You wearing spectacles?

From a music listening point of view, has anyone compared the Maxwell to the Audeze LCD-i3 (using the Cipher V2 lightning cable). I know this is an open back IEM, but it’s sound is more inline with a full sized headphone so I feel it is a legitimate comparison. The other planar headphone I own...

Fair points. Let me state first and foremost, I am a big fan of your headphones and brand, I was just taken aback by all the reports of issues here and on Reddit. This headset costs the equivalent of $390 if I convert my local currency to dollars, so I started feeling like perhaps I should hold...

I feel like this headset was rushed out in a horribly unpolished state. So many people with software and firmware issues. Owners are basically paying to be beta testers. I’ve decided not to buy right now, such a pity as this would’ve been my daily driver for work, music, and occasional Xbox...

No I’m using the Cipher V2 Cable on my iPhone. It worked well before today’s update. Regarding your statement about not commenting on a potential open back Maxwell - 100% understood. Thanks for your responses.

Good day @Audeze I’m in South Africa and a local retailer is awaiting stock of the Xbox variant. I have a couple of questions I’d appreciate being answered before I pull the trigger. 1. The software/firmware issues, are we still in a situation where there are issues Headset/Dongle/PC etc...

Send me a screenshot of your EQ?

Honestly, you will need to add a few DBs to the bass frequencies using the Audeze HQ iOS app to really get that sub bass to come through strong. I added +5db to 32hz, +4db to 64hz, +2db to 125hz, +1db to 250hz. The other frequency ranges were left untouched. I saved this to Preset 1 and left...

For me, the Cipher V2 cable sounds a LOT better than the BT adapter. So I hardly ever use the BT option... You‘ll spend a few days going back and forth between them but I pretty much guarantee that you will eventually stick with the wired connection and leave it like that. Let me know how you...

The pins are dainty, but if you’re careful you should be fine. If you are swapping connections often, wear and tear will probably become a problem over time, as with anything.

General discussion/observations: So a little over two weeks have passed now since receiving my LCDi3s, and I’ve had some time to play around with these headphones. For my ears, I needed to adjust the EQ to boost the bass frequencies a little bit, while leaving the midrange and treble...

Update, this version of the EQ is more “balanced”

So I tried messing about with EQ and wanted to come up with a Preset that gives bass more presence without messing with the mids and treble, as these are areas that I am already happy with. The screenshot of my EQ attached gives me a nice warm deep bass effect to EDM and Rock music. Any...

Interesting observation... I initially installed the small sized smooth ear tips. I then swapped them out for the small sized grooved ear tips and felt that the bass was better. Today, I tried the medium grooved ear tips and now everything seems a little bit more vivid - very subtle but...

Is the Audeze HQ app installed on the 6s? I suspect that the wrong EQ profile some how got loaded onto the Cipher cable? Happened to me when switching to iPad Pro. I installed the Audeze app and hit the “reset” button and the sound came right.
