#wireless #gaming #headset - VÄda a technologie
Shout out to everybody who caught this briefly yesterday. Had some bugs in the final render that needed fixing. Appreciate your patience on this one. Turtle Beach Stealth Pro comparison coming up quick!
nice video very comprehensive 20 min videos are rare on this channel and with your level of quality i bet it took a long time to make. would like to see a razer shark v2 2023 edition review aswell as how your focal clear compares to your wireless headphones in games
Man these looks nice. This video so good watched it twice.
I thought I was going crazy thinking I've watch this already.
lmao Thought I was trippin, straight up got kicked mid video.
Rare writting somethng on CZcams, but now really want to know, would be greatfull for answering. Already take ASUS ROG Azoth (thx to you to btw :) ), and thinking about next buying - new headset, my Penrose didnt feels good anymore.
So what I wanna asking about. What matterial on earcup swivel? Penrose plastic breaks pretty easily by itself, Audize even try to fix it in later revisions by additional stiffening ribs (unsuccessfully by my own expiriense). And wireless range on Penrose was terrible to, as on 2,4 Gh, as on bluetooth, was it fixed in Maxwell?
@@OUTS1DER666 the swivels are aluminum now and they look like they have a brass bushing in there as well. They feel very high quality and I canât imagine them being an issue long term. The wireless performance, incl bluetooth, is far superior to Penrose. I havenât had a single disconnect or dropout in over a month of use.
Amazing review as always man. Thanks so much for the shout out!
I watch almost every review I can find on headsets that I'm interested in, and always find that Brian's reviews best answer and explain what I wanted to know about these headsets.
The perfect depth of knowledge in audiophile sound and perfect comparisons with competing products. If I could only watch one review of a headset or mouse, etc, it would come from this guy.
Your ability to explain a lot of these concepts in terms that are easy to understand is unparalleled. I love that you always address every level of tech literacy in your videos, its extremely inclusive and shows that you're really committed to making sure the average consumer knows what their money is going to. Great work, always. Loving the long form stuff.
Youâre the realest
Great review - I'm absolutely not in the market for a wireless headset but I watch every review all the same. It's obvious how much time and care goes into them and your ability to confidently discuss almost all aspects without getting too far into the weeds makes every video an easy watch.
Glad to see the wireless headset game is really taking a step up! I remember trying one a few years ago and being heavily turned off by all the compromises just to ditch a wire (when I basically just play at my desk anyway) - happily that appears to be far less of an issue, at least with these more premium offerings.
I love the detail that you have with this review and how much feedback was provided with how the headset operates
So awesome to see another extremely informative review. Killing it as always!
Thank you sir!
As per usual, thorough, easy to follow, in-depth, and superb production quality. Love these videos. Keep up the amazing work!
You just earned a new sub. Probably my new go-to for tech reviews. Solid delivery and very thorough.
what a fantastic review. really glad i found someone who not only understands what these headsets are made for, but also knows audiophile expectations. im so happy i saw this before i pulled the trigger on the Nova, i didnt even know this was coming out! im also coming from the Arctis Pro Wireless and they recently broke (time for an upgrade). I have a good collection of audiophile cans but no audeze. was really struggling between the two, but with my preference to audio quality to bells and whistles, this review was a godsend. Youve gained my respect and my subscribe. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the review! I am ordering this bad boy right now!
Maxwell is what I thought I was going to get from Penrose but didnât. Great sound with solid interface. Reprioritizing the chat mix, strong connection options, versatility in music and gaming and build quality all made huge steps up from Penrose. I sub to bad seed for these kinds of in depth tests and you nailed it! Excellent work.
I never thought about offsetting the suspension to get a mid setting between the adjustable heights. Using my Arctis Nova 7 this really made it more comfortable for me. Thank you for pointing that out. Headset comfort literally instantly improved by just thinking outside the box. wow. You really never know when you will learn something new.
I figured this out as it was too big, then too small and i said, well lets see if doing just one will be noticeably offset. It did the trick! I can't seem to find a dongle update though.....
Wow, you really pour your heart and soul into every review! I always enjoy your videos, even for stuff I've got no interest in or am not in the market for, and I've always wished you released videos more often... but if this is the depth and quality we get in return for our patience, then our patience you shall have! Stay up!
