No reduced weight or simultaneous BT! Audeze your so out of touch. This doesn't feel much like a maxwell upgrade more like a refresh.

Mae si quiere algo bravo para jugar y comodo, fijese en los Audeze Maxwell yo los tuve y son una maravilla, pero como siempre vea videos en youtube, vea la comodidad y el peso a ver si le gustan

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 was first hoping to get Scape for myself as it sounds way more friendly to audiophile side, but that clamp force really looks uncomfortable + they're not available where I live, and importing price goes way above Audeze prices, which at that point I'll just buy Maxwell 2. Scape is a great headset

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'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

I have no experience with the A50, so unfortunately I can't give a recommendation here. What I can say is that both of the Scape/CloudX are excellent, and you're unlikely to get much better sound quality. If you're stretching your budget, also look at the Audeze Maxwell. I found it to have slightly

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

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
