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
Thank you, it's always important to hear from my colleagues in the Big Head Club. Most people don't know the (literal) pain we go through trying to find a headset!
hello , I'm on the fence to buy this headset because it doesn't have active noise cancellation and the weight !but I'm intrigued by it ! it has all -the things I want . my problem with over-ear headsets are the strap on top of it that gives me pressure on my head ! in my country it is 430€ (for xbox) this is the first I hear about this brand and want quality
I really wanted to love the wicked cushions on my Maxwells, but all honesty the original cushions that come on the headphones are better, yes, they get a little warm overtime but it’s definitely worth it, everything is so much more immersive and full compared to the wicked missions, but if you’re willing to sacrifice quality for comfort, then I completely understand
I really love this channel man, been watching your videos for a few months now and you always do an amazing job. Keep it up! Also, would love to see some of your custom EQ for music/singleplayer/etc
@GadgetryTech Thanks for the 15% off. Just ordered my pair of WC. My Maxwell X is also on its way, so I'm super excited to pair the two together. Appreciate your advice and expertise.
I ended up having to change the pads to WC because the stock pads are too shallow, my ears touched the drivers making them hurt after some time. Thanks for the video!
Ordered some as soon as the email hit my inbox saying they were here 🤙 I live in a warm climate and sweat easy.. never hurts to have something cooler..
Excellent video, with the planned video on presets will you be letting us know your in-game settings and system (xbox, ps or pc(dolby atmos)) settings?
Picking up my Maxwell headset tomorrow! I've been really tossed on which headset to buy and after watching your review of it plus now seeing a follow up with custom EQ I decided to just go ahead and pick one up. Luckily there is one in stock locally so I dont have to wait for retailers to restock them. Probably going to take advantage of your discount codes and get a set of Wicked cushions right away as I loved my wicked cushions on my last headset
The sound change with different pads is interesting, I had the nova 7x with different pads, but thicker. And it sounded actually better, not as muffled. Nice to see how WC worked it out =) sad to see issues already coming up with the Maxwell. Guess i stick with my Stealth Pro, can't wait for the new pads! Thanks for the in depth review & explaining it the way it should be explained🔥🔥🔥🔥Much love Joe!
I'm gonna buy these (headphones and cushions) because of your videos. I have a steelseries pro wireless, and I'm thinking about giving them to one of the kids. Wicked headset, but these headphones you swear by, and I really like what I hear from your input on them.
I'm used to medieval steel helmets, so I don't think the weight will matter to me. Ordered the Maxwell today, and will probably get the WC if I like the Maxwell.
Thank you so much for the 15% code, I've just ordered it from Amazon Canada and that also save me the import fees to Canada (another 15%)🤘 That's a great deal !!!!!!
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 ^^
Game doesnt matter good set of cans are good in every game. İf you need to hear footsteps reloads and stuff a generic V shape game EQ will be enough. You dont need a 300 USD gaming cans for it either. Competetive edge sound is the opposite of GOOD sound.
They are good.. I had them for the nova7 and dang they felt great even after 5 hours.. nothing is perfect and will stay cool, you need to find something that still feels good while warm and these felt great! 100 percent recommended..
I wish WC would make velour/leather combos. I tried the freeze pads on the Penrose and they're only cool for the first 20 minutes and after an hour they're hotter. Velour for me doesn't hold cold or heat much, so they're great for long term use.
The whole cooling, throw them in the refrigerator marketing is kind of goofy to be honest. Wicked cushions are simply more comfortable and thicker where it counts and for me I like the cloth much better then leatherette. Much thanks for updated EQs.
Honestly while it's just a footnote and more of a novelty. The freeze pads are kind of fun to pop into the fridge real quick. It is a nice sensation especially after a longer session. That said it really only works with magnetic earcup systems. And I'm still on the fence about it but having two so one is always cooling off sounds appealing.
dude thank you so much for all of this information... I recently pre-ordered the Maxwell's ultraviolet edition.. getting ready for starfield LOL. and also have a pair of the '90s ear cushions and headband coming... one of my biggest things is getting the EQ right.. so I have a few questions or could you possibly make a video.. I'm looking for the best immersive sound when it comes to single player games only. starfield, horror games etc. I know there's a EQ app on Windows to download the updates and do that as well.. but also on Xbox there's quite a few different settings different sound apps and they also have their own EQ setting. could you possibly recommend or a how-to video on getting the best sound??? and how do I start this whole process? again buddy thank you so much for your hard work great channel.
