Stealth Pro 2. Worth it or wait?

I came from an audeze Maxwell. I’ve tried the Nova pros, alienwares, A50’s, and a handful of other “Maxwell competitors”. All of them returned within either a few days or week. Stealth pro 2 instantly made me put maxwells on the shelf 😂

Audeze Maxwell 1 vs 2

Maxwell 2 had a bit of a hiccup at release. With silent DSP revisions in the Audeze software, the Maxwell 2 is now my daily. The Maxwell 1 is great, especially if you can get it on a deal. But the 2 has some upgraded features that make it better overall. - Magnetic earpads- Better side tone- Better

Maxwell 2 VS Stealth Pro 2 comparison

First of all, i never bought any Turtle Beach headsets yet. I came from Beyerdynamic, and sent my G6 & MMX 300 2. Gen into retirement after listening to 90mm Planar Drivers for the first time. The Maxwell1&2 will deliver noticeable more accurate and detailed audio. The base is distortion-free and cl

Can't decide between Maxwell 2 or HDB 630.

Did you manual eq the Maxwell at all or just use the immersive preset? My Maxwell 1 is one of the bassiest headphones I’ve ever heard when eq’d and I’ve had all the gaming headsets as well as quite a few audiophile headphones. You can see the eqs in the app and immersive bass is set at like 2 out of

Amazing headphones, unfortunately not for me.

I mean, seriously... 42mm Drivers? How are they supposed to deliver sound clarity and detail, like 90~100+mm Planar Drivers? Even 50mm Drivers from beyerdynamic can not. The price of this product, and the tiny Drivers get me confused. PS: You can get better wireless audio, for noticeable cheaper pri

Please help me pick my next gaming headset.

I'd take the Maxwells over the A50s. I've got five pairs of Audezes. The Kitharas definitely hold their own.

Just got the Nova Pro OMNI, AMA

Honestly, after owning multiple SteelSeries headsets, I’d say be careful. The Nova line looks amazing on paper, but long term there are too many recurring issues: hinge cracks, battery degradation, sidetone inconsistencies, software bugs with Sonar, random connection drops, and QC that feels very hi

"dont buy a gaming headset, buy quality headphones and a standalone mic" they said?!

Depends on your price range; more often than not these days I'm grabbing the Sennheiser HD 490 Pro for PC gaming. They're incredibly comfortable, well-tuned, and have really good soundstage and imaging for things like footsteps and other audio queues. They're also pretty easy to drive, and don't req

Experience with the Audeze Maxwell

Nova Pro Wired is an OK headset. Wireless is the same but loses some volume due to it being used as wireless. It has the best feature set (like simultaneous BT) and some people like the EQ profiles that Sonar provides. However, when I tried those EQ profiles they were too sharp and treble heavy for
