"Sound is amazing, the Mic is really good for a wireless Headset and it has great Imageing. The Contact pressure of the Ear cups should be a bit tighter and the Headband a bit bigger, but other than that, great Product. Only had to charge it 3 times since I bought it in"
"My Maxwell 2 power button broke and I contacted Audeze customer service, very rapidly they contacted me and gave me instructions on how to send them to them. They received them and confirmed they received them. Within days they contacted me to tell me there were sending me new ones. Thank you for great customer service!!"
"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"
"Overall, I'm very pleased with the Maxwell 2 headset. It's definitely one of the better sounding headsets currently on the market. The weight initially worried me but this turned out to be a non issue even for very long uses. The only reason I'm not giving this a 5 star is because of the earpads that it comes with; they just weren't comfortable after an hour or so of use. They seemed a little too narrow and shallow which caused discomfort. This isn't and shouldn't be a deal breaker for folks but just be aware that some people might need to consider the fact that another 30-80ish bucks might be needed to remedy this. These can be found on Amazon and what not. I would highly recommend pulling the trigger on the Dekoni sheepskin pads and calling it a day."
"I’ve used SEVERAL pair of headphones and the Audeze are exceptional. I don’t understand the dislike on its weight, I have not once noticed it’s on my head, so to me it’s a 10/10 from watching movies/anime to listening to music to gaming. The sound is impeccable. I’m a huge gamer and the sound quality is top notch."
"This headset is perfect for an audiophile, which I am! The one complaint is that the mic isn't as high quality as you'd expect from a headset with this price point."
"im not someone who understand sound but i can tell this headset is amazing and im coming from a retired 12 year old ASUS headset dont ask how many times i had to fix it lol anyway maxwell 2 sound is spot in will like to audeze to add crossfeed audio in the app for better pinpoint i did win the hiss lottery no hiss no issues"
"Well worth the price for anyone looking to move away from the "gamer" Oriented cheap throwaway headsets, this is a well built piece of hardware with Amazing battery life, Great Sound Quality, and Good Mic Clarity. That If respected, will last a Very long time. The only downside is a side effect of the way they get the long battery life. When no sound is being played, the speaker drivers will go to sleep, and there is a small delay before they "wake up". Meaning small short sounds such as discord notifications Could get missed and not play at all, i wish they would give a toggle to disable this feature At the cost of battery life."
"One of the best companies hands down the best gaming headset I have personally heard in my life. Im not a big music guy but the only thing is I wish there was like a way to attach a subwoofer for more bass lol for Xbox anyway. ."
"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."
