"The best feature for me is the dual-channel integration on PC. By setting up the dedicated default channels for communication and media, I can seamlessly run work calls while keeping low background music playing. The physical game/chat mix control makes it incredibly easy to balance the two on the fly without minimizing my windows."
"I really love to wear the headset. The sound is crisp and clear, and I can perfectly hear every footstep. And ANC makes the room really quiet"
"Every headset I owned previous to this one was within that $70- $100 range for about the past 15 - 20 years. My most recent pair that I just replaced being the Logitech G432's. I had some extra cash and decided to try these because I heard that these were the best headsets for the price. I wasn't sure what to expect but the two things that surprised me was the clarity and the impact. I went from hearing game sounds to feeling like I was actually standing right there with everything happening around me. I was actually laughing because of just how much better these headsets are compared to what I was used to. For example, I play an FPS called Escape from Tarkov and I played the Arena version and when bullets were flying and hitting metal right next to me, instead of just registering that this was happening, it was like I could feel the impact of the bullets hitting the metal as if I was standing directly next to it. It is such an awesome thing to experience. I did not realize this was even a thing with audio, at least to this extent. These headsets have proven to me that these Maxwell 2 ANC headsets do provide a different experience not accessible through headsets in the $70- $100 range. In fact, my wife bought some headsets that were $170 and I tested these as well. This shocked me the most because, I expected my wife's to be closer in quality but, it wasn't even close. The Maxwell 2 ANC headset made hers look just as bad as my $70-$100 ones which is impressive. The Maxwell 2 ANC headset just provides a combination of clarity and impact that just blows everything out of the water that I've experienced. The unfortunate thing now is, I can't go back (if I can help it). I will now always need this level of audio quality or better. So, both thank you and screw you Audeze for that! I'm also thankful you didn't just end up sending me a code for some digital headsets with a revocable license considering you're owned by Sony. Hopefully you keep up the good work and continue providing this level of audio quality to your headsets. Btw, I've heard a lot about the weight of these headsets from reviewers, I personally don't notice the weight and these are very comfortable for me. I was very athletic as a kid / teen and have a bigger frame so, if you're a smaller person maybe this has an impact on you."
"The headphones I've used!!!"
"Love this one"
