I like that you compared it to the other high end headsets. Comparisons are important because obviously when someone is looking for a new headset they are going to be looking at all of their options, so comparisons of headsets around the same price are vital.
My PlayStation version will be here next Thursday. I already own Dolby atmos on pc will I have to repurchase the license again to use don’t on the maxwells? Thanks great videos. 😊
Just found you today shocked you’re not a 1mill+ sub count.. best reviewer I’ve seen
Thanks! Slowly but surely! Appreciate it :)
Yesss!! Your reviews are unrivaled! Thank you 🙏🏼
Great review Joe! Love the comparisons as well. Really enjoy these in-depth reviews and appreciate all the time and effort.
I just discovered your channel and just wanted to say that you are by far the best audio tech critic I’ve ever watched. It’s your overall format that stands above many others I’ve watched, so detailed and informative that I feel confident that I have a good idea of what I’d be getting if I did decide to make a purchase. And the production quality of the video matches with the same stellar quality. Subscribed and looking forward to your future videos. -Godspeed
This is the review we've all been waiting for. Thank you
Man never seen this channel before but this is the most insane review i’ve ever seen. The clear glass to show the ear pad compression. This dude is killing it. Immediate sub. Keep it up.
Hands down one of the most detailed and technical review which firmly put this in the league of audiophile-speak territory but the presentation is done so well that I think an average tech user would be willing to sit through and appreciate the review done here. Good job and I'm off to watch all other videos in your channel!
This is so well done. Thank you so much for taking the time for doing this. I was looking forward to this review. Always appreciative of your insight!
Glad you found it helpful!
Nothing better than trash-talking with buddies while sitting on the toilet. Thank God for noise gate! 🤣
“Shit talking” haha
@@alexchhoward 🤣🤣🤣
Like our Greek philosopher forefathers 🗿
@@melancholyentertainment Yeah, but they had to create their own noise gate. Maybe that's how philosophy started? 🤔🤣
😂😂😂bro you a fool fa dis one
Dude, I enjoy your reviews so much you going so well in detail explaining everything for everybody. You are always in a nice mood. I appreciate you man keep going. Thank you so much.👏
Thank you for putting this review together. Answered all my questions and more.
Joe thank you so much for measuring the front of back of the inside of the earpad depth. I mentioned that on a reddit comment and I am so glad you measured that. That gives me a lot of insight to the comfort of these things because of my large ears. You're awesome.
👍👍👍
Another awesome kickass review! My favorite reviewer by far and wish you nothing but success with this channel. I am so excited as I get my set tomorrow.
The review quality on this is insane :)
I have the original Mobius and am on the more audiophile side of listening. The Mobius had its issues, but it was basically the best all rounder headset for both average consumer and audiophile listening. It did have its issues though that made it less competitive in today's world, so was super excited about the Maxwell - they basically took everything (except weight) and improved it as mentioned on paper.
Now with this review, I'm even more confident that they've smashed it out the park - can't wait to get mine.
Also new sub, great review - thank you for the time and effort used to spread the knowledge :D
Was looking forward to this! Gives me something to watch on my break!!
This is such an in-depth and well made review of this headphone. I fully appreciate this level of time and effort you put into your video... instant subscribe, well done.
Your review is just as all round as Maxwell! It is so detailed and comprehensive that I'd say is 80% responsible for me decided to buy one in the end. Heck this is even my third time rewatching the whole vid after placing the order. Subscribed!
Getting it and how is it? I’m thinking about purchasing myself.
I'm never buying anything tech related until I watch a video review by Joey first. His videos are so detailed and unbiased it's insane.
Can't wait to see this channel hit 100k subs! CRUSHING IT! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks brother! Getting there!
My first time seeing this channel, i’m absolutely blown away. Subbed immediately
Could you say his videos are a Bahhhh above the rest.
Seconded. I've watched like three or four more today.
Holy shit. It’s the 🐐
Super detailed review as always. Completely solidifies my purchase! You are my source of truth when it comes to headsets, much appreciated!
thanks!
@@GadgetryTech I just purchased the Seelseries Nova 7p for PS5. I also would like to use to listen to music. Should I return it and pay the extra $120 for this bad boy?
Seems like many youtubers don't like to answer the this vs that questions? I guess I just have to watch the vids and come up with my own conclusions lol. Well I tried the Nova 7ps last night and they sounded great to my ears. I used the settings from your 7p deep dive and it sounded good to me ha ha. Thanks for your great deep dive vids.
