That’s good to hear at least. My friend didn’t have that issue as I did either but just a different issue of the headset DAC freezing :/

I thought about that, the wicked cushions but paying a bunch for the top of the line gaming headset and then still needing to buy new cushions just so it’s comfortable is a bit grating I find. That being said I had the same issue with my Hyper X alpha ll, their support was awesome though and I asked them about it and they actually sent me out new double the thickness pads for free. Was tempting to just buy the wireless version of hyperx alpha because my superb experience with their customer support.

But yeah I’m excited to try these Maxwells, I just hope all the issues of the Penrose were addressed and avoided in this model.

Ahh that is annoying hopefully firmware update will fix it. However, I have a feeling the ANC is just problematic with that headset unfortunately. The irony is I was more worried about the microphone rubbing ear issue like a lot of people ran into but that wasn’t an issue although ears did seem touch inner cup a bit.

Fingers crossed the Maxwell was a good decision haha. So hard to find well built products these days it seems.

You could try re pairing it to the DAC to seee if that fixes it

I think it potentially is as I’ve read the ANC isn’t fantastic, read some similar things people having issue with it Although I know someone who said they didn’t notice it but they had a different problem where the headset would crash/freeze haha. Anyway they also are returning their headsets. Seems odd to have so many problems for such an expensive headset, oh well.

Yeah this is true won’t have to use the cord much hopefully

No they don’t I asked Audeze. They claim to have decent passive noise isolation with double chamber headphones.

Yeah I’m sending my Arctis nova pro wireless back to Amazon today. I ordered a Maxwell. The ANC in my Arctis makes a very strange noise. I have two other non gaming headsets and their ANC doesn’t do that weird annoying vibration noise.

I wanted to love the Nova pro wireless. Love the station and swappable batteries I wish all wireless devices used swappable battery packs.
