the Audeze Maxwell line is genuinely in a different class from most gaming headsets, especially if you care about durability, long sessions, and sound quality. Given my preferences for sturdy, comfortable, long-lasting headsets, the Maxwell II seems like a very strong fit because it combines: 1). Planar magnetic drivers, which usually give cleaner detail, tighter bass, and lower distortion than typical dynamic-driver gaming headsets. 2). Long battery life, which is a major quality-of-life upgrade. 3). Low-latency wireless support, useful for gaming without feeling disconnected from the action. 4). A more premium build, which matches anyone's preference for durable gear rather than lightweight plastic headsets. Good comfort for extended use, especially if you do not mind headset weight as much as long-term sturdiness and comfort. (for me, I don't notice weight, they feel pretty good for me). 5). Compared to other headset brands, the Maxwell II is more of a high-end audiophile/gaming hybrid: better sound resolution, stronger bass control, and a more premium overall feel. There is still solid mainstream gaming headset, but it is a matter of personal preference, but the Maxwell II is the kind of headset that can make music, movies, and games all feel noticeably upgraded.

I just bought it and upgraded from a Corsair virtuoso headset and in terms of sound as a layman person I think it is much better and I don't have any connectivity problems. I really enjoy the rich base which I thought I was getting from the Corsair but it's much clearer on this one. The headset construction is pretty heavy and feels sturdy and awesome but it's not something I would call light. I personally don't find it burdensome and I have a big head and most of the way is equally distributed across the flexible band and not just the actual bar of the headset so you're not going to get a indent. No one has complained about my mic and I really like it, if I'm being nitpicky it doesn't really like to say perfectly in one spot but that doesn't seem to affect anything and I don't really find it falling down I just have to fiddle with it sometimes. The software is awesome and refined, I don't know how to put it but it doesn't seem gimmicky or colorful it's just exactly what it's supposed to be. There is no hardware noise canceling but they utilize AI combined with the ample cushy cups that go over your ear I can hardly hear anything which is my goal so that's awesome. You can also set it up to take in sound and hear more if you would like. Tldr: it's a weighty headset with refined crisp audio that sounds deeper and richer than my previous Corsair virtuoso. It doesn't feel cheap at all and I don't have any connection issues. The range is also really good on the Bluetooth if that matters to you.

I picked these up specifically for Arc Raiders. Originally I was going to grab the original Maxwell, but the buzzing sidetone issue on the first version is well documented, and when I saw the Maxwell 2 had just launched with that addressed, I jumped. Here’s how it went. Starting with the good, because there’s a lot of it. The build quality is fantastic. Real metal throughout, and it feels like a piece of gear you could hand down to your grandkids. Sound quality is genuinely audiophile level. For online shooters, the separation is some of the best I’ve heard, full stop. Footsteps, directional cues, gunfire, voice chat, nothing ever gets muddled even when a fight gets chaotic. The earcups are huge and actually cup my ears rather than squishing them, which contributes to that sense of open space around the sound. You know the feeling, where the audio has room to breathe. Mic quality is excellent too, and the 2.4 GHz dongle paired with my PS5 Pro without any hassle. Non-negotiable feature for me, and it works flawlessly. Now the problems. That beautiful metal construction comes with a cost. These things are heavy. Boat anchor heavy. Within 30 minutes of putting them on, my neck and the top of my head were genuinely sore. I’ve seen the photos of people whose skulls have been reshaped by headset abuse over years, and I started to feel like mine was getting a head start after one gaming session. The widened headband helps with distribution, but it doesn’t change the fundamental physics of strapping over half a kilogram to your skull. No active noise cancellation, just passive isolation. I didn’t need cancellation, but worth knowing if you’re shopping. The thing I couldn’t get past was the sidetone. Because they isolate so well without actively canceling, you get that “voice in your own head” sensation when you talk. I updated firmware, cranked sidetone to max in the app, tried every configuration I could find. It was still quiet and muffled compared to what I wanted. On top of that, whatever is happening in the mic pickup puts a heavy emphasis on “S” sounds specifically. Every word with an S in it got fed back into my ears louder than the rest of my voice, and it made me weirdly self-conscious about how I was pronouncing things. You don’t realize how often you say S sounds until you’re hearing every single one of them bounce back at you. Normally I could live with imperfect sidetone, but I’m on prox chat and in coop voice constantly with friends, and hours of sibilant self-monitoring drove me up a wall. These are also pricey, which stings more when the headset ends up back in the box. I ended up swapping them for an even pricier option that was a very slight audio downgrade but came with actual noise cancellation, far better sidetone, and a dramatically lighter frame. For pure sound quality on a short listening or solo gaming session, the Maxwell 2 is genuinely extraordinary. For multi-hour coop with heavy voice chat, the weight and sidetone made them a nonstarter for me. Your mileage will vary depending on how you play and how much you talk. If only the sidetone was better, I’d honestly have pushed past the weight and head pain for the audio quality. Not a bad headset. Just not the right one for my specific setup.