Awesome review as always Joe! Thank you! Just received mine yesterday! If anyone is wondering how to turn the bluetooth on you double tap the power button for pairing mode.
This is it. The review I was after. Time to buy. Thanks man!
I pre ordered these so I was super excited when I saw that you reviewed them and you answered a lot of questions I had thanks 🙏
very good testing! thanks to you !
I currently have the Penrose and ordered the Maxell, can't wait to receive it!
Mine just shipped! Thank you for the detailed review
You did the absolute best review this was so helpful for me. Thanks for taking the time.
Phenomenal review! Can’t wait to get mine from the pre order.
Nice detailed review. I can't wait for your EQ settings. My Maxwell will be here tomorrow. It's been a long wait. I'm happy they lived up to the hype.
Man, I have been waiting for this for so long! such a great review, and I can't wait to get my hands on these. Your review truly made my morning coffee so much better, you do the best reviews! as always, love from Sweden
I definitely appreciate your efforts for making this video. Havent recieved my headset yet so this brings some comfort.
I am surprised that this channel is not in 500k range of subs, the review quality is impeccable.
I did order this headset a while ago, and wasnt 100% sure, then canceled because it took too long to get them, and saw this video 2-3 days ago and I legit took it as a sign. Just got them today, and its everything you said and more. But coming from turtle beach elite pro it feels like 1000 000 000% upgrade + the wireless. Thanks again for this review and keep up the good & awsome work bud.
Thanks! I’m grateful for any support I get so I appreciate it! Wish you the best
Unfortunately majority of people don’t like to hear negative things said about a product. They just want to hear how amazing it is. Hence the over saturated every product is amazing reviewers.
This channel is awesome!
I keep watching all the Audeze Maxwell reviews over and over anxiously waiting for mine to arrive in June.
I was the same way and still watching after receiving mine
I found your channel randomly and I Subscribed in about 4 minutes. The quality of this review is way beyond the standards. Thank you, this video helped me a lot. Keep up the good work!
Jesus Christ what a mid week surprise and breathe 11:48 of fresh air. This might be a little weird but I listen to your detailed reviews probably three to five times in the time range of like two weeks just to make sure I retain all the info you relay. Love love love your channel man you are by far without a doubt the best “reviewer” you talk about what matters and should actually be talked about and not the nonsense a lot of people like to ramble about that requires very little actual work on their end and makes for easy talking time in their video to make their videos longer. Ok I’m officially taking my lips off your ass now just wanted to tell you I appreciate ya and the hard work you put in is noticed by us. Thank you again.
This dude doesn't screw around with bullshit. Nice to see an intelligent guy talking in depth about his reviews. He does his homework and comes across more genuine than a lot of other YT folk.
Amen
Joey is the smartest guy I know. I am so happy to see so many kind comments from all of you. He really cares about putting as much time as he can into his reviews.
Thanks so much for the support I appreciate it!
@@ScottHermanFitness yoooooo 2.75 mill??? I know who I’m working out to tonight.
Hope your channel grows dude. This review was done very well. I felt like you gave an honest opinion. Definitely subscribed, I hope you do eq videos on the headsets when they are available
I usually skip most of parts and go for sounding and build quality section when I watch review video. But this guy made such a detailed review and made me to watch the entire of it. No.1 for maxwell review video on TH-cam so far.
What a fantastic review 👏
I'm so happy you mentioned footsteps.. I'm sure I'm not on my own in wanting the best headset for gaming. I'm so happy you mentioned this and what you recommend.
Perfect .....
Awesome review as always. Literally went over all that I wanted to know
Glad you found it helpful!
Great review man. Love your commitment of honesty to your craft. 👌🏼
I just got the maxwells today and man am I impressed. The directional sound is amazing for gaming and the clarity of audio is insane. Chat and game are both clear even when a lot is going on. Music, game and discord all sounds crystal clear and are audible without any muddy blending. I changed the EQ to be a bit more bassy because the stock EQ wasn't as clear sounding to me, could be that I'm so used to bass since I've used the astro a10s for about 5 years. Another thing I notices is the bass isn't overpowering and it has a bit of punchiness to it and no distortion. It really sounds amazing because your mids and highs don't get muddy from the bass. The microphone isn't as bad as I've heard it sound on some of thr videos I've seen. It's marginally worse than my astro a10s but not so bad that it ruins peoples ears. Honestly the best pick up ever. I bought the set brand new from ebay with the 1 year manufacturer warranty for $250. A great pick up for $300 but i got a good steal for brand new. If you can get a pair of these I highly recommend forking out the extra money for this especially if you're looking to go wireless.
been waiting so desperately for your review. and of course your review is just a 10/10 dude. you deserve far far far far far more subscribers. due to that review, theres nothing in the way for me to get the maxwell, thank you!
