Found the ZMF Pilot Pad to help with comfort. Coupled that with Wicked Cushions and I’m quite cozy over stock.
Just as a feedback, after starting using the dongle for Microsoft Teams all goes fine. I think the problem before was using the dongle WITH the bluetooth connection active at the same time with the computer.
The fit is too snug for my liking so I have regrets. Was this a final sale? I might give it away to a friend. I rather keep Maxwell on a safe headphone stand.
I won’t store the Maxwell in these, as I never sore headphones in a case. For me the case is for transporting.
I haven’t tried to cut the foam myself, though I might this weekend. I will probably remove the foam and just use a sharp steak knife, cutting a little bit at a time. If I try the experiment I’ll report back on the results. One thing to note is that cutting by hand will clearly not result in as aesthetically pleasing a foam cuts as from the factory, but to me it’s not a big deal as the case only matters when it is closed
Mine was tight with stock pads. I cut mine yesterday. It doesn't look great but it takes the stress off the headphones. I figure it's better to modify a $40 case vs potentially damaging a $300 set of headphones. Cutting was easy with a sharp knife. I'm attaching a pic. It looks rough but it works very well. I might try to clean it up later, but honestly if fits right and that's what matters to me. Sorry for pic quality. Didn't want to wait for daylight to take a proper pic.I haven’t tried to cut the foam myself, though I might this weekend.

Mine also are tight but I think that is more to do with the Wicked pads… I’ll see if I can find my original pads and try them to see if that’s the issue before I do any cuts.
I will have 4. I generally just keep my headphones on stands in various locations around my house. I think this will let me put more of them away...If the foam cutout area were bigger I might be tempted too! Haha. I'm trying to keep my collection from getting too crazy, but having at least a couple cases to put stuff away is nice. As it happens, I'm heading to Japan for a couple weeks and wanted to put a lot of stuff away, lest the cat get too bored and knock a bunch of headphone stands over. (I have lots of stands but limited surface area to put them where he's not liable to brush up against the stands/headphones and knock them over in the process.)All this talk of the Audeze case has led me to purchase 2 more
Ah yes, cats, our overlords!
. Safe travels!!
Let us know what they're like if you get a pair pls. Would be interested in these down the line if they don't muddy the sound at all. Graphs for wicked cushions were close but sounded very different to me in reality.
