The Audeze Maxwell might be a better choice if you prioritize sound quality, especially for music and immersive gaming and TV experiences, as they have excellent build quality, soundstage, and battery life but at a premium price and heavier weight. However, for everyday use like calls, meetings, and portability, the Raycon The Everyday Earbuds, being more affordable and lightweight, offer good comfort and sufficient sound quality for such activities, along with features like wireless charging and a secure fit during exercise, but they might not match the Audeze Maxwell in terms of overall sound quality and battery life.

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."

"Sure, every influencer owns these buds. They’re still pretty good. In this price range, getting anything that seals well in your ears for good soundstage, doesn’t sound like trash, and won’t immediately break is a huge win. The Everyday Buds tick all of those boxes for me, and I intend to use them at least nearly every day; I go to the gym on alternating evenings. Damn it, YouTube. You've cost me good money again."
