"The comfort out of the box is perfect. It's solid and feels like it will last a long time. The audio is beyond anything else I have owned and my previous headset was the arctis pro that my dog chewed up. Also owned corsairs and nothing compares to these. My only complaint is how easy some of the buttons on the headset are to hit and change the settings. I accidentally will turn off features from barely brushing the headset."
"I’ve owned a lot of gaming headsets over the years, and the Maxwell 2 is easily the best I’ve ever used. The sound quality is outstanding. Whether I’m gaming, listening to music, or watching movies, the audio is incredibly detailed and immersive. The planar magnetic drivers deliver a level of clarity and depth that I haven’t experienced with any other wireless headset. Battery life is phenomenal. I rarely have to think about charging it, which is a huge improvement over many wireless headsets I’ve owned in the past. The build quality feels premium and durable, and the comfort is excellent for long gaming sessions. The microphone quality is also very good, making communication clear and natural. What impressed me most is that this headset isn’t just a great gaming headset—it’s a genuinely great set of headphones. Music sounds fantastic, and it has become my go-to audio device for almost everything. Audeze has created something special with the Maxwell 2. Highly recommended for anyone looking for top-tier wireless audio quality."
"Die Qualität ist – genau wie schon beim Vorgänger – absolut top. Bei meinem Maxwell 1 ist der Rahmen gebrochen und Audeze hat mir das Headset völlig unkompliziert gegen ein Maxwell 2 ausgetauscht, obwohl ich nicht einmal eine Rechnung vorlegen konnte. Der Kundensupport ist wirklich vorbildlich: Kontakt innerhalb weniger Minuten, freundlich, lösungsorientiert und absolut kulant. So stellt man sich Service im Premium‑Segment vor. Ganz klare Empfehlung. Kauft es euch!"
"I have both the Maxwell 1 and 2. One of the gripes I have with both is you can’t choose between the dongle connection or Bluetooth if both are connected at the same time. It defaults to the dongle. So I was excited when the new version came out for the upgrades, but also having an extra headset for a separate Bluetooth connection. Overall, both headsets sound awesome, but I was a tad disappointed in the comfort department. I expected the new version to be more comfortable, but in my opinion they are less comfortable and is the reason for four stars instead of five. It looks like they tried to make the pads have a larger opening to be more over-ear, but it resulted in the pads being thinner in both width and depth. I’m more aware of the clamping pressure and overall just aren’t as comfortable for longer sessions."
"Everything is on Point, it's good fabricated and the Soundquality is great. It could be a little bit louder."
"Bought it on first day. dont make the same mistake then me. its bugged. random disconects from the dongle. sounds out of no where when no sound is playing. the hissing in the background makes me crazy. random piep sounds im very disappointed and now i must pay 20$ to send it back thank u audeze"
"Heavy to hold but not heavy to wear (interestingly enough). Havent had any issues with the weight after wearing them for 8 hours straight. They sound great, even though i havent had the chance to mess with the eq settings for xbox. My online friends say the mic works great as well which is the main reason i blew so much $$ for this headset. I have a return order in works for this headset cuz i cant decide between keeping it or returning it so i can just do a complex (annoying) sep fifine microphone/headphones setup. leaning towards keeping these tho since my microphone sounds gooood. I have a week or two to decide!"
"When I got them after waiting for a while I really wasn't a fan. . I was hearing a static popping noise, then put in for a return on them. I tried them again with a different way to connect the dongle (using the adapter) and sure enough. Fixed the issue(connection issue). After this newest update they are incredible sound even better than before. I do recommend them."
"Awesome sound, and the newest patch really makes this headset shine even more! Audeze did an awesome job of hearing out the consumer complaints when this headset was first released. Thank you for putting us first!"
"These headphones have excellent sound. Watching movies and playing games is a pure joy. But unfortunately, no sound quality can save headphones that are impossible to wear. I can excuse the weight, and I can excuse the lack of simultaneous Bluetooth and dongle audio. But I cannot justify these incredibly uncomfortable and terrible earpads. Sitting in them is impossible. They are so wide that the headphones slide around on your head, yet so shallow that your ears press and rub against the driver's back wall. After just 30 minutes, you just want to take them off. And there is no alternative available for them. I have never seen earpads this uncomfortable in any headphones, even the cheapest ones."