Thank you for everything you do. I recently discovered your channel and your reviews are amazing. The quality is unmatched. I wish you all the best and may your channel continue to grow!
Thanks for the code and thoughts about the cushions! Just ordered mine, can’t wait! Hope you will release you’re recommendation for custom EQ for action and RPG games for us who don’t play competetive 😅
How coincidental. After 3 months of annoying them Audeze finally sent my warranty replacement out yesterday as well. Still will never buy from them again. But I'll try to handle the replacement with Mickey mouse gloves and see how long it lasts.
I always come back to your reviews to get tips and tricks, comparisons and so on. You do amazing work and you present it in a very educational manner. Credit where credit is due!
@gadgetrytech Warzone EQ works phenomenally after the update. Took no chances and used a pc to update lol. Still waiting to test the mic filtering, as I have very loud Brazilian stepkids lol
You mention not using a dac/amp for this headset but when i plug my 3.5 cable into my ps5 controller i notice a volume difference .. the volume gets lowered when i plug into my ps5 controller, is that normal?
Apparently Audeze is still struggling to meet the demand for this headset. I placed my order a little over a week ago and at that time, they appeared as though they were in stock and the site said they expect to ship in 3-5 days. A few days after placing the order, I received an email essentially saying “we apologize for the delay but your order should be shipping in August.” I don’t really mind waiting a few weeks but it’s a bit of a bummer when you get all hyped about something only to find out that it’s going to take significantly longer than expected.
Hi GT - I can't seem to find any EQ for general gaming? Did you ever do one in a review? Did you make one after the app was released. Looking for a one time set and forget 🙂 Many Thanks.
Amazing video, thanks for the frequency response graph. It seems like WC should bring more warmth to the sound. Definitely need to try those despite the weight.
Mine arrived today, unfortunately had a scratch on the metal headband, they'll send more when available. I'd take a discount as it's not horrendous. Might buy these pads because I get really hot with the stock ones. I also need to update them but don't have a pc.
Hi GadgetryTech! I really love your EQ presets for games. It would be amazing if you could update presets for CSGO because CS2 is released now and CSGO is not playable anymore, CS2 is a completely different game engine and sound system so CSGO presets are pretty much useless right now. Thank you very much!
Thanks for this video! I'm hoping to get a wireless headset for mainly FPS gaming, I need side tone and would love chatmix. I'm considering Audeze Maxwell's or the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. I won't spend a lot of time listening to music or watching movies so purely gaming, would you say the steelseries would be better for my use case? Thanks!
I have maxwell, stealh pro and artic nova ! the maxwell is just on an other level in terms of everything not only music ! the emmersivity of the sound is just amazing ! no doubt it s the best gaming headset of this year ! and the most versatile one !
Finally got my Xbox version, very happy with them and they are now my dedicated media headset alongside my Beoplay Portals. Looking forward to upgrading to the freeze pads, thanks man :)
I really enjoy your channel and recently purchased the Maxwell's. I liked the competitive setting for COD, but your EQ seems even better! I hear footsteps very well with it. How much different is it to the competitive setting eq wise?
You really are the headset GOAT. Thank you! Are you noticing any wear and tear on the Maxwell's so far? Getting worried about the posts I'm seeing about headband stress with the Maxwells.
So far no but I can't use them for 5+ hours a day like some other people do just do the amount of headsets, IEMs, and headphones I use. So my wear and tear is a slower rate and not fully accurate. I'll know down the road though!
And of course neither Amazon UK nor Amazon DE ship the pads to my country. Your review of the headset helped to solidify my decision to purchase it, just fyi ;)
I love the look of these, but the added thickness and the firmer foam density made the Maxwell uncomfortable for me with glasses. I had to return mine and go back to the stock. Just something to consider.
Yeah it's a hit an miss thing, as we process the audio differently in our heads. There are so many variables at stake. I'm glad you found something you liked!
just curious as a few months ago you mentioned you’ll do a new maxwell video once you’re able to EQ it, how would you rate the imaging now after tuning?
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.
So, now, with custom eq's, new pads, all the firmware updates, how's it stack up against The VZR Model One, the Steel series, or even the a-spire? Specifically as it pertains to footsteps and fps usage.
