Audeze Maxwell Wireless Gaming Headset for Xbox & Windows

Product Information

There are no plans to offer a specific case at this point in time, however, Maxwell will fit standard and premium LCD cases. The Audeze Maxwell is less of the old-school Audeze in-house sound that I have come across years ago and more of their newer mid-forward, bloomed and engaging sound. The scurrying of the spiders around the next upcoming corner literally sent shivers up my spine. Flying my Night Dancer Broom under moonlight with the Maxwells on allowed for a sense of immersion I never experienced in my living room before. The wind was blowing my hair, the 360 degree-ness of what you can hear and just how every detail can be heard as well as felt, made a fantasy game about witches and wizards into a quasi hyper-realistic experience. In not so emotional terms: We have to talk about how heavy these are and if that matters to gamers who game for half the day. Can I wear them that long? No, I cannot. 490g is fairly heavy.

I wonder how these would sound fully open? In my opinion, the treble needs to breathe a bit more, and make the FPS pinpointing in shooters online feel a bit more natural than it portrays it. Are the headsets cross compatible with the dongles (will PS dongle work on Xbox headset and vice versa)?Play confidently with reliable stability and 3X the range versus standard 2.4GHz wireless, keeping you in sync with the action on-screen. Enjoy lossless-quality high-resolution audio with the latest in wirelesstechnology, compatible with LC3plus, LE Audio, and LDAC. Switch seamlessly between multiple devices with Bluetooth Multipoint. For most head shapes and sizes, as long as you don’t need both sides to be on the lowest screws (which maximizes size for the biggest heads), the headband will be suspension style. Do note that while we try to accommodate all head shapes and sizes, there are some limits to the design of any headphone, and some touching of the headband might occur on larger adjustments and larger heads. The Audeze Maxwell Wireless are impressive planar magnetic gaming headphones. They're also some of the best gaming headphones we've tested to date. When we published our review on April 24th, 2023, we observed the conversation surrounding our review, including Audeze's public response to our measurements, which caused doubt in our results. However, after reviewing all the comments, we launched an extensive investigation; our goal wasn't to prove that our measurements were correct but to find out how this product truly performs. In the case of excellent metal build top to bottom, the Maxwell might have been more well suited to be half metal, half plastic, to reduce the excessive weight. The bass is boomy when it needs to be and the sub-bass is colossal. Gunshots, explosions & footsteps are more realistic than ever before. There are actual textural details that can be heard (and felt!) with said impacts, explosions and things such as your character interacting with inanimate objects.

Xbox: Maxwell Xbox is still pending Microsoft's final approval, but we're pressing as hard as we can to make that happen soon. Maxwell has a brand new driver design that was based on the original Mobius/Penrose design and is going to have a similar sonic signature.Is the Aux/3.5mm connection passive? Will it work like a normal headset without the unit being powered on? Of course, it isn’t an open headphone, so it doesn’t breathe as nicely and doesn’t move as much air. But, for a closed model, the spaciousness is very appreciated.
