Unencumbered Audio
At the heart of the Audeze Maxwell 2 ANC are massive 90-millimeter laser-etched planar magnetic drivers — nearly three times the size of 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 impressive ANC eliminates unwanted background noise, delivering a deeply immersive experience that keeps you locked in to your match, mix, or music with fewer distractions. High-resolution lossless 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 ANC 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 ear cushions with specialized memory foam optimize noise cancellation, provide enhanced comfort, and offer 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 even further, 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 ANC builds on this immersive experience with integrated head tracking and support for platform-specific spatial formats such as Dolby Atmos (Xbox and PC) and Tempest 3D (PlayStation), without requiring external tracking hardware.
Alongside these advanced spatial features, Maxwell 2 ANC 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.
