I hope the day never comes that I need to replace the Maxwells, these things have been SO damn good. If I do, Audeze will be the first consideration! I don't miss the days we were all here like crackheads waiting for the next bit of info to drop, or chasing shipments :sweat_smile:

Did everyone have to re-pair their headset and dongle after the new update? I updated last night finally, and when I did a power cycle on the headset it still seemed to connect to the dongle without issue.

What I'm finding frustrating is that this is not readily communicated. It's constantly touted vaguely as 'lossless wireless' - and we keep seeing the constant 'simultaneous BT' requests coming through, because the assumption (due to the vagueness) is that the dongle utilises the 2.4ghz standard...

I've tried keeping up with the thread in recent months, noticing a lot of people having issues with sidetone (not a factor for me), but has anyone been getting audio pops? It's happened with my set only a handful of times, and I can't replicate it, but the left side very occasionally has a...

Finally got around to updating to the newest FW this weekend, must have taken 5 tries to get the Headset to update, multiple power cycles and resetting the Audeze HQ software 3 times. Also, not sure if it's just me, but the USB-C connection on the headset itself is so temperamental that even a...

@Audeze just had a read through the Toms Hardware review (https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/audeze-maxwell) Naturally, the Maxwell scores excellently, I find some of the critiques in the write-up pointless (as did the writer it seems) given that the Maxwell is not positioned as a...

Sorry for DP but couldn't get the other quote to play nice in my previous reply. I feel lucky to have gotten a Maxwell PS, I didn't pre-order until February once Audeze had confirmed enough detail, but it's fair to say that the whole launch was handled badly. I know I've banged on this drum...

It does seem like the Maxwell X orders have been handled worse than the PS model, which is a real shame for people like yourself whos been hanging on for so long!

Wow, so glad I bit the bullet and pre-ordered earlier this year, the struggle getting hold of a Maxwell is real.

Nice man, thank you for that! Now on my radar! :beyersmile:

The few times I've been connected to the Android app or HQ, can't say there has been a level of consistency. At this point, I am resigned to 'when the headset tells me, I'll charge it' :sweat_smile: Two separate notes: 1. Any luck on anyone finding a decent aftermarket solution for a case for...

No doubt man, it's totally valid to find some faults, nothing is perfect! For me, the main issue I have found so far is getting the fit right, because the band isn't fully adjustable/flexible, but I've found something that works and is giving me the experience I expected. I also don't rely on...

Have to say that whilst the wait was agonising, Maxwell has really lived up to the hype. Every time I pick them up to use them I'm impressed. Hard to pinpoint any one thing I would add/change in a gaming headset.

This might seem like a bit of a dunce question, but just so I fully understand the connection technology: Maxwell dongle is actually using the Bluetooth LE/LC3 tech, instead of 'wireless'/Wi-Fi frequency that was presumably used by the Penrose dongle. Doesn't this explain to some extent why...

Okay, so you literally just said of Audeze 'maybe you learned...' - totally appreciate your frustration, but the Mobius launched in 2018, and Penrose about 2 years later using the same physical design archetype/materials. I assume the reason for that was to get the successor to market a bit...

Yeah I've always been a huge BF fan. A friend introduced me to 1942, and since then I've been championing the series. CoD is great, but the BF experience for me is so much better overall. 2042 started out terrible, I managed to get a refund, but I recently started playing again after the class...

I might play around with the EQs later, play a game with Audeze EQ, then flip back to Immersive and see what I prefer. Do you have the in-game setting to 'Headphones' or something else like 'Home Theater'? Yeah for music I was happy to keep it cranked up, not sure if that's a discrepancy with...

Managed to have another blast with the Maxwells Friday evening, absolutely fantastic. Kept it in the immersive EQ for the duration, had a mini living room disco by myself :laughing: followed by some BF 2042 with one of my friends. Loved how it all sounded, having come from the competent but...

I'm with you on the fit, it's kind of awkward. The original setting was too big for me and my apparent pea-sized head :laughing: so I went to the lowest setting but felt the band quite tight across the top of my head after testing, so ended up settling with left-side on the middle setting and...

Holy crap that Immersive EQ is so good. Literally just playing a couple of my favourite tracks over comparing the 'Audeze' base EQ, the tracks just come alive. The base EQ is great, but Immersive is awesome. I wouldn't consider myself a big 'bass head' but being able to pick out thundering...

It has arrived! I can't believe it's real! First impressions out of the box; build quality is incredible, feels very premium! Ear cups are much better than Penrose IMO too, feels like my ears are more enveloped. Maybe I've got a pea head, had to move my band down to the lowest setting...

I don't have my Maxwell yet, and tbh haven't used my Penrose for a long while to be able to compare, but most people are saying that apart from the volume, Maxwell sounds at least as good, and in most cases better. Maxwell dongle uses a super low latency Bluetooth codec instead of the...

This place is gonna be flooded by Brits tomorrow giving our impressions :sweat_smile:

Interesting, my order is also at Gatwick MC. So, maybe I'm wrong, but HFH perhaps haven't taken physical delivery to the warehouse, and somehow processed orders direct from Gatwick? I'm assuming that's where the freight order arrived. As they're in Brighton, and we're all spread around, seems...

Swear you're the only person in the UK to have one in hand :sweat_smile:
