Audeze Maxwell PlayStation Edition is the absolutely best wireless there is, but it is quite expensive. The other recommendation I would take over absolutely anything in your price range would be the HyperX Cloud 3 S. It is highly praised by audiophiles and more.

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

2026 - Bluetooth is still awful, it's incredible
audeze maxwell It seems that they support: "Multipoint, LE Audio, LC3, LC3plus, LDAC, AAC, SBC" That's a nice codec suite! I own a pair of their LCD-X and love them so it's nice to see them pioneering in the BT space too.

How are the Maxwells 2 lately?
There is a white noise when your headset is turned on when no media is playing (standing by) but is not a dislike for me. Connectivity is great, faced no issues so far. I use them for PC and Xbox Also when you get your fresh pair out of the box, I recommend plugging them to PC and update the firmwar

2026 - Bluetooth is still awful, it's incredible
Doesn't the audeze maxwell headphones use BLE audio? I'm not completely sure, but I own one pair and they sound with practically no lag and super good.

M1 Vs. M2 concerns
As I recall, the Maxwell originally used a different software which has been replaced, so if you're still using the older Audeze HQ you'll need the new software on your computer. Both your Maxwell 1 and 2 will work with it. As people have said, you don't have to update your Maxwell 1 drivers if you

Maxwell 2 ANC Impressions
Hello- The Maxwell 1 are certainly the best sounding wireless/bluetooth headphones I have heard. Which includes All the Sony ones, Apple, Focal Bathy's. None of these are close sound quality wise. The only ones that I have not tried that may be close is the new Sennheiser HDB630. If Audeze does not

Headphones recommendation
I have the audeze maxwells, great sound, good mic, wireless, ps5 compatible with the dongle, I also have big ears and they are comfy, these do not have noise cancellation tho but I haven’t felt like I need it. but if you are running hot with the sony xm5 these are not better on that front, I don’t t

Convince me.
The Audeze Maxwell 2 headset sounds great but the wireless dongle is completely crap and will disconnect constantly unless you completely clear any other 2.4 GHz signals near it, which is nigh impossible, and isolate the USB connection through a powered USB hub avoiding any USB 3.0 ports. Do with th

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
