THE G5 MAX

The G5 MAX weighs just 305g and as expected from EDIFIER it's constructed with quality materials.

In terms of size this is a medium-sized model as seen above.

The HECATE logo located on the exterior of both earcups is the sole ARGB lighting zone.

Typically, the model name is printed on both ends of the headband.

The detachable boom microphone port is located at the front of the left earcup.

This is a flexible microphone that also has a mute ring LED at the front.

At the base of the left earcup we find the built-in microphone, USB-C charging/data port and the microphone/lights on/off button.

At the rear HECATE has placed the volume control knob, multi-function G button (power on/off, play/pause, answer/end call, reject call, switch sound effects, GHz/USB/Bluetooth mode) and the activity LED.

As always left/right markings are placed on the interior just over the earcups.

The earpads are large enough to accommodate most ears while the interior fabric also has left/right markings.

The earcups can rotate up to 105 degrees and tilt up to 37.5 degrees.

The HECATE logo is placed on the exterior of the headband.

The headband of the G5 MAX can extend up to 3.5cm on either side (7cm total) via 8 visible increments.

The 2.4GHz USB dongle is a bit larger than expected but at least it looks nice.

ARGB illumination is limited with the G5 MAX since just the HECATE logo on the exterior of the earcups lights up (good for people who don’t like extravagant peripherals).
