It did have its issues though that made it less competitive in today's world, so was super excited about the Maxwell - they basically took everything (except weight) and improved it as mentioned on paper. Now with this review, I'm even more confident that they've smashed it out the park - can't wait to get mine. Also new sub, great review - thank you for the time and effort used to spread the knowledge :D

Love love love your channel man you are by far without a doubt the best “reviewer” you talk about what matters and should actually be talked about and not the nonsense a lot of people like to ramble about that requires very little actual work on their end and makes for easy talking time in their video to make their videos longer.

I just got the maxwells today and man am I impressed. The directional sound is amazing for gaming and the clarity of audio is insane. Chat and game are both clear even when a lot is going on. Music, game and discord all sounds crystal clear and are audible without any muddy blending. I changed the EQ to be a bit more bassy because the stock EQ wasn't as clear sounding to me, could be that I'm so used to bass since I've used the astro a10s for about 5 years. Another thing I notices is the bass isn't overpowering and it has a bit of punchiness to it and no distortion. It really sounds amazing because your mids and highs don't get muddy from the bass. The microphone isn't as bad as I've heard it sound on some of thr videos I've seen. It's marginally worse than my astro a10s but not so bad that it ruins peoples ears. Honestly the best pick up ever. I bought the set brand new from ebay with the 1 year manufacturer warranty for $250. A great pick up for $300 but i got a good steal for brand new. If you can get a pair of these I highly recommend forking out the extra money for this especially if you're looking to go wireless.
