Maxwell

Fractal Design Scapes or Audeze Maxwells. The Audeze Maxwells will sound better, but I think the Scapes are a better overall package in terms of things like comfort and durability.

Audeze Maxwell 1 by far, and it's no comparison, don't get the 2, Sony acquired them and added a ton of issues.

I've had the original maxwell since release no problems did switch out for some wicked cushions after the leather started falling off and got too squishy. Dont drop them. I had an audeze penrose before and they broke from a 1 foot drop

i've looked into this exact comparison. the Audeze Maxwell is the winner for durability and repairability - it has a metal headband and replacement parts are sold separately. the battery life is insane at 80 hours. the Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro has hot-swappable batteries but the headband plastic

Similar situation. I'm looking at both headphones as we speak. IMO these are the top two headphones of it's tier. With the Maxwell 2, I love how it connects to my headphone when turned on, and how it switches back to my speakers when it's off. Yes the Maxwell 2 is limited with it's linear functional

True, a 3.5 mm wired headset we require an external dac and amp to power them as effectively. but USB wired headsets have those components built-in. With a headset like the A50 or A50 X you could easily produce a model with the battery and wireless tech removed and the dac, amp and processor put in

i ran into this exact thing last month when my old headset died. repairable gear is so rare these days. from your shortlist the maxwell is probably the durability winner plus audeze sells spare parts directly. for your budget though the nova pro wireless has hot-swappable batteries which kinda solve

В итерес на истината, първите Audeze Maxwell( gaming set) слушалки купих от Киров. Понеже съм карък, оказаха се дефектни! Дамата беше много готина и след, като тествахме с нея слушалките и тя се съгласи, че е производствен дефект веднага ми ги замениха с нови! Проблемът беше, че нямаха налични и тря
