I did a few days of research before purchasing Maxwell 2s. I used daily Beoplay Portals with my Xbox Series X for a couple years. The Maxwell 2s are beyond them in many ways. The bass actually hurts my ears in the Maxwell 2s when I use the app to increase it. I like listening to these completely flat with the Audeze recommended setting. I have owned Sony Xb700s and XB1000s. I used an amp with the XB1000s for about a month. They were exceptional, but I also might be deaf if I hadn’t sold them. I really enjoyed listening to Dubstep with them. I think the Maxwell 2s have a different bass, almost like pressure but not the pressure that comes from a big subwoofer. It’s like a more natural pressure that almost feels like it pushes more realistically but not in a boomy way like Skull crushers that vibrate your head. I also have a pair of those in the ANC variety. The clarity and detail the Maxwell 2s have is almost uncanny, especially when playing games like Counterstrike 2.
If you like bass, there really is no other option than Crushers. As to which model (Evo/540-Active or ANC) I don't see the point of ANC on these, the music will do the work of obscuring the exterior noise for you. I use the ANC on my Method 360s, and it's mid-tier at best. I'd get the Crushers without.
Skull candy anc crushers!!! Great for bass and amazing for noise canceling. I go running and i hear NOTHINNNGGGGGGGG!!!
Love my skullcrusher anc 1 (on my second pair) by skullcandy. But anything with sony 360 capability plus a music streaming platform that can deliver the highest quality audio will give you insane results.
I second Crushers bc I love having a SUBWOOFER in my fucking ears, esp since it’s ADJUSTABLE. I mostly listen to tearout, riddim, deathcore, and hardcore on them. I’ll def bump some dnb, techno, and house soon.
If you want rattle your brain bass then you don’t have to spend much. Skullcandy ANC Crushers
Honestly if you want head rattling bass then you have to at least give skull candy crushers a try and they are cheap. I use them for workouts because nothing comes close to pumping me up
yeah i don't think i'll ever use Sennheiser for the gym with some of the stories you get here. i just got skull candy crushers on sale from amazon with cooling ear pads you can find on there and those have been great. i honestly don't care how i treat them, i just toss them in my bag without a case and are still going strong 3 years now. I'm quick to replace them if they go bad at all but they still keep on trucking for some reason haha.