Thank you so so much for the EQ. Has anyone experienced the crinkle noise with these and if so is there fix? I love headset but it also drives me crazy at the same time. If I slightly move my head it sounds like someone crinkling a wrapper in my ear.
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
Hello, I'm considering buying these for my first gaming headset. Is the dongle necessary for better SQ on my PS5? Just gathering some info and great vid 👍
When we’re doing custom Eq through the squiglink method in your other video should I use sonar, atmos and the Audeze engine at once or…? What settings should I be using?
Are these headphones really good at story games, or are they just footstep blasters? I have the h6pro and love the sound, but I want to have sidetone and chat mixing and im struggling with finding a dac amp or usb interface that will allow the h6pro to do that with ease and not cost as much as the h6pro cost me. I got the gsx1000 but I'm not enjoying it much and returning it.
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.
Hi man excellent work. Would you recommend these over the pro wireless dac or nova pro for driving simulation like iracing or asseto corsa . Do you make presets for these titles ? I own the pro wireless dac and using the forza preset . Thanks in advance
Hey, just to be sure. Does the default preset need to be tweaked too with the bands you've mentioned or only for those who actually made custom EQ's? I am getting these tomorrow and i know for a fact I want WC cushions, was curious if the famous balanced sound will be preserved or tweaked still with WC. Also do you still use the Immersive preset or switched back to the default to compensate for the raised bass?
Looking forward to seeing how these headphones sound compared to my current Sennheiser 598SR headphones which are like 6 years old at this point. I have been wanting wireless but waiting for the tech to be enough that its atleast slightly better sounding than what I have and it sounds like these might be it. I ordered a while ago but sounds like sometimes this month they are shipping not sure when this month though they didn't say.
I went from ae5 powered hd650s, custom eqs.. to maxwells for gaming. When it comes to music I prefer my 650s but there’s some detail and accents that come from the maxwells that are still enjoyable for music. It’s a different enjoyment. I love both. They’re certainly worth the investment
@@Bznunyabizness are maxwells for story games or are these footstep chasers? Idk why so many people just want to hear the loudest footsteps blasting in thier ears and nothing else.. I have the h6pro and love them, but I want sidetone chat mixing that is easy to use..
@@Ryan-re1rs This has the game/chat mixing built into the headset. theres both software, and the slider on the side of the left earcup. I wouldnt say these are peak headsets for footsteps. with certain eqs they can be. but the beauty of these headsets is how tuned they are, and how well they can reproduce multiple sounds that the user can differentiate at the same time. if that makes sense. it provides a fuller experience that alot of headsets drown out
Will you publish presets for Equalizer APO? I prefer that software, as it boots up at the launch of windows without having to be opened. Im guessing, by using their Hq app, the Eq will be saved on the headset which is really good. But is there a reason for wanting to switch Eq's constantly on a per game bases instead of finding a middle ground for all? Ty & Your the reason I am buying a maxwell today and WC
@@iLGuRG awesome! I actually went ahead and ordered a pair and I’m expecting them to come in this week I’m pretty excited after all the good things I’ve heard about them
@@masoneldridge7604 You did very well! I play with glasses and mainly on PS5 and occasionally on Xbox and Switch, only Single Player games and no competitive FPS and I can confirm that in terms of audio they are the best. The biggest problem with the Maxwells, as far as I'm concerned, is the strange management of Bluetooth for Smartphones. If you are connected via Dongle it only transmits the audio of phone calls but strangely it allows you to record (not listen to) audio messages. No other sounds will come from your smartphone, at least if you have an iPhone like me. And this is a huge flaw in my opinion. If you like, I'll write you my experiences with other wireless headphones that I bought and tried in recent days together with the Maxwell ones, all updated to the latest firmware available. Turtle Beach Stealth Pro - Xbox: these are the ones that I personally found to be closest to the audio of the Maxwells but inexplicably have the maximum volume too low. However, to date they remain the most complete that I have tried in managing all sounds and peripherals simultaneously even without a PC, better microphone than the Maxwell (with or without attached headband), but they are very tight on the ears, even with WC FreeZe cushions. However, they remain my favorites right after the Maxwells. Indeed... if it weren't for the pure sound, which I consider the most important thing of all, I would have kept these. SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless - Xbox: too much treble, too little bass and if you raise the latter too much they distort the sound. Overall disappointing audio (the most '80s style radio of all). Mediocre microphone and terrible equalization management: every time I turn off the PS the personalized preset resets, all the others always remain but what I did I always lost. The possibility of being able to connect the 2 consoles to their DAC together is nice, but personally I found them extremely overrated. Always considering that I don't play on PC, so I can't bring with me almost all the customization possibilities that the GG program offers. They have the fact that they are the most comfortable of the 3 and the lightest. P.S.: I then also tried the Razer Kraken V3 Pro Wireless which, regarding the lack of bass of the SteelSeries, I consider them even better in terms of audio, but it is obvious that overall they are inferior. The vibration functionality is very interesting and could become a "Must Have" once you get used to it. Very comfortable and soft, shame about the complete lack of Bluetooth. If I had to choose a gaming headset and had to spend less than the others mentioned above, I would recommend these, perhaps buying them used on Amazon so that they still cost less than the Pulse Elite when new. I hope I have given you a pleasure in expressing these opinions of mine. I just finished doing a little testing and was eager to tell someone about it! ^^

Joe, as always your videos are the best! One question, have you changed the fit of the headband with the new earpads? And finally, there is an option to save the custom eqs in Android, after updating they are reloaded and it works perfectly. Greetings!
