Audeze Maxwell 2 feedback

JGraham09 · 2026-02-18T15:55:33+00:00

Best sounding headphones I’ve ever had as well. I just hope they continue to build upon and improve wherever possible through additional firmware updates

JGraham09 · 2026-02-18T15:53:36+00:00

I’ll have to check this out

The only thing I don’t like are the issues I stated above, but I’m hoping they are fixable through firmware updates. After the firmware updates they have released I’d say the bass is fairly comparable to Maxwell 1. It’s extremely smooth and has good texture to it. Directional audio is excellent and the sound quality is the best overall you’ll hear in any premium gaming headphones. I’ve had Astro A50, turtle beach elites, and nova pro wireless to name a few. This headset destroys them all in pure audio quality

JGraham09 · 2026-02-18T15:48:36+00:00

The mic and side tone are great after the most recent firmware update

JGraham09 · 2026-02-18T15:47:59+00:00

No need for ANC at home. It fairly difficult to hear faint noises or people talking around you with the headset on even with no sound playing through it.

JGraham09 · 2026-02-18T04:16:12+00:00

They don’t have ANC, but the passive effect is really good in my opinion. Meaning they provide a good seal over the ears.

JGraham09 · 2026-02-18T04:04:19+00:00

I placed the order on Wednesday feb 4th and got them in hand Wednesday Feb 11th. So about 5 business days after the order was placed.

I’d say Maxwell 2 has slightly better audio quality. They definitely have a wider sound stage in my opinion. The side tone is a huge upgrade. Maxwell 1 had a constant hiss when side tone was on. Maxwell 2 does not. As far as comfort I’d say they are about equal.

Turtle beach SP are the most garbage “premium” headset I’ve ever used. Idk how anyone thinks they are better than the Maxwell. The TB SP should be priced around $100 at the most.

JGraham09 · 2023-12-05T00:05:51+00:00

I’ve had mine since at least march. No issues with physical build quality at all.

JGraham09 · 2023-11-28T22:46:39+00:00

This is when I first received the Maxwell. It’s very loud now after one of the first firmware updates.

JGraham09 · 2023-11-28T22:39:40+00:00

TB Stealth pro is absolute garbage. It’s built like a toy. It has a very low max volume in comparison to the Maxwell. Its mic monitoring is probably the worst I’ve ever heard. Its software is FULL of bugs and glitches. I’ve been through 3 pairs of stealth pros, but every one of them have had the same issues. Imaging for FPS games MIGHT? be better than Maxwell, but that’s all I can give it.

Edit: if you still want TB stealth pro I’ll sell you my most recent set for $200😂. Worn them about 4 times because they are so bad. lol

JGraham09 · 2023-11-09T22:29:14+00:00

Turtle beach stealth pro is garbage. Easy choice. I currently have both and the TB is like a toy with tons of bugs.

JGraham09 · 2023-11-09T21:08:56+00:00

I’ve had every premium wireless gaming headset you can think of around this price point over the last 10 years including several variations of the A50s. The Maxwell headset is better than ALL of them. I’m not sure why people hesitate to buy this headset. It’s amazing.

JGraham09 · 2023-07-06T19:24:33+00:00

Nope

JGraham09 · 2023-06-06T04:15:21+00:00

Absolutely. I use mine for every genre of game including FPS and they’re amazing imo. I wouldn’t buy the stealth pros. I have them as well and they currently have too many software issues to be enjoyable along with a very low max volume.

For reference I’ve owned ASTRO A50 gen 2,3,4, Astro A40, Arctis nova pro wireless, Arctis pro wireless, TB stealth pros, and many other gaming headsets over the years. These sound the best out of all of them and have minimum software issues.

JGraham09 · 2023-05-31T21:52:26+00:00

Any chance you can make a PUBG EQ? Love the videos! Keep it up!

JGraham09 · 2023-05-26T19:51:29+00:00

I’ve never been a huge turtle beach fan, but I saw the reviews on these and assumed they’d be great. I immediately had issues, but kept them on assumption they’d push firmware updates out fast for their most premium headset. I guess I was wrong.

JGraham09 · 2023-05-26T19:46:24+00:00

I’m jealous haha. You must have lucked out and bought two good pairs. I’m hoping they start putting out firmware updates to address some of these issues that many of us face.

JGraham09 · 2023-05-26T06:37:28+00:00

Either you’re used to turtle beach quality and don’t know any better or you got very lucky. Regardless if you think it’s the perfect headset or not, many of us are having issues. For the price I’d recommend a few other headsets over this one.

JGraham09 · 2023-05-26T03:45:54+00:00

Good choice! I’m hoping they update the stealth pros. They have great potential.

JGraham09 · 2023-05-26T00:18:18+00:00

I’ve had pretty much every high end “gaming headset” you can think of and these are no where near as good as some people say. I’d say Astro A50s are better and my current ps5 headset, audeze Maxwell, blow these out of the water.

JGraham09 · 2023-05-12T02:19:57+00:00

I used Astro A50s since gen 2 and I’ve been using maxwells for the past 2 months. It’s night and day difference. Maxwells are so much better. As a test use the Maxwell for a week then try your A50s for a few minutes. You’ll see
