Audeze, a leader in premium headphones, has unveiled its newest gaming headset: Maxwell 2. This next-generation model builds on the success of the original Maxwell, which earned worldwide acclaim from media, gamers, and audio professionals. Every detail of the Audeze Maxwell 2 has been meticulously designed to deliver unparalleled sound quality, superior comfort, and effortless connectivity across all platforms. Whether you’re a competitive player or an immersion-focused enthusiast, this evolution of a legendary gaming audio classic promises an experience worth celebrating.
The Audeze Maxwell 2 uses the brand’s patent-pending SLAM technology, delivering enhanced spatial immersion, pinpoint accuracy, and a more impactful bass response. First introduced in the 2024 flagship CRBN2 electrostatic headphone, SLAM now combines Audeze’s cutting-edge 90mm planar magnetic drivers with patented Fluxor magnets and Fazor waveguides.
The result is an expansive frequency range from 10 Hz to 50 kHz that captures every nuance—from the faintest footsteps to the most explosive moments—with near-zero distortion.
The Audeze Maxwell is built for marathon gaming sessions with comfort as a priority. Its upgraded suspension strap is wider, softer, and features ventilation holes for lasting breathability. The redesigned earpads provide a more spacious over-ear closed-back fit, reducing fatigue and accommodating a broader range of users. Plus, the new magnetic attachment system makes swapping earpads quick and effortless.
Clear communication is essential in competitive gaming, and Maxwell 2 delivers with its advanced AI-powered noise-canceling microphone system. The upgraded FILTER AI technology now offers double the bandwidth, while the detachable hypercardioid boom mic eliminates background noise for crystal-clear team communication. Convenient hardware volume controls keep audio management right at your fingertips.
The Audeze Maxwell 2 is built for seamless connectivity and uninterrupted play. Enjoy lag-free wireless gaming with the included ultra-low-latency USB-C dongle, or take advantage of Bluetooth 5.3 with LE Audio and LDAC for versatile pairing with mobile devices. Its high-capacity lithium-polymer battery provides over 80 hours of continuous wireless use (at 80dBA), and USB-C fast charging ensures you’re back in action quickly.
The all-new Audeze app debuts alongside Maxwell 2, featuring a sleek, modern interface, lightning-fast responsiveness, and enhanced customization options. Available for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, the app also supports the original Maxwell for a unified experience.
