Wow. Great review! Super in-depth, thank you for not skipping over anything

I bought both the Maxwell and the TB Stealth Pro for comparison. I did not notice any worse imaging on the Maxwell myself and was able to pinpoint enemies in CS & Hunt Showdown just as well. Maybe I just got lucky with driver matching though or it is because people perceive HRTF differently. I sent back the Stealth Pro, the Maxwell wipes the floor with every other gaming headset when it comes to sound quality.

Such a refreshing review!! Talks about actual uses and footsteps which is what no one else does!! Good vid 👍

A good review for sure. Covered so much, which a lot of other youytubers don't do very well.

Was looking for someone to talk about wearing the maxwells for a while and if the weight actually was a problem, it doesn't sound heavy unless you compare them to others anyways. Thanks for hitting on that, subscribed.

Great video as always mate, good to see the pros and cons of both headsets. Really interesting to hear the differences on the mics. Keep up the good work ❤

It could be your eq, I hear footsteps really well on the maxwells. In fact I hear too many footsteps on the maxwells lol. Sometimes it feels like I hear everyone on the map moving.

Hi, I just wanted to ask you do you know you can connect them directly to your TV like the odd ones and getting sound when you watching movies from your TV? Could you let me know please? Thank you.

Hey man are you sure that you can run the A50X with the PS3? Did you tried it by yourself? If yes, PLEASE do some tutorial for that. That would be awesome!

Did you try the (default) EQ setting for footsteps?

Nice video! I just ordered a astro a50x, because i got both a xbox and playstation and this hdmi switch could be perfect for my situation. If i like the astro, then i will sell my maxwell's, because i can't get that headset to fit my head properly unfortunately. I tried several headbands and earpads for this headset, but none of those could make me want to wear to headset for a long time. I got a big head and I always felt the pressure from the standard headband and the wicked cushions one even on max settings. With the standard cushions i also always touched the drivers of the headset the whole time. So if the astro a50x is going to be more comfortable and won't sound alot worse i'm probably gonna keep it, because i noticed comfort is pretty much as important as the sound especially if you play for long sessions. And that simultaneously Bluetooth is also really nice

All I care about is the sound.

The maxwells are in a league of there own i tried the gprox2 just for something lighter but sound quailty isnt even close i do reccomend getting the wicked cushions for the maxwells though improved the comfort alot for me atleast!

Do you keep 3d audio on when using maxwells? Im really on the fence with these 2

On the set up it doesn't show the a50x being plugged into a monitor. Can I have it plugged into the base station and a ps5 and pc on different monitors then just change audio depending on what one I'm using? Or is the articas Pro the only head set that does that?

Question. If I am not mistaken the HDMI port supports 4K 120hz... So if I get a 4K 240hz monitor than this headset for PC is obsolete?

Hey man, honestly enjoyed the video more than a lot of the other reviews I've seen. I am torn, I have had the 2017 A40s with the mix amp since 2019 and they are still kicking. I have really enjoyed the sound of this headset and I am on the fence of jumping ship to the Maxwell's. The A50x seems like the perfect upgrade if I enjoy how the A40s have treated me, especially that new microphone. I have seen so many reviews explaining how good the Maxwell's sound music wise, and I am super interested in them because of it. Made the decision easier but harder watching this and you picking the Maxwell lol, don't know how to explain it

for great immersive on Maxwell, you need to use Atmos with movie mode. Then you are gucci with accuracy ;)

I heard maxwell not goon in games, like in music is good but some ppl blame it for games and also is wired maxwell better than wireless? And what about asmr?

I’ve had the headset for 3 days. And only get a headache. No matter what you turn off and put down. It’s RUSHing all the damn time. It stays the same loud all the time. Unless you also adjust to hear your voice. Then the noise is 4 times as loud. Does anyone have a solution. How can this be fixed? Even if the dock has no power. The headset is noisy.

I had both along with the Nova Pro Wireless and only kept the A50X. After tuning they were the best overall for comfort, sound and microphone quality to me. I did put the Wicked Cushions Freeze on mine though so that may have helped. Sad though that the Astro name has mostly been removed from the headset now that Logitech acquired them. I only see the Astro name in one place on the box and absolutely nowhere on the headset or base station.

I really can't decide between the maxwells or A50x. I like everything more about the a50x but I keep hearing the audio is far superior on the maxwells. Is the jump really that big or is it just a 10/20% increase, what about when EQ adjusted? I don't know if it's worth giving up simulatenous audio, better mic, better comfort. Thoughts? I'll be using them for FPS and more casual games and probably just youtube videos, no music.