Thanks Misha!
Hey bro I just wanted to
comment some love because this review is so detailed and awesome. I appreciate you outlining your objective observations and your subjective ones. This is some 90 million sub quality level. Awesome stuff man!
Thanks so much man!
Ordered the Maxwell and been rocking them since day 1 they came out in Sweden. Phanx for a great review, you are the reason they were chosen, you are on point!
Different level review!!! Can't wait to get my own impressions of comfort and sound. Before then though, one things for sure, that Filter tech is downright fantastic.
Just ordered mine. Thanks to you! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dude, your videos are insane! Glad I found your channel!
Without question, theeeee most incredible Maxwell review. How on earth do you not have more subs. You just got one here!
Thanks for a great review. This was exactly what I was looking for.
man what a great review, first time at your channel. while lengthy you are bringing across your points very well and dont waste air at all. it was very informative. excellent work, really.
Thanks so much for watching, subscribing, and the kind words!!
You earned yourself a new sub. I went with you Maxwell review and I can't believe how accurate reviews are. Great work.
Ok that's it you convinced me. Ordered one! Thank you for the elaborate review 👍👍
i just got mine today and I swear they are: AMAZING!!! thank u for ur review it helped me a lot :)
Thanx for your honesty, love your channel and your work to gaming community over the world I'm french subscriber
Yessss! Thank you for this amazing review. I needed content to tide me over until I receive mine.
I've been waiting for this one! Thank you
So have I haha! No sleep for days
@@GadgetryTech your reviews are the absolute best on TH-cam, bar none!
@@GadgetryTech You look tired! Get some rest!
Great review as always, thank you!
Looking forward this headset! Great review 👍 The bit with the chips cracked me up!
Another great review. A+ on thoroughness. Thanks so much.
This is all good news to me. I was hoping the Maxwell would review well because I was thinking of upgrading to it in the near future. Was gonna get a Penrose, but held off when this came up on my news app a few months back.
Yeah this has definitely been worth the wait
Thx for the review. Melody Gardot is amazing and a great choice for testing music on headphones.
Thank you for this video. Super high quality. Your knowledge is much appreciated.
Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you so much for this awesome Review! 💯
Very nice review. I'm actually happy that i didnt go blackfridayshopping for a new headset last november. When i was reading it's release i couldn't wait for your review. No doubt in my mind i'm gonna get this. But have to wait till it's releases here in NL. Thanks for the great review and time and effort you put into making this.
I'm so distrustful of tech reviewers but I'm really impressed and grateful by the quality and balance of your review. ended my decision paralysis :)
thanks, fantastic review, preordered my maxwells few days ago, will arrive in 2-3 weeks. I'm so glad they lived up to the hype, can't wait to play some proper beats on it!
Thanks! I was nervous about them being to hyped up but so far they seem like a home run
Fantastic thorough review! I really appreciate the attention to detail and breadth of your review. I currently have the previous model of the Steelseries Arctis Pro wired with the DAC and I have loved them for 2 years, apart from being tethered to the desk... I could never quite justify the $350 price tag for the wireless when they left the design and the price the same for like 5 years. Recently I was looking at the Nova line with the new upgrades and design change but wanted to look at some of the competition to make sure I make the right decision. I need to be connected to my work laptop and my personal PC at the same time with audio coming from both in order to effectively focus throughout the day and that functionality is rarely available so I have to research every headset before I make a purchase. Thanks again for a great review, you just got a new sub from me!
Just order myself a pair. Thanks for the great review.
Mine are on their way. I hope it lives up to the hype! Great review like always!
Thanks for this! not a stone unturned and crazy results with that mic test 😮
A very well done review, thanks! ☺️👍🏻
The Maxwell really seems like everything I asked for in a headset, as a single player gamer.
And you're head, shoulders and ankles above the other headphone reviewers. Great job 👏🏽
First time seeing your channel, now subscribed. Excellent review. Keep up the good work.
You earn yourself a humble subscriber Sr.
