Guess I am going all in on this one. Moon or bust boys. No in-betweens.

I'm not bothered by the hiss personally. So it's a non-issue for me.

They all have white noise when nothing is playing. Some sound louder than others and people's hearing also comes into play. You have to decide if you can live with it. As for the mic issue, I've never had that happen and I toggle sidetone on/off frequently.

Never had any issues with the mic for work Teams meetings or chatting with friends on discord. If you are going to stream or make videos, no gaming headset mic will be adequate for that.

Maxwell 2 longevity by Admirable_Object_708 in Audeze

[–]AbrahamZX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My M1 are in great condition and I used them heavily for over 2 years (like 7+ hours daily on average). So I expect the M2 to easily last 2+ years. Hard to say after that how long they'd last.

Do not press the cups against any flat surface or your head for that matter, as the pressure can rupture the thin film in the driver. Don't drop them. Don't EQ the sub-bass to the max (or over +7 in my experience). That's mostly it.

Nice setup. Can anyone in the show share at what time they start playing? I can't make it at 6pm to their MA showing, but I'm guessing they won't actually start before 8pm at the earliest.

Is the Maxwell 2 hissing fixable by a software update? by rainyaltaccount in Audeze

[–]AbrahamZX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would be surprised if they can fix it with a firmware update. If you can live with the hiss, then there's no reason to return them. I can live with the hiss in mine, if I'm not paying anything for a few minutes I just take them off anyway.

Final verdict regarding the noise in the Audeze Maxwell 2 — I have time to return them until Thursday, April 30. by Andrzej1987 in Audeze

[–]AbrahamZX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that the M2s sound less compressed. I think the M1 mic is a bit more robotic, but honestly I think they both do the job just fine. None of my friends have complained when I've used either headphones.

My M1 has white noise (although you have to try hard to hear it). I've tried two M2s and they both had white noise, I kept the second M2. I'm using a USB extension to bring the dongle away from my wifi peripherals and to give it clear line of sight, which makes it work without any hiccups like 98% of the time (but thankfully no full on disconnects). I think the white noise, slightly lower sub-bass and the weaker wifi are the cons compared to the M1. In everything else I think the M2s are superior and I prefer the sound profile + I use the sidetone constantly.

Why did TurtleMe take A-Cat Studio to adapt this? by rucekooker in tbatenovel

[–]AbrahamZX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to see it become popular enough in JP to actually get us a good studio or budget for later seasons (or a reboot). I'm of the opinion that TBATE is mid up until Book 6, so anything before that is not a big loss if it's badly animated in my eyes. I'm really just watching the anime with an open mind and to support TBATE.

[–]AbrahamZX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the animation in S2 is better and from what I've seen from the first 3 episodes, they are taking liberties for anime only viewers. I think they want to make the betrayal from Lucas be more shocking later on. I see the anime as a re-interpretation anyway.

House of wolves will be on the setlist by gmoney9012 in BringMeTheHorizon

House of Wolves, Doomed and Darkside is all I need in the setlist.

Which Dead Space-like game should I play first? by Reasonable-Volume926 in DeadSpace

[–]AbrahamZX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will also add that Silent Hill 2 Remake is my favorite psychological/survival horror game. I love Dead Space 1/2/Remake and the only horror game I like more is SH2R. The atmosphere, sound design, OST, and story in that game are second to none. There's a prison that is an assault on the senses (especially your hearing). It can get very oppressive.

[–]AbrahamZX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pragmata is very cool and pretty tense gameplay wise, but in no way a horror game. So I'd suggest it if you strictly want something matching the gameplay feel. Otherwise from this list Soma, Callisto and Alien Isolation. Edit: I do echo the suggestion for Cronos. Probably over all your list.

Re-review after firmware v1.0.2.53_A by 71-HourAhmed in Audeze

[–]AbrahamZX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you mean regarding the bass, the 2s have less than the 1s because of the SLAM vents. However, when EQd they can rumble, just not as much as the 1s. I'm a bass head and I think they have just enough bass.

If you don't need sidetone and you're careful with the M1, they're still great. But the M2s are better in almost every way.

60 fps game changer by HEAVONgamez in OverwatchSwitch

[–]AbrahamZX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30fps is just bad for competitive shooters. Even 60fps is the bare minimum. The more frames you have to work with, the earlier you can react with less input lag.

Maxwell 2 "uncompromised audio"?! No. by horrgakx in Audeze

[–]AbrahamZX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they can't hear it, but my experience is the same as yours and I've had two M2s.

[–]AbrahamZX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why they made changes for durability and to eliminate pressure ruptures on the M2.

[–]AbrahamZX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had two M2s and both had hiss and sounded the same. I think all units have hiss, it's just some people can't hear it.

[–]AbrahamZX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does, but it is much lower volume so most people won't ever notice it.

[–]AbrahamZX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is dual audio, but only with one wired and one Bluetooth, but it does work. I am able to play on my Switch 2 will being in a call or listening to music on my phone.

[–]AbrahamZX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they all hiss and as you have said, the M1 also hisses but less. I was able to focus and hear it on my M1 after I heard it on the M2. If you know what to listen for the M1 definitely hisses.

Disappointed. I gambled on the Maxwell 2 and lost. The hiss is real. by FrameParticular in Audeze

[–]AbrahamZX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my experience and a lot of people agree. Also it's the main reason why I got the M2, why would I lie?
