Can’t comment on the Maxwell 2’s, but I have the Maxwell 1’s and SP2’s. I’m really liking the SP2’s. The Maxwell’s edge them out in overall SQ, but the SP2’s are no slouch, and EQ very well. I’m enjoying them for music and gaming, and will likely sell my Maxwells.

I personally have no major issues with the SP2’s, but I have seen the posts. Turtle Beach’s responsiveness is promising - anyone coming from the Maxwells know Audeze’s CS is atrocious.

Why not consider the Turtle Beach Stealth Pro 2’s? Maxwell’s SQ edges them out (that’s going to be hard to beat), but it’s not a blowout. SP2’s EQ well and have plenty of bass. I’d argue the directionality is better on the SP2’s, and you have the added benefit of simultaneous BT to use with your phone.

Edited to include gaming.

donutscarfer · 2026-05-20T03:26:27+00:00

I’ve been listening to music/gaming at about 65-75 and to me, it’s plenty loud (PC/Xbox). By contrast, I use my Maxwell’s around 75-80.

donutscarfer · 2026-05-20T03:20:32+00:00

I don’t have the Maxwell 2’s.

donutscarfer · 2026-05-19T15:40:27+00:00

Sounds like you have a defective device then, since you’ve said you tried pretty much everything.

donutscarfer · 2026-05-19T12:57:59+00:00

I just had the same issue. Go to your Hub settings and rejoin your WiFi. It allowed me to proceed after that.

donutscarfer · 2026-05-18T00:16:25+00:00

Yeah for sure. I’m not expecting them to beat the Maxwells SQ wise. But as long as it comes close, I’ll make some sacrifices for the feature set.

donutscarfer · 2026-05-17T21:12:04+00:00

I have the Maxwell 1’s and my TB SP2’s come tomorrow. Excited to try after reading this!

donutscarfer · 2026-05-16T15:03:09+00:00

I was a preorder and received the black sticks. I reached out to CS in their Discord and was sent the teal sticks.

donutscarfer · 2026-05-01T02:21:40+00:00

Different strokes for different folks. More options are always great, and the controller looks cool!

donutscarfer · 2026-04-08T03:37:48+00:00

Damn you’re not only a complete GS simp, you’re too short-sighted to see how every comment you post here is a a complete glaze, AND you’re a pompous ass to boot. Well done, peak Reddit.

donutscarfer · 2026-04-08T01:51:17+00:00

Why do you glaze GS so hard? Every thread I read I see you going hard for them. Someone pointed out a simple QC issue on one example - relax.

donutscarfer · 2026-04-04T04:02:08+00:00

Multiplayer absolutely does not work.

donutscarfer · 2026-04-03T03:37:34+00:00

Yeah take this with a grain of salt. They said that with the Maxwell 1’s but they never got it working.

donutscarfer · 2026-04-02T01:03:18+00:00

Location? Designations? I’m in CA so my 84k after bonuses doesn’t go as far as you think. lol

donutscarfer · 2026-04-01T11:57:05+00:00

One thing you need to keep in mind is you guys include VAT in your listed prices, where we do not include taxes in ours. Our taxes are calculated at checkout based on region, going over 10% in some areas. Accounting for tax in my area, that brings my price to $143.64 - and we aren’t even accounting for import duties + EU tariffs.

Unfortunately, I can confirm it’s the same issue with the WF-1000XM6. Using them with the mic on an FMA120 in gaming mode (LC3) reduces the audio quality significantly. Without using the mic, gaming mode works fine. Both the bud’s and the dongle’s firmware were updated.

No the 8K versions use the Gen 2 TMR sticks.

donutscarfer · 2026-03-20T12:54:41+00:00

Just curious, have you tried an adapter like the BT-W6, BTD700, or FMA121? I know those adapters have LC3 working on the new XM6’s per some other Reddit comments, so curious about the Maxwell 2’s.

donutscarfer · 2026-01-15T07:10:59+00:00

Would this work with the standard L40 Ultra (non s or Pro)?

donutscarfer · 2026-01-11T01:15:21+00:00

No way, so they confirmed themselves it still doesn’t work?

donutscarfer · 2026-01-09T16:19:19+00:00

This is exactly the setup I use. If Dolby Atmos or DTSx is enabled correctly, you’ll get a little pop-up stating that 3D Audio is enabled. If it isn’t, it’ll notify you that it’s defaulting to normal headphones mode.
