Genuinely the review i needed. I’m an older gamer (over 35) and it was like listening to that mate who just knows all the new tech and is balanced. Cheers
Glad I could help out, going to do more reviews like this in future as they feel more natural. 👍🙏
I'm listening to this on a Maxwell headset; it refused to play any audio when you were talking about the A50X headset.
😂
Just bought the Audeze…
Best on gaming…
Wow. Great review! Super in-depth, thank you for not skipping over anything
I appreciate that! 🙏
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.
Exactly. No other headset comes close.
@Ir0n_One yea he talked nonsens in this video as the Maxwells for sure is a unique gaming headset. If he prefer the Astros above the Maxwells then surely he got sponsored as there is no way that the Astros can even come close the Audeze set. I have both sets and I can tell you there is one hell of a sound difference between them.
Such a refreshing review!! Talks about actual uses and footsteps which is what no one else does!! Good vid 👍
So what he said, did you end up getting?
Everyone does. You're high.
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.
You get used to the weight
@@An_Enraged_Pig yeah had mine for a bit now, I never noticed any fatigue, nothing to get used to for me, very comfortable.
yeah i've had it for a year and i love it, plus its my first wireless bluetooth. only time i feel the weight is when playing VR with it, cuz moving my head around more *and* im wearing an entire VR headset on my face. lol yet i can still wear both basically all day no problem.
you'll only truly feel the weight when you're close to passing out/exhausted. :P
Its not that heavy at all
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!
I love the Maxwells, I have kept them, I wish I could keep them both though 😊
Do the wicked cushions make the headset sound like an open back?
@@An_Enraged_Pig I had a set of wicked cushions on my SS Arctis Pro and I didn't really get on with them, I cant comment about Wicked Cushions with these headsets, maybe ile try them with the Maxwells.
Update, I got the defean (I think they are spelled) pads and they more like the stock ear pads. I don’t like my wicked cushion pads
Wc cushions are trash they get to much hype it lowers the sound Quality the sheapskin ones are way better and improve sound Quality plus they are Lighter then wc
for great immersive on Maxwell, you need to use Atmos with movie mode. Then you are gucci with accuracy ;)
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.
That could be the issue, too much information. I definitely hear the footsteps and they are very clear it’s just the positioning is better on the Astros to my ears(the astros aren’t clean and clear like the maxwells though). I’m going to put them up against my wired setup soon to see the difference there. 👍
@@ChickenPopGames its like with eyes... some people see differently well, need glasses or have problem seeying colors correctly. Same goes for the ears. After setting up my EQ on the Maxwells i was able to hear enemy's positions twice as clear, from further away with complete spatial awareness, compared to my beyerdynamic mmx 300 2. gen with soundblasterx 6g. The Max's took my K/D to a completely new level in Escape from Tarkov Arena. I doubt any Headset with drivers smaller than 90mm can compete with the Max's. All the other so called gaming headsets do, is to over-tweak certain frequency ranges, and use software implemented stuff like Scout-Mode and etc... None of them, of a price range up to 400 €, sounds as good as the Maxwell.
Are you using it on ps5 ?
I define Audeze Maxell as audiophile headphone which can use in gaming.
Don’t know about A50 but maxwell is another league from Arctic Nova Pro which many ppl said sound good as A50
So if A50 is not beyond Nova Pro there’s no way it can compare with Maxwell
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.
Great write up, both are so good! I wish I could have kept both! 😢
How would you describe the sound quality from the astros vs Maxwell?
@@An_Enraged_Pig In my experience the Maxwell has a lot cleaner sound all round with a real defined strong bass, the Astros are a clear step down in sound quality but make up for it with directional audio(imaging).
@@An_Enraged_Pig Although the Astro's don't have planar drivers, They still sound great. It's a full sound and still has pretty good imaging with great bass. Although it can get a bit distorted if you try and turn up the bass too much.
The Maxwell on the other hand is just a more balanced sound, Still has great bass that doesn't get distorted no matter how high I turned it, Imaging is decent on them. I think they are better for music and movies, Because it gives you a bit more of an immersive feel.
Uh there shouldn't be a popping sound lol you prob got a defective set
As someone who owns both I can confidently confirm the Maxwell excels well beyond the Astro A50s in almost every department.
I kept the Maxwell and I love it! 😊
What about comfort and imaging? The Astro mic also sounds way better from the recordings I've heard.
I agree i have both and the sound and voice on Maxwell is way better. I can hear footsteps better with maxwell
Maxwell is the King in sound
I’ve owned 3 pairs of Astros. Not a huge fan of the sound signature. Maxwells are better for sure.
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.
I like the flexibility of it too, it really is a great headset, you do have to pay a lot for it though. 😅
I found the maxwells the best for directional audio, guess everyone hears differently, but I found them amazing
A good review for sure. Covered so much, which a lot of other youytubers don't do very well.
