Gaming audio has come a long way. No longer are headsets just comfortable microphones with speakers — they’re immersive sound machines that can make you hear every footstep before you see your opponent, feel every explosion as if it’s happening right beside you, and enjoy music between sessions without missing a beat. The Audeze Maxwell 2 is the latest contender that aims to deliver exactly that — and more.

A Worthy Successor

Building on the success of the original Maxwell, Audeze Maxwell 2 keeps everything that made its predecessor special — stunning planar magnetic audio, broad platform support, and wireless freedom — and refines it with smart improvements that gamers and creators will appreciate.

Next-Level Sound Quality

At the heart of the Maxwell 2 is 90 mm planar magnetic drivers with advanced acoustic tuning. These larger drivers reproduce sound with exceptional clarity and minimal distortion. Combined with SLAM™ technology — a spatial audio tuning system borrowed from Audeze’s high-end models — you get deeper, cleaner bass and a detailed soundstage that brings games to life.

Whether you’re listening for enemy footsteps in an FPS match or enjoying cinematic soundtracks, the audio fidelity here rivals even some wired audiophile setups.

Smarter Microphone & Communication

One of the biggest upgrades is the AI-powered noise-cancelling mic. With FILTER™ AI noise removal and a high-bandwidth boom mic, voice chat stays clear even in loud environments — ideal for team play and streaming.

All-Day Wireless Freedom

Battery life is nothing short of impressive. The Maxwell 2 delivers 80+ hours of wireless use on a single charge — far beyond most headsets in this category — and supports fast USB-C charging when you’re low on time.

Versatile Connectivity

You’re not limited to one platform:

• Ultra-low latency USB-C dongle for consoles and PC gaming
• Bluetooth 5.3 with advanced codecs (LDAC, LE Audio, Auracast) for phones, tablets, and secondary devices
• Wired options via USB-C or analog cable when needed
  
  

This makes the Maxwell 2 a true all-in-one headset for gaming, music, calls, and more.

Comfort for Long Sessions

Unlike some premium headsets that trade comfort for features, the Maxwell 2 brings both. A wide, ventilated suspension headband and spacious earcups help reduce fatigue during marathon gaming sessions, and the magnetic ear pads make swapping or replacing them a breeze.
