Our Verdict

Audeze Penrose Wireless

Audeze Maxwell Wireless

The Audeze Maxwell Wireless have the edge over the Audeze Penrose Wireless. The Maxwell are better built, have a flatter sound, which some users may prefer, and have a better overall mic performance, which is good if you want to game with others. They also have an exceptionally longer continuous battery life and support LDAC, which is nice if you want to stream Hi-Res content. However, the Penrose are more comfortable as they weigh less.
