I often found it hard to wholeheartedly recommend the original Audeze Maxwell among the rest of the best gaming headsets on the market. The OG was, and the new Audeze Maxwell 2 still is, at the top of the food chain when it comes to clean, accurate, powerful audio, but the previous headset's comfort shortcomings and more audiophile-leaning feature set largely held it back.
After spending hours with the new headband redesign on my noggin, I can confidently say Audeze has fixed one of its issues. Whether there's enough outside of audio quality to draw players away from more feature-rich headsets is another matter.
