I'm watching this wearing my new Audeze Maxwell :) Love these so much, I upgraded from the Steel Series.
yeah they sound so gooood
Absolutely love mine.
Thanks for this review as I've only owned my Maxwell for a couple of weeks for gaming on my Xbox Series X and I'm definitely ordering the Dekoni Sheepskin version now and you have earned a subscription.
@@davidhughes1275 yeah it’s a good earpad
Agree 100% on both the H6 Pro (multiplayer) and Maxwell (story driven). I also have the sheepskin Dekoni pads for Maxwell and it’s an amazing combo. Music mixed for Dolby Atmos sounds fantastic with Maxwell.
haha thanks for reaffirming
im getting the maxwells in just 2 more days, excited
congrats!
Hi don't be excited I've had my audeze maxwell since day one regret buying them there too too too too heavy for every day usage I play 6 to 8 hours a day and ther not comfy unless you play 1 hour a day they gave me a severe headache and neck pain if you want the best sound go wired it's the best get the hifiman arya organic with the fiio amp dac save your money you will thank me later stay safe and happy gaming to all
@@jamesstevens968 ive gotten used to them just now. And i been playing for a good while. Tho ye they are heavy, its not unbearable.
@@jamesstevens968 Any planar would be a neck weight for a daily driver. You either have some iems for longer sessions or switch headphones between sessions.
Save your money and get Beyerdynamic DT 1990s you will thank me later. Been tryna use these for days now but can’t even wear them for more than 5-10 minutes before I just need to take them off because the middle of my noggon is hurting so much from the sheer about of pressure the AUDEZE Maxwells is pushing onto my head with the weight of them and I keep trying to adjust the leather strap from putting the straps to the lowest position which makes the AUDEZE Maxwell fall off my head and the middle position doesn’t go as far down as I need it to I need something in between the middle position and lowest position but there is no option. The strap just ain’t it bruhhhh isn’t as plushy as the Steel Series Nova pro wireless strap and doesn’t give as much plush and give in then and the leather strap is way more sturdy and only stays into one place and doesn’t move. Everytime I wear the AUDEZE Maxwell the middle part of my head where the leather strap rests on and puts all the pressure from the leather strap and headphones on every single time I feel pressure there I feel so much pain it’s unbearable to wear the headphones and causing me to get headaches and migraines and wanna throw up and ion know what to do cuz these sounds so god damn good too good for me not to stop wearing them and all ion wanna do is just wear them and get that 3D immersive clear nice crisp audios with great sound stage and sound imaging and positioning and just listen to how good these sound and are but can’t even do that since my head is always in pain when wearing these and because they are so heavy too heavy for me my neck is also in pain causing my neck to be in a F1 Lando Norris neck training for the high velocity G forces pain and now my neck is so sore after wearing these. We just need a lighter more comfortable head strap and more adjustable sizing AUDEZE Maxwell and we’re set for life and can finally have endgame cans and get back to sound horing and wall banging enemies in game!!! The only other headphones to ever come perfect in comfort are the Beyerdynamic DT1990s and ever since I’ve tired those they feel like clouds on my head even lighter than the Hyper X Cloud 2 and feel so comfortable I forget that ion even wearing them and I don’t feel anything on my head and I can get 24/7 all day comfort with these and never have to take them off this is what we need form the AUDEZE Maxwells!!!
I heard that they have membrane problems, what do you think?
i heard people complaining about wrinkles in the planar drives. As a person who has like 5+ planars headphones wrinkles are normal, but I guess if its so bad that it changes sound its probably not normal
Hello, please help me with my dilemma.
I've been thinking about buying Audeze Maxwell for a week now, but I've read a lot of scary stories on Reddit and other sites. I'm from Russia, dug through the entire Russian and English-language Internet, reviewed a bunch of reviews and re-read a bunch of reviews, but still there is a great fear to buy these headphones. I live 400 km east of Moscow and even further from St. Petersburg, so to change the membranes (in case of their rupture) will be problematic, because in my city there are no specialized services. So far I know only two masters who repair them, but they are both in St. Petersburg.
