Awesome comparison, new sub here :) I'm currently using the Corsair Virtuoso ( The regular one, not the Pro or XT ) on my PS5. Would the Pulse Elites be a decent replacement?

One thing I noticed on the Maxwell is that its deep base is awesome. It doesn’t have punchy of a dynamic driver , but the rumbling is awesome. GT7 and Helldivers 2 with the Maxwell is crazy good. Edit: You can use the Maxwell without the mic extension

I've tried both. Some things almost nobody mentions about the Elite: 1. It has very little clamping force and a loose headband, meaning that it moves a lot on smaller heads. It always feels like sliding off, even if it doesn't. 2. The joints between the ear cups and the headband are _loud_. You'll hear knocking sounds when swiveling your head. It's annoying and flimsy. 3. The blue LED can't be turned off and is very bright. Due to it's position and how the headset is shaped, it pierces the peripheral vision of your right eye especially in the dark and you have to move the headset back every now and then to avoid it. 4. Again, because of how the Elite is shaped, you can't rest the back of your head against anything, as the plastic arms will collide with it. This should be brought up and held against the Elites in an honest review. Great sound, great looks, but leaves a lot to be desired ergonomically.

Great video as always Techne! I just wanted to say that the bass on the Maxwells are very sensitive to glasses. I wear glasses and as a previous owner of the Penrose I was very disappointed when I received my Maxwells and I was testing them. I tested lots of bass heavy songs and the bass was really lacking the physicality that the Penrose had. Then during my testing I had to clean my glasses, so I took them off and WOW! Once the glasses were off I felt the bass so hard I thought my teeth were going to fall out. Keep in mind I use Apple Music with the “hiphop” EQ as I find it good for hiphop and heavy metal. I also had tweaked with the EQ in the Audeze app. I will say that the Wicked Cushions took away the bass a tiny bit, but it’s still amazing. The bass booms without ruining the highs or mids. Amazing headphones 10/10 tbh.

@@Tadrax Interesting. The XM3s and Maxwell are in 2 completely different categories. The XM3s are travel headphones (walking outside, airplanes, working out, sitting in a Cafe, etc). The Maxwells are really a at home headset. I personally, wouldn't bring it outside of the house. If you're thinking of doing the things you mentioned at home with the Maxwell, that makes sense, but if you used the XM3s outside of the house and plan on dropping the Maxwells into that role, then I would reconsider. The Maxwells aren't comfortable for long term use like the XM3s are. Also, planar magnetic drivers are VERY fragile and will not withstand the pounding you can put dynamic drivers through (mostly as it relates to travel). The Stax SPIRIT S3 is a more mobile planar headphone and a better comparison to the XM3s.

I’m getting the Elite next week when it’s released. Already a lot of you have praised the sound quality on the Sony Pulse Elite, which isn’t surprising, but also highly praised the imaging on the Sony Pulse Elite and apparently it’s insanely good, which is surprising as planar magnetic drivers are known for being prone to driver mismatch and even high end headphones that cost thousands don’t even have the best imaging I’ve tried and tested the Audeze Maxwell and while of course it has amazing sound quality, it really falls short on imaging when compared to even headsets that cost half its price So I think choosing between the Sony Pulse Elite and Audeze Maxwell shouldn’t be hard at all. If you want that sub base below 30Hz get the Maxwell, but if you’re an FPS gamer, which means you don’t need that sub base below 30Hz and need exceptional imaging, get the Sony Pulse Elite

@@Jayjayxxx007 As Joe explained it’s a clean bass, not rumbling bass, but I’m ok with that and yes the imaging is what I want it for and as these use the planar magnetic drivers, it has that great sound quality anyway and having great imaging is a bonus, because normally planar magnetic drivers don’t have good imaging capability, unless you spend thousands on a high end planar magnetic headphone and even then, they’re not the best at imaging. Somehow Sony has managed to get these to image at high level as per Joe and I trust his word, he has never failed to provide accurate information

Great comparison video with the Audeze; stop reading my mind! 🤬🤣 Btw, another reviewer said that he confirmed with Sony that the earcups on the Pulse Elite are glued on, and not replaceable. Given that, don't see how Wicked Cushions could make replacement earcups for it. That also creates cause for concern regarding the long-term durability of the earcups. 🤔 Techne, I'm hoping that you or any of your followers can answer any of my other questions regarding the Pulse Elite: 1) What size are the drivers? 2) Does the wireless dongle work with wifi or Bluetooth, as with the Maxwell? 3) Can the Pulse Elite be used while charging? 4) How good is it for listening to music? 5) What Bluetooth codec(s) does the Pulse Elite support?