I appreciate that! 🙏
Maxwells crush the A50s for me
I don't really play FPS games nor have the need to hear footsteps of my enemies, so Maxwells would be a no brainer I imagine?
@@JakeOver9000 most definitely
@@JakeOver9000Maxwells are better out of the box. A50Xs are far better when tuned to EQ. Detail is crazy on them when I used em
I own Maxwell and A50X, I prefer A50X for non-competitive.
Maxwell sound quality is better than A50X sound quality, but the gap isn’t as big as, say, A50 gen3 -> A50X.
What really swings me to A50X is the comfort, they are 60% of the Maxwell weight and they also have more comfortable earpads (unless you have big ears).
Maxwell hurts my head after a couple hours and the earpads are stiff. Sounds great though.
@@VisForVindetta Yea, nah... it's not. 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.
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.
I agree that they should make an alternative without the Dock, it would definitely sweeten the deal. Really appreciate the comment, let me know if you get it and what your thoughts are. 👍🙏
@@ChickenPopGames I would love to, but the only way I'd buy one is if it's on sale. I can't justify paying for a headset that costs as much as a console! Lets hope they do a simplified model at an affordable price.
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?
The PC display doesn’t run through the base station, you just plug it in via USB. You will be fine running your 240hz monitor and PC with the A50x 😊
@@ChickenPopGames Thanks man. You are golden...
If you can, use DisplayPort out of your PC instead of HDMI.
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
Such a great shout, thanks for watching. I also believe comfort is just as important too, I think I’m lucky as the Maxwells fit my head well. Let us know how you get on as it will be really interesting to know which headset you keep. 👍🙏
Bro has XXXL ears
@@ChickenPopGames i tried the astro a50x and they were good, but these ones actually also didn't really fit my head properly. Even on max extension i felt pressure on top of my head. Soundwise they were also worse than the Maxwell and i always had to go to the station to switch the source or switch on the headset the itself, it didn't work with the remote anymore. And since i'm not always playing with the headset that was another contra point. Overall it's a good headset, but i decided to keep the maxwell's for now and i kind of good used to the fit by now. I also tried the steelseries nova pro wireless again after some time, but the problem was when i played with them on xbox the mic was very quiet every time for some reason even tho it was the xbox version actually. I will wait for black friday to see if there is gonna be some good sale on some headsets, but I'm actually probably just gonna stick to the maxwell's.
idk about the sound on both of them but i have owned a pair of astro a50 older gen i think and they are light and have good sound BUT the flimsy plastic on top broke very easily and they still havent changed the design.
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 ❤
Thanks JonnyB, really appreciate the support 🙏
I’m a top 250 in cod. I really need a good headset for footstep audio because I’m currently on the black shark v2 wired. For footstep audio are either of these better than my current and if so which one?
id say for your purpose the a50x would be better, if you want wireless. If you consider wired at this price point, try consider the mmx 300 pro from beyerdynamic if it fits your head or the new hyper x cloud headset if it has to be cheaper.
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!
You would only be able to pass through the sound via the HDMI so you won’t be able to use chat. I’m gutted as I don’t have the headset anymore. I had to give it back to my brother and he has sent it back to Logitech. 😢
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
Really appreciate the comment, It really depends on your needs, I would have kept the Astros if it wasn’t for the price, I also listen to a lot of music so the maxwells suited me better. If you are an FPS gamer with multiple consoles I’d recommend the Astros, but it you play all sorts then go for Maxwells. They are both great headsets. 🙏👍
@@ChickenPopGames Yeah I think I am about to place an order on the Maxwell. I play quite a few genres of games and listen to a lot of music. All of it really on my PC. Appreciate the help for sure man
I don't hsve the logi. But I do hsve the maxwell. And I play escape from tarkov.
I'm 100% hearing footsteps before my friends and even able to pinpoint their location.
Maxwell also comes with Dolby atmos license which gives the dobly 7.1 surround. Generally a paid service.
I will admit, I've had software issues but they are fixed with with a quick reset. Odd quirk.
As for the mic itself, it's not crystal clear like say a blue yeti. But it's very good.
The ba kground noise canceling works well also. I can watch TH-cam on my phone and the mic not pick it up.
The headset is heavy. No joke. But your head adjusts very very quickly. And it doesn't squeeze your head.
So assuming my issues are a one off, I would buy this headset again.
Great overview, still got mine and happy! 🙏
@@ChickenPopGames agreed. I was even considering buying their 900$ gaming headset.
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?
The base station is plugged directly into the PC, you then can plug HDMI from PS5 to Base Station and then monitor, you can then switch between the PC and PS5, you can also use bluetooth at the same time. I hope this answers it for you?