Wow thank you so much. That really means a lot!
Great review B!, looking into these for sure since I was one of the people who was bothered my nova pro knob.
I have these and they are amazing. Very comfortable. For me they don't get too hot either. Sound fantastic. Long battery life. Fits my big head. Literally zero complaints
best headphones hands down, I love it and I wouldnt be able to go to a different headset
How's the isolation? I'm playing with Sennheiser G4ME ONE open back headphones now and and I love them. It's just hard to play while my girlfriend is watching TV.
Have you used Xbox version with 3d audio?
@@zanat0s I know youâre asking the other guy but I can confirm that the Xbox version works with ps5 3d audio wirelessly, i main on Xbox so I bought the Xbox version but I also own a ps5 and it works
â@@eddi3401So the Xbox Verizon will work seamlessly on the ps5 but with the addition of Dolby atoms for music and etc? Needing a wireless headset for my ps5 and not sure to get this one or the Sony Pulse Elites which I know Sony bought Audeze but I would imagine these are still a step above the Pulse Elites.
Thanks again for a GREAT review. Your thoroughness and ability to give us gamers the realistic low-down on what we are looking for is still unparalleled. You got me hooked on the PC38X and I'm still going strong. However, if I ever decide to go back to a closed-back wireless headset, I know where to look before I make my buying decision. Now, if only someone would make a wireless open-back headset like these.
What is better open or closed back and why ?
@@shahangilani To be unfairly brief: An open back will give you a larger more natural sounding sound stage, whereas a closed back will offer better isolation (reduced ambient sounds). It really depends on your situation/environment as to which you will prefer. I have and use both.
Thanks for the detailed video!
Your attention to detail and quality on these reviews always is impeccable! Thank you as usual
Love the shout out for GadgetryTech. Dudes got good shit. He deserves more views. Glad to see a new video from you bro!
also subscribed to GadgetryTech and I love that he also gets technical with his reviews and at the same time providing his experience on using with gaming. I won't specify any names but he always gets a little bit of a shoutout from a certain youtuber because of his technical reviews, like gamers shouldn't get technical with audio and just be brain dead game and not pay attention to the details.
Thank you for the detailed review. Sad you did not make a comparison with your dt 1990 :(
Just want say love your videos find them incredibly detailed and informative thank you for taking the time to make such great content! Wanted to ask as a avid gamer who is really wanting to up their audio game for a more immersive experience have you heard anything about the issues being reported of the planar drivers dying easily due to air pressure? A lot of posts saying " don't get them they die easy" I was literally about to buy them before seeing some of this feedback and it made me think twice. Would you still recommend them and if so any advice for someone new to audiophile level headphones like these?
Excellent review, thank you!
I recently got an ifi zen dac because of your recommendations. Thanks alot. I love it.
Lovely how you mentioned joe! He's my usual topspot when it comes to headsets, but i just found your channel, and gonna watch you as well, also, the beard is Hella nice đ„đ„đ„
That was cool of you to promote GadgetryTech. He's honestly amazing. You two are the only dudes on CZcams that review anything that I could actually see me chilling with.
Talent recognizes talent
Awesome review, very in-depth. Would have loved to see a mic comparison with the new Blackshark 2 Pro 2023 though.
Thanks for a great review, nailed it! đ
Super informative videos! But man, this and your review between these, the stealth pro, and arctis nova pro wireless, has left me with a really tough decision to make.. coming from elite pro 2 with superamp, the simultaneous broadcast is a hard thing to let go of for the sim racing + music side of things. But the better sound quality overall I think makes these the better option. That battery life too!
This review was fantastic and in depth, just what I love. Absolutely subscribing. It's like youtube knew I was thinking about grabbing the arctis nova pro wireless. I've got the Arctis pro wireless (the last gen version. The naming convention is unfortunate) at one setup but I don't like commuting with it when I go back to my house. The hot swappable battery is my favorite part as I know they'll always have a charge.
80 hours on these is really enticing. I use a Rode Wireless Go 2 for my mic so that isn't an issue. I'm primarily looking for something that has clear voice quality for voice calls, then music, then gaming. It sounds like these might be the way to go.
Given that ^ do you have any thoughts or suggestions?
