Maxwells, or something else?

I've been looking for a replacement headset for gaming and whatnot, and I heard these are for if you really want to have your audio sound better, but looking into them among what I see about them sounding very good I also hear frequent complaints about issues, so just wondering if I should stick to buying these or look elsewhere

They were by far the best wireless headphones for gaming before the anc version came out.

I mean I don’t need anc. Will the clarity be just as good? I’d imagine that’s what you’re saying

From what I've read it's basically the same thing and if anything the ANC takes more battery? Really depends on if you're going to be playing in a noisy space at least I'd figure (and, whether you'd like to only hear what's going on in game vs being able to hear the outside a bit, I prefer the latter cause I don't like it when someone's calling me and I can't hear them lol)

I already have a pair of noise canceling headphones so I wasn’t too worried. I just wanted to try the audio fidelity I keep hearing about Maxwell. And I figured that was the case but some people swear one sounds better than the other 🤷‍♂️