I plan to use them only for home use, just sit at the PC, play and listen to music in parallel, the volume on Windows is always 20-30%, I don't like to listen to more than half. I will definitely not use them for walking, if only to move around the apartment sometimes. Sometimes sharply remove the headphones or shake my head when they enter the room.
Because of the reviews read that the membrane can burst just from the “strict look”, even if you put the headphones on the table on the ear cushions, so you need to buy a stand. Also, I have read all kinds of stories about how the membrane burst within a year (after a week-month-half a year, etc.). Because of this I'm very scared to spend money on them, because the price tag is big for me and maybe they will be my first headphones in this price segment.
I heard that they should be very gently put on and take off, turn on only before putting on and can not touch the cups at all, otherwise it creates pressure and the membrane goes in waves or bursts at all.
I've heard the headphones are much more reliable than past Audeze models, so please answer: is it true what people say on the forums, or is it hyperbole that they break easily? Can the headphones survive an accidental drop while still maintaining sound quality?
These are my first magnetoplanars, and I have a longtime dream of touching the world of this technology and audiophilia. I realize that the technology is very fragile, and my hands do not grow from my shoulders, but I always try to treat the equipment with care, although there are still accidents. Still I realize that maybe these headphones are not for me, so is there any replacement among dynamic headphones?
Please help, because I can not find any peace, I really want to try magnetoplanars because of the praised sound quality, but in general I do not want to risk and then be disappointed in the purchase.
@@BuXyXoJlb152 i would say just don’t push on the earcup while it’s on your head when there’s a seal or you will hear it crinkle more. Besides that obviously don’t stick your hand in the driver but they have a bunch of posts preventing you from doing so.
Thanks for the update! always good to see a long term impression on a product your thinking about getting, for me I have been using the 560s for ages and have been really loving them but I just miss my wireless headphones, the one question I would have and I know you did touch on it in the video. I am not looking for class leading footstep audio in FPS games but I am also not looking to compromise on what I have currently just for a better immersion experience / story driven feel - I'm not sure if you have tried the 560s or not but I think that the imaging is great and while not the absolute best they still do a great job, would you say your comprising by using the maxwells for FPS gaming or would you say that they are still perfectly fine for this use case and you wouldn't say you feel at a disadvantage?
ive tried 560s for music before and its pretty good for the price, I have the drop PC38x which has a similar build quality and angled drivers, and based on that I would say the footsteps are better on something like 560s than the audeze maxwell. But the audeze maxwell will have more bass and detail, but 560s will most likely sound more airy so depends on you
I've only used closed-back headphones and have never used open before. I'm looking for headphones to use on my PC and PS5 playing both competitive multiplayer games and immersive/cinematic single-player story games. I want something that does a good job for both. So far, you and other reviewers have convinced me to get the Maxwell and use eq for competitive games. However, I've been thinking of trying out open-back headphones.
The two I have been looking at are the PC38X and the TYGR 300r. I have heard both have a better soundstage than the Maxwell making them more immersive in that aspect. Out of the two, which would be the best for my use case? I am not planning on getting an amp or dac so the headphones would be plugged into my mobo or PS5 controller. I can maybe try getting a mod mic for the TYGR too since it doesn't have a mic. The only thing is that it can sometimes be noisy in the house + I don't like that there's sound bleed with open-back headphones. I'm wondering if I should still get one of the open-backs so I can have a better soundstage.
Should I get the TYGR 300r or PC38X, or just go with the Audeze Maxwell?
hi still own all 3 of those right now, I would say PC38x for sure over the tygr 300r. The PC38x certainly has more soundstage and open type of sound over the Maxwell. The Maxwell is a safer bet with isolating sound and it also has more bass quantity too
@@ryanhostudio Hello. Thank you for the response. I also forgot to mention that I will use the headset for both watching movies and listening to music occasionally. Does that influence your pick at all between the headphones? Thanks.
