"Pretty good headset for gaming and also hearing footsteps on fps games. Only use the headset for shooting games. Only reason for me not giving it a 5 start is due to the connection sometimes it disconnects randomly ans re connects by its self. Headset is on it latest software so for sure it not that or dont know if I just got a bad reciver"
"I got these headphones a little over a month ago and I think they are great. I use them when I play Hunt Showdown and the audio quality is just superb. I was worried about the weight and overall comfort of wearing them considering reviews I had seen about the previous iteration but I have no complaints, they are pretty comfortable and the adjustable head strap keeps it on my head well enough."
"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."
"Just the build quality alone is reason to upgrade. The sound and connectivity features are fantastic. I've listened to Us and Them by Pink Floyd on less expensive but still good headphones and the Maxwell 2 is another level. I can hear the instrument separation of the bass and piano during the chorus intros. They sound like two instruments harmonizing instead pf a single bassy piano. The only tradeoffs are the weight and they get a little warm quickly if your body temp runs hot. I'll take that for the metal construction and ANC feature."
"I bought the Xbox version of this headset. I use it for gaming, listening to music, and listening to audio on my laptop. By far the best headset I've ever bought. The battery life is incredible. I love the magnetic ear cups and the aluminum yokes. The headset feels solid and durable. It has the best audio quality and mic quality I've ever heard. 10/10. Would definitely recommend for serious gamers and audiophiles."
"I bought Maxwell 2 months ago, so far, I’ve been enjoying it. But I had a problem with the microphone. on Xbox The microphone wasn’t working. Even I even unplugged the microphone and re-plugged it, and it’s still wasn’t working. The only way how I fix the bug it’s by plugging in the microphone and turning off the headset, then, after that, unplug USB Dongle from the Xbox and plug it back in and turn on the headset back on. That’s how I fixed that bug. V1. 0. 2. 60. 2"
"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."
"Got it mostly due to the fact these are one of the few high quality headsets which actually use PS5 software, but these are amazing for anything"
"I am truly impressed with the sound quality ! It exceeded my expectations!"
"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!"
