Not trying to dismiss what is clearly widespread unanimous opinion based on this thread, but I am curious what your guy's audio settings are in-game? I have none of these issues at all. I use the Dolby Atmos spatial audio setting combined with the Headphones audio mix option and everything is crysta

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

Really triggered by the word “Buddy”, huh? Something tells me that even if you were to realize that the conversation was about the Maxwell 1 and not the Maxwell 2(which currently allows rollbacks) you wouldn’t admit to making a mistake.

Starting point of flat: Want more sub? add +3 dB to 30 and 60hz. Want less harshness, remove 4dB from 4khz. These are highly tuned headphones. Flat is a fine EQ to run with. They need no boosting in the highs, as they are tuned to already be hyped in the highs. See these measurements: https://images

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
