@Audeze - quick question. Now that the Ultraviolet stock seems to be shipping out do you know if stock for overseas orders (in particular for UK official retailer) has been made available? TIA
UV orders for dealers have all been shipped out or should mostly all be gone within the next few days. So expect them in the next coming weeks.@Audeze - quick question. Now that the Ultraviolet stock seems to be shipping out do you know if stock for overseas orders (in particular for UK official retailer) has been made available? TIA

I've had both the Maxwell and Deva Pro (wireless) for some time now. My use cases for them are quite different though so it's not really an apples to apples comparison. The Maxwell i typically use for work calls when i'm working from home, and occasionally for gaming. Don't really use them much for music since i have other wired cans/IEMs better suited for that. The Deva Pro i use almost daily with my Nvidia Shield for late night TV watching, which includes music videos and clips on YT, etc.I agree the Maxwell are impressive as a wireless closed headphone. Now it would be interesting to venture in comparing them to open wireless ones, like Deva, and wired ones (of course wiring the Maxwell as well as it would be unfair otherwise).
As you may have guessed, I cannot care the less bout gaming, I am only interested in SQ and I am trying to understand what is the real Maxwell's value for money, even taking portability out of scope, in that department. I cannot see any active discussion about this. All my wired headphones are either vintage planar or staxes. These Maxwell cannot touch neither my omega nor my lambda and a coupe of old planars have an linearity and HF refinement the Maxwell cannot dream of. However I see a new wave of planars (including the Maxwell) storming the market and I am really interest on them.
As a gaming oriented headset I find this feature pretty pointless in it's current state.Head Tracking Comes to Maxwell for Professional Use in Dolby Atmos Renderer !

I agree with head tracking being next to worthless for the fixed monitor gaming that I do. It makes more sense for VR but even that is just as niche as a planar gaming headset. Perhaps with PlayStations VR system and their own version of the Maxwell coming out it will add up to something worthwhile? Not for me though. VR is not ubiquitous enough for me to dive into.As a gaming oriented headset I find this feature pretty pointless in it's current state.
I'd much prefer things like being able to control voice /chat mix from my headset on PS5. Surely this can be done now that Sony owns Audeze?
I use PSVR2 quite often. Synth Riders is an insane workout. But as far as this tech for use in VR.. Surely the VR headset is already doing this?I agree with head tracking being next to worthless for the fixed monitor gaming that I do.

Has anyone here tried the defean pads?
As far as I'm aware, this is by design.A question regarding the Maxwell’s.
I use mine solely on the PS5. I set my PS5 to max volume and I then turn the volume down maybe 3/4 steps on the maxwell. I turn them off and then when I power them on again in the morning, the volume of the headset seems to go back to normal, forgetting where I last set the volume. Is this normal?
I see, so is there something I can do to get it back to the setting I last left it at?As far as I'm aware, this is by design.
The PS5 volume setting should stay as you set it but each time you turn your Maxwell's on you'll need to use the volume dial to set as desired.I see, so is there something I can do to get it back to the setting I last left it at?
