I ended up keeping my Audeze Maxwell set, but only just. 6 weeks into ownership, my opinion hasn't really change: They sound great! Their software features are dogshit. Their input priority makes no sense and in a constant source of frustration. The wireless is impressive for receiving, but is very spotty for sending. I can walk around the house and hear output all the time, but I can't go more then 20ft before I can no longer talk in Discord. Oh, and speaking of Discord: The mic sounds terrible in Discord. I've fiddled with that poo poo so much, and they even have documentation about making it sound better, but hours and hours of messing with it and it's still easily the worst sounding (and most expensive) mic in my collection. I've resigned to just using my old HyperX Cloud IIs for games where latency matters (GGST, SF6, etc.) and also for games where I have to talk (WoW, Dota) then manually switching back to the Maxwells for everything else. As a *gaming* headset, the OG HyperX CLoud IIs are just better for less then a 1/3rd the price. I'm still on the hunt for someone to actually do a Wireless headset right.

njsykora posted:Sony bought Audeze. Dunno how to feel about that. I've only really used their more 'consumer grade' headsets (Penrose and Maxwell headsets), and I have mixed things to say about them, but I have mixed-to-negative things to say about basically every headset, so Audeze at least trying some goofy poo poo and making their stuff out of 'not cheap plastic' always put them a cut above the rest. I'm guess an acquisition from Sony means the death of the interesting bits of the brand.

I am stunned that Bose would make something terrible.

I'm looking at some wireless in-ear solutions for my desktop/phone (or something that can accommodate a loop in a helix piercing). I was looking at Sony WF-1000XM5s and front and center is 'Alexa Built In!'. What exactly does this mean, because if it means what it sounds like it means, this is a deal killer - I do not want any kind of Assistant poo poo on my IEMs. Can I turn this off? Does it have to be paired with an app to make that happen? Should I just get Sony WF-1000XM4s?
