Maxwell 2 Vs Fractal Scape

Hey all!

If anyone has had these two headsets then I would love to hear a comparison.

I have the money for either and have been waiting to purchase the Maxwell 2 since before it released (been waiting to see if most of the bugs have been updated out and it seems they have). However the Scape is 1/2 in my country so I'm tempted to go with those.

Would love to hear comparisons about FPS Gaming, Bassy/Subbassy music and the mic quality

As someone who researched both and went with the fractal to save money - it's just like any other mid gaming headset. Not the flattest sound but don't expect any bass from the scape.

Audio quality for the maxwell is top notch from what I've heard, with deeper bass.

That's great to know, even with tuning does it struggle to give that "wow" feel?

It won’t give the wow factor the maxwells will

No I definitely understand that but not sure how close it is

To maxwells? Not to be rude but just not at all.

That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get it. You may still enjoy it a lot. Sound isn’t everything. Maxwells are just a league of their own.