Great review as always! They are great as all-in-one headphones which I use it as. It's great for work, music, and gaming. I use them all the time as a result and already need replacement pads soon lol.
great review mate! you're the best!
What a gifted reviewer. Subbed.THANK YOU
Loved your review, definitely getting these!
Damn I've been waiting for a wireless headphones review like this for a loooong time. I loved the part where you were talking about fps imaging and soundstaging. Might have to pick up both arctis and maxwell lol
I litteraly just about to head out the door to buy the Arctis Nova Pro when this youtube recommendation came up, and this video was a godsend. I have tried the "buy an audiophile headphones and a mic seperately" deal before, I wasn't really happy with it. I really wanted a gamer headset, wireless, closed back, attached microphone, but where music quality had a higher priority than hearing footsteps to the best detail in CS or COD. I had pretty much given up and was just going to buy the Arctis Nova Pro, but this headset was EXACTLY what I wanted, thank you so much and thank you Audeze!
Nice to see a new video after a month long hiatus, hope you're doing well! đ
Another high quality review brother. Incredible attention to detail as always. Cheers.
love your videos man! You should do one on the EPOS H6 pro or the VZR Model Ones ! The model ones are very impressive!
Finally! Iâve been waiting for your review on this headset. As always, excellent review.
Great video! Was thinking about getting this headset to replace my Turtle beach stealth 700 gen 2. I have an Xbox series X and ever since I got the turtle beach Iâve only had problems. Constantly disconnecting or dropping the audio. From all the research Iâve done it seems like itâs because it connects using the same frequency as wifi routers. Thank you again for the great video!
What an amazing review mr. Seed thatâs just another outstanding review well done.
I tried many and the best option under $ 70 for sure is Karmafier Immersum Headset. It has really really good audio. Amazing bass (I'm a bass head) and really clear highs. And I really appreciate the lack of muddy mids. I owned more expensive ones before that were not as good.
bro
stop
im just trying to find a good headset
Mine just arrived today. Youâre spot on, these things are very impressive.
Love your audio reviews dude. Good work! How would this compare in gaming and music to the PC38X?
im not in the market for a new headset but your reviews are just so good. always thorough, informative and you even seem to enjoy doing the review itself. i really admire you man
Thanks a million. That really means a lot.
Nice that you pump up Joe.. he got great reviews
great video , i recently got the nova 7 and they are amazing with some eq tunning
fantastic review -thanks
Very detailed review. Thank you very much. One question please. So does that mean you rank the steelseries nova above the penrose and morbious. For fps too? Too
Iâve been on this journey for a while, searching for the best set of gaming headphones. Master & Dynamic MG20, VZR Model One, Nova/Arctis Pro Wireless, EPOS, using an Antlion Mod Mic with many of my high-end headphones.
Can confirm not only is this the best wireless headset Iâve ever used, but Iâm using them for casual listening more frequently than I expected. Despite having thousands in higher end headphones close by.
And these are a steal as a âbeginnerâ set of planars for anyone that wants to get into this space.
Again, great video and good to see your take. I think these are definitely the ones. Still love my VZRs when I want to use a wired set, but 90% of the time the Maxwell is my new go-to.
Do you have the DT770(250ohm) by any chance. That's what I'm coming from, and was wondering if i'd be down grading. Not willing to go wireless if I'm compromising sound quality. I had the Audeze Penrose, but ultimately i returned them since my DT770's edged them out.
@@NeonPizzas I may have answered this on another thread, but yes I do own the 770s (and the DT1990s). I use them for some tracking and for checking mixes. Theyâre probably my oldest pair of studio headphones. You are definitely not missing out on quality.
To clarify, and I apologize if this sounds like a flex, I have an extensive collection of headphones and IEMs. HD600, HD560, 660, IE600/900, Momentum 4s, Focal Bathys, Radiance, Clear, the Audeze LCD-X, MM-100/500. Dozens of IEMs, from $20 to $2500. Long story short, I take sound quality seriously. I came from a music production background. My desktop speakers are reference monitors, if that tells you anything. Despite all of that, I was extremely impressed with the Maxwell. I did not like the Penrose, or the Mobius. I found them both lacking. But Audeze absolutely knocked it out of the park with the Maxwell. You will not be disappointed. There are times where I honestly just leave them on to listen to music, despite having a set of Focal Radiance in reach.
