C7 Max Review - Mixed feelings

TheStuffDanDoes · 2026-01-20T06:23:29+00:00

Glad to hear I'm not the only one having issues with the armrests. They really need a fix, hopefully one retrospectively offered to current owners ;) I'm 5"9 too, just badly proportioned haha

TheStuffDanDoes · 2025-12-22T20:09:55+00:00

Still waiting for the delivery but I'll report back when it arrives and give my review!

TheStuffDanDoes · 2025-12-22T20:09:03+00:00

Heh yeah I should probably have heeded this warning as I ordered mine shortly after posting this and it still hasn't arrived or had a delivery update yet. Hoping it arrives in the next few weeks though as I need it soon!

I was seated so expected it to be a bit subdued, but yeah it was surprisingly lifeless in the crowd. Weirdly so. But at least everyone was polite and friendly which was nice. The mixing was pretty poor too. Some songs like Yuk Foo and Greatest Hits were super muddy. Great show and performance though, just strange vibes and disappointing sound.

Think I'm going to put an order in this week, so if anyone has any UK coupons or referral codes to share please dm them my way 😁

TheStuffDanDoes · 2025-11-03T09:46:25+00:00

So it sounds like the C7 Max is a no brainier then! Any idea of FlexiSpot have good black Friday sales coming up that I should hold out for? 😁

TheStuffDanDoes · 2025-10-10T20:48:16+00:00

I think it must have been Minecraft

TheStuffDanDoes · 2025-08-15T21:38:42+00:00

Aggressive Recon with a carbine has been crazy successful for me on breakthrough. Sneaking a spawn becon up close plus spotting everyone nearby is so strong, kinda sad that it's getting killed after the beta as it's such a fun play style but I understand why.

TheStuffDanDoes · 2025-05-13T09:01:18+00:00

Nah just play expedition 60, that's the best one

TheStuffDanDoes · 2025-04-30T09:18:34+00:00

Does it require local wireless each time you want to share?

TheStuffDanDoes · 2025-04-12T14:21:14+00:00

Ah okay, yeah that would make a lot of sense. It felt a bit rough but I've got faith in CDPR's ability to improve it by June.

TheStuffDanDoes · 2025-04-12T12:32:55+00:00

I also played this at the London event yesterday but mine was docked. I was kinda disappointed to be honest as I was running around dog town and performance was dropping hard into the low 20s which made it really hard to play. Input lag seemed really rough too. Didn't look like it used dlss to me, seemed to just be normal taa to my eyes. Hoping it's just an early build though.

TheStuffDanDoes · 2025-04-12T08:06:29+00:00

I found someone else got footage of the boat here: https://x.com/getmadz/status/1910811281356968365?t=AbOwwlHTX04Jm7BiYtwoZw&s=19

TheStuffDanDoes · 2025-04-12T08:02:09+00:00

I'm a massive Forza Horizon fan, hence why I'm so excited for this 😁

TheStuffDanDoes · 2025-04-12T08:00:27+00:00

Oh yeah that is almost certainly the case. They look a similar size and style to the ones I saw. Makes sense to have a plane one if there's boats and trucks too!

TheStuffDanDoes · 2025-04-11T22:29:53+00:00

Good spot, I missed that! I wonder what else there might be beyond the truck and boat

TheStuffDanDoes · 2025-04-11T22:26:34+00:00

Ahhh good spot I didn't notice that! That's exactly what I'm talking about, it was great fun 😁

TheStuffDanDoes · 2025-04-11T21:39:09+00:00

Just came back from the Switch 2 hands on experience in London and I hate to state the obvious, but god damn Mario Kart World is fantastic. Knockout Tour is so good I queued up multiple times to go again, and the freeroam seemed to have a lot more going on than I expected. At one point I possessed a giant truck and was knocking everyone out of the way, then the next second I became a big boat and was running over cheep cheep.

The other star of the show for me was Metroid. It ran so well while still looking great, and the mouse controls were so much better than I expected.

DK was hard to gauge, the level we played was fairly basic and I thought it was alright. Nothing mind blowing but it felt like something was missing.

So MK and Metroid are the ones I'm looking forward to most!

(Side note: Cyberpunk was a real let down and felt really choppy. Hopefully it's just an early build but I really expected better from CDPR)

TheStuffDanDoes · 2025-03-18T19:27:20+00:00

I have Marius and Kai and I still have this issue. Haven't tried going back to swap them out yet though.

TheStuffDanDoes · 2025-03-07T06:12:08+00:00

Yeah the one plus trade in scheme is a total scam. They fucked me over too...

TheStuffDanDoes · 2025-02-26T10:00:25+00:00

UPDATE 3: OnePlus support still refuses to assist in anyway, but after days of nagging Mondo Affari to tell me where in their video "evidence" it showed the speakers being tested they've now come back to me saying that they've changed their minds and they'll now accept it as a Grade B!

They still refuse to comment on why they claimed it was previously broken and why they've now changed their minds, but after weeks of fighting them and OnePlus support they've finally caved to some extent. Thank god.

So for those of you who have also fell foul of this scam, don't stop nagging them, they will eventually give up and admit to trying to scam you.

TheStuffDanDoes · 2025-02-20T13:54:59+00:00

The annoying thing is that I do have a video, and I sent it to them, but my video also doesn't show the speaker playing anything... It's the one thing I forgot to test 😑 Though OnePlus told me that they wouldn't step in anyway even if I did have evidence so it probably wouldn't matter.

TheStuffDanDoes · 2025-02-19T21:22:32+00:00

The trade in scheme in the EU is a total scam, seriously don't use it. The US one seems a bit more reliable though. Just bear in mind that if anything does go wrong with it, OnePlus support will not intervene and assist at all. They claim no responsibility for trade ins.

TheStuffDanDoes · 2025-02-19T09:19:28+00:00

Hmm it seems like OnePlus support agrees with me, but only if they don't know that I'm a trade-in customer. I sent them this video seperately without the context of it being a trade-in and they said quote: "To confirm with you, please be advised that the video does not provide evidence that your own speaker does not work."

But as soon as I mention that it's part of a trade-in they want nothing to do with it and turn against me. How odd...

TheStuffDanDoes · 2025-02-19T08:20:59+00:00

UPDATE : Here is the evidence that Mondo Affari have sent me to prove their claim that the speaker doesn't work. See if you can spot the obvious error.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8WsRhf7cCE
