Maxwell (PlayStation Version)

I use them daily for gaming since release date, don't remember exactly - 2 years or so. Earpads are still like new! Believe it or not, I'm frankly impressed. Because pads on Penrose deteriorated in half a year. Maxwell's are a big step forward.

Ive had mine since they were released with zero issues and I use them daily for gaming. Absolutely phenomenal piece of equipment.

Agreed, it is a great wireless headphone, I just released a review for the maxwell actually with also a soundtest, if someone is interested to give it a listen -> [here ](https://youtu.be/xe3YKUn-AFE) Just one thing I wasn't the biggest fan of is actually the microphone, but I guess it gets the job done :)

You will love them for the music and you will love them for the music in Elden Ring. Xbox edition works on Playstation, it's kind of futureproof and works with everything. I own them for 2 almost years, limited Ultraviolet Edition (Xbox) but I'm using it for Playstation 5 and PC. I had no problems this unit but I DO HATE THE SIDETONE NOISE which Audeze does not adress at all. However, my first unit (early model of Maxwell, PS version) felt defective and I've returned it to the shop. Buy from a reputable shop that accept returns in 14 days with no reason. If you are able to get older firmware (.56 is considered the best I suppose) maybe it would be wise to not upgrade unless you have any problems. Some users reported sound profiles/lower volume they do not like in later updates. Before you update, always check if there is an option to roll that particular update back. Summary: It's much better than any dynamic drivers. It has disadvantages too. Since there is nothing better on the market I keep using my Maxwell despite sidetone noise I absolutely hate. I miss simultaneous audio too. I will leave Mawell in a heartbeat when there is other WIRELESS (important edit) gaming headset with this sound quality and without sidetone noise/with simlutaneous audio. So, you see, they are worth it but not perfect.

Sound quality wise, Audeze Maxwell. It's planar, so there is no competition.

Depends on what you want. I have Audeze Maxwell, it had the best sound possible (90mm planar drivers), decent enough mics on PS, poor additional functions (no simultaneous audio and sadly sidetone has noise), 80 hours capacity battery. Comfort is OK for me for several hours despite the headset is heavy "on the paper". It's also perfect for critical music listening and this cannot be said about any other gaming headset out there. DAC with custom profiles onboard, wireless, Xbox version works with Playstation too. I had Steelseries Wireless Pro and the sound quality was worse (dynamics drivers) than Audeze Maxwell, but it was still better than other headsets on the market. There is no perfect headset out there. Just pick what is the most important thing to you. The more expensive headsets are worth it IMO. But it depends if you are able to not break your stuff and if you can hear the difference (because some people do not really hear the difference since they cannot hear certain frekvencies so well).

Audeze Maxwell is heavy but if it fits there is no discomfort and the weight is nicely distributed. I do not mind them for 8+hours but I can't stand some other headsets for 30 minutes. It's important to realise those are not cans you take out to the gym.

Turtle Beach Stealth Pro, as far as I've heard from reviews. No personal experience, I'm using Audeze Maxwell. The best I've personally heard was some wired open back AudioTechnica. Try to take a look out of the usual gamining gear box. A good youtube channel is [GagetryTech](https://www.youtube.com/@GadgetryTech)

Is crazy this still compares to the Maxwell which is just a gaming headset. Makes the Maxwell so good for the money..just unfortunately the weight is heavy for it. But the built should be miles better than the Sens.