So it does have to plug into a monitor. Makes it useless to me as I have my pc and Ps5 on different monitors. Cba to change plug from monitor to monitor each time. Arctis Pro it is despite how much I hate Steelseries products 😞Thanks for the reply @@ChickenPopGames
@@Jodor-- ahh, I get you now, you can plug usb for audio to PS5 from the hub. So you would have hub-usb to PS5-usb. That should work 👍
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.
This is a great question but sadly I don’t have the Astros as I’ve had to give them back to my brother. I will definitely include this next time.
People have mentioned online that you have to use the movie apps on the PS or Xbox as the base station doesn’t support eARC. I’d say this seems correct. 👍
Great review! I have just ordered both headsets and I can't wait to try them out!
Honestly, I wish I could have kept both, real jealous. 🙏👍
Once you updated your Maxwell and set up your personal EQ Preset... the A50X will be nomore fun to listen to anymore. Spatial sound is brutal on the Maxwell, after you set up the EQ for your personal needs. It sent my MMX 300 2. Gen & SBX 6G into retirement, easily. I am competitiv shooter player since mids 90's, and can not recommend the Maxwell enough. EDIT: I would go for max possible soundquality, instead of a few more features. The Max's internal DSP is crazy, no station needed, and boy does this Headset get loud in wireless mode... even louder than MMX 300 2. Gen wired & SBX 6G set to high gain. Beware of running the Maxwell via USB connection, then it gets another crazy three times louder... lol.
@Nebujin383 omg you are making me more excited to try the maxwell lol. Also, I have been using the mmx 300 2nd Gen for 4 years now. It would be very interesting to compare them with the maxwell when it's arrive next month
If the review was good you would have bought one clown
Great video I've just purchased the a50x after this review? Do you know a good eq for rainbow six siege on ps5 thanks again
Thank you so much for the support, sadly I don’t sorry as I don’t play that game, you have given me ideas for future videos though. 😃
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.
Great point about the Astro branding, never really thought of that. Glad you like them, I thought they were great. 👍
All I care about is the sound.
Then the Maxwell wins, easily. 90mm Planar Drivers are something else, a completely different world compared to the 40mm drivers of the A50X. The surface on the Maxwell membranes is more than 4x bigger, compared to the A50X. The Max's have a frequency range from 10hz to 50000hz, and you can hear that in the bass... where the A50X is limited to 20hz to 20000hz. You wont get this level of audio quality, resolution or hear such a deep bass on the A50X, ever. Plus the Maxwell supports 24 bit/96 kHz in wireless mode, where the A50X is limited to 24 bit/48 kHz. The Maxwell also features Sony's Bluetooth LDAC Codec!
@@Nebujin383 i’m going to have to look them up thank you.
Humans can only generally hear from 20-20000hz just sayin
maxwell has a better sound quality than the astros ...
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.
Hi,
I will try to contact Logitech support for you and see what they say and report back, I’m thinking it’s a faulty unit.
So is it always the same volume regardless of adjusting volume?
Maxwell are way better
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?
Hi, I think it’s great for games and music, I’ve not really used them wired to be honest.
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.
El software de audaze ya se reparo o siguen igual ?
I still have the software issue, with time and patience though you can keep playing with it to get it to work. 👍
How long you had the maxwells for? Just got them, love them but a bit worried people saying the headband breaks and the drivers stop working. Anyone had any issues or had them for over a year with no issues?
No issues so far and had them since making this video, although I actually use my PS5 Pulse Elites more as they are lighter, Maxwells are still better though. Great headset 👍
They Just nasty People I got 5 years waranty on mine
Its leather leather needs to get cared for jus like a leather couch and leather coat
I wish the a50 had a input switch button on the base
Do you keep 3d audio on when using maxwells? Im really on the fence with these 2
TBH I mainly used the app with both of these, I’m away at the moment but as soon I get back in next few days I will give you my thoughts on 3d audio with the Maxwells.
Great shout by the way and thanks for watching. 🙏
So I went into PS5 and the option for PS5 3D Audio is available and works on Maxwells although you cannot use the PS5 equaliser like the PULSE 3D can we just need to rely on the phone app for equalisation.
I may do a short soon which will compare on/off.
Hope this helps. 🙏
@@ChickenPopGamesyou can set four presets that are save in the headset so its does work on ps5
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.
How does the maxwells do with netflix had the old a50s and liked them so i am on the fence, also if i get the xbox version will it work on my ps5 aswell thanks.
Yes it will
so the Astro base is like
a built in KVM switch?
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 .
The Maxwell is incredible, I love mine and have kept it, in fact I don’t use my wired setup anymore which cost a little more 😅
That’s really cool’s about using the XBOX version for all, thanks for the info. 🙏
@@ChickenPopGames have you tried the maxwell wired vs Bluetooth to see if there’s a significant sound difference?
