Maxwell 2 vs Maxwell 1; A/B testing impressions

PS5 pro owner, I'm in need of a headset. Any advice?

The Pulse Elite do not have that good of sound quality come on now. I will never understand why people even bother bringing that up when it sounds mid. The Sony Inzone Earbuds tho, now THATS actual peak earbud quality. Shame both of those have rather awful drawbacks tho
