Features & Capabilities

The Audeze HQ app is a dedicated companion for Audeze Penrose and Maxwell wireless headsets, bringing comprehensive control and customization options to your audio experience. With Bluetooth connectivity, the app ensures that all your personalized settings — including EQ adjustments and feature toggles — stay with your headphones until you decide to change them.

Featuring a 10-band equalizer, Audeze HQ lets you fine-tune your sound with custom EQ curves that can be saved as presets. Control features like side-tone toggling and, when connected to supported devices like Xbox, adjust the game/chat audio mix for the perfect balance. For Maxwell users, additional controls include voice prompt levels and an expanded selection of EQ presets (six predefined plus four user-defined). Note that this app does not support the Audeze Cipher Cable or Mobius headset models.

Headphone is nice but due to the latest frimware update, there's some disturbing sound while playing high in volume. Please need update asap. Thank you

Software app is unresponsive and the "volume limiter" bricks your right driver (no more bass on the right side) only solution is factory reset. Headphones are great tho.