The only thing I will be clear on is that you will want to learn and use their built-in EQ (using the app). Their default tunings are good (the Immersive preset is solid), but it really opens up when you start experimenting with their EQ, as it offers enough bands to actually tune them well. It is not PEQ of course, but it is adequate enough that I could tune them to be completely neutral, or turn them into bass cannons.
I came here for the review, but best part for me was GadgetryTech getting a shout out, man deserves a lot more subs!
Buy a USB C to USB A adapter.
I recently found your page. Thank you for helping me update my CoD setup: Wooting 60 HE+ // finalmouse ULX // Audeze Maxwell. I may suck but at least I'll suck in style.
Dawg this is about to be my exact setup lmao. I'm waiting for ulx batch in March and now I'm looking at this headset. I have the wooting rn
@@strikerheadshot7215 the wooting slaps. I'm still getting used to it as I've aways played on larger keyboards but silky smooth. ULX is me. the Steel Series Aerox 5 i thought was a mercedez benz.. the ulx is that same mercedez but with the elite super charged f1 version. And I am a professional sound guy, so I am very sensitive to sound.... The maxwell is it. Versatile, clarity. I can localize footsteps so well.
I hope this helps. You're about to LOOOOVE your setup.
Youâre the best CZcamsr so for me to make a EQ settings I have to be playing the music in the background for the game thank you, brother
Love the detailed review
Been waiting for this one!
Nice Rosenstock shot in there. One of my favorite live shows I have ever gone to. Dude keeps the energy high the whole time.
You're goated for these I've been looking for an upgrade from my virtuosos... I didn't like the novas since the audio quality was apparently relatively the same but these seem to be my best option for the best of both gaming and music on my computer đ€đŒđ€đŒđ€đŒ thanks brotha
Appreciate the review and look forward to your thoughts on the Stealth Pro. I am curious though; has the Nova Pro comfort started to bother you at all? I know the anc nub started to bother Joe from Gadgetry and Dimitri from Kanucks, so curious if you have experienced any discomfort at all over time. Thanks Iâm advance for any input.
A little late comment, but I have to echo the majority opinion - these things exceed the hype - it's real. Musical sound quality, Gaming sound quality, voice sound quality, General sound quality, convenience. All of it.
The microphone tends to compliment my voice timbre and others have noted how good my mic audio was - it tends to be a tiny bit on the warmer side, but certainly not muddy or muffled. Sure, it isn't 'the best' mic quality, but aside from a dedicated 'podcast' or 'broadcast' mic setup - it's perfectly solid. Plosives and sibilance are alleviated with mic placement - just position the mic boom a little off tot he side and you're golden. I don't really use the noise suppression since I'm usually in a mostly quiet environment.
The sentiment in the video of these being "one of the very best tuned closed back headphones on the market available today" is spot on. My 'other headphones' are the Hifiman Ananda Stealth and a Burson Playmate 2 DAC/Amp - and these Maxwells are close enough in sound quality that most of the time, I just don't care and it just doesn't matter which 'phone I'm listening to. Yes, the Hifiman/Burson combo is 'better' and you can tell a difference (which becomes un-noticable after 10 minutes because of accommodation), but man - if you want something with a built in mic, these Maxwells are the ticket. I just wish they would get their PC app fully functional and sorted.
"Way too good for the price" perfectly sums up these 'phones - actually even 'way too good for double the price' is probably more accurate.
Just getting into the pc world of gaming and I must say your ability to explain each product youâve reviewed is very understanding and for that I thank you for helping me put my money into quality products. Keep it up brotha!
Thanks man! I appreciate you!
Thank you so much for this video. Are you able to elaborate a bit more on the goxlr routing? My current view is that I'd have to line in my goxlr back to my pc and then output that to the headphones.
Just bought the xbox set arrives tomorrow cannot wait great information review
Dude, yet another truly thorough and solid review. From everything you've shared, I can definitely say that the M&D MG20 aren't as good as the Maxwell. I've had them and they sound amazing true but overall, the Nova Pro Wireless sounds and performs better than the MG20. I love your work buddy and appreciate the lengths to deliver all this information. Now, I have to find a way to get a Maxwell for myself đ€Łđ€Ł
Seed love your reviews as always. Iâve been getting back into competitive shooters over more single player /mmos again. Currently rocking pc38x.. in your opinion what would you recommend for say cod / footsteps ? Would you still prefer closed back over open back ? Iâm really considering these maxwells to swap back over to closed back.