Any chance you would be interested in making an EQ preset for Battlefield 2042? Quite popular game in the recent weeks so I think there would be interest for it
Hey - just wanted to say I would really love to see some presets for some immersive single player games! I purchased the Wicked Cushions with your link from Amazon as a thank you - appreciate your videos very much! 😎
I just love the Immersive Preset so much for single player games, that I haven't looked into changing it. It's tuned exceptionally well out of the box!
@@GadgetryTechis the maxwell terrible when it comes to imaging? I usually play fps on ps4 with my arctis 1 wireless and was thinking about getting the maxwell. The imaging on the arctis 1 wireless is actually pretty good so I wanted to know if the Maxwell was not worth getting since I run fps
Just a question: but what is the purpose of the AUX jack in the Maxwells then? I am a bit thoughtful about buying them, I would have wanted to connect them to the PC with the 3.5mm jack (I think the motherboard acts as a DAC/amplifier in this case?). I didn't understand if I risk damaging them this way or not :c
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!
Thanks for this! Question, if I use Sonar for EQ, do I disable that entirely and focus on Audeze's eq software instead? I just really appreciate Sonars game capture component so I'd hate to let that go.
I’m super late to this party but out of curiosity if I’m using the immersive preset with the stock pads should I swap back to the Audeze preset with the WC pads because they lift bass a little bit?

would love to buy it from Singapore. ( i dont think you ship it over yet? )
Audeze x aydan already comes with wicked cushions pads they aren't gel ones though so best pf both worlds not heavy but they look deeper than og.
I saw on Reddit that you bought a second Maxwell. Did you note any difference or inconsistencies between the two headsets?

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 ^^
Game doesnt matter good set of cans are good in every game. İf you need to hear footsteps reloads and stuff a generic V shape game EQ will be enough. You dont need a 300 USD gaming cans for it either. Competetive edge sound is the opposite of GOOD sound.
I think it would be really cool to see thermal temps after say 15m, 30m, 1hr, 2hr type thing but really well done review overall love your work.
They are good.. I had them for the nova7 and dang they felt great even after 5 hours.. nothing is perfect and will stay cool, you need to find something that still feels good while warm and these felt great! 100 percent recommended..
Hi Joe, please recommend eq settings for RPG and adventure games.
I wish WC would make velour/leather combos. I tried the freeze pads on the Penrose and they're only cool for the first 20 minutes and after an hour they're hotter.
Velour for me doesn't hold cold or heat much, so they're great for long term use.
The whole cooling, throw them in the refrigerator marketing is kind of goofy to be honest. Wicked cushions are simply more comfortable and thicker where it counts and for me I like the cloth much better then leatherette. Much thanks for updated EQs.
Honestly while it's just a footnote and more of a novelty. The freeze pads are kind of fun to pop into the fridge real quick. It is a nice sensation especially after a longer session.
That said it really only works with magnetic earcup systems. And I'm still on the fence about it but having two so one is always cooling off sounds appealing.
dude thank you so much for all of this information... I recently pre-ordered the Maxwell's ultraviolet edition.. getting ready for starfield LOL. and also have a pair of the '90s ear cushions and headband coming...
one of my biggest things is getting the EQ right.. so I have a few questions or could you possibly make a video..
