      Fantastic headphones

      I purchased the Maxwells from hifi headphones in December last year literally the weekend prior to Christmas, so wasn't expecting to get them before and paid for regular postage with that expectation but credit to the team they upgraded my postage to expedited express shipping and received them the next day I think it was, this was great bonus so many thanks for that.

      I thought I would have an extended period of time with the Maxwells before writing a review to give a realistic experience of having them, usage and my opinions to help any potential purchasers in their decision.

      What can I say to use the cliché sentence but these really are hands down the best gaming headset I gave ever used and by a very large margin. I have gone through untold different brands and models from the various companies and non gaming headphones as well for good measure, the Maxwells have a fantastic detailed sound quality and depth to them, my second pair of planar magnetic headset after the prior Penrose by audeze. The sound is so crisp without being harsh and fatiguing on the ears, the richness and depth of the sound, individual sounds and positioning and clarity is second to none , the deep bass that is tight and thumpy, mids compliment well with crisp highs and aforementioned bass which hit deep lows without distorting or sounding muffly/muddy, the planar drivers are different in their sound style to regular drivers but very memorable and perfectly suited to gaming.

      This is the first gaming headset which I have used more for music than gaming itself, latest version of Bluetooth at time of purchase as far I am aware and music is a joy to listen to with the various genres, you can use the phone app by Bluetooth and adjust to different profiles that are built in for more bass, highs or just a more energetic and exciting sound signature on the fly, create your own with the equaliser settings as well and save for later.

      The dongle which I used with the ps5 never gives any distortion or sound problems with the signal and I can walk around my entire house without losing connection which is incredible.

      The battery too is a huge win for me, I used them for weeks without needing to charge and the battery life is far and beyond any other headset.

      The only initial negative was the ear pads and getting used to the feel of them, I did purchase the wicked cushions headband replacement but have kept the same pads as i didn't want to change the sound in any way. these aren't the lightest headset but after some time I have worn them in and I don't even think about the comfort anymore and am very happy in that regard

      I can't praise these enough and they have been a joy to use after 9 months of regular usage. Highly recommended purchase if you are a fan of high quality sound and gaming with wireless headsets. 👍🏻

      Great headphones from a great supplier.

      Loving the Audeze Maxwell, they sound great and the battery lasts a long time. Not noticing any latency over the wireless connection and although the size adjustments aren't really quite right for my very small head the headphones are still very comfortable for long listening periods, though will probably be swapping out the cups for a different material because leather (authentic or synthetic) doesn't play well with my skin.
      My only complaint is the lack of simultaneous playback - if listening via USB dongle, you cannot answer a call or listen to another device via bluetooth at the same time. The headphones will mute whatever is playing over the dongle and prioritise bluetooth audio, which can be a little annoying with the way Apple devices very aggressively reconnect to the last used bluetooth device even when not in use.

      A to Hifiheadphones who were seemingly the only distributor with sufficient stock at the time of ordering and I had my unit 2-3 days before anyone else's listed delivery window, and it arrived in perfect condition.

      Fantastic headset and great customer service

      Had been searching for a new wireless headset for a while and finally decided on the Maxwell after trying and returning competitors Turtle Beach and Steelseries.
      The Maxwell is truly streets ahead in terms of sound quality and barring simultaneous bluetooth it does everything I need as a PC/PS5 gamer.
      If, like me, pure sound quality is the most important thing to you then the Maxwell is the one to buy 100%

      Special mention to Hifi headphones who shipped out the Maxwell the very same day and it arrived at 11am the following morning, excellent service and I'll definitely be returning in the future when it's time for something new.

      5 stars all round

      Item Not For Me But Excellent Service

      After reading reviews of the headset, I was keen to try it out as my main gaming/music device. There's no denying that the sound is excellent. It is streets ahead of other headsets and it's not even close. The depth and warmth of the sound is incredible even without EQ. The software is OK, nothing special but it is sufficient. Build quality is good but I have read about some failures of drivers/earcups. The main issue for me is the sidetone. I find it really off putting to not have this so it rules out a few headsets immediately. Whilst this headset DOES have sidetone, it appears to have a significant issue with static/white noise. Whenever it is on, you get this static that is very offputting. After reading lots of community feedback online this is a very common issue and even appears to be a hardware fault (although plenty are still waiting for a firmware fix). I simply couldn't get on with this static and have returned the headset. This is where the 5 stars comes in, however, as the team at hifi headphones were nothing short of brilliant. Answered the phone 1st time in a handful of rings. Ben was helpful and polite and organised my return really fast. Steve messaged me when the headset arrived back at head office and my refund is now being processed. Nothing over-the-top or dramatic but it's so refreshing to just get good customer service and to trade with people who 'get it'. I won't hesitate to come back to them when I need to and recommend to friends.

      Good aftersales service

      My maxwell arrived with a manufacturing defect but the guys said keep hold of them until new stock comes in. I did just that and sent them back and got a new pair a few months later. They're incredible headphones, especially with music, possibly not the best for competitive online as there's better cans for imaging but I'll take the SQ, 80 hrs wireless use and build quality over anything else for playstation, at least until Audeze and Sony come up with a collab since Sony recently bought the company. Good product. Good service.
