I’m another proud Maxwell owner that hopes Audeze will standup and address this major design flaw. We need someone from Audeze’s Engineering or Product Owner to provide a honest explanation of the faulty component and a mitigation plan for all current owners (mail-in warranty repair/free post-fix replacement). Not addressing this physical design issue feels criminal and irresponsible. Shame!

@@belgamsafnExactly. After reading numerous complaints with either the frame or cans themselves failing im going to stick with the Sony Pulse Elites that way I can purchase an extended warranty through bestbuy. I'd buy the Maxwells if they were sold through bestbuy but im not dealing with having to mail stuff back and play the waiting game. If I have an issue I can take them straight to bestbuy and swap them out with a new one. QC issues and Design flaws are keeping me away. Even if the sound quality is crazy good.

@@AgoraphobicNews Based on what you can find on the internet, you cannot argue, that its a common issue, but also cannot negate that this might happen. If nothing is broken and its just the adhesive which lost its properties (which seems to be the case, when looking up this problem), you can just repair it yourself really easily. Just get some alcohol to clean of the residues of the original glue and replace it with something like a 2 compund epoxy.

AFAIK Audeze have have a pretty good track record with their customer support/warrenty, and since it broke quite quickly by a suspected QC/design issue they should offer a replacement/credit etc for you. Though it does worry me a little bit now I have placed my order and has been waiting a month for mine… I’ll treat them more delicately more than I otherwise would then. My daily wireless driver of choice atm is the Focal Bathys when out and about, and intended to use the Maxwell has a desk headset only.

Both sides of the headset snapped off/got unglued for me after a few months use. First my right side, then almost exactly a month later, the left.

The headband on my Drop Pandas failed in the same area. I 3D modelled and printed a set of rectangular blocks with a closed channel inside. One side of the channel was printed with a slit in it allowing them to flex open during installation.

I'm actually so pissed to have spend 400 Euros for these, just for them to break in 9 (the first time) and 5 (the second time) for the same reason. For some reason it was always the left driver that broke. The drivers actually had a dent although i bought them brand new and after 5 months they broke. I will not get them the third time afetr refund, although they are the best sounding headsets i've ever owned/listened to. I'm probably going to the the Steelseries Nova Pro, or the new Turtle Beach stealth 700 gen 3.

I'm a pretty extreme basshead, so my custom isn't for most people but: - For FPS games I keep it completely default. Maybe +1 or +2 on 4 KHz to make it sound more open. - For most music I use: 32 - 500 Hz all 0 (default). 1 KHz -9, 2 KHz -9, 4 KHz -9, 8 KHz - 8, 16 KHz -9. In my experience, lowering the highs works out better than boosting the bass since I can raise the volume more before it starts to clip.
