The Audeze Maxwell are perhaps the best gaming headphones you can buy right now. Get a pair yesterday.

Yeah I was also eyeing Maxwells when I was first doing research but Audeze products are waaay too expensive here. Maxwell 2 is still not available, and 1 costs over $470 on biggest discount, with regular price being $1160.

Yeah I upgraded from my Arctis Nova 7x's. Nothing wrong with those and I loved them. Even had Wicked Cushions freeze pads which were amazing. Just saw that Audeze was offering no interest on the Maxwell 2's and had always wanted to try a quality planar magnetic headset. I'd previously eyed the Penro

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 was massively disappointed with the Elites. The fact the just expect you to open Sonar or the companion app and use a preset that’s been tuned for the Nova 5 £100 headset, and expect it to work fine with pleather pads, a completely different stock tuning and carbon fibre drivers, is hilariously ba

Cloud 3 S is goated at the price. I bought the Wicked Cushions StealthZ pads in collab with gadgetry tech and any minor complaint I had for pads is gone. 81$ headset (for me) plus 25$ pads = bliss. Next up is Audeze Maxwell 2. I use both but right now the Maxwell 2 is owning my wireless space.

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 feel you on wanting something that matches the nova pros. that dac is hard to beat but you've got options. the EPOS H6 Pro closed back has excellent clarity and a solid mic for around $180. if you want that dac experience again the Audeze Maxwell is incredible but slightly over budget at $300. ano
