Audeze, a leader in premium headphones, has launched the Maxwell 2, the highly anticipated successor to the acclaimed original Maxwell headset. Building on the global recognition of its predecessor, Maxwell 2 delivers a complete upgrade in audio fidelity, comfort, and connectivity, making it a must-have for competitive gamers and immersive enthusiasts alike.
At the heart of Maxwell 2’s audio performance is Audeze’s patent-pending SLAM™ technology, which enhances spatial precision and delivers punchier bass. First featured in the 2024 CRBN2 electrostatic headphones, SLAM™ combines with Audeze’s 90mm planar magnetic drivers, patented Fluxor™ magnets, and Fazor™ waveguides to cover an expansive 10 Hz to 50 kHz frequency range. This ensures every sound, from subtle footsteps to massive explosions, is rendered with astonishing clarity and near-zero distortion.
Comfort during long gaming sessions is a priority with Maxwell 2. The upgraded suspension strap is wide and ventilated for breathability, while the new earpad design provides more room for fatigue-free listening. A magnetic attachment system allows for easy earpad replacement, so maintenance is quick and effortless.
Communication is equally important in competitive play. Maxwell 2 features an AI-powered noise-cancelling microphone system with FILTER™ AI noise removal, offering double the bandwidth of previous models. The removable hypercardioid boom mic eliminates background noise for crystal-clear voice chat, while hardware volume controls put full command of your audio at your fingertips.
Connectivity and battery life have also been enhanced. Gamers can go wireless with the included ultra-low latency USB-C dongle for lag-free gameplay, or use Bluetooth 5.3 with LE Audio and LDAC to connect to mobile devices. A high-capacity lithium-polymer battery delivers over 80 hours of continuous wireless use, and USB-C fast charging ensures minimal downtime.
Maxwell 2 introduces the all-new Audeze app, featuring a sleek interface, responsive controls, and improved customisation. The app is compatible with both Maxwell 2 and the original Maxwell, and is available on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.
