90mm planar magnetic drivers and 80 hours of battery life, pretty
good. It replaces my 7yo Astro A40 TR. The wifi dongle gives low latency audio and the range is pretty
insane. PC is in the basement and I had loud and clear audio outside
on my driveway on the other side of the house. Tweaking
the EQ a bit and the bass is punchy but not at the cost of making other tones muddy, highs are crisp and bright. Dolby Atmos brings a true surround sound
feel in games
with much more directional accuracy than the Astros. Major
complaint online
is they are heavy
but I don't understand all the butthurt about it. So far my longest wearing them has been 5 or so hours and I have no discomfort. My ears aren't even hot like sweaty
neckbeards are complaining about. Regardless I ordered some funky Wicked
Cushions with "cooling gel", mostly because they look neat and should
give a better
seal. Another problem people complain about is side tone interference noises that Audeze says is not fixable due to hardware. I just turn that shit off because I'm tryna shut out the world
not hear all the bullshit
going
on while I'm trying to get a winner
chicken
dinner.
Quick update, switched my audio settings to match the capabilities of the headset and darn are these nice for music. Changing EQ only works when I wire the headset
to PC but that's a very minor
inconvenience. These are hands
down the best headset
I've tried. Apples to oranges but these shit on my B&O Beoplay EXs. And the Wicked
Cushions were worth it.

dope, I had some LCD-Xs prior and they were stellar headphones.
I was tempted to pick these up for the xbox, didn't think I'd see a review here.

I almost got the LCD-X or the g*mer
version but convinced myself
I wouldn't notice
a difference and the Maxwells would
already put me ahead
of filthy peasants.