"Simply THE BEST and real honest review"
Very nice review. Thanks a lot!
Fantastic review. Exactly what I was looking for and you hit all the major points/issues I've had with previous headsets. Glad to hear that the Maxwell had improved in a lot of those areas. Really happy to hear about the range and great wireless performance. That's a huge plus.
I have one question I need to ask though. You mentioned that in analog mode, it's not passive and it's amplified. And you said don't buy an expensive amp thinking that we can change the sound of this headset as it has a dual balanced amplifier system (dual chamber design).
So, I guess adding this to my Schiit Hel 2e would not necessarily make this sound even better?
Again, excellent review. You've earned yourself another subscriber. 👍
No amp needed, you actually shouldn't connect them to one
@@LATasKara thanks
Great review! I loved your xbox bit at the begining, it was super fun! Keep up the great work.
Thanks. Slowly coming out of my shell lol
Great review man I always wanted a pair of Audeze and this gave me the confidence to go grab some thank man
AMAZING review man... nothing short of greatness. I ordered the XBOX version the day it came out for pre-order... the wait is killing me...
Great video as always very detailed
Thanks for helping decide my next phones!
Just wish I was here earlier to ask a question before purchasing 🍻
Been following you for awhile now and I don’t know how you don’t have more subscribes but the Lord will bless you for your hard work can’t wait to see you hit 100 K.
great review. looking forward to the follow up
Great review. These are on my list to look into since i just returned my nova pro wireless.
Thanks!
I got this headset and can comfortably say that this is the best headset I have ever used. Thank you Joe for the review! I would not have known about this headset and its quality prior if it were not for this review and breakdown.
Is the build quality good?
Great review man!
Your channel is a little gem that I am grateful to have found. I really like your way of presentation with the mix of kindness, subjective judgment and objective data. Thanks for that!
I just bought a used "Penrose" last week for cheap, and I'm pretty happy with it (for music I also own a LCD-2). In the tests/measurements you can see an imbalance in channels with the Penrose as well, but for gaming use and for TH-cam for example, it seems irrelevant to me.
Now Audeze itself writes on the website:
"One of the biggest improvements comes from the new housing. In the Penrose/Mobius housing the left and right side were not acoustically balanced due to the presence of PCB on one side, and the battery on the other. Buttons were also mostly on the left. With Maxwell, we have a dual chamber design. There is an inner housing that acoustically isolates the driver from the electronics. This alone makes a huge improvement."
So I would have hoped that exactly this - described by you as "anomaly" - channel mismatch would be fixed in the Maxwell. But it looks even worse than the Penrose. Let's wait for other tests and measurements. Hopefully others also find this, then I "must" not buy another headphone, but can continue to use the imho pretty cool Penrose satisfied :-)
Such a good review!!! Can't wait of the XBOX/PC version! Great content as usual. Keep it coming. Would like to compare presets vs Dolby Atmos on Xbox versions.
I'll definitely do a deep dive there!
Great review! Thanks.
Awesome. You are hands down one of the better headphone/headset reviewers.
Great review. Very detailed
super review es hat mich in meiner Wahl bestätigt und ich kann es kaum erwarten das mein Mawell mich in berlin/germany erreicht :-) tx for u work bro 🙂
Watching this review while using my Maxwell! These will definitely make other companies feel the need to step up with their own products!
Do you also notice a channel imbalance? This makes me feel uncomfortable given the price class. If it's not a firmware issue but inconsistent quality on both sides, everyone will have different imbalances.
Thank you for another great video. I just want to say how much I appreciate you clarifying that the audio presets you save do not carry over to console. Thank you for including that info. I feel that other channels breeze past that point, and it is an important one for sure. Thanks much. :)
Thanks man! I appreciate the support as always
Damn, really got me wanting these just to own a pair even though I have the Nova Pro Wireless. The struggle of being a tech nerd lol. Great review and video again!
I know what I’ll buy if my Nova ever breaks after warranty is up 🤣
Finally a decent review for the maxwell! happy i pre ordered i love the pros and will take the cons for granted cheers
Been waiting for someone to finally have a legit in depth review. Sir you deliver and then some. Audeze needs to ship me my headset now.
Amazing review, very detailed and delivered in a very nice, neutral, objective way! Congrats!
Subscribers++
:)
The mic tests alone are blowing my mind. Especially as a wireless option
This is a very decent review. Thumbs up! 👍
that vacuum segment sold me, thanks.
