Product Manuals

Specification Sheet

Q: Hey can these headphones be used with Virtual reality headsets? I'm specifically talking about the quest 3.

A: undefined

Q: Does this headset also work on ps5/pro and/ or nintendo switch?

A: It works for the ps5 (any version) if you get the dedicated version for the ps5. NOW Ofor the switch, will have to try but my guess would be no.

Q: Hello, just wondering if these have side tone/mic monitoring? Thanks in advance!

A: Yes, the Audeze Maxwell supports sidetone/mic monitoring, but only when used wirelessly with its USB dongle or Bluetooth. Sidetone does not work in wired 3.5 mm mode, since that bypasses the headset’s internal processing.

Great headphones, a couple of quirks.
First thing is the packaging. These things are PACKED in there. I’d say there is a near-zero chance they are damaged from shipping as it’s got foam on every side and nothing can move freely in the box (see picture). Second is setup. Simple enough to plug and play, but if you’re buying this set over the PS5 version it’ll be because this has embedded Dolby Atmos. I’m on PC, so for Windows all I had to do was download Dolby Access on the Windows Store. IMPORTANTLY, on Windows 10 at least, right click the volume button on the lower right corner of the desktop and click “Spatial Audio” then click Dolby Atmos. The included instructions are simple (see picture, good) but can also be a bit vague (bad). Two wheels on the side, one is for overall headphone volume, the other is the ratio between “game” volume and “chat” volume. In my case I could turn either my game volume down to hear my friends on Discord, or turn Discord down to hear my game. Neat feature, kinda confusing with no initial explanation. Build quality is very nice with seemingly high quality materials. This makes it a good bit heavier than my previous headphones, however. Ear cups out of (pleather?) make a great seal that is soft, which helps with immersion, but the great build quality pushes in on my ears quite a bit. There isn’t any standoff room between the ear cups and the base of the headphone, so I found my admittedly large ears getting smushed against the side, which is a bit uncomfortable. The head strap is again high quality, but adjusting it makes you use a screwdriver (see picture). This is of course better than it being fixed in place, so I’m not complaining much, but food for thought for gen 2. The only real sore spot I have with the headphones is the detachable mic. It could be just the pair I got, but I’ve been told both in game and Discord that I sound like I’m underwater and that it sounds worse than the G430s I got quite a few years ago. I downloaded the Audra’s HQ app, updated firmware, nothing helped. Also, the mic monitoring “Sidetone” absolutely MESSED up the sound, so would not recommend turning that on. Overall, a very solid pair of headphones, especially for wireless ones! The only spot that has uncharacteristically low quality is the microphone, which apparently sounds terrible. Because they are $300 dollars, I’ll probably swap them for some other high end set unless Best Buy doesn’t sell anything worth buying. For someone who’s just watching videos or listening to music, it’s worth the money! If you need to use the mic, not so much!

Worth every penny.
Best sounding headset by a mile, nothing has come close. Heavy, but worth it. Suggest getting 3rd party band and cushions. Xbox version works fine on the PS5, so just get that one.

Magnetic planars
these headphones are not normal, they have a magnetic metal plate speaker system, they completely reduce the distortion of a conical speaker. They definitely sound like studio headphones, I bought the version for xbox with doubly atmos included, it is worth it, the best of the best, they feel top quality, I would have liked to bring option for ambient sound, but it is compensated by the audio quality, you can not insure them with bestbuy I could not explain why, but if they have 2 years warranty directly with the factory.
