Nova Pro Wired is an OK headset. Wireless is the same but loses some volume due to it being used as wireless. It has the best feature set (like simultaneous BT) and some people like the EQ profiles that Sonar provides. However, when I tried those EQ profiles they were too sharp and treble heavy for

I use an Audeze Maxwell (gen 1) when I'm at home. It's a pretty good all rounder for an over ear headset. I use it for gaming, listening to music, watching movies, etc. I had to replace the ear pads with more premium sheepskin ones from Dekoni Audio in order to make them more comfortable for extende

I've had the original maxwell since release no problems did switch out for some wicked cushions after the leather started falling off and got too squishy. Dont drop them. I had an audeze penrose before and they broke from a 1 foot drop

Audeze Maxwells are really heavy. Built like a tank. Still usable. Blackshark v3 pro has a really good mic. Sound is decent too.

Ive the Arcts Pro wired version and the sidetone is perfect. I still use that headset for Apex Legends as the DAC eq is dialled in perfectly for it. I just this week went and bought a Beyerdynamic MMX 330 pro and dac ( all in about 400 bucks) and they blow the Maxwells out of the water on the main f

I literally did the same thing as you. The Audeze are cheaper, sound better, and are more comfortable. The Arctic elites were lighter, had better mic, fantastic ANC, great build quality, and supported simultaneous bluetooth (probably the biggest advantage that the Arctic Elites have over the Maxwell

В итерес на истината, първите Audeze Maxwell( gaming set) слушалки купих от Киров. Понеже съм карък, оказаха се дефектни! Дамата беше много готина и след, като тествахме с нея слушалките и тя се съгласи, че е производствен дефект веднага ми ги замениха с нови! Проблемът беше, че нямаха налични и тря

I havent had any Audeze myself, but I read a lot about them as I am considering the Maxwell 2.The built quality apparently is solid, just dont drop them because if you do, they will break. But otherwise, they are kinda fragile and I read a lot of people's Maxwell 1 + 2 breaking and or having defects

They are vastly superior to Fiio FT1 in details, have better bass quality and extension. The downside is that they might reveal production defects, might sound unnatural in some occasions and some dirty bass techno sounds harsh on them (Randomer - Flooring is an example). Fiio FT1 hides those defect