I have both, because my Maxwell's broke (metal headband came off on one side), thus I got the Pulse Elite as a temp replacement and backup, whilst my Maxwells are sent back to the single supplier in my country, for repair or replacement, which can take weeks. The weight of the Maxwells don't bother me. I feel the ear cuffs are bigger on the Maxwells, making them more comfortable for all day use, I've had one ear feel squashed inside the Elite, on one side, needing constant adjustment when it happens. The flimsy plastic feel of the Elite makes me worried they'll break in everyday use, I'm so very careful with them, as I am with the Maxwells. Sounds wise, watching videos, Spotify, and single player story gaming, they are both so similar as to not make much difference, however I noticed some of the more subtle sounds, such as footsteps on dirt or gravel, better with the Maxwell set. One thing I will miss when the Maxwell set come back is the simultaneous Bluetooth, so I can take calls mid game without removing my headset.

Are the elites better at imagining than Maxwell / stealth pro / nova pro ? A showdown in competitive games is needed :) I personally don’t think Maxwell are good at fps and if elites are the same then…

@digitalspecter 4 ай бұрын

I know these are not in the same category but if you want incredible headphones for fps games check out AKG K712 pro's. I use them either wired or with a bluetooth DAC and they're just insane with imaging (I also love the soundstage).

I weighed the standard Maxwell pads and the Wicked Cushions. The pleather pads from Audeze come in at 20.4 grams each (40.8 grams for the pair), whereas the Wicked Cushions weighed in at 50.7 grams each (101.4 grams for the pair) It’s a pretty noticeable difference to me.

The only Nova headset that sounds amazing if EQd, is the pro wireless. But between these two then it's clearly the Pulse Elite, I got the pulse Explore and those sound ridiculously good, especially for that price. Audeze knocked it out of the part with these two.

The pulse elite seems to have too many issues for it to be a recommendation. When you have competition like the SS Nova 7 for just a touch extra (sometimes the same price when on sale) Seems that features took priority over build and sound with the Pulse

@nazarethproductions7095 4 ай бұрын

Sound on nova 7 is trash, build quality on pulse elite is questionable right now but as far as sound quality, pulse elite takes it all day for the type of drivers they have and option to EQ without any problems

He hit on basically everything except that battery life 80 plus hours battery life with a $300 pair of headset and the detachable boom mic where if you're traveling they just look like regular headphones after you take off the mic and they sound much better for music not that it's made for it but they do the gaming phenomenal and the music pretty good with with the 80 hour battery life not to mention it takes 20 minutes of charging for about 12 hours of life. If you're going to use them for everything and want them to be your everything head set I would go with the Maxwell if you already have another pair of earbuds or headsets that you use for watching movies going to the gym and music then go with the Sony elite..

@@jeffmoen8563 bro in all honesty i love them. They fit perfectly to my head so waering them for hours doesnt even bother me, ive actually had a few times i forgot they were on ( i dont get paid by sony so this is a legit review of my time bro) the sound is crisp but in bass mode if its too liud there is heavy distortion so you gotta find that sweet spot. Uts easily a 350 dollar headset for 150. You should definetly get them. People complain about how easily the hinges in the right and left phones give so easily but i promise you that is not a concern when you are handling them if you treat em like regular headphones sir. I give em an 8 out of 10. Theyre not perfect and the volume can get distorted at max, but they are welth worth more than the asking price

I had the maxwells for one day the weight was unbearable. Also the app doesn’t work properly you can’t eq the headphones whilst playing a game which is useless as you need to see what eq works. They’re very fatiguing . I have steel series articis 7p and think they’re better . However music on the maxwells was superb but far too uncomfortable especially for someone with glasses.

@rasmus7974 4 ай бұрын

Totally agree. I returned my Maxwells because anything >20% sidetone was creating a really distinct buzzing/white noise if no other sound was playing. (And if you used Sidetone without the external mic and took of the headset at an angle, they screamed a really unpleasant high pitched sound. Seemed almost dangerous for your hearing. The Audeze windows app worked the first time. After that I had to unplug/plug the dongle in every time to get a connection with the app. And everyone saying they're comfortable and have no clamp force? It was exhausting after one hour, and the ear pads were like a sauna. And this is not even considering the weight (which I didn't mind). Thx for sharing. I'm considering the Arctis Nova Pro, and your comment seem to verify I'm on the right track.
