No, i put it over the leather, works fine and much less expensive

My issue is that the default setting does not allow the ear cups to center on my ear so I needed to adjust it to loosen it up a bit.

Hi everyone.
I received my Maxwell a week ago and i think sound and comfort are pretty good. Had the penrose before and the maxwell is a great improvement for me so far.
But sadly it does have the side tone issue as well as the left ear cup volume issue. Left definitly seems to be a bit louder. Not much but noticable enough to get distracted every now and then.

Would you suggest returning it or do you think these problems could be fixed with a future firmware update? Would love to keep them because they are hard to find in my country but hate beeing stuck with these issues after spending 400 €.

I think for the money I wouldn't settle. There are headsets that cost far less that don't have channel balance issues. Just my opinion.

My friends have started to complain that the mic quality (on discord) is signifcantly worse than Penrose. Is this expected?

It shouldn't be. However, it has been reported that too high of the AI noise suppression the Maxwells have can interfere with some background processes that you may have enabled alongside using discord.
Here is a pretty in-depth support page for it.

I have the noise suppression off on Maxwell. I also swapped the mic incase that was the issue.

I just noticed that the Audeze App has a mic volume option, I have not tested it yet but It was my understanding that we could not change the volume and the gain was automatic?

@Audeze A month has passed and we still have no update to fix the use of LDAC with custom EQs.
Can we have updated information?

I agree, this kind of thing really warranted a quick hotfix.

just got the PS version of the Maxwell in today, what firmware version is it that presents the issues where custom EQ skips via LDAC on android?

Version V.46.
It has worked perfectly from the beginning and previous versions.
If yours has V.38, I would recommend not updating if you don't have problems.

Awesome thanks, haven't had a chance to listen yet, thought I would by now but will check and won't update until I see the fix posted if I'm on an earlier version.

I just noticed that the Maxwell is appearing as 2 devices on Window. Is there any difference to them?

This normal. You can use one as a communications device for chat and the other for game audio, then you can balance in headset how much you hear of each on the fly (chat mix).
