I just bought Audeze Maxwell and I'm having issues with them. The game channel is way more quiet than the chat channel and the headpones also make a popping/crackling sound which is driving me insane. Is it possible to fix that?
That's some stuff I only experienced with some cheap ass 20€ headphones.Tried it with an different OS/PC?
What the fuck do you mean game channel don't you have a software mixer

Have you tried not being a gamer? I don't know wtf a "game channel" is but crackling might happen when you mix two loud sounds without negative gain. Try installing equalizer apo and reducing the system gain by 6dB and see if it helps.

>>107899623If your pervious headphones weren't doing this then just return them.
>>107899457Gaming headphones always suck. I've tried a dozen from cheap to brutally expensive. Want good audio and mic? Buy separate headphones and a mic.
>>107899457>make a popping/crackling sound which is driving me insaneshould've googled maxwell planar crinkle. the maxwell is a mass market cheap cut down of their usually robust headphones. and thus they made theirs with shittier planar membranes that break. combine that with gamer fags that toss their headphones around. planars should always be handled with kid gloves. and never press the cups together especially in close backs. should've got a good set of gaming tier iems for the same price
Since air is trapped between your head and the diaphragm it creates a pressure zone (even with open-back headphone designs), and as the headphones shift with movement you may hear a slight crinkling sound from the diaphragm. This is a normal occurrence with many headphone driver designs and is nothing to be concerned about - it's the sound of the diaphragm moving back and forth with the changes in air pressure. This noise is usually at a low level and should not be heard above your audio while in use. Sometimes as the driver is worn in with age or heavy use, the sound can become more apparent, and sometimes it may also lessen again. This is mostly influenced by factors in your environment (such as temperature and humidity), and we don't have control over whether or not this occurs.We recommend exercising certain cautions when handling your headphones: trapped air can create high pressure and sudden pressure changes could damage the diaphragms by over-stressing them, which is not covered by warranty. When you put the headphones on or take them off, it's not a good idea to press them hard and fast against the head, so we recommend reasonably slow and steady movement to allow the air pressure to stabilize. Caution should also be taken when putting the headphones on a flat surface like a desk or table with the earpads facing down.
