One of the biggest improvements comes from the new housing. Maxwell has a brand new driver design that was based on the original Mobius/Penrose design and is going to have a similar sonic signature. How does the Maxwell's sound differ from Mobius and Penrose? Maxwell has an improved chassis using premium materials for improved durability, a greatly extended battery life (greater than 80 hours from our testing), utilizes the new Bluetooth 5.3 protocol for better wireless range and stability, and allows for hi-res audio playback through its USB mode. Maxwell offers several significant advancements over Penrose. What improvements does Maxwell have over Penrose? We recommend use of the properly supported version for each console. Using the Xbox version on PS via wired USB, there may be some limitations in volume control and other possible loss of functionality. Xbox version on PlayStation via the USB dongle is not officially supported and may not work. In low-latency wireless mode or via USB, due to differing hardware, firmware, and licensing requirements, the PlayStation version will not work on Xbox. Will the Xbox Maxwell work with PlayStation (or vice versa)?Įither version is universally compatible using the 3.5mm connection.