Iâve got a pair of these on the way and canât wait to get them. Expecting a monumental improvement in sound quality over my Blackshark V2 Proâs. Those served me pretty well for a while but Iâve long wanted to step into something more serious, not to mention, something which would provide excellent clarity and sound quality for gaming at home as well as listening to music while traveling.
I tend to prefer buying one ring to rule them all, rather than having a bunch of products for several different use cases and this set seems like a perfect fit.
How have they been? I am contemplating these or the upcoming Sony Pulse Elites.
I donât typically subscribe after watching just one video but holy crap what an insanely detailed review đđ»đđ» got my sub â
Very informative Review! đđ»
I purchased the Nova Pro wireless because of your review and I am still very very happy, love them. I did replace the pads with aftermarkets for better comfort. If I were to upgrade I would check out the Maxwell. So mainly I am just here to say this was a phenomenal review, very informative and well done man.
Iâm stuck on Nova pro as well, sound great but most importantly for me, line in from my stream PC!
@@AJCoReTV What's the real world battery life on them per battery? I tend not to listen to reviewers about how long between charges as they're usually review units that are gone in a week or two.
@@dodo19923 I only swap batteries once very few weeks. Iâve not really checked how many actual hours⊠just now they last me very long!
As a person who owned the Arctis Pro wireless, I was definitely disappointed in the Nova Pro wireless. The audio quality was barely even noticeably better than the previous model, and I would say that the APW had a better design overall.
Thank you for giving us this review. We need more headsets like these. Audiophile quality in the gaming space is very underrated. Being able to hear things the way game developers intended is essential.
I would like to see Audeze respond to the software issues on this thread. Iâm waiting for a confirmation that firmware updates have addressed these bugs or they plan to roll out a new version of the Maxwell before I buy.
As always thanks for a thorough review.
Dope review, looks like I know what pair of wireless headphones to test next đ
For me the killer feature is the base station on the steelseries wireless headphones. Specifically the ability to mix different sources.
Love badseed headphone reviews. Even tho I have a hifiman 560 v3 it good to see that wireless is finally catching up with quality in both mic and sound.
This dude is awsome just found your channel great review brother new sub! I have a few questions about this headset is there a place where I can DM you if thatâs possible?!
That was a great video! Now that the PS5 has Atmos (not sure if it's in an official release or not) will the PlayStation version get an Atmos license option? Also, would these be worth it to run wired to a Schiit Hel 2 with a Rode Podmic or run the headset standalone? Thanks, looking forward to more of your videos!
Dang Badseed you passed 350k subs! keep it going!
I hope the build is better than the Penrose. I went through two in less than a year! I'm extremely good with my equipment too. Let see if these hold up over time.
One thing I really liked about the Penrose was sound was better than any "gaming" headset once EQ. Music listening which I did the most with them was noice! Thanks for the Review!
great review! thank you! still waiting for re-stock here in the Philippines.
QUESTION though: "great bluetooth headphones too as long as you don't need active noise cancelling" -so that AI noise cancelling doesn't work when in bluetooth connection, for example, using in phone calls? is it for built-in mic only or both?
Another banger, Brian! Thanks for such consistent, high-quality reviews. đŻ
Consistent?? Prob have some work to do there lol
But I appreciate you for sure
Its awesome to see the filter on the headset like that! The only thing i know that can do the same is Nvidia broadcast, but that requires their cards to work well. This is a cool step to using filters that strong on universal hardware
Nvidia broadcast adds a noticeable delay, which when gaming can mean callouts don't get to your squad-mates in time, so I don't use it. I wonder if the Maxwell's filtering has a lower latency penalty?
The sound quality lives up to the hype, and I found them very comfortable, but unfortunately I had to return mine as when I was connected to my work PC and my phone it would mute all sound from the phone. A big problem, as I bought them to be my gaming headset and my work headset and it meant I couldn't listen to music while working. Been much happier with my Steelseries Arctis Nova Pros.
Time to watch another amazing review.
Nice review!
I would love to see a Wooting TKL/75%.
