Let’s change the subject to something more productive. What headset/headphone are you using right now, and outside of sound, what’s the primary feature you’re looking forward to most on the Maxwell?

After selling my Penrose am using a combination of eq'd Astro A50, Sennheiser/Drop PC37x and Sennheiser HD560s. The wired options are either via the PS5 controller or a Creative G6.

As for the Maxwell, it would have to be the battery life and most importantly, being able to ditch the wires without ditching the audio quality!

Day 65 of waiting for my Maxwell

There is no big secret here. We will keep fine tuning these and will also work with the community in releasing a wide variety of presets for different games in future. With custom EQs we see people sharing their presets. The format is an XML file and anyone should be able to tweak it easily.

Is it possible to make those predefined preset slots also available for customization? Audeze official presets can be released as XML files for user to download.

Therefore, one may able to rearrange their favorite presets order. Keep only those one needed. For example,

Factory:
PD1 (predefined 1), PD2, …, PD6, Empty, …

Customized:
Custom 1, PD1, Custom 2, PD3, Empty, …

Empty slots will be skip automatically, and voice cue can be set through Audeze HQ,

Slot 1: voice cue#7 "EQ One", EQ 1
Slot 2: voice cue#1 "Default", EQ 2
Slot 3: voice cue#8 "EQ Two", EQ 3
Slot 4: voice cue#6 "Alternative", EQ 4
…

If available space is enough, additional voice cues like "Music" "Pop" "Classical" "Gaming" … can be pre-loaded onto the headset, for user to choose for their own presets.

@Mad Lust Envy thanks for the update on the presets, they sound pretty awesome straight outta the gates!

You mentioned that you had some input/gave feedback on the intutiveness of the controls, did you get to offer feedback on the sound presets too?

I love it when you pop into threads!

Yeah that's kind of what I love about this forum. In this thread alone you have Audeze active with the community, then the head of the company just pops by occasionally, it is appreciated and makes you feel connected.

I got a schiit hel to help with my wired headsets. Best one I could find which works in both ps5 and pc without an adapter.

Yea - the Hel is good - was looking at the Hel 2 but the G6 is good enough for now (although the mic input could be better) - no point changing it before the Maxwell appears!

Not sure how you get that from the tweet? Lol

He was joking. Like where's the tweet about actual info about getting the headphones such as Xbox certification update? But then he said, well, at least it was nice to see the headphones.

when will some be sent out for people to review? that would i think satisfy most people, getting some reviews before they are shipped

They will most likely just be shipped around the same time. They won’t send it till it’s ready and when it’s ready they will ship to customers so..

They've already said that reviewers get it at the same time as customers. We won't see reviews until people start getting theirs. At that point, you can judge for yourself lol.

I wonder if venal rtings.com will underestimate Maxwell again, as it was with Penrose. Where in their opinion Penrose is approximately at the level of steelseries arctis 7p.
