As a owner of the Maxwell 1's I find the weight is the only issue I have admittedly I've modded it with a capra audio strap.
The headband strap I think is the best change on Maxwell 2 for sure 😊
All present with the white noise, I play a lot of horror games and there are times when in-game audio is silent and I could really hear the white noise.
I just do not hear it on my Maxwell 2 though.
I have the Maxwell 1 and with sidetone on there is a slight hiss but I don’t even notice it while chatting and stuff it’s easy to forget about. When I turn sidetone off they are dead silent.
Not noticing any noise I see some mention. Dongle has been flawless thus far.
I'm absolutely blown away by them and not been able to take them off, Using for both gaming (Xbox) & music via phone, Just pure bliss too me, Personally I don't think they are that heavy as all the ot
The biggest issues I had were about the dongle connecting and disconnecting at boot on windows, and taking a load of time to actually deliver sound when first connecting (15-20s for my pc to register
I notice no white noise whatsoever while using them. As far as the microphone everyone I've played with has said i sound just fine. Very happy with mine so far
I dont have this warning on my Maxwell, was this like on a separate print out?
Maxwell sounds best with energy up top and bottom.
There's an update available but I'm not updating anymore. Not risking ruining my Maxwells 😂
However, since I play tons of singleplayer games as well, the audio quality of the Maxwell's are in a completely different league, so I can put up with decreased performance in comp games.
I'm going to hold out on the new Maxwells as my first Audeze headset.
