An Upgrade in Competitive Audio Immersion
High-level gaming, production, and everyday listening all demand precision audio, and the Audeze Maxwell 2 wireless headset raises the bar with a refined take on Audeze’s already formidable design. Built around powerful 90mm planar magnetic drivers, a detachable noise-filtering boom mic, and optimized spatial audio, Maxwell 2 delivers the clarity, imaging, and focus players need to track movement, communicate clearly, and stay immersed for hours at a time. Versatile connectivity is at the core of the experience, with a dual-function USB-C wireless dongle for ultra-low-latency 2.4GHz operation, USB-C wired playback, and Bluetooth support for seamless use with PC, Mac, Nintendo Switch 2, iOS, and Android devices. Separate PlayStation and Xbox editions ensure native console compatibility while remaining fully functional across all other supported platforms. Whether you’re grinding competitive matches, editing audio, or unwinding with music, the Maxwell 2 combines rock-solid wireless performance, cross-platform flexibility, and a rugged aluminum chassis built to handle marathon sessions without compromise.

Unencumbered audio
At the heart of the Audeze Maxwell 2 are massive 90mm laser-etched planar magnetic drivers — nearly three times larger than those in typical gaming headsets — delivering exceptional detail, speed, and realism. Audeze’s Fluxor magnet array delivers up to twice the driving force of conventional magnet designs, while SLAM technology uses precisely engineered acoustic channels to enhance bass impact and spatial accuracy without sacrificing clarity. Combined with carefully tuned acoustic damping for improved passive noise reduction, the Maxwell 2 keeps you locked into your mix, match, or music with fewer distractions. High-resolution audio up to 24-bit/96kHz is supported over both USB wired and low-latency wireless connections, ensuring pristine playback and precise positional awareness. Rounding out the experience, a high-bandwidth AI noise-removal microphone keeps your voice clear and focused, even in loud environments — so your team hears only what matters, right when it matters.
Fatigue-free comfort
After a test run, audio aficionados at Sweetwater found that the Maxwell 2 design excels during long-term gaming and production sessions. For starters, the headphones’ aluminum yokes pair with an extra-wide, ventilated suspension head strap that delivers a breathable, fatigue-free fit built to handle marathon sessions with ease. Likewise, upgraded magnetically attached ergonomic ear cushions provide enhanced comfort and additional internal space, accommodating a wider range of users with minimal pressure and reduced ear fatigue — even during overnight championships and hours-long raiding parties. To top it all off, the circumaural, closed-back design with improved acoustic damping helps block external noise, keeping you locked into the action at all times.
Immersive spatial audio, streamlined control
Whether working in the studio on a high-profile track or coordinating strategies with your teammates, adding spatial audio to the mix maximizes awareness and sharpens control over your environment. The Maxwell 2 builds on this immersive experience with integrated head tracking and support for platform-specific spatial formats such as Dolby Atmos (Xbox) and Tempest 3D (PlayStation), without requiring external tracking hardware. Alongside these advanced spatial features, Maxwell 2 launches with an all-new Audeze app, redesigned from the ground up for quick, convenient control over headset settings and audio customization on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. Simply connect, adjust your preferences, and enjoy a precise, three-dimensional soundstage that enhances both competitive gameplay and critical listening.