Can you review the Drunkdeer A75 Keyboard? It seems to be similar to the Wooting.
Thanks :)
Waiting for your tb stealth pro review before i decide between these or those
Brother, I bought a pair 2 months ago. Been using daily, love it. I agree with you while heartedly.
Sound so good, mic a moderate decent. I have the artic pros as well, and prefer by far the Maxwells.
Nice video bud, thanks!
You had me sold on them until I heard the mic quality. They make you sound like you work for dispatch. They built in one sounds like it has permanent feedback. My personal opinion aside, this review is utterly amazing and I am definitely subscribing.
What a solid reviewer guess almost time to change my arctis pro wireless to maxwell
Babe, wake up. BadSeed Tech uploaded a new video
@@AnnelDaniel skill issue
wait you never call me babe.
How long did you sleep on your arm for it to fall asleep đŹđ
hearing that they are good as overall headphones and are not cliché boom boom gaming headphones was all I wanted to hear.
The various connectivity options fit the needs I have, the dual channel to get game sound and chat balance OR game and music, with a lil roller is something I've beem wanting on my current cans for so long.
Man, whenever the budget falls into my hands, I might just get them tbh
why donât you use Klarna and pay like $20 a month til you pay it off. Thatâs what i do with all my purchases
Thank you so much!
pre order done! thx BST
Looks like a great headset. I still feel like sticking with my current setup which is a Soundblaster X3 DAC/AMP and my EPOS H6 Pro and Sennheiser HD599 for an open back option. Works wonders for me as I game on PS5 primarily
PS: Great review as always
I'm really impressed with the Maxwell, I have been wanting a wireless headset to as getting up to move around is something that's needed. I was using a DT1990 as my daily headset and I liked the Maxwell enough to loan the 1990s to my friend. The only thing i miss is the sound stage and imaging in some games like Hunt Showdown or Tarkov, but the convenience they provide is worth the minor hit. Amazing video as always Brian!
I haven't tried that many headphones to know this but is the soundstage and imaging of the DT's that much better compared to the M50x and the HD650? I really miss closed backs so I was shopping for something. I've been looking at the Rode NTH-100. Would I be better of with these?
I play Siege, and own a pair of these Maxwells. These are great, for footsteps, and coms. Lovethem
@@UltraFarturas you go for the mmx300 gen.2 theyre the best closed back headset money can buy
@@sharkb0078 You dont need the dolby atmos version of the headset for this do you?
â@xire01 no, I do not. I am over 40, so audio is key in 1st person shooter gaming. The audio is so good, I have A40, Turtle beach 700 series and artic pros. These top all of them for audio quality.
Love my Maxwellâs I have them since day 1. I have the nova pro wireless as well and on ps5 always have to deal with popping and distorted audio noises and not much help from SteelSeries. Highly recommend the Maxwells
How have they been? I'm seriously wanting a quality wireless headset. I've tried 3 or 4 different wireless and 2 or 3 wired headsets and returned them all because they just didn't get quite loud enough or beat the sound in my $40 wired Hyper X headsets. However I never spent $300+ for the top tier lines and have always heards its a waste to buy the Nove Pros for consoles since you can't utilize Sonar. So I stumble across these after learning about Sony's acquisition of Audeze. I think these would suit me better as they are just over-all finer tuned. I only game on ps5 and sometimes on my ps4 pro. But that base station on the Nova Pros seems to still be an advantage over everybody.
Been rocking my maxwells since they came out, amazing upgrade over the Penrose and mobius
Great Video as always man. Thank you.
@Badseed Tech New to the channel i have watched about 4 or 5 of your reviews over the last couple days very informative super detailed amazing work. Quick question in your opinion what's the best WIRED Gaming Headset right now for CONSOLES?
Great review! The only thing I was left wondering personally is how the Maxwell compares to the Mobius. Kind of an unfair comparison given one is wired and one is wireless, so I can see why you didnât mention it, but I have a Mobius and am curious whether thereâs any benefit to upgrading (other than being able to go wireless or course).
Did you upgrade in the end? My favourite thing about the mobius is the 3D audio being able to be set from a manual direction. This doesn't seem to have that option as far as I can see.
@@ALifeOfWine No, I stuck with the Mobius. I was never confident enough there would be a benefit. I ended up picking up a PC38X and loving it actually.
