Audeze Maxwell review - the best gaming headset around?

If you ask around you might be told that the Audeze Maxwell is the best gaming headset that money can buy. You'd certainly assume so based on the price. This is flagship headset with some specs to match and there's got to be a reason EVERYONE raves about it surely?

So here is my review of the Audeze Maxwell and my thoughts on why it's great but also not.
