Audeze Maxwell review::
PCMag.com: Editor's Choice, Excellent. It makes no compromises in performance and feels even sturdier and more comfortable than its predecessor... the audiophile-worthy sound quality alone makes the Maxwell an Editors’ Choice winner for gaming headsets

A Truly unique sound Experience arriving from a truly unique little store. This Headset being out of stock everywhere else but at Headphone Bar Canada, made me gain trust in a new vendor made especially for audiophile / gaming people such as me. Store Experience / Online Shopping Pros: (+) Staff responded to Messages Really fast and were extremally helpful regarding questions about the product and the way they operate. (+) Xpress Shipping was chosen and the package arrived on time in a 2-4 day window. (+) Pricing was beyond... Even with shipping, It was better than other competitors. Middle ground: : Headset felt tampered with, as it arrived with the latest firmware update. This could be the doing of Audeze themselves before even being received by "Headphonebar" This for me felt unnecessary but could be really helpful for people that are strictly on console. Cons: (-) None for now Headset Experience: Moving away from the SteelSeries line up of Arctis Headset... - They both share a similar comfort with the suspended Headband. It being less of a flexible material, Slightly negatively affects comfort. -The Weight for now isn't something too noticeable upon wearing it. But it is in fact built like a tank and feels extremally premium. Yes it is Heavier though. -Sound Is definitively an upgrade in every Frequency. An Immersive Experience! -Controls are Quick and Easily Learned within 1h or less. - Clamping Force Feels on the tighter side, this may be because it is new. TY HEADPHONEBAR For this Amaizing Experience So far :) Headset in the picture was altered with Wicked Cushions. Providing an immediate cooler experience.

Really friendly with their service. A great place to check other headphones. And the products that they sell are always great. Do check this place out if you ever get the chance.
I was on the lookout for a headset that would balance my desire for audiophile quality for music while also being great for gaming. I previously owned the Audeze Penrose which was a hit-and-miss but when I saw Audeze was releasing a new headset, I had to jump on it. I call this a headphone because it's not like a standard gaming headset that trades off gaming features for average or below-average sound. It's a true headphone that you can use to listen to music with amazing detail, clarity, and excellent tuning right out of the box. For gaming, the imaging is fantastic and while the soundstage isn't as good as open-backed headphones, this does the job. The Planar Magnetic drivers are lightning-fast and punchy. Battery life is amazing - I get about 80 hours out of this thing and the fast charging means I can get up and running in no time when the battery is low. The mic quality is great and it comes with a nifty noise suppression feature that lets you adjust how much background noise the mic picks up which is very useful if you tend to game in a noisy environment and your teammates will thank you for it. It works great on PC and is able to take advantage of the tempest audio technology on the PS5. Bluetooth performance on phones is also crisp and it features LDAC which is one of the best Bluetooth codecs. All of this in a headphone with a beautiful, sleek design that's mature and not tacky like a lot of other gaming headsets tend to be (RGB, awkward shapes, etc.). This is easily the best gaming closed-back headphone you can get on the market, hands down, no questions asked. Headphone Bar had these units in hand when they launched and I had an excellent experience purchasing from them and will not hesitate to consider future purchases through them. 5 stars all around!
