A hot mess

It’s sad when fantastic hardware is let down by ugly, difficult, and unreliable software. I have to use a pc to update my maxwells, and change eq settings manually. I would expect this on cheap, trashy headphones. Not Audeze headphones. I tried showing them off, and now they won’t connect to the app. Frustrating.

APP IS UNUSABLE

The only thing that functions in this application is the ability to turn sidetone on/off and adjust the level of sidetone. Everything else freezes and/or crashes the app.

Very bad

Doesn't work well with my Maxwell. Using EQ is pretty much why you'll be using this for and going to EQ tab goes to infinite loading screen. Dev should fix this as it's a most used feature.

This is a high-end headset app, it does not work properly.

It crashes constantly, good looking interface but it is worth nothing if it does not work as it should.

3 stars because it used to work (weeks ago).

Now the EQ does not work at all. It stays in the loading screen.

Terrible

I literally can not open the EQ tab without it getting stuck in a infinite loading loop. I don’t understand how you can make a simple app so badly

Bricked since iOS 17.4.1

Not sure if it is a coincidence but ever since iOS 17.4.1, the app displays “DEVICE CONNECTING…” with a spinning icon regardless if my cipher cable is connected. Rebooting phone and reinstalling app makes no difference. Was working fine on iOS 17.4.0. This is on an iPhone 14 Pro with iSine 20.

Ratings are not fair

iPhone 13Pro, IOS 17 Everything is smooth and works well. I see a lot of negative feedback still this app helps and synchronises all the settings over the air to the headphones and the PC app at once without delays.

Much improved.

This app was a mess early on, but it is much improved. Still needs a few minor tweaks, but solid overall. Audeze if you are listening please add ONE key feature: PEQ. If you add PEQ (parametric equalization) this would make the Maxwell & HQ combo the un contested best value in audio. Thank you.

App doesn’t work with iPhone 15

I purchased a new iPhone and the Apple brand usb-c to lightning adapter so that I could use my Audeze isine headphones and adjust the EQ with the app. The good part is that with the adapter I can play music but the app can not find my headphones. It obviously is something with the new Apple adapter not being able to communicate with the Audeze app. So you can play music but the app is unusable. I don’t usually use an EQ but with these headphones the midrange is definitely in need of some toning down. So maybe someday Audeze will fix the app so that it can communicate with Apples new adapter. But for now I’m going back to my sennheisers.

Horrible App

I purchased the Maxwells for Xbox and you can’t connect to the app while the dongle is connected. Adjustments lag . This is a horrible interface. Seriously thinking about asking to return my headset. This is crap for a 329 dollar headset.