So far this has been the best wireless headset I have ever owned. I usually use wired Sennheisers with an expensive dac but this works so good and sounds very close to my Sennheiser headphones. Only thing that's the downside with these is that they are Heavy but that shows how well built they are aswell

Glitchy as heck and wouldn’t connect to my PS5. It kept losing connectivity. I also couldn’t use it with my Samsung smart TVs. Apparently the Maxwell is too high end for them and the sound was spotty and sucked. The base was weak too for such huge drivers. It’s back on its way as a return to the Amazon seller!

After EQ, the sound and spatial immersion this headset provides you is jaw dropping. I play on PC and PS and have tried most of the top rated headsets. As soon as I strapped on the Maxwells, I was blown away. Small details in the game come alive. Throughout chaos you can hear every detail. During quiet moments, sounds have dimensionality and immersion that I haven’t heard before on any headphones. They fixed the side tone static from gen 1. Side tone is now excellent. The headset is slightly heavier but more comfortable because of the design updates. The object separation is much better on the Maxwell 2. Well worth the update over gen 1. 10/10!

These headphones are extremely dissatisfying for both the price and the specs. I am returning my pair as I write this as the headset has numerous issues. Chief among these issues is that the headset actively, and constantly produces a "hissing" and beeping sound at ALL TIMES when the pair are on. It is impossible make it go away. Audeze stated it would get better with firmware updates but that is not acceptable. Even after updating them they continued to make the noise. What's worse is that the hissing is audible above the level of some games and videos sound floor. Meaning while watching a movie you can still hear it. Secondly, the pair have very low bass output for such a large pair of headphones, and Mids sound almost distant without extensive tuning. But the lack of any form of punch in the bass is the largest issue. And no matter what I did in the software, its not fixable. According to Audeze its a trade off of having planar drivers, however its just a huge let down. Both of these larger issues led to me returning my unit. I really wish they didn't have these two issues, otherwise I would have kept them. The build quality is awesome and they're very comfy. If they could fix the hissing noise, then i could live with the lack of punchy mid-bass. I guess I'm going back to my Corsair Virtuoso XT set for now.

The headphones themselves feel amazing and are top tier materials. You can hear very well and this is used on PS5 pro. The battery life going on 3 weeks and we still haven’t charged them when after 2 sessions I’d have to charge the trashy Sony headphones up. You have a full eq with these and you don’t need the mic boom for voice chat to be clear and precise. They are just a very comfortable set of cams with great range. I a side note, I also thought the seller was good but it was fulfilled by Amazon and two arrived scuffed and amazons trash customer service off shore was a joke. We even ordered another pair for Xbox and after 14 days were told by the seller Amazon had screwed up the fulfillment and again Amazon did nothing. So we cancelled the order and ordered directly from the manufacturer and it’s getting ready to ship only hours after ordering. Buy these, you won’t regret it. Just don’t get them from Amazon unless you enjoy needles hassle, damaged products, and lengthy excuses from someone who can barely speak your language. Shame on you Amazon. No one cares there anymore and we are spreading the word to many others o. Many other outlets about buying elsewhere. We challenge you to actually care about your customers.
