For anyone worried or on the fence about the maxwell and it’s size. I have a fairly tall and big head, 7 3/4 hat. They fit me perfect on the middle setting of the strap. I was worried it might be to heavy, I don’t find it any heavier than any other high quality headset. I use WC freeze pads and the headset is insanely comfortable. It doesn’t feel heavy at all when holding it, just well built. I do have a pretty strong linebacker type neck but I can’t imagine it being too much for someone smaller. It honestly doesn’t feel “heavy” to me at all. Remember these weights are in grams so even a bigger number still isn’t heavy. It will feel heavier if you’re used to all plastic headsets but to me it just feels solid and well built. Should fit any head very comfortably and I played for 7 hours straight with no weight or neck issues. Hope this helps

Would be cool if you could make a Hunt: Showdown EQ setting for the Maxwell. Sound in Hunt: Showdown is suuuuper important and can be the deciding factor. Also it has a pretty sophisticated sound engine and headsets should be used in stereo only as recommended by the developers, would be interesesting to see what you think about it ^^

Great video, and thanks for providing those EQ profiles! I was wondering, have you measured the flat EQ frequency response? I'm trying to make minor adjustments to the bass profile but I'm not really sure what the specific EQ for that would be in a custom profile. Basically I need to know how the flat EQ profile (any default Preset 1-4 config) compares to Audeze's Bass profile, and what the actual measurements are. It would also be interesting to see headphone measurements post custom EQ profiles as well.

@loasolidsnakemgs Жыл бұрын
@@maegnificant The reason I'm asking is because his first review couldn't include actual measurements of the headphones with 0db flat profile, since all the profiles seemed to measure/indicate that they were the same as the bass boost. This could have been due to software and firmware related things. Now that the software and firmware have been updated to allow a user to specify a truly flat EQ from the Maxwell's DSP, we can see what these headphones' actual measurements are.

Not sure if it’s just me or not but I find that if I’m critically analysing the sound differences between stock cusions and the wi led cushions, I feel like I am missing some finer details with the wickeds fitted. I played around with a song and with the wickeds the ringing from the snare drum on decay seemed lost, but with stock pads retained some resonance. I also feel that the passive sounds range seems smaller with the wickeds, I really wanted to like them but I definitely noticed a subtle difference between the 2 cushions.

Great review and for sharing your EQ presets. But for some reason my headsets have a perceived low volume. Like if I turn up to 50% it's very low. I can crank em up to 100% and they're not deafening at all. The only way for me to get a boost on volume is using APO config in the preamp setting to + 13 to really hear the quality. When I do that in sound properties in windows i looked at the level meter is maxed out and I know that's not good but that's the only way I can make these headsets sound loud. Is my headset defective or is it because of other software? Oh yeah one more thing I do realize when I put them on after I took my the package when you press on the ear cup. Right side sounds fine nothing. But the left side I can just push it barely and it's like a crinkle if that makes sense. I'm sure it's the pressure of the air because it does it when I push it in and it went goes out. Appreciate any help.

This is helping to boost frequencies that you want to hear for specific games, but it won't ever fully fix imaging performance. It's still a solid headset with all aspects of gaming, but EQ can only push it so far when it comes to pinpoint accuracy. I find that's it's good enough where I don't blame the headset if I lose, but at the same time, a couple others are consistently more precise sounding for pinpoint accuracy.

I had that with my Penrose headset. To my understanding (that can be 100% wrong) it happens when you apply too much air pressure to the driver (?) and it somewhat breaks. To my knowledge no fix for it. I talked with the store I bought it from, and it sounded like it wasn't covered under warranty. So that is when I stopped using my Penrose. Seems like you need to be somewhat delicate with planer magnetic. When putting on the headset, you should never push the earpads into your head. Sorry for maybe the bearer of bad news

No problem. For PC, you'd want to use the headset as a USB-C headset, or just use the wireless adapter. It will work much better than aux, as all of the processing happens within the headset itself. Aux is there for a fall back. If you bought the PS5/PC version of the Maxwell, you can still use it on Xbox, as long as you connect the aux cable to the controller. Whenever it's possible to use the Dongle or USB-A to C cable, use that though. Hopefully that helps!