I'm looking for the best immersive sound when it comes to single player games only. starfield, horror games etc.
I know there's a EQ app on Windows to download the updates and do that as well.. but also on Xbox there's quite a few different settings different sound apps and they also have their own EQ setting.
could you possibly recommend or a how-to video on getting the best sound??? and how do I start this whole process?
again buddy thank you so much for your hard work great channel.
Fantastic video, thanks a lot for the coverage! Bought my WC Freeze pads with your code right away!
Are you using Dolby Atmos with those EQ?
On PC and Xbox yes. Set Atmos to Game Mode > Performance Mode Off. Do not add on any EQ within Atmos on top of this.
Thank you for everything you do. I recently discovered your channel and your reviews are amazing. The quality is unmatched. I wish you all the best and may your channel continue to grow!
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Exactly the information I needed to know before ordering. Thanks!
That was my goal!
Great EQs !!! Please make an EQ for CS:GO I’ve been struggling and feel dissatisfied. Thanks in advance !
This would be awesome!
I’ve been waiting for this vid. THANK YOU!
bro, you're doing the lords work!! keep it up my friend. i'll be watching!
Thanks for the code and thoughts about the cushions! Just ordered mine, can’t wait! Hope you will release you’re recommendation for custom EQ for action and RPG games for us who don’t play competetive 😅
Honestly I've found the Immersive preset to be so good for Action and RPG games, I haven't really touched any else!
It will be awesome if you could show some EQs for open world games.🙏🙏
I was thinking about it but I love the stock immersive preset so much for open world stuff! I think it comes down to personal preference after that
Can you come out with EQ for music? Rock music preferably
How coincidental. After 3 months of annoying them Audeze finally sent my warranty replacement out yesterday as well. Still will never buy from them again. But I'll try to handle the replacement with Mickey mouse gloves and see how long it lasts.
COD EQ works great for MW2 multi-player as well. My WC'S are coming in in a couple days.. Thanks for the review and great info
Would like to see how you’d eq hunt showdown. Great video 👍🏼
I always come back to your reviews to get tips and tricks, comparisons and so on. You do amazing work and you present it in a very educational manner. Credit where credit is due!
Thx for review, I ordered along with headset. This is definitely a nice headset as far as I can tell.
@gadgetrytech Warzone EQ works phenomenally after the update. Took no chances and used a pc to update lol. Still waiting to test the mic filtering, as I have very loud Brazilian stepkids lol
You mention not using a dac/amp for this headset but when i plug my 3.5 cable into my ps5 controller i notice a volume difference .. the volume gets lowered when i plug into my ps5 controller, is that normal?
Did you turn up the controller volume on your PS5 audio settings at the bottom of the screen? It's often not turned up.
Amazing channel! Have just purchased a pair of the Maxwells…. Coming from the Nova wired so am hoping difference is noticeable.
Would you consider it an upgrade? Thinking of getting a pair myself
@@nathanf1699 I have a pair and couldn’t recommend more highly!!
Apparently Audeze is still struggling to meet the demand for this headset. I placed my order a little over a week ago and at that time, they appeared as though they were in stock and the site said they expect to ship in 3-5 days. A few days after placing the order, I received an email essentially saying “we apologize for the delay but your order should be shipping in August.”
I don’t really mind waiting a few weeks but it’s a bit of a bummer when you get all hyped about something only to find out that it’s going to take significantly longer than expected.
Hi GT - I can't seem to find any EQ for general gaming? Did you ever do one in a review? Did you make one after the app was released. Looking for a one time set and forget 🙂 Many Thanks.
These headphone are a must have i have these for the arctic nova pro ; you have to have these
love the video! Can you please do EQ setting for the Turtle Beach Stealth pro? for Apex, Fortnite and so on, please!
Amazing video, thanks for the frequency response graph. It seems like WC should bring more warmth to the sound. Definitely need to try those despite the weight.
Copped the geo grey color. used your link and code. now just gotta wait for my maxwells to ship soon hopefully lol 😆
Mine arrived today, unfortunately had a scratch on the metal headband, they'll send more when available. I'd take a discount as it's not horrendous. Might buy these pads because I get really hot with the stock ones. I also need to update them but don't have a pc.
