Audeze has officially unveiled the Maxwell 2, the next evolution of one of the most successful premium wireless gaming headsets currently on the market, the OG Maxwell. With meaningful performance upgrades out of the box as well as introducting features such as silultaneous playback options, providing improved comfort via redesigned earpads and straps, Audeze has left no stone unturned in its quest to deliver the best in class wireless gaming headset of 2026.

Combined with Audeze’s world famous 90mm planar magnetic drivers, the result is a bigger, cleaner soundstage that benefits competitive play just as much as immserive gaming.
Comfort and usability have been pushed further too. A redesigned suspension headband, improved airflow, and magnetic earpads make Maxwell 2 better suited to long sessions, while upgraded mic performance with FILTER™ AI noise reduction ensures clear voice comms for multiplayer and streaming.
