Few months ago I was looking for a new headset and I've tried those Maxwells on, I remember it was a hard pass for me because of their weight - I felt like there was a brick on my head, the earpads were uncomfortable too. Finaly, I took new gen of Astro A50 and I'm very happy with them.

Noooo. Those Wasabi are too :pimp:, too practical and too LED-deficient to be gamer, even if they include "FILTER A.I." :roll:

I usually use my SHP9500 or HD58X with Asgard 2 amp, and both of my headphones are just so dang lightweight and comfy, I won't ever go to anything heavier or less ergonomic. Luckily for us, headphones rarely die, so we are probably set for 10+ years easily still.

They are a tad heavy and not as comfortable as Hifiman Sundaras but they're not too bad either, 4+ hours at a time for me is no problem. The sound quality is excellent for the asking price and the battery life is generous too by today's standards (compared to Logitech anyway). The wireless range is excellent too, much better than my Logitech g535s I use for work which can barely stand me leaving the room sometimes.

That's a valid point. I used the Nova Pro Wireless for over two years before transitioning to the Maxwell 8 months ago, and I did notice that its weight is bad. Recently, I decided to upgrade to the new A50 (2024), and I'm quite pleased with that choice. I had been missing the simultaneous Bluetooth feature, and it's refreshing to finally have a usable microphone!
