Audeze brings its proprietary lag-free A.I. powered noise filtration to Maxwell for crystal-clear communication in any environment (this was pioneered with Audeze’s FILTER Speakerphone - one of Time Magazine’s Best Inventions of 2022). The hardware based A.I. system automatically eliminates background noise at the touch of a button, with no additional software or setup required. Friends and teammates will never miss your banter and call-outs thanks to five built-in microphones and a detachable boom mic (designed by our friends at Shure!) Maxwell delivers studio-quality sound and lifelike, powerful dynamics with Audeze’s latest planar magnetic drivers. These made-in-California, 90mm planar magnetic drivers have 3x more surface area than competitors' drivers for incredible sonic detail, authority, and impact. Maxwell’s chassis, featuring a spring-steel headband with an adjustable suspension strap is built for greater comfort over long gaming sessions. The earcups feature a reinforced dual-chamber design for class-leading passive noise isolation.
Maxwell combines the best of both worlds for PCs and Consoles by adding support for features like Game-Chat mix, advanced gaming presets, personalized multi-band EQ, etc. Maxwell also comes with the Audeze HQ gaming app that gives users access to a wide range of customizable features.

Audeze Maxwell | Wireless Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Gaming Headphones
These headphones blow everything else I've tested out of the water! Their musicality is fantastic and really improves the immersion—I've also been told that my voice sounds crisp and clear when playing in a group!
Amazing sound quality
These Audeze Maxwell’s are by far the best headphones I’ve ever owned. Not only for gaming, but for listening to music. Super comfortable, although the ear pads do tend to get a bit warm. BUT….Don’t let that effect your decision. Purchase these and you won’t be disappointed.
