What EQ do you prefer inside the App to listen to music? Audeze, Immersive or Bass boost? Imo all of them are bass shy. I get way more bass when I customize one of the presets.

The sound on the Spotify app on PS5 definitely seems to give a lower sound output than when playing a game or watching the likes of YouTube.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 the PS Spotify app? But when I got onto BF I needed to take it down a notch or two, definitely don't want to be listening at that volume with all of the gunshot and explosion noises all the while.
So far though incredibly pleased, as I expected to be. I loved the Penrose despite its flaws, and the Maxwell seems to address a lot of my concerns/gripes with the Penrose and then some, absolutely worth the money and I'll be recommending it to my friends that's for sure!
Yes! Also beware AMD users: sometimes certain ports in certain AM4 motherboards (esp. B550, X570) suffer from a random glitch that may cause dropouts or disconnections. If this happens with a keyboard or a mouse it may go unnoticed, however other devices may drop the connection entirely. Most motherboard vendors fixed it some time ago via BIOS updates. If you have an AM4 motherboard and you are having issues that can be attributed to the USB dongle, you may want to update the BIOS if you can.On a personal note, I find my Type C ports inconsistent, so I would always recommend checking with the included USB A adapter cable for Maxwell connection stability.
I have always had problems with Type C ports in general with computers, PS5, etc. They work well with some things, not so well with others.
Indeed. I've stuck with it since launch day just because I love BF.I gotta say its been great to see a lot of people mentioning 2042 on here. Long time BF fan really concerned about the game with the launch of 2042, but started playing it a couple months ago again and man is it good. Will never get the player base it should have had if it launched like it is now, but good to see some people are firing it up again to keep it alive and kicking well!
That's very odd. I did update the headphones to the latest firmware (1.0.1.32); I don't need to update the dongle or anything right?Have you updated to the latest firmware on Audeze HQ? I ask because PS5 is supposed to stop reading the Dongle as connected when you fully power off the Maxwell. Mine will automatically switch to the HDMI sound output the moment I power off Maxwell.
If you're still having these issues after an update, please contact us at support@audeze.com so we can assist you.
As for volume issues, these things are being addressed in the upcoming firmware, which we hope to have out sometime this week.
The dongle also needs to be updated. And no, the Maxwell disappears as soon as I turn the headset off. Only my HDMI/TV remains as the only Audio choice.That's very odd. I did update the headphones to the latest firmware (1.0.1.32); I don't need to update the dongle or anything right?
The PS5 always detects the dongle even if the headphones are off. If your Maxwells are off, does the PS5 still see your dongle as an audio output device?
Thanks for your response though. I did send an email to support just in case, but I'll continue to tinker now that I know this isn't working as intended.
Can you update the dongle on your smartphone?The dongle also needs to be updated. And no, the Maxwell disappears as soon as I turn the headset off. Only my HDMI/TV remains as the only Audio choice.
I spoke to my team, and it seems the Android app only updates the headset at the moment, so I would suggest using the Windows/Mac app to ensure the dongle gets updated if you're having issues.Can you update the dongle on your smartphone?
Cheers, I must be daft! I didn't realize the dongle had its own firmware as well. I just updated it as well and now it all works as it is supposed to!

Let me confirm... I haven't exactly used the apps to update on my end.
Thank you for providing this bit of info. It somehow went over my head until you brought it up. I'm glad to hear it resolved your issues!Cheers, I must be daft!
