Question for
@Mad Lust Envy @Audeze @GadgetryTech , and really the whole Maxwell community in regards to the Maxwell X:
(And sorry if this has been somewhat answered, but I'm still a little confused. And really could use some clarification):
- My current setup = Xbox Series X, Maxwell X, using Dolby Atmos on the Xbox with the following settings: Game Mode, Performance Mode = ON
(this basically defaults you to a flat EQ in Atmos, or at least it appears that way, as there is no way to edit the EQ, with Performance Mode = ON)
** And Yes, I'm on the most recent firmware V38, just released yesterday, headset and Dongle **
Finally the Question (sorry took long enough, right?)
- When I cycle through the EQ's on the Maxwell headset (for example "Competition, Footsteps, Immersive, Bass Boost, Treble Boost, Audeze, and so on"
- Is this actually changing the EQ and the way the headset should sound / perform?
I've only done several hours of testing (trying the different EQ profiles) via games like = BF2042, Warzone 2, Halo Infinite
And at this point, I can't really say that I can tell / notice a big difference between the EQ profiles on the Maxwell X.
Part of me thinks I'm hearing / noticing a subtle difference (like I'm leaning towards Immersive over the others), but I'm honestly not sure at times.
I bring this up, because other headsets I've owned (Turtle Beaches, Astro's, Steel Series, Lucid Sound.., and so on...) I found the EQ changes much more noticeable.
And it was very easy to tell / say, "I prefer EQ X over EQ Y on theses headset." And yes, those headsets don't compare to the Maxwell (in my opinion, even though I still have some love for the Steel Series), as I am / was a Penrose user as well.
So..., maybe I'm getting old, maybe a little crazy, or maybe I haven't spent enough time with the Maxwell X yet to notice the difference.
But I would really like to know / understand this...., Is my setup wrong / correct? Should I notice a difference? I anyone else having trouble hearing the difference between the EQ profiles and so on? The more advice / feedback the better, it's much appreciated.