I swear I've seen a WC Freeze custom eq for the maxwells in one of your videos but i can't find it anymore now that I got my cushions 😂😂
Do you also have a preset to achieve the Harman curve?
@GadgetryTech 🥰🥰
Hi GadgetryTech! I really love your EQ presets for games. It would be amazing if you could update presets for CSGO because CS2 is released now and CSGO is not playable anymore, CS2 is a completely different game engine and sound system so CSGO presets are pretty much useless right now. Thank you very much!
Thanks for this video! I'm hoping to get a wireless headset for mainly FPS gaming, I need side tone and would love chatmix. I'm considering Audeze Maxwell's or the Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. I won't spend a lot of time listening to music or watching movies so purely gaming, would you say the steelseries would be better for my use case? Thanks!
Thank you for the code. I just saved 15%. ❤❤
Thank you so much for all this great info. Very helpful as always. Take care and all the best.
Awesome! Thanks heaps for your informative videos.
I have maxwell, stealh pro and artic nova ! the maxwell is just on an other level in terms of everything not only music ! the emmersivity of the sound is just amazing ! no doubt it s the best gaming headset of this year ! and the most versatile one !
How come you own all three?
@@pipispipa Bros be curious
@@EclairTwus premium gamers waste our money in search of a god tier headset and we found ours now
Love the eq settings for warzone. Thanks for sharing!
Do you play on ps5?
3d audio on or off?
@@Emty1 I’m actually on pc. I do play with Dolby atmos
@@Thevillain17if all I care about is hearing footsteps directionally should I use and download Dolby?
@@nunyabidness5835 since season 4 release and the change of audio in game once again, I don’t find atmos to be that beneficial now.
Finally got my Xbox version, very happy with them and they are now my dedicated media headset alongside my Beoplay Portals. Looking forward to upgrading to the freeze pads, thanks man :)
I don't trust gel inside, just don't) gonna wait for Dekoni pads. Any idea if they are on the way?
U can change ur eq by double tapping ur volume control slider
I really enjoy your channel and recently purchased the Maxwell's. I liked the competitive setting for COD, but your EQ seems even better! I hear footsteps very well with it. How much different is it to the competitive setting eq wise?
You really are the headset GOAT. Thank you! Are you noticing any wear and tear on the Maxwell's so far? Getting worried about the posts I'm seeing about headband stress with the Maxwells.
So far no but I can't use them for 5+ hours a day like some other people do just do the amount of headsets, IEMs, and headphones I use. So my wear and tear is a slower rate and not fully accurate. I'll know down the road though!
@@GadgetryTech Thanks for the reply!
And of course neither Amazon UK nor Amazon DE ship the pads to my country.
Your review of the headset helped to solidify my decision to purchase it, just fyi ;)
Europe will go in stock on June 10, if you have a local Amazon marketplace, you should try ordering there (not from uk or de)
Same here . From Denmark. They dont ship from Germany to Denmark..just ordered from us. Dont give a f... About the tax. I want the cushions 🎉🙏
@@vahidghiasvand9087 The stock is still not there so it might be why they do not ship it yet
@@WickedCushions Ahh okay. Ill ordered from us. Same for me 🙏 good job. Take care
Need EQ setting for hunt showdown! Best audio for shooters period. Good luck if you try!
I love the look of these, but the added thickness and the firmer foam density made the Maxwell uncomfortable for me with glasses. I had to return mine and go back to the stock. Just something to consider.
Hey GT have tested DTS headphone X with the maxwell.
Sounds better than dolby atmos to my ears . Spacious setting also widens the image a lot
Yeah it's a hit an miss thing, as we process the audio differently in our heads. There are so many variables at stake. I'm glad you found something you liked!
just curious as a few months ago you mentioned you’ll do a new maxwell video once you’re able to EQ it, how would you rate the imaging now after tuning?
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.
@@GadgetryTechI was wondering what audio mix you recommend in the MW2 audio settings to go with this EQ? Thanks
So, now, with custom eq's, new pads, all the firmware updates, how's it stack up against The VZR Model One, the Steel series, or even the a-spire? Specifically as it pertains to footsteps and fps usage.
Thank you so so much for the EQ. Has anyone experienced the crinkle noise with these and if so is there fix? I love headset but it also drives me crazy at the same time. If I slightly move my head it sounds like someone crinkling a wrapper in my ear.
