What's up Head-Fi,

We're thrilled to introduce our latest addition to the Dekoni Audio family: Maxwell Premium Replacement Earpads. With the launch, two styles are available for anyone interested in upgrading their Maxwell headset.

Elite Velour Earpads - $49.99

Crafted with high-density memory foam, our Elite Velour pads are tailored to enhance your audio. They provide an expansive soundstage and precise imaging, ideal for competitive gamers who seek a more detailed frequency response. The neutral bass can be precisely accentuated and reintroduced to your liking using Audeze Maxwell’s EQ software, making these pads a perfect match for gaming and music enthusiasts alike.

Elite Sheepskin Earpads - $79.99

These earpads are all about creating an intimate, front-and-center audio experience. The high-density memory foam, covered in premium sheepskin leather enriches the bass, offering a warm and enveloping sound. By mimicking the dimensions of the original OEM earpads, they maintain excellent isolation and ANC performance, ensuring you're always at the heart of your music or game. We highly recommend the Sheepskin model for anyone looking for a more immersive gaming experience.

Seamless Integration with Audeze Maxwell

Our Maxwell earpads are designed perfectly to complement the Audeze Maxwell headset. Whether for intense gaming sessions or diving deep into your favorite tracks, these earpads will take your experience to new heights.

Please explain why are they better than the original pads

The sheepskin ones have a little more sub-bass and a little less mid-bass fog, while being pretty much the same elsewhere. Is that not better?

The velour pads, uh, yeah, I am with you there lol.

I do love this new graph format though!

Need to try these out

 

[royiko]

Will you add the cooler gel in the pads like previous game earpads? @DekoniAudio

 

[Florimer]

I gotta be honest guys. Leather pads never failed me once, while i've yet to hear any velour that improves sound.
Am i missing the velour greatness somehow?
Are there really people that go "i wish there was a way to remove 4db off my bass without EQ"?

Hi, its me. I'm the one who appreciates the velour more than the sheepskin model.

The velour opens up some of the soundstage and enhances imaging in my opinion, it's almost as if the clarity gets a boost. I then just tweak the bass content in the EQ software and find that I don't lose much of the clarity at all after reintroducing sub bass.

I would say the velour v. sheepskin debate is really what your main purpose is for having a Maxwell. Are you using the 3D audio software to play FPS games at a higher skill level and need to hear your teammates on voice chat? OR are you using them to listen to music and get the most out of a cinematic gaming experience?

Sheepskin = Immersive and Music oriented
Velour = Competitive oriented

Don't forget comfort reasons as well. Leathers can get hot and sticky, some people might go for a pure comfort play of a fabric material especially when some people can sit at their computer desk or couch for hours.

We find gel to not be the best solution for cooling. Gel has a larger thermal capacity before it reaches equilibrium with your body temp, but once it gets there it stays hot.
Currently the team is working on a new way keeping earpads cool.

I'm going to have to grab a pair of those velour pads for a work+play Maxwell at home.

 

[mobbaddict]

Interesting, the leather pads might really improve sound quality (especially timbre) on top of improving the bass response.

 

[Random nerd]

Those sheepskin pads look like they'd be super fun. I'll let my friend that has one know to look out for these.

How does the depth of these compare to the stock ear pads? I just have an issue with my left ear getting irritated due to it touching the driver.

 

[Helvetica bold]

Do the Sheepskin get as warm as the stock pads?

 

[AxelCloris]

Huzzah, mine are out for delivery! Looking forward to giving them a go later.

Similar to stock in terms of dimensions. They are hand made so there can be a +/- 2mm variance in depth.

Do the Sheepskin get as warm as the stock pads?

Sheepskin is closed just like the stock pleather. The heat performance will be similar to stock. We are currently looking into better ways to handle earpad heat while maintaining sound quality, but that is further on our horizon.
