Arctis nova pro, Audeze Maxwell, Astro A50 gen 5 or ???

Going to get some wireless cans for gaming only (I have others for music), and was thinking about the 3 in the title.
Anyone have any thoughts or maybe any other choices?

Just to add, I won’t be using the mic, so the quality of that doesn’t matter.

Audeze Maxwell out of those, although I'd not differentiate gaming Vs music cans unless you're doing so out of a need for wireless. You can get the Hifiman Deva Pro with the wireless receiver for around £130-150 if you shop around, which will work well with whatever emulated surround you favour if that's your thing -- and all of those headphones are using some form of it anyway.

Thanks.
I’m 100% doing it for wireless.
I mainly use AudioQuest Nighthawks for music and even then the wires drive me nuts.

I absolutely love the Maxwells. I couldn't wear the penrose for more than 20 minutes without it hurting my head, but these ones I can wear for hours.
Excellent battery life too, and sound obviously. Paid just over 200 for mine. I got the PlayStation version because firstly I've usually got a PlayStation knocking about and secondly I already had the Dolby Atmos licence on my PC (which is why Xbox version costs more)

These turned up this morning from Scan (OCUK don't really have a decent range of higher end cans)..

They certainly feel quality and well built.
I'll have a play when I get home, but expectations are high.

Great choice, I have them and really like them, the default Audeze profile is great. I got a set wicked cushions for mine, well I got two by mistake and told I could keep them The standard ones just felt a bit too thin for me, plus I have them on my DT990s

Out of the selection I would opt for the Arctis Nova Pro. I have used it myself and would recommend.

I have the Audeze Mobius and they are fantastic. So I think you will be pretty happy with the Maxwells, especially if you have never listened to Planars before.

I struggle to go with anything other than planars now, been running mainly on a set of Audeze LCD2's for a good few years and I've yet to find anything I've enjoyed more that didn't cost silly money.

How are you getting on with the Maxwells @JonRGV250 ?
