If immersive gaming and TV experiences are a priority, the Audeze Maxwell with its excellent gaming score, virtual surround sound, and low latency dongle connection suits you best; however, remember it's heavy and less portable. For active lifestyles and outdoor workouts, the lightweight Mojawa HaptiFit Terra with bone conduction and sweatproof certification will be more comfortable, and its health tracking features add value during exercise. For regular commuting, the Maxwell's active noise cancelling and superior sound quality for music and podcasts are advantages, but its size may be a drawback. Neither excels in noise isolation, so consider your environment. Choose the Maxwell for better build quality and sound immersion or the Terra for fitness and portability. 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."
