Xbox version came in for me today. I’ll post some more thorough impressions another time but what I can confirm is that it works with PS5 when the dongle is in PC mode. For some reason it doesn’t work when the dongle is plugged directly in to the USB-C port at the front of the console, but works when you use the regular USB port with the included A to C adapter (as you do on Xbox).
No perceptible difference in audio quality or peak volume from what I could ascertain. Functionally it seems to act exactly as Penrose X did on Playstation as I anticipated.

Open backs are inherently superior to closed backs. Closed backs are good because they block off exterior noise and also you don't leak lots of sound where it would not be polite to. If you have a place at home where you can chill out and listen to a good pair of open backs on a decent DAC and amp you will be in heaven. I have both those cans you mentioned, they are both amazing. If I had to pick one if you had a gun to my head, I'd probably pick the LCD-X but everybody is different. The LCD-X are more impactful and the 109Pro are more airy compared to those for example. Glad to have both as each has it's place and time.
Are you using this on warzone 2....I'm trying just haven't got it right yetThanks to you I created my custom EQ. That keeps me banging my head! Any less bass is not enough bass even though I'm not a basshead.
The pre-defined EQs just sound meh.

Wow. So the volume problem seems specific to the PS5 version?

I’m not sure. Maxwell perhaps doesn’t hit the same peak volume as Penrose, but there’s no way I’d be able to run it at 100% with any level of comfort.

I have the PS version and I use it with a Steamdeck, Android, wired with one PC and with the dongle on another PC, and it's much louder than I would ever go. Maybe the issue is with the PS itself (which I don't have), but not sure.
Same as a lot of others have commented I'm on ps5 an have volume around 65-75%...wouldn't be to loud at max on some games would be about right but warzone for instance shakes my head at 100
I wouldn't say so. on PS5 I measured about 100dB at peak with max output playing just TLOU remastered. I even had a second where it could have been a glitch in my meter but there was a spike at 110dB. That's dangerous levels of volume output right there.

My friend has both versions and he says the volume is identical on both versions.
So, 7 days of normal use for me on the Maxwell, with pretty much a gaming session of at least 4-5 hrs every night, plus some music listening. Probably 40-50hrs of usage I think.
Battery is at 49%. Bloody awesome
I was thinking I'd probably need to charge once a week but I could probably get the best part of 2 weeks usage of of these.