@@gundamx13a76 it does not the pc38x is a very well tuned headphone and so is maxwell for both purposes
Hello RH. i bought the maxwell for my dad and i agree with all your statements, they’re great. i’m curious have you ever seen or tried the audeze LCD GX? they seem like a more high end choice still centered around gaming somehow. (the microphone) I ordered them yesterday hoping to get an even better headset from the same company. Do you think i’ll get quality a little better than the Maxwell with more soundstage and airiness?
@@josha8715 hi i think because the lcd-gc is open back your naturally going to get more soundstage and airiness out of it so that’s an accurate assessment. I noticed that when i compared it to the mm-100
Hey Ryan awesome review! My Maxwell's were having the same volume issue so i found a fix and it worked for me. There's a volume bug on windows, where sometimes the windows driver became quiet. reinstall the driver by going to:
Device Manager -> Sounds, video and game controller -> double click Game-Audeze Maxwell -> Driver -> Update Driver -> Browse my computer for drivers -> Let me pick from a list of available driver on my computer -> Double click USB Audio Device
I also restarted my pc afterwards. This increased my volume by 40% and i can't listen over 80% volume or i'll it will destroy my ear drums lol Hope this works for you!
thank you!
You should try the HD 490 Pro, I think it might top your list for the best gaming headphones according to what others have been saying.
potentially it looks like it has angled drivers. But the HD 490 pro is $400, much more expensive then epos h6 pro or sennheiser hd 560s or even audeze maxwell
Hows the hd 490 pros are they good for ps5 too? do i need a dac like fioo k11? Are they better than audeze maxwell or?
I spend 12 hours a day in front of my desk, I'm using CM MH751 which are really lightweight but wired, I'd like to swap to a wireless device without losing on audio quality, I'm interested in Maxwells but I'm really really worried of the weight and comfort for 12 hours sessions with these. Have you ever used them for that long?
@@Arvi_The_Clown yes they will get heavy for 12 hours something lighter weight like epos pc38x is better
@@ryanhostudio Thanks a lot for the reply, what would you recommend for immersive/single player gaming and movies but wireless? I care for sound quality and comfort mostly.
steelseries arctis nova pro is pretty good and light
I'm a bit confused. At roughly 7:35 You talk about a headphone being better for story single player gaming while holding the Maxwell but motioning your hand over the MM100s.
Which one was better for that use case? haha
i was referring to the maxwell lol
have you tried using eq for the maxwell? I found some people on reddit said that they use steelseries sonar eq and it can even beat the h6pro in the imaging
theres literally footsteps EQ for maxwell and it actually helps for valorant, i just dont like to change mine when im playing music and gaming cause im lazy lol
I want to buy a headset for gaming and watching movies and series. I don’t care about the price. What matters to me is the quality of the sound and enjoyment. What do you advise me?
if you REALLYT don't care about price I personally use the Abyss Diana MR....but if you do than audeze maxwell lol
Audeze Maxwell 100%
Hi I've had the audeze maxwell since day one and I regret buying it haven't used it in 4 months it's too too too too heavy for every day usage I play 6 to eight hours a day if you want the best and don't need a mic save your money and try the hifiman arya organic they sound better than any gaming headphones and the comfort is second to none they been my every day driver stay safe and happy gaming to all
glad you found your favorite headphone! the arya organic is much more expensive than the maxwell
time to hit the gym
@@xynces.Lwearing Maxwell's is already pumping up your neck
@@VoyagerEugen lol
Sounds like you’ve never worn a hard hat…
The maxwells are terrible dude, dont buy this garbage. Just google audeze maxwell issues. They break easily, the audio is terrible compared to the penrose. It has alot of audio issues. The sound stage feels like it missing sounds. The bass is terrible and the mids and highs sound like ur hearing it thru a tin can. Dont waste ur money!