I'm undecided if take maxwell or logitech lol......now i have steelseries artic nova pro wireless...they are great but i'm searching something if possibile with simultaneus bluetooth....'cause while i play with pc......i also watch tv with digital terrestrial in one monitor of my pc with bluetooth, sometimes i have to use the phone for to call ....and i have to connect them .......maxwell or logitech have this function?

I’ve owned 3 pairs of Astros. Not a huge fan of the sound signature. Maxwells are better for sure.

Great review. I would add that the Maxwell has a present in the software that could help with footsteps. For me you can't beat the sound quality/ versatility of the Maxwell's.

Nice review. I'm leaning more towards the Astro A50X, mainly because of the exceptional mic sound quality, and the fact that it's better for competitive gaming. The main things I don't like about it are the docking station (as I only do competitive gaming on my Xbox) and the price. If they made it platform specific like Turtle Beach and others do, got rid of the docking station and charged £100 less, then I'd be all in. A few other reviewers have mentioned this as well including The Techne.

Great review! I have just ordered both headsets and I can't wait to try them out!

i have the astro a50 gen 4 they are being a pain lately maybe cuz they are a couple years old. i want to upgrade. the thing about the x i like is that its pc ps5 and xbox and even bluetooth.

Astro a50x vs turtles beach stealth pro ? For gaming ?

Liked the review mate I’ve just ordered the maxwells get them tomorrow. I play a game called dead by daylight going to see if they’re a massive upgrade from my articus 7p if not I’ll send them back. I’ve hear great things about the music quality if it’s as good as they say I’ll probably just keep them as they can do everything. I’ve ordered Hifiman Sundaras as well not for Gamming just for music got them for £150 off Amazon brand new . Also one thing to note if you buy the Xbox version that can be used on ps5 just put the usb into PC mode . So I would pay the extra £30 .

I heard if you got the Xbox version it works on every platform ps5,pc, Xbox but he’s saying it doesn’t work on all platforms

As someone who owns both I can confidently confirm the Maxwell excels well beyond the Astro A50s in almost every department.

I just got the a50x last night. Coming from the steel series arctis nova pros. I will say the Astro sounds better than them. I would definitely say the a50x seems low. It’s about 60 percent of the nova pros full volume. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong but they are not loud to me. I want to give them a chance because they are clean and matches my all white pc setup. But I may take a look into the Maxwell’s. I have the stealth pros coming in Monday. I may just cancel now before they get here. But is there something I have to do to get these things louder?

I have both, But i prefer the Astro. The Maxwell is great, but the weight along with occasional popping noise keep them from being a daily headset for me. Not issues on the Astro for me, Other than the headset not always clicking into the dock properly to charge, Have to fiddle around a bit to get it to charge. There is no competition when it comes to sound quality, The Maxwell are in a league of their own around that price point, But comfort is just as important as sound quality.

I want a50s without a mic will be awesome af!

Just bought the Audeze… Best on gaming…

Fuck, excelent review

Hello, i apreciate your video and rlly like the way u transmit it! I would like to know your opinion about this product coming for other countries in South America like Brazil, could u gime u opinion?

One thing you should know, you probably lose out on FPS because the PS Maxwells don't have Dolby Atmos which the Astros come with

Would you recommend these over the Sony h9 inzone

525 grams is a little over 1 pound. It doesn;t sound too heavy

Just put the slider up and click save

I have the a50x right here, right now. And the sound is super mediocre. I have not tried the Maxwell, but I have a pair of beyerdynamic dt770 pro as my daily driver and the a50x doesn't even come close to these. SO I can't possibly imagine a basic gaming headset like the a50x getting close to maxwell either. The mic on the a50x is AMAZING though, but the sound... super mediocre and typical bad gaming headset sound.

my a50x dead last night , i just brought it 1 months lol i have to black list all logitech items, my tkl 913 keyboard and g pro x mouse dead around 1.5 year lol

Maxwells crush the A50s for me

Astros are not good for hearing footsteps at all. There are many options better for imaging.

Nice vid! Once again, maxwell win outside of competitive games. It's sooo annoying that every so told "Gaming" headset are actually "competitives games" headphone. I wish brand one day will be more clear about their product and remember their is people playing competitive game only once in a week or month.

You need to compair a50 to steelseries nova pro or some high end gaming headsets not some music company's dual headsets😂

Damn the Astro mic is clear asf compared to the Maxwell.

A psfree

I disagree with you, have both the Astros and the Maxwells. Think you have the wrong highs and lows dailed in. The Maxwells outperform the Astros by miles. Think you got sponsored there M8..😂😂😂😂

For me the sound stage and imaging on the astros were wayy better. And the way you can eq the astros is better than maxwells
