What does "improved soundscapes" mean on the Pro?

The site posted is not an Official Sony website. Have you seen this noted anywhere by Sony? As far as the Tempest 3D Audio or any features that have been marketed this generation I would take them with a grain of salt.

I Just bought the Audeze maxwell 2's and I was so hyped up but I now have a lot of questions...

Regarding them not sounding any different than previous, cheaper having headphones, I'd suggest testing them back to back if you still have any around. You should be able to hear the difference then. For instance, I've been pretty happy with my Sony Pulse Elite on the PS5 and they sound decent enoug

Help me pick the best of the sub 200 bunch pls :)

the the good sound quality out of equation and for less money you got Sony Pulse Elite, it's also the best one for gaming by far in $200 range, for $400 the Beyerdynamic Aventho 300 comes kinda close it still sounds decent, way better than Razer, Logitech, Astro, maybe on par with that Steelseries