Sidetone turn it off
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
Amazing video. Love the review & channel.
Thank you for the presets❤ Was 3d audio enabled on the ps5 when you did the eq?
Hello, I'm considering buying these for my first gaming headset. Is the dongle necessary for better SQ on my PS5? Just gathering some info and great vid 👍
When we’re doing custom
Eq through the squiglink method in your other video should I use sonar, atmos and the Audeze engine at once or…? What settings should I be using?
Are these headphones really good at story games, or are they just footstep blasters? I have the h6pro and love the sound, but I want to have sidetone and chat mixing and im struggling with finding a dac amp or usb interface that will allow the h6pro to do that with ease and not cost as much as the h6pro cost me. I got the gsx1000 but I'm not enjoying it much and returning it.
I know they are a few years old but I haven’t seen a great review of the Beyerdynamic MMX 300 Gen 2 headset. Would love to get your thoughts on them!
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.
Hi man excellent work. Would you recommend these over the pro wireless dac or nova pro for driving simulation like iracing or asseto corsa . Do you make presets for these titles ? I own the pro wireless dac and using the forza preset . Thanks in advance
Hey, just to be sure. Does the default preset need to be tweaked too with the bands you've mentioned or only for those who actually made custom EQ's? I am getting these tomorrow and i know for a fact I want WC cushions, was curious if the famous balanced sound will be preserved or tweaked still with WC.
Also do you still use the Immersive preset or switched back to the default to compensate for the raised bass?
Looking forward to seeing how these headphones sound compared to my current Sennheiser 598SR headphones which are like 6 years old at this point. I have been wanting wireless but waiting for the tech to be enough that its atleast slightly better sounding than what I have and it sounds like these might be it. I ordered a while ago but sounds like sometimes this month they are shipping not sure when this month though they didn't say.
I went from ae5 powered hd650s, custom eqs.. to maxwells for gaming. When it comes to music I prefer my 650s but there’s some detail and accents that come from the maxwells that are still enjoyable for music. It’s a different enjoyment. I love both. They’re certainly worth the investment
@@Bznunyabizness are maxwells for story games or are these footstep chasers? Idk why so many people just want to hear the loudest footsteps blasting in thier ears and nothing else.. I have the h6pro and love them, but I want sidetone chat mixing that is easy to use..
@@Ryan-re1rs This has the game/chat mixing built into the headset. theres both software, and the slider on the side of the left earcup.
I wouldnt say these are peak headsets for footsteps. with certain eqs they can be. but the beauty of these headsets is how tuned they are, and how well they can reproduce multiple sounds that the user can differentiate at the same time. if that makes sense. it provides a fuller experience that alot of headsets drown out
I have had the maxwells for a while and they are quite a bit better sounding th an the 598sr sennheisers AND they are wireless
Will you publish presets for Equalizer APO? I prefer that software, as it boots up at the launch of windows without having to be opened.
Im guessing, by using their Hq app, the Eq will be saved on the headset which is really good. But is there a reason for wanting to switch Eq's constantly on a per game bases instead of finding a middle ground for all?
Ty & Your the reason I am buying a maxwell today and WC
On the dolby atmos app on xbox are you using game preset with performance mode on ? Or just custom 1 flat eq
If you set a eq on your pc or phone does it transfer to Xbox or ps5 when you switch?
Yes!
@@iLGuRG awesome! I actually went ahead and ordered a pair and I’m expecting them to come in this week I’m pretty excited after all the good things I’ve heard about them
@@masoneldridge7604 You did very well!
I play with glasses and mainly on PS5 and occasionally on Xbox and Switch, only Single Player games and no competitive FPS and I can confirm that in terms of audio they are the best.
The biggest problem with the Maxwells, as far as I'm concerned, is the strange management of Bluetooth for Smartphones. If you are connected via Dongle it only transmits the audio of phone calls but strangely it allows you to record (not listen to) audio messages. No other sounds will come from your smartphone, at least if you have an iPhone like me. And this is a huge flaw in my opinion.
If you like, I'll write you my experiences with other wireless headphones that I bought and tried in recent days together with the Maxwell ones, all updated to the latest firmware available.