@@paulgalTBH, I chaven’t, I will definitely give it a go this weekend 👍

Thanks for the review! For an 18-minute video, timestamps would be helpful.
Thanks for watching, I just checked, it did used to have timestamps but for some reason they have gone. Ile sort it out, really appreciate the feedback. 🙏
ordered both a50s and maxwells same time and the a50s went back and it wasnt even close for me. I play a lot of tarkov.
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?
Are they worth it astros a50x? like i want to buy one of them audeze or astros but im afraid of audeze because heard a lot of qc issues so i was leaning too astros.
@@jasminahmetovic140 I just got mine last night and seems a bit low. I have to play with the eq tonight with I get off from work. I got off at 10 last night and had to unbox and set it up. Tonight I’m actually going to go into them(no Diddy) a little more in depth. I’ll give you my opinion tomorrow. I didn’t try the Maxwell yet but I did have the mobius. And they are the best sounding gaming headphones (because the sennheiser hd800s are the true best headphones) I have ever heard. They just was so glitchy and the immersion wasn’t as accurate.
@@1youngkash Alright bro, Thank you as well responding to me i appreciate it by the way on the app u can download other peoples presets and try them out if u didn't know that. Hope astros are good if not i just buy the audeze even with qc issues who cares.

This would be a brilliant idea, even if we could just remove it that would be a plus.
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.
Thanks for watching, really appreciate your feedback.
Kinda really hate how Audeze basically says “Use this case at your own risk, not our problem we didnt provide a single way to protect the product we’ve sold you”
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
It works on all platforms the ps version even does work on all platforms but with ps version you need the 3.5 cable when used on xbox. Thats why xbox version is more expensive cuZ you pay for the license
Astro a50x vs turtles beach stealth pro ? For gaming ?
I really want to do this but these headsets cost a lot of money, I will reach out to some companies and try to get the Stealth pro. Thanks for your comment. 🙏
Would you recommend these over the Sony h9 inzone
I’ve not tried the Inzone sadly so can’t comment.
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?
Hi and thanks for your king message. Which headset are you interested in most? I will try to find out for you. 👍
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.
Yeah me to i dont know what to buy, but i heard audeze maxwell have a lot of qc issues but i dont know. Tell me which one did u pick and say your thoughts
Hey, sorry for the late reply, I actually did some more research and ended up with the hd490 pros for a decent price. I already have an external mic and while I'll miss the features on the A50x, I've been loving these. Check out Fresh Reviews vid on it if you're interested. I can't say for sure, but I think it has the best audio and comfort of the 3, but the least features. It's also completely open back
@@MrHamdy Do u need a dac too for like a ps5?

Fuck, excelent review
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..😂😂😂😂
It’s great to hear your thoughts, this video wasn’t sponsored and to be honest the review was not negative about either headsets. Sound is so subjective so sadly not everyone will have the same opinion. Thanks for watching 🙏
Just put the slider up and click save
A50 would lokk better with some cat ears on it, it just look like a E-girl headset. Kind a child ish headset
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
Maxwell have dolby atmos 😁
You also get Dolby Atmos for free when you buy Audeze Maxwell. The frequenze are better on Audeze as well with 10-50 000 hz while Astro got 20-20 000 hz.
Not True they have dolby atmos but on ps5 it uses tempest
Astros are not good for hearing footsteps at all. There are many options better for imaging.
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
That is a real shame, have you managed to get a replacement? Did you like it when it worked?
@@ChickenPopGames not yet, it is great for movie and gaming ,the ear cup is too small for me ,i read some post in reddit, there are many case just like me , the base station dead suddenly, so i dont recommand buy it
Then yu Just stupid I have logitech in house and after more then 10 years still works great and sounds brand new
This is like comparing a Casio with a Rolex because they both tell the time, absolutely pointless ...
Its funny cause in this instance the casio would be more expensive
Damn the Astro mic is clear asf compared to the Maxwell.
It’s one of the best I’ve ever heard.
But the maxwell are way better in sound Quality
Audeze are way superior
Astro customer service is the worst in the industry
A psfree
You need to compair a50 to steelseries nova pro or some high end gaming headsets not some music company's dual headsets😂
Nova pro is the biggest premium trash returned mine after 5 days now have the maxwell and boy they are great for movies music games everything better frequentie better settings and sonar can be used on them to nova pro is trash even the pulse Elites sound way better
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
i agree. i have both and for gaming i definitely prefer the astros but for music listening i like the maxwells better
Very good way of saying it, this is how I felt. There is no denying it, Maxwell has sound quality but Astro has better imaging (footstep placement) and features/app. Thanks for watching.
😂😂😂🤡You looked at frequentie that they can make 🤡 maxwell is way better
People are sometime stupid you can adjust the maxwell way better and you can use any software with them not only audeze but sonar and other programs work Just fine maxwell is the King
