Our Verdict
Beyerdynamic MMX 300 (2nd Generation)
Audeze Maxwell Wireless
The Beyerdynamic MMX 300 (2nd Generation) and Audeze Maxwell Wireless are both manufactured with audio enthusiasts in mind, with great sounding mics and not particularly impressive noise isolation, but they have key differences. You can only use the Beyerdynamic wired, and their mic is permanently affixed. They feel more comfortable because they weigh less, given that they lack batteries, and use dynamic drivers. In contrast, the Audeze work wirelessly and wired, with a detachable mic.