Turtle Beach Stealth Pro - Xbox: these are the ones that I personally found to be closest to the audio of the Maxwells but inexplicably have the maximum volume too low. However, to date they remain the most complete that I have tried in managing all sounds and peripherals simultaneously even without a PC, better microphone than the Maxwell (with or without attached headband), but they are very tight on the ears, even with WC FreeZe cushions. However, they remain my favorites right after the Maxwells. Indeed... if it weren't for the pure sound, which I consider the most important thing of all, I would have kept these.
SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless - Xbox: too much treble, too little bass and if you raise the latter too much they distort the sound. Overall disappointing audio (the most '80s style radio of all). Mediocre microphone and terrible equalization management: every time I turn off the PS the personalized preset resets, all the others always remain but what I did I always lost. The possibility of being able to connect the 2 consoles to their DAC together is nice, but personally I found them extremely overrated. Always considering that I don't play on PC, so I can't bring with me almost all the customization possibilities that the GG program offers. They have the fact that they are the most comfortable of the 3 and the lightest.
P.S.: I then also tried the Razer Kraken V3 Pro Wireless which, regarding the lack of bass of the SteelSeries, I consider them even better in terms of audio, but it is obvious that overall they are inferior. The vibration functionality is very interesting and could become a "Must Have" once you get used to it. Very comfortable and soft, shame about the complete lack of Bluetooth. If I had to choose a gaming headset and had to spend less than the others mentioned above, I would recommend these, perhaps buying them used on Amazon so that they still cost less than the Pulse Elite when new.
I hope I have given you a pleasure in expressing these opinions of mine. I just finished doing a little testing and was eager to tell someone about it! ^^

I'd love to buy the Audeze Maxwell, but i haven't found a retailer here in Germany which sells the Maxwell for Xbox.
Thomann my friend try them😊
It's hard to find but worth the wait! I think you'll see more inventory over the next month or two internationally.
@@leonprez231 yeah for effectively 100$ more
@@leonprez231 It is almost 500€ and available in few months, so Thoman is not an Option.
Google it and you'll find subreddit thread, there a lot of good options in EU
Joe, as always your videos are the best!
One question, have you changed the fit of the headband with the new earpads?
And finally, there is an option to save the custom eqs in Android, after updating they are reloaded and it works perfectly.
Greetings!
Hi, and thanks! I offset mine. I shortened one side only and it made it fit better overall.
@@GadgetryTech Thanks!
Any chance you would be interested in making an EQ preset for Battlefield 2042? Quite popular game in the recent weeks so I think there would be interest for it
I almost did! Yeah I can certainly make a follow up to this. Will let you know.
Yes, I would appreciate a preset for 2042.
Hell let loose? Please ❤
Can you show us how to use the Audeze software? For some reason, I can not seem to find a way to edit the EQ in the PC software
So you recommend turning Dolby access off since you're using Audeze's software for custom eq's? Will we get surround sound though?
What does the ready preset looks like? The footsteps and competitive and the others? Im playing Naraka, Farlight 84, less and less pubg and warzone.
Hey - just wanted to say I would really love to see some presets for some immersive single player games!
I purchased the Wicked Cushions with your link from Amazon as a thank you - appreciate your videos very much! 😎
I just love the Immersive Preset so much for single player games, that I haven't looked into changing it. It's tuned exceptionally well out of the box!
@@GadgetryTechis the maxwell terrible when it comes to imaging? I usually play fps on ps4 with my arctis 1 wireless and was thinking about getting the maxwell. The imaging on the arctis 1 wireless is actually pretty good so I wanted to know if the Maxwell was not worth getting since I run fps
I really need these. The mesh inside the stock pads are touching my ears and I find that really annoying.
Just a question: but what is the purpose of the AUX jack in the Maxwells then?
I am a bit thoughtful about buying them, I would have wanted to connect them to the PC with the 3.5mm jack (I think the motherboard acts as a DAC/amplifier in this case?). I didn't understand if I risk damaging them this way or not :c
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!
just ordered me a pair of the cushions. Really curious what the headband will be like. Anyone know when they will be released?
Thanks for the Discount code pads ordered 🙂
Best channel 🙂
Thanks so much :)
Thanks for this! Question, if I use Sonar for EQ, do I disable that entirely and focus on Audeze's eq software instead? I just really appreciate Sonars game capture component so I'd hate to let that go.
I’m super late to this party but out of curiosity if I’m using the immersive preset with the stock pads should I swap back to the Audeze preset with the WC pads because they lift bass a little bit?
Great work! Thanks a lot!
