The Audeze Maxwell, being less expensive than the Master & Dynamic MW75-Neuro, offers excellent sound for gaming, a removeable and replaceable boom mic for clear communication, and longer battery life for extended use. However, for those frequently on calls and in need of high-quality active noise canceling for noisy environments, the MW75-Neuro provides better noise isolation and integrates unique AI technology to optimize daily activities and mental health routines. It's more suitable for traveling with its lower weight, but its higher price reflects this premium feature set. Choose Maxwell for gaming and budget-friendliness or MW75-Neuro for the best noise cancellation and AI-enhanced features. Give Feedback

Sound Guys
Christian Thomas | August 2023
"Despite a few caveats, the Audeze Maxwell is one of the best-performing gaming headsets on the market and should top the ranks for a few buyers — provided the budget (and neck strength) is there. Gaming headsets have their work cut out for them, and their audience is historically unkind to performance flaws. If you’re an older gamer with some cash to blow, you should be pleased with the Audeze Maxwell."
